  7. OpenVMS V7.3-2 (Opal) • Field test started the end of June, 2003 • Target shipment date = Q4CY2003 • Focus Areas: • System and Hardware Support • General User Features • System and I/O Performance Enhancements • Security Features • System Management • More updates for e-Business and integration • More UNIX Portability features • Availability Features Alpha HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  8. System and Hardware Support • Marvel Enhancements • 32P mixed-speed CPUs support • Error Log Viewer (ELV) • Easy to use bit-to-text errorlog translation tool • No analysis just decoding • Analyzer Tool for EV7 • SDA support for OCLA (On Chip Logic Analyzer) • DS15 Support • DS10 follow-on • Supported on OpenVMS V7.3-1 • MSA1000 • Support for new low-end Fibre Channel RAID Array • Supports both switched and arbitrated-loop HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  9. 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  10. 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  11. 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  12. System and I/O PerformanceFastpath • LAN Drivers • Move off of IOLOCK8 to LAN device specific spinlocks • Allow device interrupts to CPUs other than the primary • PEdriver • Move off of IOLOCK8 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 • Backplane RAID controller • Offload IOLOCK8 spinlock, allows CPU selection HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  13. System and I/O PerformanceWSMAX 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  14. System and I/O PerformanceWorking Set in S2 Space • Remove WSMAX and BALSETCNT restrictions • Currently balance slots live in S0S1 space • S0S1 is a shared 32 bit space of 2GB 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 S2 space HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  15. System and I/O PerformanceSMP 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 • In some cases – SCHED is no longer required at all HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  16. System and I/O PerformanceSCHED spinlock • NAM_TO_PCB is heavy contributor to SCHED spinlock • Use PCB spinlock • Process control system services (prcnam argument) • $HIBER and $WAKE • No need for SCHED spinlock to wake current process • PCB$V_WAKEPEN bit in PCB$L_STS synchronized under SCHED spinlock • new PCB$V_WAKEPEN bit moved to PCB$L_STS3 • 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

  17. System and I/O PerformanceeXtended 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  18. 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  19. 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 3rd 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  20. 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 • Enhanced commands to view and monitor shadow environments HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  21. Network EnhancementsTCP/IP Services • Scalable Kernel • Performance and scalability improvements for SMP systems • Multiple dynamic spinlocks • No more IOLOCK8 • 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 HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  22. Network EnhancementsTCP/IP Services • SSH – secure shell (SSH) client and server • Secure POP – secure socket layer (SSL) for POP • IP address failover (failsafe IP) • New IPv6 software examples using IPv6 APIs • BIND server update to version 9.2.1 • BG devices • Maximum number of BG devices increases from 9999 to 32K • Fast BG device creation and deletion • Performance improvements • INET driver • NFS server • TELNET server HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo

  23. System Management Enhancements • The Data Collector (TDC) • Version 2 will be available on the web • Can be used to gather performance data for systems running V7.1 or later • Collect and stores the following types of data • Cluster configurations and communications • CPU utilization • Disk performance • System wide performance metrics • System parameters • Process utilization • Performance API ($GETRMI) • Added a few new items to retrieve per-mode CPU info HP World 2003 Solutions and Technology Conference & Expo
