DESCRIPTION:

WHAT'S NEW FOR EFS 5.02:

     CHANGES FROM COMPAQ EFS 5.00 FOR SCO OpenServer 5.0:

     o Support was added for the Compaq system monitor program, cpqmon.

     o A patch was released for EFS 5.0.0 that corrected a problem with
       starting a NetFlex-2 controller if a NetFlex-3 controller was
       started first.  This patch has been included in EFS 5.0.2
     
     o A patch was released for EFS 5.0.0 that corrected a problem with
       the Compaq UPS losing model information at the Compaq Insight
       Manager console.  This patch is included in EFS 5.0.2.

     Compaq EFS 5.02 was developed specifically for SCO OpenServer Release
     5.0.  The product will not install on previous releases of SCO UNIX,
     e.g. 3.2v4 and earlier.  In addition, release of the Compaq EFS prior
     to version 5.0 will not install or function correctly under SCO
     OpenServer Release 5.0.


     KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

     o Remote installation, i.e. installation to or from a system over
       a network, is not supported in this release.
     
     o The  Disaster Recovery utility will not backup drives over 2GB
       in size.


     DEVICE DRIVERS IN EFS 5.02:

     A device driver is software that the operating system uses to set up
     and communicate with hardware devices.  EFS 5.02 provides support for
     the following Compaq specific hardware not supported in the base
     operating system:

     o Compaq NetFlex Controller Support.  The Compaq NetFlex
       Controller (cet) driver supports the family of Compaq NetFlex
       controllers under SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.
     
     o Compaq SCSI-2 Support.  Compaq SCSI-2 support includes drivers
       for the Integrated 32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controllers in the Compaq
       ProSignia and Compaq ProLiant Family of Servers. Support is also
       provided for  the following options cards:
	    Compaq 32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controller card
	    Compaq 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2/E Controller card
	    Compaq 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2/P Controller card
     
       SCSI-2 support also includes driver support for the Integrated
       SCSI-2 options port on the Compaq SystemPro/XL Server.
     
     o ProLiant Storage System Support.  The Compaq EFS 5.02 includes a
       driver to support the features of the ProLiant Storage System
       when connected to the Compaq 32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controller.
     
     o Compaq System Wellness Driver.  System Wellness features include
       hardware components that monitor system activity,  temperature
       conditions, fan operation, EISA bus utilization, and operation
       system up time. It also provides Automatic Server Recovery and
       Health Log Support for the Compaq  SystemPro/XL, Compaq
       ProLiant, and Compaq ProSignia Servers.
     
     o Boot-Time Loadable Driver (BTLD).  The Boot-Time Loadable Driver
       diskette is used when installing SCO OpenServer Release 5.0 on
       Compaq systems.
