MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX,
is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems
for the HP 3000 line of computers. In HP documentation and in talking with HP e3000 users, you
will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX.
MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL
will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE
XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added
to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical
directories). Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the
operating system for HP e3000s, not based on PA-RISC architecture.
MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC HP e3000 (Series 900) in
what is known as compatibility mode. In
This Book. This manual is your guide to starting, shutting down, and
configuring the HP e3000 (Series 900). Chapter 1, "Introduction," provides
an overview of system startup, configuration, and shutdown procedures. Chapter 2, "Initiating
System Activity," explains the initial portions of the
system bootup procedures including soft resets, hard resets, system
self testing, boot paths and working with AUTOBOOT. Chapter 3, "System
Startup Functions," explains the Initial System Loader,
starting, updating and installing the operating system, and how
to dump system memory. Chapter 4, "Using
the System Generator (SYSGEN)," introduces you to SYSGEN
and its configurator modules and explains how to generate a System
Load Tape. Chapter 5, "Modifying
Input/Output (I/O) Configurations," explains how to use
SYSGEN's I/O Configurator and how to use the IOCONFIG utility to
make changes to the input and output devices used on the system. Chapter 6, "Modifying
Logging Configurations," explains how to use the LOG configurator
to change the attributes of user and system logging processes. Chapter 7, "Modifying
Miscellaneous Configuration Elements," explains how to
configure various system elements using SYSGEN's MISC configurator. Chapter 8, "Modifying
System File Configurations," describes how to use the SYSFILE
configurator to change system libraries, programs, and the system
message catalog. Chapter 9, "Halting
System Activity," describes how to shut down the system. Appendix A, "Using
the Access Port (AP)," explains how to enable a remote
console and configure a remote modem port for system support. Appendix B, "Startup,
Dump, and Shutdown Listings," lists the console messages
you will see during a successful startup, load, dump and shutdown
of the system. Appendix C, "Reading
Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory," explains how to
use the READSS and READNVM commands to provide information to your Customer
Engineer in case of system problems. Appendix D, "Default
Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE," explains default
configuration groups. Appendix E, "Verifying
Attached Devices," explains two ISL utitilities,
IOMAP and ODE. Appendix F, "Adding
Peripherals to a System," explains how to define device
paths for peripherals connected to a system via several different
kinds of device adapters. Appendix G, "UPS
and UPS Monitor/iX Software," explains the new method of
power failure protection available on HP e3000 systems.
The Glossary defines the important
terms introduced in system management. The Index is an alphabetical listing
of subjects, cross-referenced with their location in the manual. This manual contains information subject to change without
notice. |
