The SLS V2.8A and MDMS V2.8A SSB kits are now available.

Release Summary:

    V2.8A         Mandatory update which supersedes ECO kit
                  SLSE02028 and includes:

                    - SLS/MDMS support for Decnet-Plus (OSI) 

                    - RDF V4.1A which supports Decnet-Plus and
                      OpenVMS V7.0 and V7.1. 

                    - MDMS V2.8A support for OpenVMS V7.0
                        and 7.1.

		    - Full support for Multi-Tower (sometimes called
                      Multi-Cell) TL82x Libraries.

                    - SLS V2.8A has *not* been qualified for operation with
		      OpenVMS 7.0 or 7.1.  That support will be provided
		      in V2.9.

The V2.8A Release Notes describe several bug fixes contained
in this release.

3.26Kit access problems.TROOA::TROU48::DINELEYWed Feb 12 1997 15:5711
    Hello,
    
      Could somebody please check the kits in the 2.5/2.6/2.7 directories.
    I can not copy them and when I do a dir/siz=all  ####/0 for the size.
    
      Also are there PAKs available for these kits. This is for internal
    use only, but we Canadians can not access VTX PAK (does not except
    Canadian cost centres or locations).
    
    Thanks, Tim.

3.28SANITY::LEMONSAnd we thank you for your support.Mon Mar 03 1997 13:177
    Hi Marty
    
    Should we really be using the SLS V2.8A documentation for the SLS V2.9
    field test?
    
    Thanks!

3.29SLS V2.8A Guide to Ops is OK...COOKIE::MILLERSteve Miller--Storage Mgt. SoftwareTue Mar 04 1997 13:0515
>>    Should we really be using the SLS V2.8A documentation for the SLS V2.9
>>    field test?

    For now, yes.  I haven't updated the V2.8A doc'n yet for part numbers 
and versions.  The significant new information is in the release notes in
the FT1 directory for the kits.

    I'll announce updated doc'n files when they're ready, but there's no point
in killing too many trees.

    BTW:  The significant changes in doc'n will include a revised RDF chapter
(I'll ask for specific feedback) and possibly a single SLS/MDMS Installation 
Guide.  These efforts are aimed at better organizing existing information.

3.30SLS/MDMS 2.9 Beta FT2 now availableCOOKIE::MCCLELLANDMarty, SLS/MDMS EngineeringFri May 02 1997 14:07112
    

The SLS V2.9-FT2 and MDMS V2.9-FT2 kits are now available.

     Note:  The version identificaton (as shown by $STORAGE SHOW VERSION) 
            for this field test release is B2.9-2.
    
    
Summary of FT2 features:

    V2.9-FT2   All of the V2.8A features plus:
    
                    - SLS support of OpenVMS V7.1 (see info below
                      regarding non-support of V7.0).
    
                    - MDMS and SLS support of DECnet-Plus (OSI)
    
                    - Additional bug fixes for SLS and MDMS.


    
    Because of a problem in OpenVMS Version 7.0, SLS will not
    support OpenVMS Version 7.0 for either VAX or Alpha systems.
    
    The VMS problem was fixed in V7.1, but there is no equivalent
    workaround available for V7.0.
    
    The VMS problem had a serious impact on the technique used by SLS
    for error message notification. It was decided this would cause 
    confusion for SLS users and those who provide remedial support for 
    SLS customers. Therefore, the installation procedure will not allow
    you to install SLS on systems with OpenVMS Version 7.0.

***NOTE*** Installing the MDMS-only kits will remove SLS if SLS
was previously installed.  If you have SLS installed and want to
retain it, install the SLS/MDMS combined kits to upgrade to SLS
V2.9.  If you only want MDMS V2.9 (for ABS or HSM support),
install the MDMS-only kits.

Please read the release notes before attempting to install and use this
kit.  The release notes contain last minute documentation of known problems
and limitations of this release.
