New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console by John Spitzer & Jeff Bandle Commercial Systems Division Introduction The release of MPE on the PA-RISC N-Class and A-Class platforms demonstrates HP’s Commercial Systems Division’s commitment to supporting the new PCI based I/O architecture for HP e3000 platforms. The change to the PCI I/O architecture affects all devices that are connected to the system.
New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console console requests such as tape requests and spooler status messages. This is configured as ldev 20 on the system. • Remote console: This port provides a modem capable port for remote support access. This is the only port on the Core I/O card that supports a modem connection. It is not recommended for this port to be used for general user dial-in access. In most environments, this port is used to provide a remote connection for Predictive support.
New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console Console mirroring Users of the GSP are categorized with two sets of capabilities. A console Operator can use the system’s console, manage the system when a problem occurs (rebooting it, etc,...), diagnose system failures through GSP logs and allow a pre-configured remote console to connect. This is the usual set of capabilities required to operate and manage a system.
New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console Functionality Local, remote, UPS ports On the first three physical serial ports, you will see almost no difference in console functionality between the new PCI driver and the HP-PB (NIO) driver that is available on previous platforms. The driver supports the three serial ports for local console, remote modem port and the UPS port. Unsupported functionality There are two console features that are no longer supported on the N-class and A-class systems.
New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console Details of selected commands: Security Options (SO): This command is used to configure GSP users and passwords. The default configuration is no users are configured. All connections to the GSP have administrator capability. The first user configured is created as administrator. Once created, several console mirroring rules will come into play.

However, there have been no steps taken to preclude operation with other terminals.
New Networking MPE/iX A-Class and N-Class Console The serial ports on the Core I/O card are configured on the following I/O paths: 0/0/4/0.0 - console; Ldev 20 0/0/4/0.1 - remote session 0/0/4/0.2 – UPS device Modem protocols CCITT Mode – In this protocol the driver waits for RI before raising DTR. It also requires the modem to assert DSR, RTS and DCD before a connection is established.. Bell Mode - This is sometimes called Bell simple protocol. The driver raises DTR when it can accept a connection.
New Networking PCI WAN Sync MUX (Adapter Card and Driver) PCI WAN Sync MUX (Adapter Card and Driver) by Learning Products Team Commercial Systems Division The new class of HP e3000 systems has PCI-bus based hardware architecture. So new drivers must be developed to support new PCI-based peripheral devices, including a new WAN Sync MUX card.
New Networking PCI WAN Sync MUX (Adapter Card and Driver) The PCI WAN Sync MUX Add-on Adapter Card has the following features. • Multi-port card (8 ports) • Can support multiple WAN protocols such as HDLC-NRM(SDLC), HDLC-LAPB (AND x25), HDLC-LAP-D (ISDN), Frame Relay, etc. • “Intelligent” card with on-board memory and downloadable firmware. • Protocols will be running on the card. • Can support running of multiple protocols on different ports at the same time.
New Networking Multi-function core I/O card Multi-function core I/O card by Learning Products Team Commercial Systems Division The Core I/O card is a component installed in the N-Class and A-Class systems that contains all the I/O components necessary to configure a bootable system (not including disks and tapes drives and terminals).
New Networking Multi-function core I/O card connector. Path 0/0/2/0 (from the A5150A) is provided with a special HD 50-pin SE connector: this connector only supports an 8-bit data path so only “narrow” SCSI devices such as the DDS-3 Tapes may be connected. See the section titled PCI-SCSI Device Adapter Cards on HP e3000 N-Class and A-Class Systems for details on configuring and using these SCSI ports.
New Networking The PCI 100Base-T Link Product The PCI 100Base-T Link Product by Learning Products Team Commercial Systems Division Introduction The N-Class and A-Class HP e3000 systems have a PCI-bus based hardware architecture, so new drivers (link products) have been developed to support new PCI-based peripheral devices. This includes a new 100Base-T LAN adapter card.
New Networking The PCI 100Base-T Link Product Configuring PCI 100Base-T links As with HP-PB (NIO) 100Base-T Fast Ethernet, the 100Base-T links are configured in NMCONFIG using NMMGR. The NMMGR link configuration screen is for a generic 100Base-T link and can be used to configure 100Base-T on either HP-PB or PCI platforms. When the 100Base-T link is started via another network subsystem (e.g.
New Networking The PCI 100Base-T Link Product When choosing the number of LAN cards, the customer should be aware that use of the e3000 as a high-speed gateway between LAN networks is not supported. Crossover cable usage with DTC and PCI 100Base-T link The 10/100Base-TX link (add-on or Core I/O) in the N-Class and A-Class HP e3000 systems may be used to drive a single DTC in 10Base-T mode, via a crossover LAN cable.

