4 nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems What’s in This Chapter? This chapter describes changes to Hewlett-Packard’s new high-performance HP-UX server environments.
PAGE 52
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 December 2002 In addition to the servers listed below, HP now supports hard partitions on the HP rp7405 server (model 9000/800/rp7410). The HP rp7405 server is a pre-configured version of the HP rp7410 model.
PAGE 53
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.
PAGE 54
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 55
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.
PAGE 56
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.
PAGE 57
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 58
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) Partition Manager (parmgr) new at 11i original A new system administration tool, Partition Manager (parmgr), supports the initial and release 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 59
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) • Corrections to errors in display of cell memory and in I/O fan redundancy display. • Partition Manager is able to detect the presence of vPars, if installed in a hardware partition. • On a system with vPars installed, Partition Manager can now show limited information about I/O cards and I/O slots that belong to virtual partitions other than the one on which parmgr is running. Refer to the following notes from release B.11.11.01.
PAGE 60
nPartition (Hard Partition) Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) System Requirements Partition Manager requires HP-UX Release 11i. Partition Manager B.11.11.01.01 depends on the following additional products: Table 4-4 Partition Manager Dependencies Product Notes PHCO_23510 libfab.1 library patch [no longer needed with version B.11.11.01.03 (December 2001)] Included with the installation media.

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. 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).

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 209
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 210
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 211
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 212
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 213
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.
PAGE 214
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 215
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.
PAGE 216
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.
PAGE 217
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 218
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 219
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 220
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.
PAGE 221
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.

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 246
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 247
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.

PAGE 258
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 259
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 260
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 261
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.

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.
PAGE 268
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 270) • Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.
PAGE 270
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 271
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 272
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 273
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 274
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 275
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 276
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 107 for more information.
PAGE 277
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 278
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 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.
PAGE 288
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 289
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 290
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 291
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 292
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 293
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 294
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 295
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.
PAGE 296
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 297
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 298
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 299
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 300
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 209 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 301
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.
PAGE 302
Programming Miscellaneous Table 15-2 New pstat Data Structures (Continued) pst_filedetails This data structure contains detailed information specific to a particular open file. For a specified file, there is only one instance of this structure. This information includes stat equivalent information. pst_socket The PSTAT socket structure contains detailed information pertaining to an opened socket, such as type, state, protocol, address family, and options of the socket.
PAGE 303
Programming Miscellaneous Machine Identifier Changes to confstr new at 11i original release New machine identifier, partition identifier, and serial number parameters have been defined for the confstr() library function. The new parameters for confstr() are defined as follows: _CS_MACHINE_IDENT Identifier for each physical machine. Returned as an opaque string of printable ascii characters.This string has the same value for all partitions in a physical machine.

New and Changed Internationalization Features Corrected Character Mappings to iconv(1) and iconv(3C) No compatibility problems are anticipated. 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.
PAGE 314
New and Changed Internationalization Features 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 16-14 New Locales Locale Language (Country) C.
PAGE 315
New and Changed Internationalization Features 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.
PAGE 316
New and Changed Internationalization Features 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.
