4 nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems What’s in This Chapter? This chapter describes changes to HP’s new high-performance HP-UX server environments.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Introduction Introduction Hewlett-Packard’s new nPartition (hard partition) servers provide highly configurable, high-performance HP-UX system environments.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i new at 11i original Superdome models differ with regard to the characteristics shown in Table 2-1.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Machine Identifier Machine Identifier updated for June 2001 The uname -i command on your nPartition systems may not return a unique value for each system. To guarantee compatibility on current and future platforms, use the new interfaces to getconf (1) and confstr (3C) to retrieve unique machine identifiers.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Hard Partition Hardware Path Format Hard Partition Hardware Path Format new at 11i original The HP-UX command ioscan reports the hardware paths for components within the release partition in which the command is issued. (Note that the ioscan command reports information only for the currently active hardware components in the local partition. It does not report details for hardware not assigned to the local partition.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems New and Modified Hard Partition Commands New and Modified Hard Partition Commands new at 11i original Several system administration commands are provided with HP-UX 11i for creating and release maintaining partitions on all nPartition systems. Additionally, the existing commands shutdown, reboot, and setboot have been modified to support nPartition platforms.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems New and Modified Hard Partition Commands In order to approximate the traditional behavior of setboot, the user input for the Autoboot and Autosearch flags is internally mapped to the right combination to achieve the desired behavior. This mapping should be transparent to the user of setboot, but it might not be so apparent to those accessing the firmware using other means.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) Partition Manager (parmgr) Partition Manager (parmgr), supports the initial and ongoing configuration of systems that support nPartitions, (such as Superdome systems), and also provides extensive information about the status of a Superdome complex. Partition Manager can be installed on any HP computer system that supports nPartitions, subject to the system requirements listed in “System Requirements” on page 62.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) NOTE For documentation about Partition Manager in previous releases of HP-UX 11i v1, see HP-UX 11i December 2002 Release Notes, available at http://docs.hp.com. Additional Information For detailed information about using Partition Manager, consult the online help installed from the PARMGR-HELP file set. Within Partition Manager, the help can be accessed through the Help menu on the tool bar.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Service Processor (GSP or MP) Service Processor (GSP or MP) Each of HP’s nPartition servers include a service processor that provides server-wide status, maintenance, and console interfaces. NOTE The service processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) and sometimes the Guardian Service Processor (GSP).
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems hd_fabric Driver hd_fabric Driver new at 11i original Although the HP-UX 11i install kernel does not include a /stand/system entry for the release new 11i driver, hd_fabric, an entry is added to the system file as part of the installation process on nPartition systems. When the /usr/sbin/mk_kernel command builds a kernel, the hd_fabric driver is then built into the HP-UX kernel. This only affects nPartition systems.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems New Attention Indicator Behavior New Attention Indicator Behavior updated for September 2001 The fruled command and Partition Manager now blink the attention indicators (LEDs) on HP Superdome cells and I/O chassis rather than illuminating them in a steady-on state, as was the case with the original 11i release. Likewise, on HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, the fruled command and Partition Manager behaviors are to blink cell attention indicators.
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems New Attention Indicator Behavior However, it wasn’t until the HP-UX 11i June 2001 release that SAM and Partition Manager started to blink PCI slot attention indicators during tasks involving PCI cards or card slots.

Installation Software Distributor (SD-UX) Software Distributor (SD-UX) new at 11i original release Many changes have been implemented in Software Distributor since 11.0. The following sections detail the changes. (For additional Software Distributor information, see also Chapter 12.) Multiple Target Management Capabilities Enabled As part of the Servicecontrol Manager integration, capabilities previously only available through the OpenView Software Distributor version of SD-UX have been enabled.
Installation Software Distributor (SD-UX) CD Searched For Only When Requested With the release of 11.0, SD-UX introduced the automatic discovery and mounting of a CD However, SD-UX always looked for the CD even if that was not what was wanted. This made the start-up of the GUI slower than necessary. While the functionality is still available in the GUI, SD-UX now only performs this action when you push a new button in the Source Dialog called “Find Local CD.
Installation Software Distributor (SD-UX) As a result of this, the -x layout_version option should no longer be needed except when creating a depot that is to be in layout version 0.8 format. Then the -x layout_version=0.8 option is needed for the swpackage and/or swcopy commands used to initially create the depot. (By default, SD-UX commands that create depots will create them in layout version 1.0 format.
