2 Hard Partition Systems Introduction (new at 11i original release) Hewlett-Packard’s new hard partition servers provide highly configurable, high-performance HP-UX system environments.
Hard Partition Systems Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i (new at 11i original release) Superdome Systems at HP-UX 11i (new at 11i original release) The models differ with regard to the characteristics shown in Table 2-1.
Hard Partition Systems Machine Identifier (updated for June 2001) Machine Identifier (updated for June 2001) The uname -i command on your hard partition 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.
Hard Partition Systems Hard Partition Hardware Path Format (new at 11i original release) Hard Partition Hardware Path Format (new at 11i original release) The HP-UX hardware path on hard partiion systems is provided in the format described here. 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.
Hard Partition Systems New and Modified Hard Partition Commands (new at 11i original release) 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 hard partition systems. Additionally, the existing commands shutdown, reboot, and setboot have been modified to support hard partition platforms.
Hard Partition Systems New and Modified Hard Partition Commands (new at 11i original release) combination and not individually as done before. 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 might show up when accessing the firmware using means other than setboot.
Hard Partition Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) (new at 11i original release) Partition Manager (parmgr) (new at 11i original release) Partition Manager (parmgr) is a new system administration tool that 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. Partition Manager can be launched from SAM or directly from the command line.
Hard Partition Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) (new at 11i original release) NOTE Partition Manager includes online help that is displayable within a web browser. An appropriate version of Netscape is included in the Operating Environment (OE) bundle that is shipped with this release of HP-UX. Please install the OE bundle on any machine running Partition Manager for full access to the online help. Partition Manager Update for June 2001 Partition Manager version B.11.11.01.
Hard Partition Systems Partition Manager (parmgr) (new at 11i original release) Summary of Changes • Empty cell slots and empty or blocked I/O chassis slots are no longer listed as Available Resources; they are now listed under a separate category: “Empty Cell/Chassis Slots.” • The printed output of I/O Details and I/O Slot property sheets has been reformatted for improved readability. • A Print button was added to the Card Critical Resource Analysis dialog.
Hard Partition Systems Service Processor (GSP or MP) • If all cells currently assigned to a partition are removed, and others are added, an incorrect message is no longer displayed. • Partition Manager no longer warns about the state of the "Failure Usage" flag when removing a cell from a partition. • Messages and help displayed in the Confirm Modify Partition dialog have been improved to reduce confusion.
Hard Partition Systems New Attention Indicator Behavior (updated for September 2001) New Attention Indicator Behavior (updated for September 2001) The fruled command and Partition Manager blink the attention indicators (LEDs) on HP Superdome cells and I/O chassis rather than illuminating them in a steady-on state. Likewise, on HP rp8400 servers the fruled command and Partition Manager behaviors are to blink cell attention indicators.
Hard Partition Systems New Attention Indicator Behavior (updated for September 2001) The changed behavior for HP Superdome cell and I/O chassis attention indicators differs from the original HP-UX 11i release, which would light these attention indicators to a steady-on state. All HP rp8400 servers running HP-UX 11i conform to this new attention indicator behavior because these servers were not supported by HP-UX releases with the old behavior.
3 Workstation/Server Specific Information Systems That Are Supported (updated for September 2001) HP-UX 11i continues to support both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the HP-UX kernel. The tables below outline the supported HP-UX 11i configuration for HP 9000 servers and workstations. NOTE The information in the following tables is subject to change. For the most up-to-date data, refer to the following Web site: http://devresource.hp.com/STK/hpux_faq.html.

Workstation/Server Specific Information Hardware Enablement (updated for September 2001) Hardware Enablement (updated for September 2001) The HWE Patch Bundle (HWEnable11i) delivers support for new and future SPU, I/O, and mass-storage products. This bundle is labeled as required and is ignited on all systems in manufacturing. The HWE patch bundle is automatically loaded as part of any OE update.
Workstation/Server Specific Information HP-UX V-Class Changes (new at 11i original release) HP-UX V-Class Changes (new at 11i original release) Single-Bit Memory Error Handling Enhancement Single-bit memory errors will now be handled exclusively by memlogd. This allows the system to remove lockable pages that experience repeated single-bit memory errors. These pages are dynamically removed from the kernel’s list of free pages and the system uses the Page Deallocation Table to remove them at boot time.
Workstation/Server Specific Information SCSI Adapters SCSI Adapters The table below lists information about the SCSI Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) supported for HP-UX 11i. Note that some of the systems listed might not support both 32- and 64-bit versions of the HP-UX kernel; see the beginning of this chapter for more information.
