This document describes the use of products available in the [http://
|
||
www.hp.com] Hewlett-Packard (HP) catalog with Linux and some free software.
|
||
It gives the state of the support for hardware, software to use, answers to
|
||
some frequently asked questions and gives elements of sizing. The goals are
|
||
to offer a general view of free software functions and their use at best with
|
||
HP products; as well as to make new users of HP products rapidly operational
|
||
and also to allow others to choose their products knowing facts.

Chapter 1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
1.1. Presentation
|
||
|
||
This document is a guide on the use of products proposed by the hardware
|
||
manufacturer [http://www.hp.com] Hewlett-Packard (HP) under Linux. It's a
|
||
quick reference guide, covering all what you need to know to size, install
|
||
and configure your products under Linux, or which complementary software will
|
||
be useful for their use. Frequently Asked Questions find answers, and
|
||
references are given concerning other sources of information related to HP
|
||
technologies and applications.
|
||
|
||
Opinions expressed here are those of the author, and don't commit both
|
||
[http://www.medasys.fr] Medasys or [http://www.hp.com] Hewlett-Packard .
|
||
Informations are provided in the aim to be useful to the readers. However,
|
||
there can't be, through this document, any warranty of any kind either from
|
||
Medasys or HP on these systems under Linux, as well as from myself. Neither
|
||
Medasys, nor HP, nor the author could be responsible for any problem caused
|
||
by the use of this information. However, software editors don't guarantee you
|
||
a lot either (re-read the contracts).

|
||
|
||
1.1.1. New versions of this document
|
||
|
||
New versions of this document will be announced regularly on the Usenet
|
||
groups [news:fr.comp.os.linux.annonces] news:fr.comp.os.linux.annonces and
|
||
[news:comp.os.linux.annonces] news:comp.os.linux.annonces. They will also be
|
||
updated on the various anonymous ftp sites which archive such information,
|
||
mainly [ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/] ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/
|
||
pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/.
|
||
|
||
Hypertext versions of this and other Linux HOWTO are available on many web
|
||
sites, including [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO] http://www.linuxdoc.org/
|
||
HOWTO and [http://www.freenix.org/unix/linux/HOWTO] http://www.freenix.org/
|
||
unix/linux/HOWTO. Most Linux distributions on CD-ROM include the HOWTO, often
|
||
under the /usr/share/doc, directory, and you can also buy printed copies from
|
||
several vendors. Sometimes the HOWTO available from CD-ROM vendors, ftp sites
|
||
or printed format are out of date. If the date on this HOWTO is more than 6
|
||
months in the past, then a newer copy is probably available on the Internet.

Chapter 2. Presentation of Linux and Free Software
|
||
|
||
2.1. Some definitions
|
||
|
||
Before going into more details in the presentation, it could be useful to
|
||
give some definitions of terms and software mentionned in that HOWTO.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.1.1. Free Software or Open Source software
|
||
|
||
A free software (or Open Source software) is a software distributed with its
|
||
source code, allowing its study, its transmission, its adaptation. The
|
||
problem, in english, is the use of free, which has both meanings of "at no
|
||
cost" and "without constraint". Here, it's the second use which has to be
|
||
considered, hence the use of Open Source. To remember, think of free as
|
||
speech, not beer.
|
||
|
||
Depending on the licenses used for its development, the constraints for
|
||
users of such a software are various. The most open licenses (like the BSD
|
||
one) allow code appropriation by third parties, including the resell of the
|
||
resulting software (with or without modification) in commercial products,
|
||
without any problem, and without owing something else to the originators than
|
||
the mention of their copyright. Other licenses (like the GNU Public License
|
||
or GPL) force every modified GPL software to be free GPL software itself ;
|
||
this doesn't allow the use of such programs in a commercial one. Many other
|
||
licenses exist, more or less open: the Artistic License (perl), the NPL one
|
||
(mozilla), the QPL one (Qt) ...
