4.16.1.10 LANCP for Downline Load
V8.4
Cluster over IP requires LANCP, instead of DECnet for downline load since the
changes related to conguring cluster over IP and enabling cluster over IP is
available only with CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM. This restriction will be xed
in the future release of HP Clusters.
4.16.1.11 Duplex Mismatch
V8.4
A duplex mode mismatch or a change in duplex mode from half to full on the host
duplex can result in CLUEXIT when IP is used for cluster communication. It is
recommended to check for the duplex mismatch issues to avoid cluexit.
4.16.1.12 Conguring a Node During Upgrade
V8.4
If you are upgrading from prior versions to Version 8.4, you cannot enable Cluster
over IP. When upgrading it does not call CLUSTER_CONFIG[_LAN] procedure,
which is required for enabling Cluster over IP. Hence, the node joins the existing
cluster in which it is the member before upgrading.
For enabling Cluster over IP, you must call CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN procedure
explicitly after upgrading.
This restriction will be removed in a future release.
4.16.2 OpenVMS Cluster Support for Integrity VM

OpenVMS for Integrity servers Version 8.4 is supported as a guest operating
system on Integrity VM. OpenVMS guest can be congured in a cluster.
4.16.2.1 Cluster Interconnect for OpenVMS Guest
V8.4
OpenVMS guest can use both LAN or Cluster over IP (IPCI) to communicate with
other nodes in the cluster.
4.16.2.2 MSCP Support for Clusters in Integrity VM Environment
V8.4
MSCP is used to provide shared storage capability in cluster consisting of
OpenVMS guest systems.
4.16.2.3 Online Migration Support
