RS3: Software Release Notes for P1 R4.2
Software and Hardware Requirements
PeerWay Image Designation
A PeerWay Image Designation defines the collection of images running
together on a PeerWay. This is a subset of the images contained within
a software release.
A P1 PeerWay Image Designation is when all the images running
together on a PeerWay are P1 images only, from the same Software
Release. There can be no V18 images on the PeerWay with a P1
PeerWay Image Designation. Typically P1 images support the latest
technology.
A P1/V18 Combined PeerWay Image Designation is when one or more
of the images running together on a PeerWay is a V18 image from the
same P1 R4.x Software Release. Typically a V18 image is necessary to
support older RS3 hardware.
A V18 PeerWay Image Designation is when all the images running
together on a PeerWay are V18 images only, from the same Software
Release. The current software r elease for a V18 PeerWay Image
Designation is V18 R4.4 (English).
To better understand the ramifications of the PeerWay Image
Designation, refer to the RS3 Hardware Requirements for P1 R4.x.
RS3 Hardware Requirements for P1 R4.x
In order to understand the hardware requirements for P1 R4.x, it is
important to understand the types of nodes and the images to be used
within the various nodes at this software release.
The requirements for Software Release P1 R4.x have been split into the
following two sections:
D RS3 Hardware Requirements for a P1 PeerWay Image
Designation
D RS3 Hardware Requirements for a P1/V18 Combined PeerWay
Image Designation
RS3 Hardware Requirements for P1 PeerWay I m age
Designation
If all the nodes on a PeerWay are running P1 R4.x software release with
P1 images, that PeerWay is defined to have a P1 PeerWay Image
Designation. Table 2.1 below lists the supported and compatible
PeerWay Node Hardware Combinations for a P1 PeerWay Image
Designation.