|
||
|
||
A vast majority of free software is today under the GPL license, even if
|
||
the BSD world takes always a great place, however less visible, mainly in the
|
||
press. Linux is placed under the GPL. To have more information on these
|
||
definitions and the licenses, please refer to the following reference sites :
|
||
|
||
[http://www.gnu.org] GNU project Web site
|
||
You find there all information on the GNU project, including the
|
||
licenses produced (GPL and LGPL) and various discussions on free
|
||
software.
|
||
|
||
[http://www.opensource.org] Open Source project Web site
|
||
This site proposes a new definition, a bit less restrictive, of free
|
||
software - called here OpenSource Software - by well-known people.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[http://www.freebsd.org/] FreeBSD project Web site
|
||
Here are explained the advantages of the very open BSD license.
|
||
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
2.1.2. Examples and counter-examples
|
||
|
||
First of all, free software and freeware shouldn't be mixed up. A freeware
|
||
is not necessarily a software provided with its sources, on the contrary of a
|
||
free software. On the other side, on the contrary of a freeware, you may be
|
||
charged to obtain a free software (it's not in contradiction with the license
|
||
used). The ambiguity, as stated before, comes from the word "free" . A
|
||
freeware is then free of charge, but not necessarily "free of sources". (As
|
||
well, the shareware has nothing to do with free software).
|
||
|
||
So examples of important and well-known free software are the Linux and
|
||
FreeBSD operating systems, the [http://www.apache.org] Apache Web server, the
|
||
[http://www.samba.org] SaMBa SMB server, GNU C and C++ compilers ... A
|
||
contrario, examples of well-known freeware are the Internet Explorer browser,
|
||
the Eudora Light mail reader, ...
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.1.3. Linux
|
||
|
||
Linux is a free operating system, superset of the POSIX norm. "Linux" points
|
||
out the kernel alone. By extension, the name is also given to distributions
|
||
based on that kernel plus a set of tools from the GNU project.
|
||
|
||
Linux is by consequence a Unix system, except that it doesn't use any
|
||
proprietary code and is furnished under the GPL license, implying the
|
||
availability of the sources. As every Unix system, Linux is multi-tasking and
|
||
multi-user. It's also extremely portable, and it is available officialy today
|
||
on processors such as Intel (i386 to Pentium IV), Alpha, Motorola (680x0 and
|
||
PowerPC), Sparc, StrongArm, Mips. Without mention of the ports, operational
|
||
or in process on PalmPilot, Itanium (ex-Merced), PA-Risc, Crusoe ...
|
||
|
||
The system is today perfectly stable and mature. Versions "x.y.z" of the
|
||
Linux kernel, where "y" is an even number, are stable and only bug
|
||
corrections are generaly applied when "z" increases. Versions "x.y.z" of the
|
||
Linux kernel, where "y" is an odd number, are development versions which may
|
||
be instable and are reserved to developers or intrepids.
|
||
|
||
From time to time, when the kernel development stabilizes a "freeze" is
|
||
announced to furnish a new "stable" version (even), and the development goes
|
||
on on a new version (odd).
|
||
|
||
The current stable version is the version 2.4.16 (this last number may
|
||
evolve following the rythm of corrections). Development has on the other side
|
||
begun again with a 2.5 version.
|
||
|
||
Numerous presentations of Linux are currently available. Among them, you
|
||
should consult the one made by Michael Johnson at [http://www.linuxdoc.org/
|
||
HOWTO/INFO-SHEET.html] http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/INFO-SHEET.html
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.1.3.1. Linux technical characteristics
|
||
|
||
The system offers the following technical characteristics :
|
||
|
||
* Multi-tasking : executes several programs in pseudo-parallel.
|
||
|
||
* Multi-users : many users acting on the same machine at the same time
|
||
(without worrying on licenses).
|
||
|
||
* Portable and interoperable : works on several hardware architectures.
