HP-UX 10.30 uses Version 4 of iFOR/LS from Gradient Technologies.
Previous HP-UX releases have included Version 3.X of Gradient's
iFOR/LS product.
Summary of Change |
 |
Defects fixed for this release include changes available in
patch PHSS_8508:
i4target returning "ff000000" for systems which have multiple LAN cards
or FDDI Interface. |
The directory structure of the iFOR/LS product is simplified
to reduce the number of symlinks and the number of directory levels
where the files are delivered. Two unnecessary directory levels
are removed for this release. Files formerly delivered to /opt/ifor/ls/os/hpux
are now delivered to /opt/ifor/ls.
For example, commands are found under /opt/ifor/ls/bin,
the one remaining shared library is under /opt/ifor/ls/dll,
and configuration files are under /opt/ifor/ls/conf.
The symbolic links from /opt/ifor/bin
and from /opt/ifor/ls/bin
to /opt/ifor/ls/os/hpux/bin
are removed.
The symbolic links from /opt/ifor/dll
and from /opt/ifor/ls/dll
to /opt/ifor/ls/os/hpux/dll
are removed.
The removal of these links and of the obsolete files is accomplished
by a LSSERV product level preinstall script.
The user interface to the i4config
script is modified. This script permits you to configure a license
client system using direct binding to a server rather than through
the NCS name server capability.
Impact |
|
Using direct binding is easy and quick, and avoids NCS problems.
Compatibility |
|
The license database file built with earlier versions of iFOR/LS
is not compatible with this 10.30 version. Translating an existing
license database is accomplished by executing the command /opt/ifor/ls/bin/v3tov4.
This command, if necessary, is executed when the new version of
the LSSERV product is installed. Data files created with this version
are not portable to a system running an older version of iFOR/LS.
The binaries are compatible with HP-UX 10.10 and newer systems.
Interoperability is not affected. A license client system
running any version of iFOR/LS can be served by a system running
any version of iFOR/LS. Conversely, a license server system running
any version of iFOR/LS software can serve licenses to any other
HP-UX system running any version of iFOR/LS.