Workstation/Server Specific Information Service Processor (GSP or MP) Service Processor (GSP or MP) The service processor is a service and console subsystem on N4000, all L-Class models, the new A-Class machines (the A400 and A500), Superdome systems, rp8400 servers, and all new servers introduced starting with the N-Class. The GSP console driver, the software component of the GSP, provides the following features on HP-UX: Local console port provides system console while HP-UX is running.
Workstation/Server Specific Information Service Processor (GSP or MP) The GSP subsystem interprets various forms of logging information from both firmware and software.
Workstation/Server Specific Information N4000 Server Functionality N4000 Server Functionality This section describes 11i functionality to enable HP 9000 models HP N4000 mid-range servers.
Workstation/Server Specific Information N4000 Server Functionality The configuration files on 64-bit systems (for example, /stand/system and master.d/core-hpux) and SAM will refer to CB-CDIO, PSMs and new CDIOs included in the system. These components may coexist in the configuration files and be loaded into the kernel at the same time, even if they are inactive on a particular platform. Run-time checks evaluate which components are activated.
Workstation/Server Specific Information N4000 Server Functionality PAT PSM This software module interacts with N-Class firmware to discover and keep track of the CEC components configured on the N4000. The PAT PSM also provides access to platform-specific hardware components at runtime. Although it may be included and linked into all 64-bit kernels, the PAT PSM is useful only to N4000 systems. A run-time test determines whether the linked-in PAT PSM is installed on the system as of HP-UX 11.
Workstation/Server Specific Information N4000 Server Functionality On N4000 systems, the firmware programs only the boot and console devices. The PCI CDIO must program the remaining devices, using information provided by firmware to the operating system (PAT PSM gets this for PCI). The N4000 disassociates interrupt routing/handling from the platform- specific bus adapter.
Workstation/Server Specific Information ttytype(1) Support for the N4000 Console ttytype(1) Support for the N4000 Console The ttytype (1) command has been enhanced to support the N4000 console. However, there are no user-visible changes in the behavior of the command. A new ioctl()call is added to the command to query the Guardian Service Processor (GSP) console driver for the TERM identity. If the ioctl()call fails, ttytype will continue with the existing terminal identification process.
Workstation/Server Specific Information Workstations Workstations Workstation Graphics Support Graphics Software Support The OpenGL, Starbase, HP PEXlib and HP-PHIGS 3D APIs are fully supported on HP 9000 PA-RISC workstations and selected servers. This software includes the run-time and programming environment packages for the 3D graphics APIs named above, plus additional software for technical computing environments.

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 • Setting max_mem_window to one creates a single memory window to accompany the existing global memory window, or a total of two memory windows one default and one user-defined. • Setting max_mem_window to two produces a total of three memory windows the default and two user-defined. • Setting max_mem_window to 0 leaves only one memory window, the default or global memory window.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters HP-UX SCA Process and Memory Management (new at 11i original release) 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 (new at 11i original release) 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 (new at 11i original release) 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 IPC Message Queue Enhancement (new at 11i original release) 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 IPC Message Queue Enhancement (new at 11i original release) These concerns arise only for separately-built binaries which share common message queues. A group of binary programs which use queues less than or equal to 64K are not affected by a separate group of programs which may be using other queues greater than 64K. The special compile-time symbol, “__BIGMSGQUEUE_ENABLED” selects the enhanced capabilities.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters System-V IPC SEMMSL Dynamic Kernel Tunable (new at 11i original release) System-V IPC SEMMSL Dynamic Kernel Tunable (new at 11i original release) The System-V IPC kernel tunable configuration parameter SEMMSL, which sets the maximum number of semaphores per ID which can be grouped within a single System-V IPC semaphore set, has changed from from a hard-coded value of 2048 in kernel code to a dynamic kernel tunable.
Process, Threads, Memory, and Kernel Parameters SCSI Queue Depth Management (new at 11i original release) 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 (new at 11i original release) Changes to mpctl() System Call (new at 11i original release) Some extensions are being made to mpctl() system call interface to pre-enable processor set functionality in HP-UX 11i release. The mpctl() interface provides command requests to query system information, like, total number of processors and locality domains in the system, and ID of all processors and locality domains.
9 New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Additional Support for Striping and Mirroring (new at 11i original release) LVM now supports striping and mirroring for shared volume groups. Previously under HP-UX 11.0, a volume group could not be activated in shared mode if any of its logical volumes were striped or mirrored. This restriction has now been lifted. Shared volume groups are provided to support ServiceGuard Oracle Parallel Server (OPS), so this change only affects customers using OPS.