|
||
All the sources are available. Linux supports a lot of file systems,
|
||
outside the native ext2 : System V, BSD, Sun, MS-DOS, VFAT, NTFS, Mac,
|
||
HPFS, EFS, ISO9660. On the network side, it supports the following
|
||
protocols TCP/IP v4 and v6, Appletalk, Netware (client and server), Lan
|
||
Manager SMB (client and server), X-Window, NFS, PPP, SLIP, UUCP.
|
||
|
||
* Performant architecture : modular kernel, built at will, execution in
|
||
protect mode on 80x86 processors, page load on demand, page share between
|
||
executables when reading, virtual memory with swap on disk, use of a
|
||
dynamical disk cache in memory, dynamic libraries, process management,
|
||
pseudo terminals, virtual consoles.
|
||
|
||
* Security : protection of memory between processes: one user program
|
||
can't compromise the whole system operation. The kernel may also, on the
|
||
other hand, filter network packets.
|
||
|
||
* Respect of norms and standards : Posix, with System V and BSD
|
||
extensions. Support of COFF and ELF binaries. Binary compatibility with
|
||
SCO, SVR3/4 through the iBCS2 module. Native Language Support as well as
|
||
national keyboards, fonts...
|
||
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
2.2. Free software concepts
|
||
|
||
Once the definitions are given, it is important to stay on at ideas
|
||
promoted by the free software movement. It's important as well to clear some
|
||
wrong ideas hawked on these software. This section gives then a various set
|
||
of elements in favour of the introduction of free software and ends on the
|
||
real problems remaining to solve.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.1. Free software philosophy
|
||
|
||
In fact, the philosophy promoted by the free software movement is not that
|
||
different from the one proposed by the scientific movement till a long time
|
||
already: to put in common ideas and collective knowledge to allow the
|
||
progression of the research and the growth of this knowledge. The knowledge
|
||
of the human genome is one of the examples of such a collaborative work.
|
||
|
||
The computer engineering environment, and especially the software one,
|
||
seems to have turn away till the last 20 years from these base concepts of
|
||
the scientific world. It prefers on the contrary to keep the customer captive
|
||
instead of giving him the information needed to exploit his computing
|
||
environment the best he can. That's indeed following such a problem at the
|
||
begining of the 80's that Richard Stallman, who was doing researches in
|
||
artificial intelligence at the MIT, decided to create the GNU project. This
|
||
project is the foundation of the current free software movement.
|
||
|
||
The main ideas promoted by this movement and stated by Richard Stallman
|
||
himself are :
|
||
|
||
* Liberty: every user should be free to copy, diffuse, modify a program,
|
||
either to share it with others, or to adapt it to his own needs. As well,
|
||
he should be able to analyse it to understand, imitate, improve, verify
|
||
its operations, as well as every scientific result is published and seen
|
||
by the peers for verification, study, understanding and realisation of
|
||
derived works. Could you imagine a vaccine against the liver cancer that
|
||
another laboratory couldn't derive to make a vaccine against the pancres
|
||
cancer. Of course, the negative impact of patents at that level is
|
||
obvious.
|
||
|
||
* Equality: every person should have the same rights on the software.
|
||
Thus the provider isn't priviledged and can't keep customers to whom he
|
||
furnished his work captive. Could you think that only the producer of our
|
||
vaccine could use it ? With software patents, if you don't pay, you
|
||
cannot use them (think to discussions around RANT and W3C standards).
|
||
|
||
* Fraternity: this mode of working encourages the whole computer
|
||
engineering community to cooperate and thus to produce software more and
|
||
more reliable and useful to all. Could you imagine that a discovery like
|
||
the vaccine above couldn't help everyone and favour other discoveries.
|
||
Again with software patents, nothing like that is possible.
|
||
|
||
|
||
More over the utopy of these ideas, we can find other reasons which allowed
|
||
free software to spread so widely today. They are detailed in Section 2.2.2.
