4.36.1 Patch Kits Needed for Cluster Compatibility
V8.2
Before introducing an OpenVMS Version 8.2 (or higher) system into an existing
OpenVMS Cluster system, you must apply certain patch kits (also known as
remedial kits) to your systems running earlier versions of OpenVMS. If you
are using Fibre Channel, XFC, or Volume Shadowing, additional patch kits are
required. Note that these kits are version specific.
The versions listed in Table 4–2 are supported in either a warranted
configuration or a migration pair configuration. For more information about
these configurations, refer to either HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems or the HP
OpenVMS Version 8.3 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
Table 4–2 lists the facilities that require patch kits and the patch ID names. Each
patch kit has a corresponding readme file with the same name (file extension is
.README).
You can either download the patch kits from the following web site (select the
OpenVMS Software Patches option), or contact your HP support representative to
receive the patch kits on media appropriate for your system:
http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do
Note
Patch kits are periodically updated on an as-needed basis. Always use the
most recent patch kit for the facility, as indicated by the version number
in the kit’s readme file. The most recent version of each kit is the version
posted on the web site.
