Version 6.1.1 includes new features such as additional supported hardware virtualization environments and a new internal reporting structure.
If you have z/OS servers that are running in 31–bit mode, you can run a script to convert all of your application servers to 64–bit mode. See Enabling 64–bit mode on all z/OS servers for more information.
You can use the equalCPUFactor custom property to tell to the dynamic workload manager (DWLM) how to equalize the performance of the servers in a dynamic cluster. See Dynamic cluster custom properties for more information.
You can use the deactivate.checkRoutingRules and uninstall.checkRoutingRules custom properties if you do not want the uninstallation or deactivation of an application edition to occur when routing policy work classes are still routing workload to the application edition. See Application edition manager custom properties for more information.
You can use the son.FailNeighborAfterLostkHeartbeats and son.NeighborHeartbeatPeriod custom properties to manage the intervals at which heartbeats are sent to neighbor processes. See Internal state reporting custom properties for more information.
You can use the destroyStatisticCacheDelay custom property to specify how long a delay occurs between when WebSphere Virtual Enterprise detects zero active sessions in the administrative console and when the statistic cache is destroyed. See Runtime operations custom properties for more information.
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.1 offers a new bulletin board service overly network (BBSON) that is independent of the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment high availability manager. See BBSON bulletin board for more information.