|
||
|
||
The free software movement materializes itself also through a community of
|
||
people. That community, informal meeting of personnalities, is heterogeneous
|
||
in its contents, actions, ideas, even if all share the same belief in the
|
||
freedom of the software. That community created for itself the tools needed
|
||
to its communication : Internet and Usenet. And these communication tools are
|
||
based of course on a lot of free software to work. Among the outstanding
|
||
persons of this movement, we can present :
|
||
|
||
* [http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~torvalds/] Linus Torvalds, conceptor of
|
||
Linux.
|
||
|
||
* [http://www.gnu.org/people/rms.html] Richard Stallman, GNU project
|
||
conceptor.
|
||
|
||
* [http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr] Eric S. Raymond, writer of several and
|
||
excellent articles, which inspired so many vocations.
|
||
|
||
* [http://kiev.wall.org/~larry] Larry Wall, author of Perl and of the patch
|
||
tool, and philosopher.
|
||
|
||
* [] Alan Cox, mister "do everything".
|
||
|
||
* Tim O'Reilly <ask_tim@oreilly.com>, free software advocate and editor of
|
||
several books dedicated to them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
All these personalities are, above all, excellent computer engineers, which
|
||
allows them to be recognized as major actors of the free software movement.
|
||
Their human and communication qualities are also strong characteristics of
|
||
their nature. In any case they aren't considered for their power, but for
|
||
their knowledge.
|
||
|
||
Of course, the free software community is built of thousands of
|
||
programmers, whose complete list would be too tedious. All share the will of
|
||
producing useful work, free, and to be recognized for their technical
|
||
qualities above all.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.2. The choice of free software
|
||
|
||
To use free software to bring solutions in a computing environment is a
|
||
choice. First, it is in favour of a plurality of solutions, mainly in the
|
||
personal computer world which tends to be monopolistic. Then, the choice is
|
||
made, and that's what is finally important, on the own qualities of free
|
||
software, which are detailed just below.
|
||
|
||
Source code access
|
||
This point is the most important of the choice, because it allows the
|
||
undestanding, adaptation, correction, distribution, improvement of the
|
||
software.
|
||
|
||
Reliability
|
||
That quality is derived from the previous one: the free software is the
|
||
combined result of the experience and the intelligence of all the
|
||
participants. Its reliability increases then as time passes, with all the
|
||
corrections which are made. More over, no marketing pression requires the
|
||
software's producer to deliver it to its customers before it is in a
|
||
satisfactory state.
|
||
|
||
Portability
|
||
This quality is not intrinsic to free software, but is very often seen
|
||
in a free software. Indeed if a softawre meets success, it will
|
||
necessarily be adapted to other environments than those initialy
|
||
considered. Thus by increasing its disponibility, its portability and
|
||
reliability are also increased. linux works today on a HP Jornada or IBM
|
||
watch, as well as on s390 or SuperDome.
|
||
|
||
Universality
|
||
One essential quality of free software is the character naturaly
|
||
universal of the data format used. Even if they don't follow standards,
|
||
the availibility of the source code assures the user that he will
|
||
understand them, and more over be able to write any filter needed to
|
||
reuse these data or exchange them with other software. This allows also
|
||
users to stabilize their environment, because they are not required to
|
||
migrate due to incompatibility of data formats in their applications.
|
||
Don't forget that your data are precious ans thet it's better to archive
|
||
them under a *ML format (HTML, XML, SGML, ...) rther than a proprietary
|
||
one.
|
||
|
||
Performance
|
||
Resulting from a lot of examinations, the use of algorithms coming from
|
||
advanced research works, as well as tested by various usages, free
|
||
software have good performances by nature. Frequently large portions of
|
||
code are rewritten to allow the reuse of the original ideas with a better
|
||
code and thus to increase performances. Several tests made by various
|
||
organisms tend to prove it also
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Once more, there is no obligation to diffuse an application whose
|
||
performances would be bad.