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features New Version of Journaled File System (JFS) (new at 11i original release) New Version of Journaled File System (JFS) (new at 11i original release) HP-UX 11i includes a new version of the Journaled File System (JFS), version 3.3 as opposed to the previous version 3.1. (JFS is also known as the VERITAS File System or VxFS). New features in JFS 3.3 include: • support for access control lists (ACLs), the only HFS feature unavailable in JFS 3.
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features New Version of Journaled File System (JFS) (new at 11i original release) http://docs.hp.com and on the Instant Information CD, in both HTML and PDF formats. Compatibility Issues JFS ACLs use a different format from HFS ACLs. The new command, vxfsconvert (1M) will convert an HFS file system to a JFS file system. It also converts HFS ACLs to JFS ACLs, with the limitation that HFS ACLs with no JFS ACL equivalent are not converted.
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Network File System Support for TCP/IP (new at 11i original release) Network File System Support for TCP/IP (new at 11i original release) Network File System (NFS) is now supported over the connection-oriented protocol, TCP/IP for NFS versions 2 and 3, in addition to running over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP transport increases dependability on wide-area networks (WANs).
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Network File System Support for TCP/IP (new at 11i original release) Documentation Changes Manpages modified by this new feature: • • • • mount_nfs (1M) nfsd (1M) automount (1M) nfsstat (1M) Chapter 9 147

Loopback Transport Support Loopback transport provider devices (tlclts, tlcots, and tlcotsod) have been added to the TI-RPC definition file, /etc/netconfig.
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.
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Mounting and Unmounting NFS File Systems Automatically Using AutoFS /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop This will unmount all mounted AutoFS filesystems and then kill the automountd process. To stop AutoFS without using the /sbin/init.d/nfs.client script, you must enter the following: /usr/sbin/umountall -F autofs kill automounted_pid The automount -n, -M , and -tw options are not supported in AutoFS.
New and Changed Disk and File Management Features Mounting and Unmounting NFS File Systems Automatically Using AutoFS AUTOFS=1 AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS=”” AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS=”” Documentation Change A new manpage, automountd (1M) describes the AutoFS automount daemon. The automountd (1M) manpage has been modified to describe both the old automount daemon and the new AutoFS command. Obsolescence Although all 11.

This version provides additional features compared to the previous version. The sendmail-8.8.6 sendmail.cf file is compatible with the sendmail-8.9.3 binary. However, to take advantage of all the new features provided in this version, it is highly recommended that you use the default sendmail.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services (new at 11i original release) • 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’. The reqex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular expression.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services (new at 11i original release) The configuration file can be obtained by following these steps: 1. Make sure that Perl is installed on the system. 2. The hosts_to_named script must be copied to /usr/sbin and a link provided from /usr/bin manually. 3. A Perl script named-bootconf.pl is available in /usr/bin. This script is used to convert the existing named.boot file to named.conf file. 4. The new BIND configuration file named.conf must be created.
Internet and Networking Services Base HP-UX Internet Services (new at 11i original release) /etc/pam.conf File Changes To use PAM-ized rexec and remsh, the following lines have to be added to the /etc/pam.conf file: rcomds rcomds auth required account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 Using PAM-ized remshd in Secure Internet Services (SIS) Environment rexecd is not Kerber-ized and hence will not work in the SIS environment. However, remshd is Kerber-ized.

Internet and Networking Services Network Transport (new at 11i original release) Network Transport (new at 11i original release) Network Transport includes ifconfig, ndd, netstat, virtual IP address, setsockopt, and t_optmgmt. ifconfig The ifconfig subnet mask default now allows all 1’s or all 0’s in the masked part of the subnet field. This provides up to twice as many IP addresses as before. The default behavior now allows more IP address and subnet mask combinations.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport (new at 11i original release) 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 for more information. This new behavior makes available up to twice as many IP addresses than a similarly configured RFC1122 machine. This new feature is an enhancement.
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport (new at 11i original release) caching can increase system performance if there are many short-lived connections on the system. 6) Initial TCP congestion window size is now configurable: tcp_cwnd_init sets the sender’s initial congestion window size according to the following formula: Min((tcp_cwnd_init * MSS), max(2 * MSS, 4380)), where MSS is the maximum segment size for the underlying link. Default 4: (TCP implements RFC 2414).
Internet and Networking Services Network Transport (new at 11i original release) Virtual IP (VIP) Address for the System Using the loopback interface lo0:1, lo0:2 and so on, the system will respond to the IP address assigned to these interfaces using any physical interface. Thus, a system can now have a “systemIP” address that will be available as long as one interface stays usable.
