3.0 Upgrading from Novell Privileged User Manager 2.2 to 2.2.2

To upgrade from Novell Privileged User Manager 2.2 to 2.2.2, you can download the packages from the Novell Customer Center or from Novell Downloads. Then you must add the packages to your Framework Manager and update your system with the Framework patch.You can then update the other packages.

For information about these tasks, see “Upgrading from 2.2 to 2.2.2” in the Novell Privileged User Manager Getting Started Guide.

To install new 2.2.2 agents, you need to download the ISO image from Novell Downloads or from the Novell Customer Center.

For information about the new features in this release, see “What’s New in 2.2.2”.

4.0 Modifications in 2.2.2

For list of new features, see “What’s New in 2.2.2” in the Novell Privileged User Manager Getting Started Guide.

The following issues have been fixed:

  • Fixed an issue with database schema of the Command Control Manager that caused transactions to fail on upgraded command control policy databases.

  • The Alerts screen now allows you to select and close alerts individually.

  • The sample Perl scripts for Command Control have been updated to make them more reflective of the current functionality. This includes an updated environment script.

  • Authentication request functionality has been added to the Command Control agent. This is used in conjunction with the updated sample Perl script that requests the users to enter their password for authentication. The old script references a module that is no longer supported. To import this new script, click Command Control > Import Samples > Sample Perl Scripts > Password Validation Scripts > Require Login Password.

  • You can now configure the Store and Forward module to slow the forwarding of its messages when the system is under high load from command control output. Perl scripts can be assigned to the command control rule structure that handles how the command control agent behaves when passing large amounts of data to the store and forward for the audit managers. For configuration information, see “Managing Low Disk Space”.

  • Fixed an issue that caused an agent to appear as undefined in the Hosts console. Agent names must use ASCII characters. When you upgrade to 2.2.2, any existing agent names with non-ASCII characters are renamed, and the non-ASCII characters are replaced with a question mark (?).

  • Modified the Add Package Menu options (Home > Package Manager > Add Packages) to reflect the currently supported platforms and components.

  • Fixed the udsh command so that it works correctly when using wildcard matching with the -g (group) option.
