General User Features - DCL • Blocks to Bytes Enhancements $ SET PROCESS/UNITS=(BYTES, BLOCKS) – $ SHOW PROCESS/UNITS – Allows a process to display information from a variety of DCL commands as bytes (KB, MB, GB, …) – The DCL commands that honor the units setting are: – • COPY • DELETE • DIRECTORY - /SIZE=(UNITS=(BYTES, BLOCKS) to override • PURGE • SHOW DEVICE - /SIZE=(BYTES, BLOCKS) to override • SHOW MEMORY • SHOW QUOTA 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 9

General User Features - DCL • DCL command size limits increased Interactive DCL commands have been increased from 255 characters to 4095 – DCL commands in a file have been increased from 1024 characters to 8192 – DCL Symbol sizes have been increased from 1024 to 4096 – • The sizes for logical names (255) has not changed 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 10

System Management - Backup • New Qualifiers for the BACKUP utility – /FILES_SELECTED=filename • Allows the use of a file to contain a list of files to be selected when a save set is restored. • This can be used in place of the /SELECT qualifier – /INPUT_FILES=filename • Allows the use of a file to contain a list of files to be specified for a BACKUP operation – /HEADER_ONLY=(keyword) • Can be used to specify that only the header of shelved or preshelved files are saved in a backup • Avoids unshelving shelved files which is the default behavior 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 11

System and I/O Performance Fastpath • LAN Drivers – – • Move off of IOLOCK 8 to LAN device specific spinlocks Allow device interrupts to CPUs other than the primary PEdriver Move off of IOLOCK 8 to PE specific spinlocks Allow a specific CPU to be chosen for PEdriver processing Allows PEDRIVER to process cluster communications on a single CPU – Reduces CPU cost due to streamlined codepath also for served block data – – – • Fastpath for Smart Array 5300 – – 2/26/2021 Backplane RAID controller Offload IOLOCK 8 spinlock, allows CPU selection HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 12

System and I/O Performance WSMAX and BALSETCNT Large systems often had to make compromises between large working sets or a large number of processes in memory • If you wanted a large BALSETCNT, you often had to reduce WSMAX or visa versa • – These trade offs could result in either increased swapping activity if BALSETCNT was too low or increased paging activity if WSMAX was too low These restrictions have been removed • The BALSETCNT parameter has also become dynamic • 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 13

System and I/O Performance Working Set in S 2 Space Remove WSMAX and BALSETCNT restrictions • Currently balance slots live in S 0 S 1 space • S 0 S 1 is a shared 32 bit space of 2 GB in size – Balance Slot size is heavily based on WSMAX – Some customers today must trade-off large number of resident processes (BALSETCNT) vs. large working set (WSMAX) – • We are breaking balance slots into a balance slot and working set slot The Working Set List is the major part of a Balance Slot – The working set slot will exist in S 2 space – 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 14

System and I/O Performance SMP Improvements • • • SMP systems synchronize various code with spinlocks Only a single CPU can hold a specific spinlock and thus operations that use the same spinlock are serialized A commonly used spinlock is the SCHED spinlock A high frequency operation to lookup a process has been improved to use a “process specific” spinlock for the necessary synchronization In addition, the $HIBER and $WAKE system services have been improved to reduce the usage of the SCHED spinlock – 2/26/2021 In some cases – SCHED is no longer required at all HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 15

System and I/O Performance SCHED spinlock • NAM_TO_PCB is heavy contributor to SCHED spinlock – – • Use PCB spinlock Process control system services (prcnam argument) $HIBER and $WAKE – – – 2/26/2021 No need for SCHED spinlock to wake current process PCB$V_WAKEPEN bit in PCB$L_STS synchronized under SCHED spinlock new PCB$V_WAKEPEN bit moved to PCB$L_STS 3 waking up current process from within AST saves 2 SCHED acquire/release waking up target process not current on any CPU saves 1 SCHED acquire/release Helps multi-threaded processes (i. e. Java apps and friends HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 16

System and I/O Performance e. Xtended File Cache (XFC) • • • Performance boosts for small I/Os Support for read ahead hint Reclaim unused and closed files Fixed misaligned fields in context block Usability and debugging improvements Display files by volume instead of random order (SDA) Miscellaneous XFC SDA changes to help troubleshoot More efficient use of memory More useful and readable displays 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 17

System and I/O Performance • Quieter MOUNTVERIFY messages Reduces noise on the console and in operator log file – Multiple reasons for mount verifications in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment – • Path switch by another cluster node • Dropped Fibre Channel packets • Rezone of a SAN, which causes in-flight I/Os to be dropped Those messages should not be flagged as errors – Filter real “attention needed” error messages – MVSUPMSG_NUM and MVSUPMSG_INTVL are new system parameters to control – 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 18

RAS Features • LAN Failover Ability to define multiple network adapters as virtual network interface – Transparent failover to similar LAN device – • Multipath Party Intercept Allows multiple DDT intercepts for multipath devices – Primarily for 3 rd party disk caching products who try to intercept I/Os – • Component Indictment – CPU Pro-active stop failing CPU – Target audience are customers using Compaq Analyze – 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 19

Shadowing • Dynamic Volume Expansion Initialize device with a “maximum” size to which volume can expand – Allows a disk to be replaced with a larger one – • Dissimilar Device Shadowing Disks with different sizes and/or geometrical configurations can now be members in the same shadowset – Allows larger disks in size to be added, one by one, to a shadowset to increase and expand its size – • SET/SHOW SHADOW – 2/26/2021 Enhanced commands to view and monitor shadow environments HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 20

Network Enhancements TCP/IP Services • Scalable Kernel – • Multiple dynamic spinlocks – • Performance and scalability improvements for SMP systems No more IOLOCK 8 Queue KRP (kernel request packet) Handled by fork thread on non-primary CPU – Similar to dedicated lock manager – • Improve concurrency Multiple concurrent network I/O – Multiple processes can allocate mbufs, fill in data and queue requests – 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 21

Network Enhancements TCP/IP Services • • • SSH – secure shell (SSH) client and server Secure POP – secure socket layer (SSL) for POP IP address failover (failsafe IP) New IPv 6 software examples using IPv 6 APIs BIND server update to version 9. 2. 1 BG devices – – • Maximum number of BG devices increases from 9999 to 32 K Fast BG device creation and deletion Performance improvements INET driver NFS server – TELNET server – – 2/26/2021 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo 22
