Software Version ID Numbers
Each data communications product consists of a variety of software
modules. Each software module has an individual version number.
The software modules of all HP data communications products use a
standard version stamp. This stamp has the format:
vuuffiii
where values represent the following:
v The version number of the software. This
corresponds to a major revision or a version for a
new or revised system environment.
u The update level of the software. This corresponds
to a significant revision in product functionality.
f The fix level of the software. This corresponds to
a new, supported revision of the software.
i The internal fix level of the software. This is
for differentiating special releases of software
that do not correspond to a normal release cycle.
Under normal circumstances, you do not need to
concern yourself with this field when you are
determining the compatibility of a product.
A subsystem is a grouping of software modules. The software modules
within each subsystem usually have a common or similar function. Each
software module within a subsystem has its own version ID number. If the
version, update, and fix levels of these modules do not match, the
subsystem will not work correctly. You can use NMMAINT to determine if
your software installation is valid. The information provided by NMMAINT
must be included in any service request submitted to HP. Refer to the
NS3000/iX Error Message and Recovery Manual or to the Node Manager's
Guide for any HP-IBM product for information about submitting service
requests (SRs).