Installation Software Distributor (SD-UX) New Environment Variable, SW_COMPATIBLE, Created A new environment variable, SW_COMPATIBLE, has been created for use during the execution of a verify script that is called by the swverify command. If the software being considered is compatible with the system it is installed on, the variable will be set to TRUE. If it is incompatible, it will be set to FALSE.

General System Administration and Performance Monitoring The uname Command Outputs B.11.11 The uname Command Outputs B.11.11 new at 11i original release The uname command for identifying the version of HP-UX that your system is running will return the following version name on an 11i system: B.11.11 To guarantee compatibility on current and future platforms, you can use the new interfaces to getconf and confstr to retrieve unique machine identifiers.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring New Option for top New Option for top A new -h option to the top command is provided to suppress the individual CPU state information for multiprocessor systems. If the -h option is specified, only the average of all CPU activities will be displayed. The change enables top to display more processes on a standard (80x24) screen without the screen being dominated by state information of individual CPUs.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) The /usr/sbin/sam command starts a menu-driven System Administration Manager (SAM) program that makes it easy to perform system administration tasks with only limited, specialized knowledge of the HP-UX operating system.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) immediately if the tunable is dynamic. In applying tuned sets, the entire tuned set will take effect immediately if every tunable in the set is dynamic. Otherwise, the tuned set won't take effect until the kernel is rebuilt and the system is rebooted. • Added support for kernel logging. Kernel logging is a new feature for 11i.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) Peripheral Devices updated for March 2003 • The HP-UX iSCSI (SCSI over TCP/IP) Software Driver is now supported by SAM. With SAM, system administrators can add/remove iSCSI drivers from the kernel and can manage storage accessible by the iSCSI Software Driver.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) • In the Tape Devices and Backup and Recovery areas, added support for the following new tape drives: — HP C7145/C7146 Autochangers — HP Surestore SDKT 220 tape drive • Added device support for PCI multiplexer in Terminals and Modems area.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Changes to System Administration Manager (SAM) • The Routine Tasks area • Backup and Recover - The fbackup and frecover commands will still be available from the command line.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring syslog File Logging Changes for su and login syslog File Logging Changes for su and login new at 11i original release This change will only affect you if you write or use programs or scripts that parse the syslog file. The format of text messages logged in the syslog file by the su and login commands has changed slightly. Specifically, su events are now preceded by ‘su:’ and login events are now preceded by ‘login:’.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Process Resource Manager (PRM) Disk Bandwidth Control Process Resource Manager (PRM) Disk Bandwidth Control This release allows Process Resource Manager (PRM) to report and control disk I/O bandwidth per LVM device and VxVM device. (VxVM is the VERITAS Volume Manager.) Based on user-configured priorities, PRM will reorder LVM or VxVM disk queues to enforce the percentage of disk bandwidth a PRM group receives in an I/O-constrained environment.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring HP Distributed Print Service Deprecated HP Distributed Print Service Deprecated new at 11i original release The HP Distributed Print Service (HPDPS) print environment is being deprecated at 11i and will be removed in a future release. HPDPS, however, will continue to be supported for HP-UX 11.0 and 10.20 until further notice. Four options are available for print services in 11i: 1. the LP spooler, which is part of the HP-UX operating system 2.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Diagnostics: EMS Hardware Monitors Diagnostics: EMS Hardware Monitors The Event Monitoring System (EMS) Hardware Monitors allow you to monitor the operation of a wide variety of hardware products. When monitors encounter failure or other unusual events, they generate messages with Description, Cause, and Action statements which can be used to prevent and reduce downtime caused by hardware failures.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring Improved ioscan Description Field for PCI Devices Improved ioscan Description Field for PCI Devices The ioscan command displays I/O devices, memory modules, and CPUs in a tabular form for users. Previously, PCI interface cards were listed in the ioscan output by cryptic values in the ioscan description field. These values have been replaced by PCI device header fields which provide a clearer description for most (common) devices.
General System Administration and Performance Monitoring On Demand Solutions On Demand Solutions Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and Pay Per Use (PPU) The iCOD and PPU software products are a part of the HP On Demand Solutions program. The iCOD product is a purchase model in which processor capacity can be instantly increased to accommodate increasing demands. PPU is a lease model in which customers are charged only for actual processor usage.
