| MPE/iX 7.5 adds new speed and performance
to the newly updated HP
e3000 A- and N-Class servers with thePA-8700 processors. |
Native fibre channel support on the HP
e3000 A-
and N- Class servers support the HP
SureStore Disk Array XP48, XP128, XP 1024, XP512 and the Virtual
Array 7100. |
The new CI Command :Shutdown, Restart provides
a shutdown mechanism with a reboot option in the command level
similar to the HP-UX operating system. This enhancement provides
a :SHUTDOWN command on the
CI prompt, with a RESTART option, which shuts down the system
completely and reboots automatically. |
| The UPS Monitor/iX subsystem of MPE/iX has
been enhanced to provide new capabilities related to the system’s
handling of AC power failures at UPS devices. The UPSUTIL utility program for
UPS subsystem management also was enhanced to support the new
features of the UPS Monitor/iX. |
| Beginning with MPE/iX Release 7.5, LDEV1
now supports more than 4GB of disk space. The MPE/iX operating
system uses the full capacity of the disk configured as LDEV1.
With this enhancement, the operating system can utilize the
entire disk space for storing files. Because the ISL limitation
is not removed, system utilities still must be stored within
the first 4GB of the disk
space. |
| Sendmail now is bundled into MPE/iX 7.5
as a fully supported product, which allows you to send and receive
SMTP-based e-mail. The initial A.01.00 release of Sendmail for
MPE/iX is based on the 8.12.1 Internet open source version from
Sendmail.org. Previously, this was available as unsupported
freeware. |
New storage solutions provide increased
performance and capacity while enabling future growth and expandability:
- support for new high-end disk arrays XP128/XP1024
- support for mid-range disk array VA7100
- FC 8B/16B 1/2GB
switches for highspeed SAN
infrastructure
- support for new JBOD SCSIdisk system DS2300
- support for new Tape Array 5300 enclosure
