With the MPE/iX Release 7.0, a number of new model strings will now be returned by the MPE/iX function HPCPUNAME. Following is a list of the new approved ASCI model strings for HP e3000 Servers supported with MPE/iX Release 7.0.

* All A-Class and N-Class Servers only use two characters in the last term to show frequency

For HP e3000 A- and N-Class Servers, the following definitions apply to model strings:

  • First term = SERIES e3000

  • Second term = family and model, may be variable length

  • Third term = number of processors authorized, may be variable length

  • Fourth term = frequency of authorized processors, will only be two characters

Model strings for newly shipped servers are always properly set by the HP factory or by the US Distributor, Client Systems. Whenever an HP e3000 Server is upgraded through a chassis upgrade or by the addition of a processor, the model strings will be properly set by the HP field CE doing the installation. Before completing an installation, HP field CEs should boot the HP e3000 Server to demonstrate proper setting of model string values.

Model strings cannot be set by customers or by resellers.

Mismatches between HP e3000 A- and N-Class Server model strings and the actual processors installed in the server may result in the server not successfully booting until an HP field CE properly sets the model strings. Mismatches related to processor module frequencies or mismatchers from attempting to boot MPE/iX on an HP 9000 A- or N-Class Server will be the most frequent reason for "model string failure to boot" error messages.

If the actual number of processors in an HP e3000 A- or N-Class Server is greater than the number specified in the model string, the number of processors configured at bootup time will be limited to the number authorized in the model string and a warning will be issued to the user.These bootup failures and warnings are most likely to occur if someone attempts to move processor modules between servers or if someone attempts to convert an HP 9000 Server to be an HP e3000 Server. HP fields CEs have been instructed to only reset model string values when repairing failing equipment or installing properly purchased HP e3000 field upgrade kits or additional processor modules--never to reset the model strings when someone has improperly added processor modules to an HP e3000 A- or N-Class Server.

For other HP e3000 Servers supported by MPE/iX Release 7.0, these bootup checks are not made at this time but may be added in future releases.

The following table shows the model strings for all other HP e3000 Servers supported by MPE/iX Release 7.0