10 Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters What’s in This Chapter? This chapter covers the following topics: • HP-UX Gang Scheduling (see page 202) • Kernel Threads vs.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters HP-UX Gang Scheduling HP-UX Gang Scheduling new at 11i original release This release includes the ability to “gang schedule” MPI (Message Passing Interface) applications and multi-threaded processes. The gang scheduler permits a set of MPI processes, or multiple threads from a single process, to be scheduled concurrently as a group. Only applications using the HP-UX 11.0 (or later) MPI or pthread libraries can be gang scheduled.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Kernel Threads vs. CMA Threads Kernel Threads vs. CMA Threads new at 11i original release The CMA threads (libcma) package, which is POSIX P1003.1a (Draft 4) compliant, is based on Concert Multi Thread Architecture (CMA). CMA is a user-level threads package in which thread scheduling and synchronization are handled within the user space without the kernel's assistance. CMA threads have been deprecated (slated for future obsolescence) at HP-UX 11i.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Large Private Data Space Large Private Data Space new at 11i original release An additional 1 to 2GB of private address space is now supported for 32-bit programs (if enabled on a per process basis), at the expense of shared memory address space. This change increases the amount of private data space available for a process.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Large Private Data Space advantage of the new malloc() for a program that uses a shared version of the C library. A program that was linked with a non-shared library version of the C library, however, will need to be re-linked. These changes have no compatibility impacts if the feature is not enabled. This feature can only be enabled for 32-bit programs running on the 64-bit version of HP-UX.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Memory Windows Memory Windows Running without memory windows, HP-UX has limitations for shared resources on 32-bit applications. All applications in the system are limited to a total of 1.75GB of shared memory (2.75GB if compiled as SHMEM_MAGIC). In a system with 16GB of physical memory, only 1.75 can be used for shared resources.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Memory Windows To enable memory windows, set the kernel tunable parameter max_mem_window to the desired amount. Customers can change this value by placing the desired value in their kernel configuration file. The system must be rebooted for the new value to take effect.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters HP-UX SCA Process and Memory Management HP-UX SCA Process and Memory Management new at 11i original release For compatibility reasons, the HP-UX 11i release supports the Scalable Computing Architecture (SCA) programming, locality management, and memory management features that were introduced at HP-UX 11.10 for the HP V-Class SCA servers.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Dynamic Tunables Dynamic Tunables new at 11i original release A new facility has been added which will allow the retrieving of all tunable values and the setting of a limited number of tunables. If a tunable is dynamic, a change will take place immediately, without the need to reboot the system. Such changes will persist across reboots.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Asynchronous Disk Pseudo Driver (async) Compatibility Asynchronous Disk Pseudo Driver (async) Compatibility new at 11i original release The async driver is used mostly by databases for doing asynchronous I/O to the disk. Applications that use the async driver must be owned by the superuser, or by a user who is a member of a group for which the privileges include MLOCK.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters System-V InterProcess Communications (IPC) System-V InterProcess Communications (IPC) System-V IPC Message Queue Enhancement new at 11i original release System-V IPC is the System-V InterProcess Communications package developed by AT&T and comprises mechanisms for arbitrary processes to send and receive data “messages,” share virtual address space, and use semaphores to synchronize execution. This enhancement applies only to the message subsystem.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters System-V InterProcess Communications (IPC) operate properly even with larger queues. Even some of those programs which do use the fields may do so in such a manner that the inaccuracy does not adversly affect program behavior. These concerns arise only for separately-built binaries which share common message queues.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters System-V InterProcess Communications (IPC) Compatibility Issues The change from a hard-coded SEMMSL to a dynamic tunable is transparent to applications. In releases prior to 11i, a “SEMMSL” symbol was hardcoded to 2048 in sys/sem.h. This symbol will no longer always be an accurate representation of the maximum number of semaphores in a set. Uses of the symbol in programs should be removed.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters SCSI Queue Depth Management SCSI Queue Depth Management new at 11i original release If you have multiple active paths to a SCSI device (LUN), you might need to manage your device queue depths to maximize the device’s performance. This is particularly true with dynamic multi-pathing applications—such as EMC’s PowerPath application—which allow all multiple paths to a LUN to be in use simultaneously.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters Changes to mpctl() System Call Changes to mpctl() System Call new at 11i original release Some extensions have made to the mpctl() system call interface to pre-enable processor set functionality in the HP-UX 11i release. The mpctl() interface provides command requests to query system information, such as the total number of processors and locality domains in the system, and the IDs of all processors and locality domains.

Internet and Networking Services IPv6 Available on Software Pack IPv6 Available on Software Pack What is IPv6? new for December 2001 Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new generation of the Internet Protocol that is beginning to be adopted by the Internet community. IPv6 is also referred to as “IPng” (IP next generation). It provides the infrastructure for the next wave of Internet devices, such as PDAs, mobile phones, and appliances.
