Support for HP-UX 32-bit 11.00

HP-UX 11.0 9806 or later extension pak 9806 is required

	NOTE: 64-bit HP-UX 11.0 is NOT supported at this time. This release will NOT run on a V-class system The HP-UX 10.20 version of AS/U has not been updated in this release

Support for Windows 98

Blobadm utility option added to shrink large database files such as the ACL database (blobadm -qA). Note that an HP-UX patch is required for safe operation of this utility.

File access performance when using large ACL databases has been improved

High Availability (HA) capability requires RFC-NetBios patch. Due to changes in the network transport, High Availability (HA) capability is not supported in the initial shipping release of 11.0 AS/U. There will be an RFC-NetBIOS patch, PHNE_16579, to enable HA on 11.0 AS/U. The patch should be available shortly after this release ships. Please contact your HP Support Representative for more information.

This release of ASU is Y2K compliant.

In the AS/U Administrator's Guide (pg. 128),the second bulleted item should read:

AS/U Japanese character support is only available on HP-UX 10.20 and later. This capability does not require additional disk space or memory.

In the AS/U Administrator's Guide (pg. 130) the section starting with AS/U cannot handle the following characters as file or directory names from Windows 95(J) clients." should be replaced by the following:

AS/U cannot handle the characters 8470 - 8491 (SJIS code) in file or directory names from any client, including Windows 95(J), Windows 98(J), Windows NT 3.51(J) and Windows NT 4.0(J). There is no workaround.

In the AS/U Administrator's Guide (pg. 147) the description for the Registry parameter 'UnixFilePerms' should be appended with the following line:

"With AS/U release B.04.03 and later, the default value was changed from 02664 to 0664."

In the AS/U Administrator's Guide (pg. 147) the description for the Registry parameter 'UnixQuotas' reads:

"Two quotas are supported: i-node and block quotas for HFS file systems. This is true to the extent of the ability of these file systems to support UNIX system quotas".

With AS/U release B.03.02.02 and later, support for HP-UX disk quotas is extended to JFS filesystems as well (there should not be a distinction between HFS and JFS.)

In the AS/U Administrator's Guide (pg. 152) the description for the Registry parameter NumSERVER_SESSION should be appended with the following line:

"With AS/U release B.04.02 and later, the default value was increased from 100 to 1024."

Setting the statpkey parameter to 'Printer' in the [spooler] section of the lanman.ini file will prevent the AS/U spooler from recognizing HPDPS printers. This is due to limitations in the AS/U lanman.ini parsing function. The "AS/U Support of HPDPS Spooler" section of the Advanced Server/9000 Administrator's Guide erroneously lists the suggested value for statpkey as 'Printer.' The correct suggested value for statpkey is 'Print.'

Below is an example of the suggested lanman.ini entry:

[spooler]
statpkey= Print

The MaxFileSizeInKB parameter in the AS/U registry places an upper limit on the size of files that can be created from the client. The default value is 20000KB. If clients wish to create files larger than the default, the System Administrator must change MaxFileSizeInKB using regedit on a NT client or reconfig on the HP-UX command line. AS/U must then be restarted to make the changes effective.

For more detailed information, refer to the "File Service Parameters Entries" Section in Appendix A of the AS/U Administrator's Guide.

Note, the similar sounding parameter MaxFileSize in the lanman.ini file does not affect the maximum file size for files created by clients.
