 The reason it only lists several version of 3.2 is because when 7.1.6 came out there was only a 3.2 version of Digital UNIX. 7.1.6 will work fine on 4.0x but be sure to get the compatibility patch for 4.0x from Oracle if you will be using "svrmgrm" and/or raw devices. There is a seperate patch for 7.3.2.x for these same issues. Received on Mon May 05 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