Internet and Networking Services IPv6 Available on Software Pack ifconfig netstat ping route ndd traceroute ndp (a new IPv6-only utility for neighbor-discovery; ndp is similar to the arp utility used with IPv4) • Support in /etc/hosts for both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses. Look-up policies for IPv6 are identical to those of IPv4. • IPv6 Name/Address Resolution for Name Service Switch: new entry (ipnodes) in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Internet and Networking Services IPv6 Available on Software Pack Where to Find Information The following customer documentation is available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com. Note that these documents were written for an independent Software Depot release. The information in these documents still applies; however the “Installation” details are written for a Web download only.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services Base HP-UX Internet Services NOTE Although HP-UX 11i includes Sendmail 8.9.3, BIND 8.1.2, and WU-FTPD 2.4, you can download the following new versions of these products from HP’s software depot at http://www.software.hp.com under “internet & security solutions”: Sendmail 8.11.1, BIND 9.2.0, and WU-FTPD 2.6.1. The release notes for these versions are available at http://www.docs.hp.com under “Networking and Communications.” Sendmail-8.9.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services PrivacyOptions=noverb The noverb flag will disable the SMTP VERB command, turning off the verbose mode. • Support for new mailer and map class: Mailer: discard A special internal delivery agent named discard is now defined for use with check_* rulesets and header checking rulesets. Map class: regex Sendmail-8.9.3 supports regular expressions using the new map class regex.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services New Configuration File The BIND configuration file is now named.conf, with many more configurable variables than in previous releases of BIND. (The configuration file in previous versions of BIND was named.boot.) There are now entirely new areas of configuration, such as, access control lists and categorized logging. Many options that previously applied to all zones can now be used selectively.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services You can take advantage of using an authentication mechanism of your choice like DCE Integrated Login, UNIX, or Kerberos by making a change in the /etc/pam.conf file. By default, if you do not edit the /etc/pam.conf file, the rexec and the remsh services will use the authentication mechanism specified by the OTHER directive in the /etc/pam.conf file.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services To enable the DHCP server to perform updates to the DDNS, you need to add a new tag, ddns-address. The following is a sample of a DHCP_DEVICE_GROUP entry that includes the ddns-address tag and the pcsn tag: DHCP_DEVICE_GROUP:\ ba:\ pcsn:\ class-name=SUBNET_128_XTERMINAL_GROUP:\ class-id=”xterminal:”\ subnet-mask=255.255.255.0 :\ addr-pool-start-address= 15.14.128.1 :\ addr-pool-last-address= 15.14.128.254 :\ ddns-address=1.2.3.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport Network Transport new at 11i original release Network Transport includes ifconfig, ndd, netstat, virtual IP address, setsockopt, and t_optmgmt. All are discussed in more detail below. ifconfig The ifconfig subnet mask default now allows all 1’s or all 0’s in the masked part of the subnet field. (The subnet field is that portion of an IP address that identifies the subnet beyond the network portion of the address.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport Specific Changes 1. All 1’s or all 0’s are now allowed in masked bits of subnet address: ip_check_subnet_addr shows whether or not that RFC1122 or RFC1878 enforces the network subnet mask. If it is a 0 (zero), then the RFC1122 behavior is seen. If it is a 1 (one), then RFC1812 is seen. The default is now RFC1812 behavior. (See ifconfig in the preceding section for more information.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport Supported parameter values are as follows: 2 Use Timestamps option if initiated by the remote system 1 Always try to initiate the use of Timestamps option 0 Never use Timestamps option 5. With the enablement of socket caching, tcp_conn_strategy can now increase performance by setting how many cached socket structures the system keeps. The default value of 0 (zero) disables the feature. A value between 1 and 512 sets a minimum of 512.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport Beginning at HP-UX 11i, netstat -I displays statistics accumulated since the last system reboot. This matches netstat -I output for HP-UX releases 10.20 and earlier. Compatibility Issues There could be some compatibility problems with scripts where they look for the “Use” field.
Internet and Networking Services New Versions of FTPD New Versions of FTPD new at 11i original release This release contains a new version of FTPD, which replaces the legacy FTPD. In addition to supporting the FTP protocol defined in RFC 959, the following new features are provided: • Logging of transfers. • Logging of commands. • On-the-fly compression and archiving. • Classification of users by type and location. • Per-directory upload permissions. • Restricted guest accounts.
