Release Notes

Read the Release Notes for all products included with this product. Portable Document Format (.pdf) versions of the Release Notes are included on the software disc in the storage_foundation_cluster_file_system/release_notes directory and on the documentation disc that came with your software.

Because product Release Notes are not installed by any packages, it is recommended that you copy them from the disc to the /opt/VRTS/docs directory on your system so that they are available for future reference.

Product licensing

Product keys are available on the License Key certificate. The certificate also includes the number of product licenses purchased. A single key enables product installation on the number and the type of systems for which you purchased the license. A key may enable the operation of more products than specified on the certificate, but you are legally limited to the number of product licenses purchased.

The VRTSvlic package executes Veritas product licensing. The following commands and their manual pages are available on the system after VRTSvlic is installed:

vxlicinst installs a license key for a Veritas product vxlicrep displays currently installed licenses

vxlictest retrieves features and their descriptions encoded in a license key

If you encounter problems while licensing your product, visit the Veritas licensing support website at http://www.veritas.com/buy/vLicense/vLicenseHome.jhtml.

Veritas products are installed under the /opt directory on the specified host systems. Verify that the directory /opt exists and has write permissions for root before starting the installation procedure. Do not make /opt a VxFS file system.

HP-UX specifications

Symantec HP-UX is a comprehensive security solution engineered to protect the HP-UX operating system, a variant of the UNIX OS developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). As a robust enterprise environment, HP-UX is widely used in mission-critical applications, particularly in industries such as finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Symantec’s integration with HP-UX enhances security, providing essential features that cater to the needs of large organizations.

One of the main features of Symantec HP-UX is its advanced threat protection capabilities. It employs a multi-layered approach to security, utilizing signature-based detection, behavior-based analysis, and heuristics to identify and mitigate known and unknown threats. This real-time protection minimizes the risk of malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt business operations.

In addition to threat protection, Symantec HP-UX includes robust data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. DLP technology helps organizations ensure that their confidential data remains secure by preventing unauthorized access and exfiltration. This feature is particularly important for compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA, as it aids in safeguarding customer information.

Another significant characteristic of Symantec HP-UX is its scalability. Designed to handle the demands of enterprise environments, the solution can be easily integrated with existing IT infrastructure while adapting to growing workloads. This functionality is essential for organizations that require flexible security measures to accommodate expansion or changes in business processes.

Security management and reporting are also key components of Symantec HP-UX. The solution provides centralized management tools that allow administrators to monitor security status, deploy updates, and manage policy across multiple systems from a single interface. These tools enhance visibility into security incidents and enable organizations to respond promptly to potential threats.

Moreover, Symantec HP-UX offers automated updates and patch management. Regular updates are crucial for maintaining a secure environment, and the solution ensures that systems are protected against the latest vulnerabilities without requiring extensive manual intervention.

In summary, Symantec HP-UX is a powerful security solution designed for the HP-UX operating system. Its main features include advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, scalability, centralized management, and automated updates. These characteristics make it a vital tool for organizations aiming to protect their data and maintain a secure operational environment in the face of evolving cyber threats.
