nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Introduction Introduction Hewlett-Packard’s new nPartition (hard partition) servers provide highly configurable, high-performance HP-UX system environments. updated for June 2002 For HP Superdome, rp8400, and rp7410: HP nPartitions servers now support faster PA-8700 processors, including both 750 MHz and 875 MHz CPUs. updated for March 2002 In addition to the servers listed below, HP now supports hard partitions on the HP rp7410 server (model 9000/800/rp7410).
PAGE 43
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i new at 11i original release Superdome models differ with regard to the characteristics shown in Table 2-1.
PAGE 44
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.
PAGE 45
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Hard Partition Hardware Path Format Hard Partition Hardware Path Format new at 11i original release The HP-UX command ioscan reports the hardware paths for components within the 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.
PAGE 46
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems New and Modified Hard Partition Commands New and Modified Hard Partition Commands new at 11i original release Several system administration commands are provided with HP-UX 11i for creating and maintaining partitions on all nPartition systems. Additionally, the existing commands shutdown, reboot, and setboot have been modified to support nPartition platforms.
PAGE 47
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.
PAGE 48
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) Partition Manager (parmgr) new at 11i original release A new system administration tool, Partition Manager (parmgr), supports the initial and ongoing configuration of systems that support hard partitions, (such as Superdome systems), and also provides extensive information about the status of a Superdome complex.
PAGE 49
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) This update to Partition Manger includes the following major improvements: • support for new HP server systems • operability on partitions with HP Virtual Partitions (vPars) installed • improvements to the online help • various bug fixes and enhancements, including the following: — Messages and online help associated with card OLAR (online addition and replacement of I/O cards) have been improved for readability and clarity.
PAGE 50
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) PARMGR(1M) Manual Page Error The HP-UX 11i manual page for parmgr (1M) contains the error described below. Note that this error only occurs in the PDF version of the HP-UX Reference (Volume 4 of 9), “System Administration Commands,” published on the Hewlett-Packard Technical Documentation web site (http://docs.hp.com) in December 2000. In the SYNOPSIS section, the pathname of the parmgr command was incorrect.
PAGE 51
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) • A more meaningful error message is displayed when a non-root user attempts to start Partition Manager. • When launching Partition Manager from a PC web browser, a graphic displayed in the initial launch page has been corrected. • If all cells currently assigned to a partition are removed, and others are added, an incorrect message is no longer displayed.
PAGE 52
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).
PAGE 53
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems hd_fabric Driver hd_fabric Driver new at 11i original release Although the HP-UX 11i install kernel does not include a /stand/system entry for the 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.
PAGE 54
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.
PAGE 55
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. As a result, sites that have HP Superdome servers running both the original HP-UX 11i release and the HP-UX 11i June 2001 (or later) release can have attention indicators at different states (steady-on and blinking).

Workstation/Server Specific Information Service Processor (GSP or MP) Service Processor (GSP or MP) NOTE The service processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) and sometimes the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). Regardless of the name, the service processor in these servers provides approximately the same features and performs essentially the same role. Throughout this document the term “service processor” refers to both the MP and GSP service processors.

PAGE 180
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.
PAGE 181
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.
PAGE 182
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.
PAGE 183
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.
PAGE 184
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.
PAGE 185
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.
PAGE 187
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.
PAGE 190
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.
PAGE 191
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.
PAGE 192
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.

New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Network File System Support on TCP/IP Kernel TCP threads execute under the process nfskdtcp. When counting the number of nfsd processes, keep in mind the following algorithm: An equal number of nfsds that support UDP will be created per processor, but only one nfsd that supports TCP will be created. In the case of a four-way machine and NUM_NFSDS=14 (set in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf), 17 nfsds will be created: 16 for UDP (4 per processor) and 1 for TCP.

New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Mounting and Unmounting NFS File Systems Automatically Using AutoFS Mounting and Unmounting NFS File Systems Automatically Using AutoFS HP-UX 11i provides a daemon that mounts and unmounts NFS file systems automatically. This feature is known as AutoFS. AutoFS coexists with automount and performs the same functions as automount, but has a new, more reliable design. Additionally, AutoFS supports the NFS PV3 protocol whereas the automounter does not.

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.
PAGE 215
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.
PAGE 216
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.

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.
PAGE 227
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.
PAGE 228
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.
PAGE 229
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, 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.

14 Compatibility What’s in This Chapter? This chapter covers the following topics: • Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i (see page 238) • Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.
PAGE 238
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.
PAGE 239
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.
PAGE 240
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.
PAGE 241
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.
PAGE 242
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.
PAGE 243
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.
PAGE 244
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: STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors” on page 95 for more information.
PAGE 245
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.
PAGE 246
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.

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 to either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of HP-UX 11i. 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*) new at 11i original release The aC++ runtime provides the run-time environment necessary for deploying C++ based (aC++ compiled) applications on HP-UX 11i. 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.
PAGE 256
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.
PAGE 257
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.
PAGE 258
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.
PAGE 259
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.
PAGE 260
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%.
PAGE 261
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.
PAGE 262
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.
PAGE 263
Programming Libraries Documentation The libcres.a (5) manpage describes the libcres.a library’s use more thoroughly. 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.
PAGE 264
Programming Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Linker and Object File Tools (ld, crt0.o, dld.sl, libdld.sl, chatr, and odump) new at 11i original release The following list summarizes the changes to linker and object file tools. Details for several of the linker changes follow the lists. Linker Changes • Incremental linking supported in 64-bit ld and elfdump. • Unix 98 (32-bit dl()* calls) supported in libdld.sl and dld.sl. • 32-bit Filtered shared libraries supported in ld, dld.sl and in odump.
PAGE 265
Programming Miscellaneous Unix 98: Support for the APIs dlopen, dlsym, dlerror and dlclose has been added for 32-bit programs. Filtered Libraries: Filtered shared libraries divide up a large library into one filter and several implementation libraries. The user links against the filter library, but the real definitions of data and functions actually resides in the implementation libraries. At run time, only those implementation libraries that are actually used are loaded.
PAGE 266
Programming Miscellaneous • Added global symbol table support. • Added support for object code repository reuse. Neither functionality nor compatibility are affected by the code changes. However, for 64-bit programs, mixing object files having non-weakorder sections with object files having weakorder sections might cause the ordering of text sections to change. The new version of the linker requires 34112 blocks.
PAGE 267
Programming Miscellaneous The distinction between the International and US/Canada version of DCE components has been removed. That is, the 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) which was earlier restricted to US/Canada is now available for all customers. This means there will only be one version of the DCE library and dced daemon, which is based on the 56-bit DES version. NOTE The number of LAN interfaces supported by DCED is limited to 32 and the LAN interfaces supported by CDS is 12.
PAGE 268
Programming Miscellaneous Also, since CMA threads are being obsoleted, it is recommended that all applications using CMA threads start migrating to kernel threads and use libdcekt. (See “Kernel Threads vs. CMA Threads” on page 181 for additional information.) Compatibility Issues All applications using the 64-bit library libdcekt may need to include /usr/include/dce/dce64.h. DCE server products are not supported on workstations (Series 700 machines). Documentation The site http://devresource.hp.
PAGE 269
Programming Miscellaneous Note, however, relocatable objects may incorrectly presume that the size of returned information is the same pre- and post-patch. It is possible to determine the size of information returned. pstat() users can use the size return value of the system call to maintain relocatable object compatibility and portability across the proposed change. This is documented in the manpage.