Internet and Networking Services New Versions of FTPD Table 12-2 New Commands (Continued) /usr/bin/ftprestart Table 12-3 Removes the shutdown message file created by the ftpshut utility. New Configuration Files /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess The primary configuration file defining the operation of the new FTP daemon. /etc/ftpd/ftpconversions Defines options for compression/decompression and tar/un-tar operations.
Internet and Networking Services Changes to rwhod Changes to rwhod updated for December 2001 The rwhod daemon now accepts hostnames with supported characters as per RFC 952 only. The supported characters include letters, digits, and the hyphen (-) sign. Hostnames with invalid characters, such as underscores, are now ignored by the rwhod daemon. For more information on RFC952, please see http://ietf.org.
Internet and Networking Services STREAMS/UX STREAMS/UX new at 11i original release Several enhancements have been made to STREAMS/UX, including support for the select() system call, an I/O forwarding mechanism, and Function Registering: • The select() system call for STREAMS/UX devices examines the files or devices associated with the file descriptors specified by the bitmasks, readfds, writefds, and exceptfds.
Internet and Networking Services Low Bandwidth X Extension (LBX) Low Bandwidth X Extension (LBX) The Low Bandwidth X extension (LBX) uses several compression and local caching techniques to improve performance on wide-area networks and on slower speed connections. These techniques reduce the amount of protocol data transported over the network and reduce the number of client-to-server round trips required for common application startup operations.
Internet and Networking Services Low Bandwidth X Extension (LBX) The xrx helper program has been added to the /usr/bin/X11 directory. End users must set up their Web browsers to use this program for files with the rx extension. 2. libxrx.6.3 (the Netscape plug-in) The Netscape plug-in, libxrx.6.3, has been added to the /usr/lib/X11R6 directory. End users must copy this to their $(HOME)/.netscape/plugins directory (or the equivalent) so that files with the rx extension are interpreted correctly.
Internet and Networking Services Low Bandwidth X Extension (LBX) graphics displays can be achieved than otherwise would be possible with a single system with multiple graphics cards. SLS/d provides the X Window system support for part of the 3-D Visualize Center products. SLS/d involves a low-level change in the X server that unites several distributed graphics displays into a logical X Window system. The only user-visible changes are related to system configuration.

HIDS is available in the Operating Environments as a selectable product. For more information, see “HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)” on page 147.
Security Generic Security Services for Developing Secure Applications Generic Security Services for Developing Secure Applications new at 11i original release The Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS API) is a newly introduced product for HP-UX 11i. It contains all the GSS APIs as per RFC 2743 and is implemented as C programming language interfaces as defined in the RFC 2744, “Generic Security Service API: C-bindings.
Security Generic Security Services for Developing Secure Applications Size Requirements A minimum of 32MB RAM and 1.5MB hard disk space will be required for installation and usage of the product on HP-UX 11i systems. Compatibility The libgss.sl library has been tested with the Kerberos V5 backend mechanism library (/usr/lib/gss/libgssapi_krb5.sl) and is fully compatible. This library is in the KRB5-Client Software. See the next section for more information.
Security Execute Protected Stacks Execute Protected Stacks new at 11i original release System security can be improved by enabling a new feature that execute protected program stacks. A common method of breaking into systems is by maliciously overflowing buffers on a program's stack. Malicious unprivileged users often use this method to trick a privileged program into starting a superuser shell for them, or similar unauthorized actions.
Security Execute Protected Stacks IMPORTANT Warning to Java Users Disabling stack execution will cause Java 1.2 programs to fail if using JDK/JRE 1.2.2 versions older than 1.2.2.06. To determine the Java version you are using, assuming that java is in your PATH, run java -version. To download the latest version of the JDK/JRE, see http://www.hp.com/go/java. To allow pre-1.2.2.06 programs to run, the executable from stack attribute of the program must be set to enable.
Security Auditing Commands/System to be Updated Auditing Commands/System to be Updated HP-UX auditing system will be updated to work in both standard and trusted modes in a future release. The audit trail will be in a different format. The output of the audisp (1M) command would also be simplified to allow parsing by automated tools.
Security Configurable Security Features Configurable Security Features new at 11i original release Administrators now have a new convenient way to customize security features. A new /etc/default/security file is defined. Editing this file provides a way to configure new security features or to modify the behavior of existing security features.
Security Password History Feature on Trusted Systems Password History Feature on Trusted Systems Password history is a new trusted-system feature of the passwd command, used to discourage users from re-using previously used passwords.
Security Kerberos Client Software Kerberos Client Software new at 11i original release Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. Kerberos Client Software, now provided with HP-UX 11i, enables integrating HP-UX into a secure enterprise environment. It provides tools and libraries to perform authentication and secure communication. The Kerberos protocol is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.

