Sue,

I'm pleased to announce that as of today, 24-Sep-2004, the
VMS732_HBMM-V0200 kit is available for download by OpenVMS 
customers.

This kit provides host-based minimerge capabilities for shadow sets that
consist of Fibre Channel or SCSI disks. Since this capability is
host-based, it can be used with any supported Fibre Channel or SCSI
disks. This feature enhances the already strong data availability and
disaster tolerance capabilities of OpenVMS in SAN and SCSI 
environments.

In addition, this kit delivers a number of new shadowing features,
improvements, and fixes, that will be of benefit to shadowing users 
even
if they don't plan to take advantage of the host-based minimerge
capability. The most notable of these is the ability to prioritize the
order in which shadow sets are selected for merge operations.

This kit includes a new manual that describes how to enable and use 
the
features provided by this kit. This kit also includes an update to the
online DCL help with information about the new DCL command qualifiers
introduced by this kit.

More information, including links to the kit, can be found in the "News
and Features" section of the HP OpenVMS web site.
