Known problem and workaround
Problem:
Coexistence problems between SNAplus2 Release 7.x and SNAplus2 Release 5.x may occur in
a mixed Client/Server environment because SNAplus2 Release 5.x servers do not support Release
7.x systems.
Workaround:
If you are running an SNAplus2 Release 5.x Client/Server environment, and you install a new
system with SNAplus2 Release 7.x software, you must upgrade all of the SNAplus2 Release 5
systems to SNAplus2 R7.x to maintain compatibility.
For details on restrictions, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Upgrade Guide (J2740-90027).