Security HP-UX Kerberos Server Version 2.0 HP-UX Kerberos Server Version 2.0 updated for June 2002 As of June 2002, HP-UX Kerberos Server 2.0 is available on the Application Release CD. The current version of the Kerberos server supersedes the earlier MIT based Kerberos server (version 1.0), on HP-UX 11i. This version of the Kerberos server offers many enhancements when compared to the previous version. This section discusses the salient features of HP's Kerberos server V 2.0.
Security HP-UX Kerberos Server Version 2.0 High Availability In the event of the primary server crashing or going down, the secondary server (backup) can immediately be made the primary server. This provides for high availability in the case of mission critical applications. Also, the Kerberos server daemon (kdcd) is always monitored by a parent process. If the child process dies/crashes it will automatically spawn a new server daemon. Propagation In the Kerberos Server version 1.

14 Compatibility What’s in This Chapter? This chapter describes various compatibility issues between HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. • Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i (see page 266) • Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.
Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Hewlett-Packard has a long record of providing HP-UX compatibility. Because it protects your investment and allows you to upgrade easily, compatibility is an important feature that HP has always recognized and that HP customers have come to expect. Compatibility requirements span across HP-UX products to third-party products as well.
Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i NOTE • Does not use documented features that are specifically described as having platform, architecture, or configuration limitations • Does not decompose an HP-UX product and then reuse the results of the decomposition For compatibility issues relevant to a particular component, see the corresponding section elsewhere in this document. Binary Compatibility An application that has run on HP-UX 11.
Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • Archive and shared relocatable object compatibility: An executable that is created by linking with a shared library that has dependencies on an archive library (a situation that typically occurs when linking with archive system libraries) is not supported. • Data model relocatable object compatibility: An executable created by linking with a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit objects is not supported. The loader will not permit this.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i In the following sections, a short description of an 11i change is followed by details of the compatibility exception with which it is associated. Please note that all of these compatibility exceptions are rare corner cases for well-behaved applications.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i have to use HP_LD_FDP_INIT_NS instead. If the HP_LD_FDP_INIT_NS environment variable is not set and fdp_init_ns.o is in the default location, the link will fail with the file not found error message. • ONC+/NFS Security Correction This change corrects a security problem in NIS+. However, applications that are linked to the archived version of the libnsl library may have a compatibility problem.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • MAX_PROCS Changed to Enable 128 CPU Support This change enables support for 128 CPUs. The kernel macro MAX_PROCS has changed from 32 to 128 in the LP64 kernel and has changed the ABI for the undocumented system calls ki_call() and ktest_ioctl(). The MAX_PROCS change will cause an ABI incompatibility for kernel-intrusive applications or drivers which access internal kernel arrays sized by the MAX_PROCS macro.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • Support Tools Manager User Interface, EMS Hardware Monitors This change improves the usability for the STM User Interface and the EMS Hardware Monitors. As a result, any script that depends on the specific output of the EMS Hardware Monitors or specific commands or displays in the STM User Interface may have to be modified. See “HP-UX Support Tools (Diagnostics): STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors” on page 110 for more information.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • Tighter Security for NFS Mounts This change is necessary to improve the security of NFS mounts. Without this change, when you export a file system using the root= option of exportfs, NFS-clients on the root= option are allowed to mount the NFS file system even when they don't appear on the rw= list and/or access= list.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • SD Changes Behavior with Unknown Attributes This change allows packagers to use new attributes in their software packages without requiring SD to know the attribute. Specifically, the swpackage program will no longer print error messages when an unrecognized attribute is encountered. However, you must be careful when naming attributes because typographical errors will no longer be reported.
Compatibility Obsolescence and Deprecation of APIs Obsolescence and Deprecation of APIs This section defines the obsolescence of core system libraries and relocatable objects. Obsolescence of other products are covered in separate sections.
Compatibility Obsolescence and Deprecation of APIs Obsolete: An obsolete interface may have the following characteristics: • • • • • functionality is no longer available on the system runtime support is undefined cannot develop or build with this interface documentation is not provided or recommends against usage the final stage of the product life cycle has been reached The reasons for marking an interface as obsolete may include the following: • • • underlying infrastructure in either the software or h
Compatibility Obsolescence and Deprecation of APIs • libcma PA applications will continue to run on future releases of HP-UX, including those supporting Intel Itanium, via compatibility mode. • Applications using libcma should start migrating to POSIX threads (libpthread). • Where the libcma development environment is still available, libcma applications can maintain their existing development environment on 11.0 to 11i in order to continue to make application defect repairs.