Internet and Networking Services New Versions of FTPD New Versions of FTPD This release contains a new version of FTPD. The new version of FTPD is a replacement for 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 on type and location. • Per-directory upload permissions. • Restricted guest accounts.

Internet and Networking Services STREAMS/UX (new at 11i original release) STREAMS/UX (new at 11i original release) Several enhancements have been made to STREAMS/UX. These include 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. select() can detect out-of-band (OOB) data on TCP.
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 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 is 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 is added to the /usr/lib/X11R6 directory. End users must copy this to their $(HOME)/.netscape/plugins directory (or the quivalent) 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.

12 Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Hewlett-Packard has a long record of providing HP-UX compatibility. This protects your investment and allows you to easily upgrade your systems. HP has always recognized that HP-UX compatibility is an important feature that HP customers expect. IMPORTANT To guarantee compatibility, use the new Superdome Machine Identifier. The uname -i command on your Superdome systems may not return a unique value for each system.
Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • Adheres to the required practices that are specifically documented • 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 Binary Compatibility An application that ran on HP-UX 11.0 will continue to run with the same behavior on 32-bit and 64-bit HP-UX.
Compatibility Compatibility from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i • Data model relocatable object compatibility - an executable created by linking with a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit objects. THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED. The loader will not permit this. Upgrade Compatibility Customized configurations and data from HP-UX 11.0 are preserved upon installation and upgrade to HP-UX 11i. HP-UX 10.x Applications on HP-UX 11i HP-UX 10.x applications that compiled and ran on 11.0 can be recompiled and run on HP-UX 11i without change.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i All of these compatibility exceptions are rare corner cases for well-behaved applications. Details of these exceptions can be found in this document. Memory Windows This change enables applications to access up to 1GB of shared memory that is not otherwise allocated against the system-wide limit. Enabling Memory Windows alters the semantics of some memory API's and some POSIX API's.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Non-Executable Stack This change improves system security. The majority of your programs should be unaffected by execute protecting program stacks. Only those that execute instructions from their stack (typically interpreters, simulators and debuggers) are affected. When enabled, the new functionality causes the termination of any program attempting to execute code located on its stack.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i NFS Mount Access Control This change is necessary to conform to de facto industry behavior. The behavior of access= has been modified to conform to a common behavior. If you are using the undocumented feature to disallow the NFS mounts, it will now succeed. NOTE Applications that use undocumented features are not "well behaved." Tighter Security for NFS Mounts This change is necessary to improve the security of NFS mounts.
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i automatically. Any scripts or processes that rely on the automatic conversion to layout_version=1.0 will be broken. Software Distributor Log Message Simplification This makes it easier for an administrator to identify real problems when scanning the log files. The SD log files contain less 'noise' (error, warning or note messages that contain no useful information).
Compatibility Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i Customization of wctype Methods This change removes the ability to use customized locale methods for accessing “wctype”, wide character classification, APIs in order to provide performance improvements.

13 Programming Changes to the linker/dld Interface Patches to the linker/dld interface include the following enhancements: • Added support for the CXperf performance measuring tool in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the ld command. Both versions recognize the +tools option, which enables CXperf information to be propagated to an executable program; see “CXperf Performance Monitoring Support” in Chapter 7 for information on CXperf. • Added support for huge data (.
Programming Instrumented Code Using PBO or +O4 Optimization Instrumented Code Using PBO or +O4 Optimization This note pertains to the compilers and linker for HP C, HP aC++, HP C++ (cfront), HP Fortran 77, and HP-UX Linker. When you compile your source code with the compiler shipped on HP-UX 11i, without any changes to source code, options, or makefiles, you might create relocatable object files or executables that are no longer backward compatible to an original 11.0 system.
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 transition your software and scripts, you may have to resolve issues such as data model and API changes. Many tools are available to help you resolve these issues.
Programming HP DCE/9000 (new at 11i original release) HP DCE/9000 (new at 11i original release) HP Distributed Computing Environment (HP DCE/9000) Version 1.8 provides a high-quality, comprehensive, standards-based framework to develop, administer, and use distributed applications. Kernel threads application development is now supported on HP-UX. The 32-bit version of the kernel threads DCE library (libdcekt) is now part of HP-UX base operating system. The 64-bit version of libdcekt is also included.
