High Availability Monitors Version A.04.20.11.02, A.04.20.23.02, and A.04.20.31.02 Release Notes

EMS and EMS HA Monitors Patch Strategy
HA Monitors (B5736DA) and EMS Framework (EventMonitoring) are in support mode for all
releases of HP-UX 11i. There will be no patches for any release of HA Monitors. There will be
no new enhancements and features. Only defects with severity level above 8 or defects related
to security issues would be fixed.
As and when required HA Monitors will provide defect fixes via AR/OEUR media. In case of
critical defects in HA Monitors, that impair the system/dependent product functioning, the fix
will be made available via Web Release, which happens once every month. The fix will be made
available as an installable product upgrade and can be downloaded from the HP Software Depot
website at https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/
try.do?productNumber=EventMonitoring. Such fixes will be included in the HA Monitors product
on the AR/OEUR media at a minimum of once each year.
In the support mode the following is applicable:
• No new EMS Monitors will be developed. Customers are encouraged to develop WBEM
provider based monitors using the SysFaultMgmt framework rather than developing EMS
monitors.
• Monitoring for new platforms will be accomplished through WBEM based monitoring only
using the SysFaultMgmt Product.
• EMS Developers Kit will no longer be shipped with HP-UX 11i v3.
