EMC PowerPath - Change History

TKU July 2008

Identification and Versioning on the Unix platform

In TKU July 2008 an additional pattern was added to the module that enables identification of EMC PowerPath on the Unix (Solaris and Linux at this stage) platform.
Separate pattern was created due to the significant difference in the way the product is identified on the Windows and Unix platforms.

Windows platform patterns - update to package versioning

The algorithm used for package versioning in the Windows platform patterns (PowerPath Server and PowerPath Administration Service) has been updated to correspond to the algorithm now used in all patterns. The new algorithm prevents ECA Engine errors by ensuring that only packages with version information are considered.
