(B.11.23), September 2004
New features
Read the release notes of 11i v2 upd 2 on docs.hp.com to learn about all the new features. Here
are some remarkable changes.
ps(1) command
before 11.23PI ps (1) displayed a maximum of 64 characters in the command field. At 11.23PI,
the default width is set to 128 characters and a default file has been provided (/etc/default/ps) to
define the length of the command field. The valid value of the command field width is between
64-1024. The default file will be part of the OS depot.
fuser(1M) command
In earlier releases, the fuser command can require several minutes to complete when there are
hundreds of memory-mapped files. At 11.23PI HP has provided a new support from the kernel to
identify memory-mapped files or file structure quickly to improve fuser performance.
pvchange(1M) command
pvchange command has a new –a option to temporarily disable a hardware path to a disk device
and re-enable it.
LVM – no more bad block relocation
Bad block relocation will no longer be performed.
Mixed Serviceguard clusters
Itanium and PA-RISC nodes can be members in one cluster.
kcweb TUI for kernel configuration
With 11.23PI kcweb provides a TUI for kernel configuration management from a console or a
non-graphical display. This will be useful in an environment where graphical display is not
possible or is slow. The /opt/hpsmh/lbin/cmenu, part of SysMgmtBase product is used to launch
the TUI. The look and feel of the TUI is different. In 11.11 (06.2004) where in a non-graphical
environment the TUI is invoked using ObAM 4.2
Cell Local Memory (CLM) support for PA systems
UX 11.23PI introduces CLM support also for PA-RISC platforms. CLM was not available on
UX 11.11.
