BeforeC               you perform the installation, you must make sure that F               all prerequisite OpenVMS patch kits have been installed.E               You can find the list of prerequisite patch kits at the !               following location:   J               http://www.compaq.com/java/download/jdk_ovms/vmspatches.html           1.2 Problems  I               This section describes problems that currently exist in the .               Graphical Configuration Manager.  I                         Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes 1-1            5         Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes          1.2 Problems    B         1.2.1 DNS Name Server Required to Resolve TCP/IP Addresses  E               To resolve TCP/IP addresses, GCM servers require that a H               DNS name server be on the network. If there is no DNS nameG               server on the network, the GCM server appears to hang for C               an extended period of time before returning an error.   G               To avoid this error, define the addresses in the system's "               local host database.           1.2.2 Shutdown Sequence   F               If you select multiple instances as targets for a systemE               shutdown command, GCM may shutdown the instance hosting D               the client that issues the command before the shutdownI               command has been sent to all other instances. To avoid this G               problem, shut down the instance hosting the client with a +               separate, subsequent command.   A               This problem will be corrected in a future release.   2         1.2.3 Resequencing of Admin System Records  H               If a user with admin privilege modifies an existing systemE               record in an active association by adding or removing a E               system record, the resulting list of associated servers I               may differ from the active association, preventing you from E               maintaining the active association. To work around this H               problem, after you add, remove, or modify a system record,@               you should restart all servers in the association.  A               This problem will be corrected in a future release.   >         1.2.4 Saved Models Do Not Include the Full Association  G               The Save Model and Load Model functions apply only to the G               CPU assignments of the system hosting the client session, @               and do not include all systems in the association.  A               This problem will be corrected in a future release.   F         1.2.5 Inaccessible Attributes in Non_Clustered Soft Partitions  E               When soft partions are not clustered, a small number of D               instance parameters are unavailable, such as OperatingH               System Version, Galaxy Membership State, and Galaxy Member               Join Time.  A               This problem will be corrected in a future release.   9         1-2 Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes            I                             Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes I                                                              1.2 Problems     5         1.2.6 Apparent Hang in the OpenVMS GCM Client   F               It is possible to induce an apparent hang on the OpenVMSI               Graphical Configuration Manager (GCM) Client if you attempt G               to discover a non-existent server and then click anywhere G               on the GCM Window or Discovery dialog box. The GCM client D               appears to be hung and beeps when you click any of the2               buttons in the Discovery dialog box.  G               This occurs because the error message that indicates that E               no connection was made is buried beneath the GCM client                window.   D               You can expose the error message by pressing Alt+F3 toI               lower the GCM client window. You can then dismiss the error %               message by clicking OK.   =               This problem occurs on the OpenVMS client only.            1.3 Restrictions  F               This section describes restrictions that currently exist=               when using the Graphical Configuration Manager.   -         1.3.1 Windows Client Java Restriction   C               The Microsoft Windows GCM client will install only on B               systems that have Java Version 1.2.2 to Version 1.3.  &         1.3.2 No Multi-Monitor Support  @               Version 1.0 of the Graphical Configuration ManagerC               does not support Microsoft Windows 2000 multi-monitor I               configurations. This is because the Graphical Configuration B               Manager uses Java Version 1.2.2, while multi-monitorA               support requires Java Version 1.3 or higher. Compaq E               expects to remove this restriction in later versions of 2               the Graphical Configuration Manager.              I                         Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes 1-3            5         Graphical Configuration Manager Release Notes          1.3 Restrictions    <         1.3.3 Start OpenVMS Client In Installation Directory    B               You should start the OpenVMS Graphical ConfigurationC               Manager client from the same directory from which you A               installed the client. You should do this every time E               you start the client. This insures that any preferences E               that you set within the client are carried over between                sessions.   >         1.3.4 Set-Up Needed for Location of Browser on OpenVMS  B               The File menu's Open Library feature requires that aC               browser be installed on the client system in order to F               display documents from active instances. On OpenVMS, theE               file GCM_BROWSER.COM in the installed Client directory, A               SYS$COMMON:[GCM_CLIENT], must be edited so that the D               browser's logical name is assigned the fully qualifiedH               path and executable image name used to invoke the browser.               For example,  F                BROWSER := SYS$COMMON:[NETSCAPE.ALPHA]NETSCAPE-JAVA.EXE  >         1.3.5 Incorrect OpenVMS File Display on Windows Client    E               Certain OpenVMS file types may not display correctly on B               Microsoft Windows Clients due to the Windows defaultE               application used to process that file type. When adding H               .COM, .LOG and .TXT files on the Library tab of Edit AdminF               Database, set the Process As property to TEXT and not toC               DEFAULT. Additionally, change the default application F               for displaying .TXT files from Notepad to WordPad.