Programming HP DCE/9000 (new at 11i original release) sockets are used by default to reduce the overhead. This can be disabled by exporting RPC_DISABLE_LOCAL=1. • HPDCE_CLIENT_DISC_TIME: An environment variable provided in the DCE RPC runtime with which the idle association termination time can be tuned to be a lesser value than the architecture-provided value of 5 minutes. With this environment variable, the idle association termination can be tuned to any value in the range of 1 to 300 seconds.
Programming Extensions to pstat(2) Extensions to pstat(2) This extension provides new functionality to the pstat() system call that enables various system management and measurement tools to eliminate their dependency on the /dev/kmem pseudo-driver. Today, many system management and measurement tools read kernel data structures through unsupported interfaces, such as the /dev/kmem pseudo-driver, to get information about open files, resource usage, process activity, and so on.
Programming Extensions to pstat(2) New Modules The following table shows new pstat modules and the purpose of each: NOTE pstat_getfile2() Provides information about open files of a process pstat_getfiledetails() Provides stat equivalent information pstat_getsocket() Provides detailed socket information pstat_getstream() Provides detailed stream information pstat_getpathname() Provides full pathname of an opened file (Reverse Pathname Lookup) pstat_getmpathname() Provides a copy of the DNLC ent
Programming Extensions to pstat(2) pst_mpathnode This structure is returned by pstat_getmpathname() routine that provides a copy of the DNLC entries for a given file system. The information contained in this structure includes id of the current file or directory, parent of the current entry, and the name of the current entry. By traversing the DNLC entries in the reverse order, one can obtain the pathname for an opened file to the mount point.
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 "classical" C++ STL library that corresponds to the pre-standard (Sept. 1998) definition of the C++ language and library.
Programming Libraries patches (C++ library and Header File patches: PHSS_21906, PHSS_21947, PHSS_21950, PHSS_21075, and PHSS_22217 as shown at http://www.hp.com/esy/lang/cpp/rels.html#11) are applied to the 11.0 system. Changes to libc Large Files Support for C++ Applications libc has been modified to support large files for C++ applications. C++ applications can now access files greater than 2 GB. This is done by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 in 32-bit mode.
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.
Programming Libraries memory functions along with a improved performance qsort routine. A few other selected small routines are also included. The intent of this library is that an application can link this library archived while linking the application as a whole shared. The use of this archived library is a supported link mode and will not introduce the problems normally associated with a shared/archive link.
Programming Libraries technology, this application will not have any compatibility issues with an existing /usr/lib/pa20_64/libc.sl. To make use of the application fastcall and the libcres.a features, changes will need to be made to existing make files. Other Considerations There is little to no impact from these changes. There is a slight (125KB) increase in amount of disk space required for libcres.a. The changes to the system libraries are transparent to current applications.
Programming Libraries Two defects were fixed in nftw(): • When the FTW_CHDIR option is set, directories are considered unreadable unless they have both read and execute permissions. (The old nftw() would try to chdir() into a directory without execute permissions and then abort the walk with an error). • When the FTW_CHDIR option is set, a directory object is reported to the user function before it is chdir()'ed into.
Programming Libraries is (roughly) the number of cached ordinary blocks per bucket that will be held in the ordinary block cache. The allowable values range from 0 through 8*4096 = 32768. If is set to 0, cache is disabled. is the number of power of 2 buckets that will be maintained per thread. The allowable values range from 8 though 32. This value controls the size of the largest ordinary block that can be cached.
Programming Libraries small space cost per ordinary block cached. ISVs whose applications are very memory intensive may want to configure only a minimum-sized or very small ordinary cache when experimenting with this feature. malloc() thread-private cache does not change the function of malloc() for nonthreaded or cma threaded applications. It does maintain binary compatibility.
Programming Libraries — ldd32 -list dynamic dependencies of executable files or shared libraries support in dld.sl. — Plabel cache, caches PLABELS at run-time, support in ld and dld.sl. — ld +dependdb and +dependdb_outputdir options for generation of dependency database, .ldb file. — ld +objdebugonly in both 32-bit and 64-bit, to ignore debug information from non objdebug objects or archives and proceed in +objdebug mode. — Special support for OGL's TLS shared library in dld (both 32- and 64-bit).
Programming Libraries Other Issues Various serious and critical defects were repaired. Forward and backward compatibility are maintained. 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.
Programming Changes to sendfile 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. In previous releases, sendfile() did not work properly with large files, that is, when an application made a call to sendfile() and was compiled with the following compiler flags: LARGEFILE(64)_SOURCE and/or FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. These flags allowed a 32-bit application to access large files that were over 2GB in size.
Programming Machine Identifier Changes to confstr (new at 11i original release) 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.
