HP NetServer AA Solution Release Notes • Debug tools that use drivers or have application code tied to hardware performance counters may cause the HP NetServer AA Solution server to hang or crash. Generally, by following these guidelines you can avoid problems associated with debug tools: - Do not run user-level debug tools such as WinDbg and Softice on the CEs. - Do not use kernel mode (remote) debugging because they are not supported on the CEs. - Do not run development tools such as VTUNE (a performance application) on the CEs. Documentation Errata HP NetServer AA Solution documentation does not include a definition of the term "rail." Add the following definition of this term to your Glossary. Rail - A pair of NIC cards, one in each IOP, used by the CE operating system to create one redundant network connection. Note:The redundancy used in creating rails is not adapter teaming, which is not supported on HP NetServer AA Solution servers. Note the following corrections to your HP NetServer AA Solution documentation: • In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator's Guide, there is an error in Table 1-1. The description of Industry-standard hardware platform incorrectly states that HP NetServer AA Solution supports Pentium II- and Pentium III-based system hardware. The description should state that HP NetServer AA Solution supports only Pentium III-based system hardware. • In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator's Guide, on page 177 and page 192, the discussion about invoking the mtcconfig -netinfo and mtceinfo commands is misleading. At the MS-DOS prompt, you cannot type the commands as described. HP NetServer AA Solution commands are located in the folder \Program Files\Marathon Endurance. Refer to Endurance_APP_DATA Environment Variable for information about how to use the new ENDURANCE_APP_DATA environment variable to compensate the default search path for ease in accessing commands and utilities. • In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator's Guide, in Installing the Adapters in the IOPs, the instructions about using MTCFLASH to update the MICs need additional clarification. 17
