1 Overview The AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX product is compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) standard. It is a high-speed serial communication multiple-port product. It combines various signals for transmission over a single channel, and provides intelligent communication functions to off-load CPU serial communication processing tasks. 1.1 What is new in this release? The HP AD278A and AD279A PCI Multiplexer version B.11.31.1307 release notes includes defect fixes.
2 Known problems, workarounds, and limitations A known problem and the associated workaround for the AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX products is as follows: Known problem The pmux_diag/pmux_stty loop back test might not respond, if a terminal is connected to a pci_mux1 port and the pmux_diag/pmux_stty loop back test is run from that terminal on the same pci_mux1 port.
NOTE: System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is the system administration tool for managing HP-UX 11i. SMH provides web-based systems management functionality, at-a-glance monitoring of system component health, and consolidated log viewing. SMH also provides Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs). 2.1 Defects fixed in this release Defect fixed in Web 1307 release for HP-UX 11.31 Table 3 AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX fix for HP-UX 11.

The system might panic with the following stack trace: B.11.31 • ttin+0x448 • ttpendin+0x1a0 • ttcontrol+0x150 • ttiocom+0x1fc • asp_ioctl+0x12b0 • spec_ioctl+0x90 • vno_ioctl+0xc8 • ioctl+0xe0 • syscall+0x22c • syscallinit+0x55c QXCR1000574112 1131PQSOLR: hang or HPMC while pos-OLR AD279 mux car in shared slot.
Table 5 AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX fixes for HP-UX 11.23 (continued) Defect ID Defect Description Release Version QXCR1001194093 The PCI_MUX1 MTNOACTIVITY timeout displays time in seconds instead of minutes. B.11.23.1202 This defect is fixed in the current release. Modified the code to ensure that the PCI_MUX1 MTNOACTIVITY time is displayed in minutes. QXCR1001143754 The fastcook option is enabled by default. B.11.23.1109 This is resolved in the current release.
2.4 Interoperability information and installation requirements This section provides information on interoperability, software, and hardware requirements for installing the current version of the AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX product on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3. Interoperability information The non-RoHS (A6748A/A6749A) adapters and RoHS (AD278A/AD279A) PCI MUX adapters can coexist on a system. The RoHS adapters cannot be connected to non-RoHS cables, connectors, or port modules.
• The kernel dynamically assigns the major number for the PCI MUX when you install the AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX driver. • This major number can differ from system to system. However, once a major number is assigned, it remains unchanged across reboots until the driver is removed. To find the major number, run the following command at the command prompt: $ lsdev -d pci_mux1 The name of the AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX adapter driver is pci_mux1.
