HP Surestore Disk System 2300 (DS2300)
The HP DS2300 is a 3U, 14-LP-disk, Ultra160 enclosure. Redundant hot-swappable components ensure
system uptime. Mixed disk environment support, flexible deployment options, and upgradability to Ultra320
protect your investment. This device is also supported on MPE/iX 7.0 Express 1.
Internet and Interoperability
WebWise v.2 part of FOS
The current Apache web server in FOS has been replaced by the HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure Web Server
which is built from recent versions of Apache, mod_ssl, and OpenSSL. In addition to the security related
features of X.509 authentication and SSL transport encryption, there are new Apache features and bug fixes
that have come out since 1.3.14.
SIB Item #4- Sendmail in FOS
The Sendmail MTA (Mail Transport Agent) is now included in FOS to facilitate the sending and receiving of
e-mail. The functionality supported is comparable to the Sendmail functionality of HP-UX.
ODBC and JDBC Continue to be the Prime Database Connectivity
Updated ODBC access is provided via MB Foster Associates, ODBC/Link SE and is bundled at no additional
cost with IMAGE/SQL and ALLBASE/SQL.
High End Functionality
Large File Dataset
Each dataset in a TurboIMAGE database is an MPE file. The maximum size of a dataset file was 4 GB. For
dataset size greater than 4GB, TurboIMAGE used a set of files residing in HFS domain to store the data,
called a JUMBO dataset. With the Large File Dataset enhancement, TurboIMAGE allows users to use MPE
large file instead of JUMBO files as dataset files.
User Logging Limit Increase
With this solution, a single user level process can access 2851 user logging concurrently. This is improved
from the current user-logging limit of 1140.
IMAGE/SQL Performance
IMAGE product performance increases by adding two new options to the Attach command: NOAUTO and
NOAUTOSPLIT.
HP Predictive Support Software
Predictive provides proactive hardware support and helps increase the uptime of your systems by monitoring
system memory and disk/tape drives. When Predictive detects a potential problem, it sends a message to the
HP Response Center. The Response Center portion of the system screens the data and forwards problems
requiring further analysis to a Response Center Engineer. If action is needed at your site, the Response
Center Engineer and a Customer Engineer work with you to resolve the problem. This proactive hardware
support is provided as part of your HP Hardware and Software Support Services Agreement.
