which packages can run simultaneously on a given node.
• Support for the IPv6 hostname address family for all cluster components, with some
restrictions.
• You can monitor subnets at the IP level, as well as the link level.
• You can make configuration changes while the cluster is running, particularly in regard to
the cluster lock, that were not allowed online in previous releases, or were restricted.

the package is running, and you can also make more changes to legacy packages online.
• You can preview the effects both of individual commands and of large-scale cluster changes.

that are not started.
