======================================================================
VERSION/DATE: 2.1.0/2008-11-28


ENHANCEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Support for HP Openview Operations Manager 8.x

- Support for Solaris 10.

- Support for Solaris zones.

- Improved logging functionality. The details of each successful
  snmp trap is written to a historical logfile, one per trap host. 

- Added a script to perform reverse acknowledgement of Sun MC alarms
  in Openview (HALAdapterHPOpenview-ReverseAck.sh). Sun MC alarms
  can now be intelligently acknowledged from within HP OVO without
  having to manually craft snmp set commands or automatically 
  and immediately acknowledge all incoming events.
   
- Log an error to the system log when $ESDIR or $PADIR are undefined

- Added extra varbinds to the SNMP trap forwarded to HP Openview, 
  specifying the name of the EventAction rule that initiated adapter 
  script execution, a unique identifier for each Sun MC alarm, and
  the hostname and port number of the agent to which reverse 
  acknowledgement of alarms should be set.

- Added ability to specify multiple hostnames in the script arguments.  
  As a result, one row in EventAction can be used to integrate with
  multiple systems.

- Added support for Sun Management Center's Agent Update feature.

- Added support for HP Openview NNM 7.53.


BUG FIXES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- If an IP address is provided, the script now attempts to resolve it
  to a hostname, as the snmptrap command cannot handle IP addresses. 

- Documentation improvements.

- Fixed a bug that would cause non-default RMI ports to be parsed
  incorrectly or not at all.

- The varbinds eventOpenTime and eventCloseTime will now report
  the correct event open or close time rather than the time the
  event was processed by EventAction.  


UPGRADE STRATEGY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have customized your HALAdapterHPOpenView-trap.sh
  script, you will need to update the new version of this script with
  your customizations.

  Halcyon Monitoring Solutions will fully support the un-customized
  version of the trap script and at our discretion may attempt
  to help users with customized versions.

  If you have customized your trap script, take the following steps:

  1. Perform a diff of the original version of the
  HALAdapterHPOpenView-trap.sh script with the version currently
  installed in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/bin/HALEventAction, and note all
  of your changes.

  Note: If you have already run the install script
  and upgraded the adapter, the previously installed version of the
  trap script will be saved to the file:

  HALAdapterHPOpenView-trap.sh.before_[date]_at_[time]

  2. After installing the new version of the Adapter for
  HPOpenView, update the script appropriately with any changes you
  wish to keep, and resolve any conflicts.
