CHAPTER 1 ENHANCEMENTS @MCIPL@ version 1.16.00 The year 2000 is now supported. The date entry remains as two digits, however, the main screen now displays the correct four digit year and will correctly update on the rollover to the year 2000. DEVLIST version 7.53.01 Added support for the 2.3 GB (1.14 per side) removable SCSI disk drive (2288V3). DEVLIST version 7.42.03 Added support for the 4.2 GB 3.5" disk drive (2279V6). CHAPTER 2 SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS VS Operating System 7.21.09 or later 7.42.00 or later 7.53.00 or later CHAPTER 3 PROBLEMS CORRECTED N/A CHAPTER 4 RESTRICTIONS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Microcode files @50V68, @50V68E, and @MCRCU, and @MCIPL@ are to be copied to @SYSTEM@ (See installation instructions) if installing the drive(s) on a VS5000/6000. If installing the drive(s) on a High end VS 300/7000/8000/9000/10000/12000, it is only necessary to copy the @70V68 microcode file to @SYSTEM@. CHAPTER 5 SPECIAL CONDITIONS For 9GB support, software must be enabled by Wang. SCSI devices should not be powered off and on during and after IPL. IPL is NOT supported from a 9GB disk. @70V68 Each device attached to the 70V68 IOC must have a valid WANG copyright. The SCSI IOC must occupy position (ID) 7 on the SCSI bus. If a disk device on the IOC is used as the system (IPL) volume, that disk device must be configured according to the default configuration. Users of 2259V1 streamers should be aware that while we guarantee default (high) density recording mode for tapes written from BOT, tapes appended to will be written at the tape's previously recorded density, be it low or high. This is due to the unit's upward compatibility with the manufacturer's earlier streamer, which we do not support. Although system IPL is functional from either of the supported RAID units (2277V1 and 2277V2), we do not recommend doing so. In the unlikely event that a reconstruct would be necessary, the system would have to be IPLed from a volume other than the volume requiring reconstruction. The RAIDSTAT utility will not function otherwise. The following restrictions exist if either of the supported RAID units' (2277V1 and 2277V2) location on the SCSI bus is Target x, Lun y, where y s greater than 0. 1) The volume's use as an IPL disk is not possible based on the description on page A-1 for the default configuration, as it applies to system IPL. 2) SYSCON's Easy IPL display (PF8) will never show the volume name. 3) VS/VM virtual SCSI support will be non-existant for volumes physically connected in this manner. @MCIPL@ @SYSVER@ must be run from the disk used to boot the system. With no cartridge (or an unformatted cartridge) in the 2288V1, 2288V2 or 2288V3 disk drive, it will not be listed on the IPL drive selection screen when attached to the RCU, it will be displayed as an Auto ID device when attached to an optional SCSI IOC. @MCRCU@ Workstation 0: The location of workstation zero is determined by switch settings on the RCU board. If workstation zero is an asynchronous workstation, the terminal must be configured to operate at a baud rate of 192000 bps, 1 stop bit, ODD Parity, and 8 data bits.

Inhibit logons and ensure that all users are logged off the system. 2. Logon to the system as a system administrator. 3. If a current backup of the system volume is not available, use the BACKUP utility to perform this backup now. 4. IPL your system from a disk other than your current system volume. 5. Run BACKUP to RESTORE the contents of the release media to the original System Volume. 7. IPL your system and run GENEDIT to modify the existing configuration file to include the new device. 8. Re-IPL with the new configuration file.