|
||
|
||
Interoperability
|
||
Interoperability is a reality of today's enterprises. Historically,
|
||
Unix environment was always a ferment for interoperability with other
|
||
systems (big or medium size systems, as well as personal computers). The
|
||
support in Linux, for example, of a lot of network protocols, filesystem
|
||
formats, and even binary compatibility modes assures a good
|
||
interoperability. By the way, interoperability requires 2 actors, and
|
||
having only one open is generally not sufficient. That's the goal of
|
||
having RFCs, norms, standards, ...
|
||
|
||
Reactivity
|
||
When considering the more and more longer development cycles of the
|
||
software editors, the reactivity brought by the free software movement is
|
||
interesting for a lot of sites, concerned by the rapid obtention of
|
||
corrections to a given problem. Thus, during the recent discoveries of IP
|
||
problems (ping of the death,...), patches were always available within
|
||
the next 3 days. And above that, only the patch correcting the hole found
|
||
was delivered. There were no functionality added, which could have create
|
||
other instabilities.
|
||
|
||
Security
|
||
The best computing security possible is ensured by a robust
|
||
construction, public and reknown algorithms, a quick communication around
|
||
flaws, ... In other words by transparency. Obscurity is in this domain
|
||
bad, useless and even dangerous. In the free software world, the
|
||
reactivity described in the previous paragraph is a garanty of increased
|
||
security, ... at the condition that patches are applied regularly.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Independantly of its qualities, it's possible to give other reasons of
|
||
various nature, in favor of free software, depending on the type of the
|
||
person met.
|
||

|
||
2.2.2.1. Marketing argumentation
|
||
|
||
Studies from IDC bring to light the irresistible rise of Linux as a server
|
||
operating system. In 1998, Linux is credited with 17% of market share, with
|
||
an increase of 212%, which is the most important in that domain. The
|
||
following graphics give the whole market share repartition.
|
||
|
||
Figure 2-1. Server operating system repartition in 1998 (IDC).
|
||
|
||
[idc1998]
|
||
|
||
This was confirmed in 1999 with a market share climbing to 24% and an
|
||
ancrease of 93%, always more than four times the increase of the follower.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Figure 2-2. Server operating system repartition in 1999 (IDC).
|
||
|
||
[idc1999]
|
||
|
||
Dataquest [http://gartner6.gartnerweb.com/dq/static/about/press/
|
||
pr-b9939.html] estimates on its side that Linux servers will represent, with
|
||
1.1 million of units, 14% of the servers sold in 2003.
|
||
|
||
The Net itself produces marketing tools to demonstrate the superiority of
|
||
free software. Counters are regularly updated by [http://www.netcraft.com/
|
||
survey/] Netcraft and others, on web server software, and another was done by
|
||
[http://www.leb.net/hzo/ioscount/index.html] IOS Counter for the servers on
|
||
Internet. Results, reproduced below, show the importance taken by [http://
|
||
www.apache.org] Apache with more than 16 millions of operational sites (among
|
||
them 30% run Linux), crushing the competition, as well as the free operating
|
||
systems Linux and *BSD which dominate the world of Internet servers.

A detailed explanation based on the most precise numbered results is also
|
||
regularly updated, showing the advantages to use free and open source
|
||
software, Cf: [http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html] http://
|
||
www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.2.2. Financial argumentation
|
||
|
||
Financial factors also speak for free software. And first the price to
|
||
aquire them is low. Low, because it's never zero. Even if you can find it on
|
||
the Internet, you have to consider the costs related to that link. However
|
||
costs are greatly less expensive than for commercial software. So a RedHat
|
||
7.2 Linux distribution, delivered with more than 1400 software packages,
|
||
costs about 60 USD when you have to pay more than 800 USD to obtain Windows
|
||
2000 server, delivered only with IIS.