Programming HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK) HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK) The HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK) aids in transitioning your software from HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 to HP-UX 11i, from 32-bit to 64-bit, and from PA platforms to Itanium-based platforms. To do this, many tools are available to help you resolve issues such as those involving data models and API changes.
Programming Libraries Libraries aC++ Runtime (libCsup*, libstd*, libstream*, librwtool*) The aC++ runtime provides the run-time environment necessary for deploying C++ based (aC++ compiled) applications on HP-UX 11i. new at 11i original release This release of the aC++ runtime includes a new ANSI-compliant Standard C++ library. (The previous version of the runtime included the “classic” C++ STL library that corresponded to the pre-standard [Sept. 1998] definition of the C++ language and library.
Programming Libraries Documentation Detailed manpages for the new library are included with the Independent Software Unit release. The new library is also discussed in aC++ Online Help. Changes to libc • Large Files Support for C++ Applications To support large files for C++ applications, libc has been modified. C++ applications can now access files greater than 2 GB. This is done by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 in 32-bit mode. More details can be found in the HP-UX Large Files White Paper Version 1.
Programming Libraries where the number of arenas is 8, and the expansion size is 32*4096 bytes. In general, the more arenas you use, the smaller the expansion factor should be, and vice versa. _M_SBA_OPTS turns on the small block allocator, and sets up parameters for the small block allocator, namely, maxfast, grain, num_smallblocks. Refer to mallopt() for details about the small block allocator, and its parameters. Applications usually run faster with the small block allocator turned on rather than off.
Programming Libraries Two new libraries are added: /usr/lib/libcres.a and /usr/lib/pa20_64/libcres.a. These archive libraries include the common string and memory functions along with a improved performance qsort routine. A few other selected small routines are also included. The intent of this library is to allow an application to link to this library archived while linking the application as a whole shared.
Programming Libraries Any performance gains for an application are highly dependent on the application’s use of libc.sl and what interfaces in this library are used. The fastcall technology will be delivered with all systems. If there are compatibility concerns, the applications should not be built with this technology. More API's in libc may make use of the fastcall technology in future releases. Appropriate changes to the header files will be delivered to track these changes.
Programming Libraries tracked. When the number of tracked objects reaches about 20,000, the user CPU time with the splay tree is about half the user CPU time for the old nftw(). At 100,000 tracked inodes, the user CPU time is about 90% less for the splay tree. Another performance improvement to nftw() eliminated calls to access() by checking the mode bits in the stat() buffer. This decreased system CPU time by approximately 4%.
Programming Libraries There are two portions to the thread private cache: one for ordinary blocks and one for small blocks. Small blocks are blocks that are allocated by the small block allocator (SBA), which is configured with the environment variable _M_SBA_OPTS or by calls to mallopt(3C). The small block cache is automatically active whenever both the ordinary block cache and the SBA are active. The ordinary block cache is active only when it is configured by setting _M_CACHE_OPTS.
Programming Libraries The malloc() per-thread cache is a heuristic which may or may not benefit a given kernel-threaded application that makes intensive use of malloc. Only by trying different configurations can you determine whether any speed improvement can be obtained from per-thread cache for a given application, and what the optimal tuning is for that application.
Programming Libraries Changes to libm The fesetround() and fehold() functions in fenv.h have been upgraded to the latest ISO C9x specification. Previously the functions returned nonzero to indicate success and zero to indicate failure; now they return zero to indicate success and nonzero to indicate failure. Any code that depended on the return value will need to change.
Programming Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Transition Links Deprecated deprecated for September 2003 The “Upgrade” product which contains the transition links management tools will be removed from the next HP-UX release. The transition links (tlinks) management tools were intended to be temporary transition tools for application migration from HP-UX 9. x to HP-UX 10.x file system layout.
Programming Miscellaneous • Support for ldd32, which lists dynamic dependencies of executable files or shared libraries in dld.sl. • Plabel cache, caches PLABELS at run-time, supported in ld and dld.sl. • ld +dependdb and +dependdb_outputdir options generate dependency database, ldb file. • ld +objdebugonly (in both 32-bit and 64-bit) ignores debug information from nonobjdebug objects or archives and then proceeds in +objdebug mode.