The MAXPIN scaling algorithm has been around for several MPE/iX releases (originally introduced when MAXPIN was increased from 1559 to 3119 – Release 2.0 timeframe). When this algorithm was originally introduced, we supported several systems with VERY small minimum memory requirements. Many of these systems are now obsolete.

The output of :SHOWQ is also much more "column oriented" (compared to :SHOWPROC). In general, users are discouraged from making assumptions regarding specific column numbers in command output. Various CI functions have been added in MPE/iX to assist users in parsing output without relying on column (e.g. the "word" function).

Technical Articles Predictive Support Changes in MPE iX 7.0 Express 1 Predictive Support Changes in MPE iX 7.0 Express 1 By: Gary Robillard Commercial Systems Division R&D Product Overview The HP Predictive Support software (referred to as Predictive in the rest of this article) provides proactive hardware support and helps increase the uptime of your systems by monitoring system memory and disk/tape drives. When Predictive detects a potential problem, it sends a message to the HP Response Center.
Technical Articles Predictive Support Changes in MPE iX 7.0 Express 1 Predictive for MPE iX 7.0 Express I includes the following changes: • The Predictive version is B.70.02. • Predictive runs on 9x8, 9x9, 99x, A400, A500 and N4000 systems. Note that 9x7 systems are no longer supported on MPE iX 7.0, so they are not supported by Predictive. • Support for A and N class system memory. The sysdiag version of Predictive on the initial MPE iX 7.0 release disabled memory coverage on all A and N class systems.
Technical Articles Predictive Support Changes in MPE iX 7.0 Express 1 file will not need to be modified, and if the JPSMON.PRED.SYS job is already incorporated into existing processes for starting and stopping the network, etc., they will not need to be changed. A change that will be seen, is that the logon changes from: PSMON,MANAGER.SYS or PSMON,PREDMON.SYS to: PSMOND,PREDMON.SYS WARNING If JPSMON.PRED.SYS is not running, Predictive will not perform the Scheduled daily run to monitor your system.
Technical Articles Predictive Support Changes in MPE iX 7.0 Express 1 which does not have AM, SM or PM capability, for enhanced security. This was done because a job being streamed from the sysstart filemust have existing passwords for user, account and group embedded. The original logon was MANAGER.SYS, and it was perceived as a security violation to embed the MANAGER.SYS passwords. The install job will create the PREDMON user with OP,ND,SF,BA capabilities.

Technical Articles DCE to RPC 1.2.1 DCE to RPC 1.2.1 Commercial Systems Division DCE RPC is the software to implement the communication between the client and server of an application through the Remote Procedure call (RPC). RPC gives the users the ability to express an interaction between client and server of a distributed application as if it were a procedure call. RPC provides a high-level programming model to the distributed applications and hides networking communication details from the users.
Technical Articles DCE to RPC 1.2.1 running MPE/iX version 6.0 or later. RPC 1.2.1 comes with some dependent patches. These patches include a loader patch, a libc patch and the threads patch. The patch ID for the current release of RPC 1.2.1 on MPE/iX is FRIKXN7C. New Features in RPC/IDL 1.2.1 The following section lists the various new features in the RPC runtime library and IDL of RPC 1.2.1 that are available.
Technical Articles DCE to RPC 1.2.1 DCE-IDL Compiler for RPC1.2.1 Out-of-line marshalling (library based marshalling) Out-of-line marshalling causes constructed data types such as unions, pipes or large structures to be marshalled or unmarshalled by auxiliary routines, thus reducing the stub size. The out_of_line attribute directs the IDL compiler to place the marshalling and unmarshalling code in IDL auxiliary stub files, rather than in the direct flow of the stub code.