|
||
|
||
On the other side, free software don't have the notion of license by user
|
||
or by supplmentary service. Thus there is no additional cost when you have to
|
||
increase the use of these software in your entity. That's of course not the
|
||
case with commercial software whose economical logic is often based on the
|
||
number of licenses.
|
||
|
||
Free software bring in addition a better mastering of the TCO (Total Cost
|
||
of Ownership), mentionned so frequently in the massive deployment of personal
|
||
computers. Thus administration costs are reduced because systems like Linux
|
||
or FreeBSD, as Unix, are managed completely remotely, either through command
|
||
line orders (with telnet or ssh) or in graphical mode by using X-Window. More
|
||
over, we benefit from a true multi-users mode, improving these management
|
||
operations. Always in this domain, it's also possible to do remote
|
||
management, either through the own hardware capacities of the machine (as the
|
||
Remote Assistant card integrated in most HP NetServers), or by doing a remote
|
||
connexion (through modem, ISDN adapter or a permanent link) thanks to the
|
||
native PPP protocol and secure connexion systems as tunneling or ssh. This
|
||
managemnt could even be realised by an external entity, in outsourcing.
|
||
|
||
At last, the costs due to the hardware themselves could be controled; on
|
||
one side, if by chance free software don't meet the needs, it's always
|
||
possible to buy then commercial software solutions to cover the rest on the
|
||
same hardware. On the other side, solutions based on free software have good
|
||
performances by nature, and can use hardware platforms which would be
|
||
considered as obsolete, if installed following the standard criterias of
|
||
other operating systems or applications. The fact to separate the graphical
|
||
interface from the rest of the working system is here key. It's so possible
|
||
to use "old" hardware, mainly to model. It's then possible to invest, with a
|
||
fine knowledge, when puting the solution in operation, if needed. The power
|
||
increase may naturaly take place progressively.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.2.3. Technical argumentation
|
||
|
||
This argumentation was already given in the previous sections. I think
|
||
nevertheless that some notions may be explained with complementary
|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
So concerning the reliability aspects of free software based solutions,
|
||
it's important to note that it implies an operational running time very high
|
||
(standard characteristic of Unix systems in general). This is mesured by the
|
||
command uptime. One of Medasys and HP customers, Saint-Michel Hospital in
|
||
Paris, has a Vectra VL5 acting as router under Linux since more than 300
|
||
days. And that's not a isolated case.
|
||
|
||
Respect of standards and norms, as well as the extreme portability of free
|
||
software assures also to applications developed on these platforms the same
|
||
qualities. And notably, if after their use, the performances or services
|
||
brought by free software based architectures were insufficient (it may be
|
||
caused by architecture problems such as PCI bandwidth, number of processors
|
||
available, ...), it would be easy to migrate to machines offering more
|
||
performances and capacities of evolution, as the HP 9000 systems, running
|
||
HP-UX.
|
||
|
||
At last a development plan centered around performances implies a
|
||
modularity, such as it's possible to resize the system kernel nearest to the
|
||
capacities of the hardware or to use dynamically loaded modules following the
|
||
needs. A packages installation may vary from 40 MB for a minimal system up to
|
||
many GB for a complete distribution. The system linearity allow also the
|
||
support of multi-processors machines (SMP) (tested up to 32 processors on a
|
||
Sparc machine). The system modularity allows also to obtain an operational
|
||
system on a 1.44 MB floppy disk, either to realize a minimal repair
|
||
environment, or to provide a perfectly operational router. The world of
|
||
embedded systems shows besides more and more interest for systems such as
|
||
Linux, because above it's modularity, source availability makes communication
|
||
with dedicated peripherals easier (acquisition cards, sonde, ...). Entities
|
||
as CERN or Thomson already use such solutions.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.2.4. Solutions argumentation
|
||
|
||
That argumentation is probably the most important of all, because it's
|
||
useless to have free software if it's not to make something useful with it or
|
||
to offer solutions to demands of entities willing to use it. In which sectors
|
||
free softawre may bring solutions today ? Well, you have to admit it's in
|
||
nearly all the sectors of enterprise computing.