Programming Miscellaneous Forward and backward compatibility are maintained. However, use of new features in this release may break backward compatibility. Invoking chatr on some binaries built with an older linker may emit the following message: chatr(error): dl_header_ext.size != sizeof(dl_header_ext). Please update your version of the linker/chatr. This message should be regarded as a warning rather than an error. The operation of chatr will be successful despite the warning.
Programming Miscellaneous Under these circumstances, one of the following types of error messages will be issued if you attempt to link the objects created using the HP-UX 11i compiler on an original 11.0 system. NOTE • If you compile with +O3 or +O4you will receive the following message and a stack trace: report error(13-12299-434) to your nearest HP service representative(8911).
Programming Miscellaneous • RPC_DISABLE_PRIVATE: This variable disables the “private” setting of a socket. Specifically, the datagram protocol opens up one socket for each network address family supported on a host. Once opened, these sockets are kept in a pool for use whenever the process needs to make another RPC over that particular address family. If concurrent calls are made over the same address family, the calls share a single socket from the pool.
Programming Miscellaneous data structures change from release to release, this access method is fragile, incurring a high maintenance cost. To insulate these applications from the release-to-release variability in private kernel data structures, HP-UX 11i provides the enhanced pstat system call and a new set of wrappers. The pstat interface is designed to allow future expansion of the interface, while preserving source and binary compatibility of programs written using pstat wrappers.
Programming Miscellaneous Table 15-1 NOTE New pstat Modules (Continued) pstat_getpathname() Provides full pathname of an opened file (Reverse Pathname Lookup) pstat_getmpathname() Provides a copy of the DNLC entries for a given file system Use of the call pstat_getmpathname() is limited to uid equal to 0. Use of the calls pstat_getfiledetails(), pstat_getsocket(), pstat_getstream(), and pstat_getpathanme() is limited to uid equal to 0 or effective ID match.
Programming Miscellaneous In addition to the above data structures, several existing PSTAT data structures have been extended. These include: pst_dynamic, pst_vminfo, pst_vm_status, pst_status, pst_static, and pstun. Documentation The existing pstat (2) manpage has been extended to reflect the added functionality. Changes to sendfile The sendfile() system call is used to send a file directly over the network without having to perform many separate send() commands.
Programming Miscellaneous If a unique identifier is needed, use _CS_MACHINE_IDENT or _CS_PARTITION_IDENT. The preferred method of calling these functions is defined in the confstr (3C) manpage as the following: bufsize=confstr(_CS_MACHINE_IDENT,NULL,(size_t)0); buffer=(char *)malloc(bufsize+1); confstr(_CS_MACHINE_IDENT,buffer,bufsize+1); The first line will return the length of the string to be returned, allocate memory based on this value, and then call confstr() again to get the actual value.
16 Internationalization What’s in This Chapter? This chapter provides information that will be of interest to localizers or international users of HP-UX.
Internationalization Deprecated Functionality Deprecated Functionality deprecated in December 2003 Several commands, library routines and lp model files that implement internationalization functionality are being deprecated as of this release. They will be removed in the next major release of HP-UX (post 11i v1 and v2).

However, if compatibility concerns arise with regard to persistent data stored either in Unicode (UCS2) or UTF-8 on an HP-UX system, it is recommended that the previously installed ucs2=eucKR table be saved and renamed prior to installation of this fix. Persistent data can then be converted back to eucKR using this old table and then reconverted to the correct Unicode/UTF-8 representation.
Internationalization EURO (ISO 8859-15 Locales) EURO (ISO 8859-15 Locales) Euro support is provided via locale support for the ISO 8859-15 character set. ISO 8859-15 is a newly ratified character set that differs from ISO 8859-1 in that it supports eight new characters. Specific enhancements are provided to allow Euro display, input, and processing capabilities. Fourteen new locales have been created based on ISO 8859-15: Table 16-15 New Locales Locale Language (Country) C.iso885915 “C” da_DK.
Internationalization EURO (ISO 8859-15 Locales) encounter a change to the decimal and thousands separators for the currency, whereas decimal and thousands separators outside the monetary area stay the same as in previous locales. For example, in the French locale, the thousands separator is a space and the decimal point is a comma. However, the international standard for the thousands separator for the euro currency is a period. So, a user that has the LC_MONETARY locale category set to “fr_FR.
Internationalization EURO (ISO 8859-15 Locales) The ISO8859-15 font set is resident on the HP 4500 Color LaserJet Printer, which contains the Euro symbol at position A4 (hexadecimal). Your data file must contain this code to print the Euro symbol. A new utility will be provided to download the fonts to the printer RAM. These fonts will then reside in the printer’s RAM until the next power cycle.
