DESCRIPTION:

This Softpaq creates the OS/2 Support Software Diskettes
for Compaq Version 3.01 Rev A. For complete information 
on changes and enhancements to the OS/2 2.x Support 
Software diskette, see WHATSNEW.RDM on the generated 
diskettes.
 
NEW FEATURES AND UPDATES:

This section details the new features and problems fixed by the  
contents of the Compaq Support Software Diskette v3.01A for OS/2 
2.x or later. 

1. Compaq Array Configuration Utility for Win-OS/2

This utility is used to configure Disk Arrays and RAID volumes on 
SCSI drive storage systems connected to Compaq SMART-2, SMART-2/SL, 
SMART-2/DH, Fibre Channel Host and Remote Controllers. 

It provides an intelligent and user friendly way to configure and 
manage the above mentioned  array controllers. It provides facilities 
to easily expand or modify drives connected to the Array controllers. 
This utility also supports online configuration of drive arrays and 
RAID volumes.

2. Compaq Fibre Channel Controller Driver for OS/2

The Compaq Fibre Channel driver for OS/2, CPQFCAL.ADD v1.00 supports 
the Compaq Fibre Channel Storage Systems on OS/2. The Compaq Fibre 
Channel Storage System consists of Compaq Fibre Channel Host 
controller and Compaq Fibre Channel Array controller connected on a 
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL). 

3. Compaq Network Fault Tolerant Support for OS/2

Network Fault Tolerance is achieved on Compaq servers by configuring 
a redundant network controller that devotes itself to backing up the 
controller that is currently "operational" on the same Ethernet
segment. In the event of a network failure either due to a wire fault 
or an internal hardware failure, the backup controller takes over 
transparently. Sensing the failures and switching to the backup 
controller is done with the Compaq Fault Tolerant Feature.

4. Compaq Array Driver updates for OS/2
 
The Array driver, CPQARRAY.ADD v3.30 has been updated to
fix a potential hang problem on Compaq servers that support
the Integrated Management Log (IML).

The Array driver, CPQARRAY.ADD V3.30 has been updated to support 
Compaq Array Configuration Utility for Win-OS/2 Version 1.00.

5. Compaq IDE Driver updates for OS/2

The Compaq EIDE driver for OS/2, CPQEIDE.ADD v1.15 has been
updated to fix a potential 'Trap D' that occurs on an OS/2 Warp
system with more than 12 hard disk drives and Fixpak 32 (XR_W032).

The Compaq EIDE driver for OS/2, CPQEIDE.ADD v1.15 has been
updated to fix the below message appearing even if the
IBM1S506.ADD entry does not exist in CONFIG.SYS.

  "CPQEIDE : Unable to allocate resources. Driver will be unloaded.
  Please remove IBM1S506.ADD from CONFIG.SYS, if present."

The Compaq EIDE driver for OS/2, CPQEIDE.ADD v1.15 has been 
updated to fix a problem in reporting the Device Type to 
Compaq Insight Manager (CIM).

6. Compaq NetFlex-3 Driver for OS/2 update

The NetFlex-3 driver for OS/2, NETFLX3.OS2 v2.30  supports 
Network Fault Tolerance. Network Fault Tolerance is achieved on 
Compaq servers by configuring a redundant network controller that 
devotes itself to backing up the controller that is currently 
"operational" on the same ethernet segment. In the event of a network
failure either due to a wire fault or an internal hardware failure, 
the backup controller takes over transparently. Sensing the failures 
and switching to the backup controller is done by the NetFlex-3 
device driver. This feature is supported in both on Half & Full 
Duplex modes of operation. 

7. Compaq NetFlex-3 Driver for DOS updates

The NetFlex-3 driver for DOS, NETFLX3.DOS V1.75 has been updated to
fix a problem with the combination of IBM-LSP/Vines protocols.

The NetFlex-3 driver for DOS, NETFLX3.DOS V1.75 has been updated to
reduce the physical size of the driver (effective reduction of 
18,624 bytes).

8. Compaq Token Ring ISA Driver for OS/2 

CPQTRISA.OS2 v1.15 has been updated to fix a problem with file 
transferring  using the LAN services. 

9. Compaq Token Ring PCI Driver for OS/2

CPQTRPCI.OS2 v1.15, has been updated to fix the following problems:

- Inability to receive files of size greater than 1MB on a Deskpro 
6000. 

- Inability to initialize when the SPEED keyword in PROTOCOL.INI 
file was set to 4Mbps.

- Accepting of invalid values for the DISABLEFIFO keyword in 
PROTOCOL.INI without displaying error messages.

10. Compaq 3COM PCI Driver for OS/2 Update

TL3C3X9.OS2 v3.25, has been updated to fix the following problems:

- Inability to receive files of size greater than 1MB on a Deskpro 
6000. 

- Inability to initialize when the SPEED keyword in PROTOCOL.INI 
file was set to 4Mbps.

- Accepting of invalid values for the DISABLEFIFO keyword in 
PROTOCOL.INI without displaying error messages.

11. Compaq Token Ring ISA Driver for DOS 

CPQTRISA.DOS driver v1.07, has been updated to fix the following
problems:

- Unloading of the driver when a wrong keyword is entered in 
PROTOCOL.INI.

12. Compaq Token Ring PCI Driver for DOS
 
CPQTRPCI.DOS driver v1.07, has been updated to fix the following
problems:
 
- Trapping of the driver when receiving frames in an FTP session 
Windows for Workgroups environment.

- Unloading of the driver when a wrong keyword is entered in 
PROTOCOL.INI.
 
- Accepting out of range values for the keyword SPEED in 
PROTOCOL.INI.

13. Compaq BIOS-32 Driver for OS/2 update 

The Compaq BIOS-32 Driver, CPQB32.SYS v2.05 has been updated
to log IML events related to System Fatal Fault (SFF).
      
The Compaq BIOS-32 Driver, CPQB32.SYS v2.05 has been enhanced 
to prevent an NMI from getting generated when a PCI slot switch is 
toggled.

14. Compaq OS2APIC.PSD Driver for OS/2 update

The Compaq OS2APIC driver for OS/2, OS2APIC.PSD v2.60 has been
updated to support additional command line options.

15. Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver update for OS/2

The Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver for OS/2, CPQRIB.SYS v2.05 
has been updated to fix the following problem:

Inability to manage the OS/2 server from Compaq Insight Manager (CIM)
using a Compaq Remote Insight board with firmware Version 1.10 and
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
