Beyond Security

Version 13.1.0

June 21, 2023

Enhancements

  • Added support for Windows 11.

  • Updated the IEEE802.11 (AP), IEEE802.11 (AP - Simple), IEEE802.11 (Subscriber), and IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple) modules to be compatible with Windows 10 or later.

  • Changed the error message for entering an invalid hostname or IP address on the Basic Configuration window to be easier to understand.

  • Added an enhancement to prompt a confirmation dialog when deleting a module's default buffer types.

  • Removed the IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple - UDP), CG4579 (Over PCAN) - Custom, and Running Speed and Cadence (Custom) modules.

    NOTE: If your projects use these modules, substitute them with the IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple), CG4579 (Over PCAN), and Running Speed and Cadence modules.
Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the source port for some tests was incorrect due to endian issues caused by the EDSAv2-406 TCPv4 and EDSAv3-406 TCPv4 modules.

  • Fixed an issue where the Simple Web Server module would stop responding when the default port number (80) was in use. The module now reports an error and allows you to change the port setting to an available number.

  • Fixed an issue where deleted module buffer types were still used to generate fuzzed data.

  • Fixed an issue where saving a project in the Console Client would repeatedly display the "Settings were saved successfully to" message.

IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for IBM i

Version 7.5 HA 5.3.2 SI83862 (plus Language PTFs)
Included in PTF Group SF99676 750 High Availability for IBM i - level 6

June 29, 2023

New Features

  • Greater flexibility and availability in Geographic Mirroring environments with multi-target Geographic Mirroring allowing replication between up to six nodes and simplified hardware upgrades with reduced impact on the production workload using multi-target Geographic Mirroring. Multi-target geographic mirroring introduces the following changes:

    • CFGGEOMIR features a new Target Node (TGTNODE) parameter for multi-target geographic mirroring. This parameter has a default value of *SELECT, with prompting for eligible nodes for the operation.

    • The Configure Geographic Mirroring command has been simplified to remove the synchronization priority (PRIORITY), suspend timeout (SSPTIMO), and tracking space (TRACKSPACE) parameters. These parameters are now configured automatically to the recommended values. Any existing CL programs that specified these parameters on the CFGGEOMIR command may require modification.

    • The simplified Start ASP Session (STRASPSSN) command no longer contains the delivery, suspend timeout (SSPTIMO), or priority parameters. After starting the session, these parameters can now be changed by issuing the Change ASP Session (CHGASPSSN) command with the *CHGATTR option. Any existing CL programs that specified these parameters on the STRASPSSN command may require modification.

    • The Change ASP Session (CHGASPSSN) command features a new target node (TGTNODE) parameter for multi-target geographic mirroring.

    • PowerHA now features the ability to change the amount of tracking space allocated on a per ASP copy basis. The tracking space parameter has been moved from the Change ASP Session (CHGASPSSN) command to the Change ASP Copy Description (CHGASPCPYD) command. Any existing CL programs that specified the TRACKSPACE parameter on the CHGASPSSN command may require modification.

    • Built-in node selection is now available when using the change session options on either Display ASP Session (DSPASPSSN) or through Work with ASP Copy Descriptions (WRKASPCPYD), in environments with multiple nodes.

    • New F10=Topology view on Display ASP Session (DSPASPSSN) for geographic mirroring gives a visual representation of geographic mirroring environments.

  • Increased agility and adaptability in Geographic Mirroring environments featuring the ability to change Geographic Mirroring parameters with minimal impact on the production workload. The following parameters can now be changed using the Change ASP Session (CHGASPSSN) command while the production copy is online:

    • transmission delivery

    • transmission compression

    • synchronization priority

    • suspend timeout

  • Geographic Mirroring environments feature the ability to detach and vary on suspended copies of the ISAP, simplifying recoverability.

Enhancements

  • The PowerHA web interface shows monitored resource details and attribute values.

  • DS8000 LUN-level switching now supports up to 32 host connections per cluster node.

  • The PowerHA web interface now includes an inactivity timeout of 30 minutes and a warning if the web interface is accessed via HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Fixes

  • The QYASRTVINF API now requires *IOSYSCFG authority for all operations. Any existing callers of this API may require *IOSYSCFG special authority if they did not previously have the authority.

  • Previously, PowerHA operations could hang if a user without access to QYASCHGDDD attempted to perform a PowerHA operation. PowerHA has been enhanced so that users no longer need access to either QYASCHGDDD or QYASRTVDDD.

  • Corrected an issue where in some instances, a CPFBBBD: Resource type *AUTL or *PRTDEV not valid, could occur during admin domain operations, including ADDCADMRE.

  • The help text for *ETHLIN resource on ADDCADMRE has been corrected to include the current list of attributes supported for *ETHLIN attributes. This updated help text is only available for language 2924.

  • Resolved an issue where the PowerHA web interface may not automatically refresh in instances where a page was loaded when clustering was inactive.

  • Resolved an issue where the PowerHA web interface may continually flash on the screen when a cluster, cluster node, admin domain, cluster resource group, or session contains certain special characters.

  • PowerHA has been enhanced to retry when 'Connection refused' is received when connecting to a SVC storage system.

  • Resolved issue where an incorrect DS8000 username or password can cause a hang during PowerHA operations.

  • Resolved issue during PowerHA install time where the CCSID of the inet.d configuration file is changed. PowerHA installs saved after application with this fix, such as during a full system save, or SAVLICPGM, will no longer have this issue. Installs from media without this PTF may still require corrective recovery.

NOTE: PTF updates require one or more associated language PTFs. To determine if additional languages you have installed in your environment require a requisite MRI PTF, consult the table of language PTFs in the release cover letter for SF99676.