Technical Articles Pascal/iX has $VOLATILE_WITH Option Enhancement Pascal/iX has $VOLATILE_WITH Option Enhancement By James Overman Computer Systems Division The HP31502A.05.04 release of Pascal/iX has changes for processing of the $VOLATILE option results. The compiler will now flag as errors certain uses of volatile references that are questionable as to the user's desired meaning. The new error message will only be produced if a $VOLATILE variable is used in a WITH statement.
Technical Articles Pascal/iX has $VOLATILE_WITH Option Enhancement pointer to the top level record type is volatile. This is the safest alternative, at the cost of code efficiency. When a WITH statement is seen, the $VOLATILE_WITH level currently in effect will be applied to all WITH result pointers (temps) for that statement. Only the "top type" is checked, because it is unlikely that a user will want the temp volatility to be based on every level of the whole expression.
Technical Articles Pascal/iX has $VOLATILE_WITH Option Enhancement With these changes, the WITH temp is not reloaded on each reference, but all loads and stores into the record are present in the generated code since the pointed-to record is volatile. Another alternative is to remove the suspicious WITH expression from the WITH statement and expand all references in the WITH body.
Technical Articles Introducing the HotSpot Virtual Machine for Java Introducing the HotSpot Virtual Machine for Java by Mike Yawn, Commercial Systems Division The implementation of Java on the HP e3000 just got a lot faster thanks to the new technology included in the HotSpot Virtual Machine. The HotSpot VM is a completely compatible alternative to the Classic Java Virtual Machine.
Technical Articles Introducing the HotSpot Virtual Machine for Java The HotSpot versions of the same two files are located here: /usr/local/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/jvm.cfg With MPE/iX 7.0 Express 1, the Java SDK included is configured with classic as the default JVM. At some future release, probably based on SDK 1.3.1, we will change the default JVM to be the HotSpot JVM. Later still, probably in a release based on SDK 1.4, the Classic JVM will be dropped from the Java distribution.
Technical Articles Introducing the HotSpot Virtual Machine for Java typically used to exclude certain code from being compiled by the HotSpot compiler. The format of the file is: exclude classname methodname for example, exclude java/util/HashTable rehash HotSpot will write entries to this file if it encounters a method it is unable to compile, so that future invocations of the compiler won’t reattempt the compilation.

Technical Articles QUERY/iX Enhancements Respond to User Requests QUERY/iX Enhancements Respond to User Requests By James Overman Enterprise Support Services Organization R&D The newest release of QUERY/iX HP32216D.03.20 contains enhancements that were requested by customers thru the SIGIMAGE User's Group. These enhancements are • Progress Reporting Feature, • the VERBOSE and TERSE Commands, • the expanded SHOW command, • support of the Expanded TurboImage Limits, • and the Find-by-Record-Number option.
Technical Articles QUERY/iX Enhancements Respond to User Requests numbers (ddd above) may not always be contiguous, as some steps revert to a null operation due to various special cases in the MULTIFIND/JOIN logic. Thus a given step may have no progress messages. Also, in some cases the maximum number of steps (eee above) can not be determined at the start of the command; so, in a few cases, the final step value may be increased during the progress reporting as the additional steps are determined.
Technical Articles QUERY/iX Enhancements Respond to User Requests INDEXING = NONE LANGUAGE = NATIVE-3000 VERBOSE MESSAGES DISABLED.
