Title:  Fix CIM Agents Threshold Issues under SCO OpenServer 5.0
Version:  2.61
Language:  English

CATEGORY:  Software Solution/Servers

EFFECTIVE DATE:  01 June 1996

PRODUCTS AFFECTED:  Compaq Servers

OPERATING SYSTEM:  SCO OpenServer 5.0 or SCO OpenServer 5.0 from Compaq, 
including the Compaq Extended Feature Supplement (EFS) 5.03b

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:  Compaq Insight Management Agents Version 2.61 for 
SCO OpenServer 5.0

DESCRIPTION:
When thresholds are set on a server running Insight Management Agents 
Version 2.61 under SCO OpenServer 5.0, the customer may see incorrect 
detailed alarm values in the "Alarm Details" window of Compaq Insight 
Manager.  This could affect the "Current Value" and "Threshold Top" 
fields for "User Threshold - Rising Alarm".  
Also, the Insight Management SMUX peer on the SCO OpenServer 5.0 server 
could crash while delivering the alarm, causing the server to become 
unmanageable.

The Insight Management SMUX peer has been modified to correct both 
problems mentioned above.  Refer to the README.1ST file created in Step 3
below for the steps to replace the SMUX peer on your SCO OpenServer 5.0
server.

Compaq provided a snmpd patch from SCO with Insight Management Agents 
version 2.61 to correct problems in /etc/snmpd as distributed with 
SmartStart 2.50. This Softpaq will prompt you when the snmpd patch is 
needed on your server and, with your permission, apply the patch for you.
