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 NS 3000/iX Error Message and Recovery
Manual or to the Node Manager's Guide for any HP-IBM product for
information about submitting change requests (CRs).