|
||
|
||
Historically, Open Source Software were used to realise Internet/Intranet
|
||
servers, because their growth was following the one of the Net. It's so
|
||
possible to cover all aspects linked to the Internet, from the Web server (
|
||
[http://www.apache.org] Apache ), FTP server ([http://www.landfield.com/
|
||
wu-ftpd] Wu-Ftpd), DNS server ([http://www.isc.org/bind.html] Bind), the
|
||
E-Mail server ([http://www.sendmail.org] Sendmail or [http://www.postfix.org]
|
||
PostFix ), the Usenet groups server ([http://www.isc.org/inn.html] INN), the
|
||
proxy server ([http://juanjox.linuxhq.com/] IPmasqadm), the firewall ([http:/
|
||
/www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/] IPChains or [http://netfilter.samba.org]
|
||
IPTables), Virtual Private Network ([http://www.openssh.com/] OpenSSH), the
|
||
Cache server for the Web ( [http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/] Squid ) or also
|
||
the Time server ([http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp] NTP) or as directory
|
||
service([http://www.openldap.org] LDAP) server, or as content management
|
||
([http://www.midgard.org] Midgard) server ... All these software are
|
||
available in standard in a Linux distribution. The client computer should be
|
||
equiped with the software corresponding to the application used (mail reader,
|
||
news reader, web browser, ...) whatever its operating system. The choice of
|
||
the client is free, as all these tools respect the standards decreed in the
|
||
[ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/rfc] RFCs.
|
||
|
||
The second preferential domain for free software is the file and print
|
||
server domain. For these services, clients may be multiple: Unix type (use of
|
||
[ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir] NFS and [ftp://
|
||
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc/] KNFS or also [http://
|
||
www.coda.cs.cmu.edu] Coda and [http://www.inter-mezzo.org] Inter-Mezzo, for
|
||
file sharing and of lpd or [http://www.cups.org] CUPS for print service),
|
||
Microsoft Windows type (use of [http://www.samba.org] SaMBa , which allows
|
||
also the use of local client printers), Novell type (use of [http://
|
||
www.compu-art.de/mars_nwe] Mars_nwe) or MacIntosh type (use of [http://
|
||
www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk] NetAtalk). All these software are provided in
|
||
standard in a Linux distribution and don't need any modification at the
|
||
client level to work.
|
||
|
||
The other domains where a system such as Linux may bring solutions is the
|
||
computation one, with support of [http://www.irisa.fr/prive/mentre/smp-faq/]
|
||
multiprocessor, linked to the realisation of [http://hp-linux.cern.ch/]
|
||
clusters with multiple nodes with [http://www.mosix.org] Mosix or [http://
|
||
www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Beowulf-HOWTO.html] BeoWulf with high-speed network
|
||
interfaces (100 Mbit/s, [http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/index.html
|
||
#gigabit] Gigabit or [http://lhpca.univ-lyon1.fr/myri.html] Myrinet); those
|
||
of data security with the support of HP NetRaidRem. cards, allowing Raid
|
||
level of 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 50, and HotSpare disks, managed by the harware;
|
||
those of centralized fax server, with a free software like [http://
|
||
www.hylafax.org] HylaFAX or also as an archive/backup server with HP
|
||
SureStore DAT or DLT libraries thanks to a GPL software like [http://
|
||
www.amanda.org] Amanda or a commercial one like [http://www.arkeia.com]
|
||
Arkeia or at last as a database server with free solutions like [http://
|
||
www.postgreSQL.org/] PostgreSQL,[http://www.mysql.org/] MySQL or commercial
|
||
like [http://platforms.oracle.com/linux/index_lin.htm] Oracle, to speak only
|
||
of these three.
|
||
|
||
On the client side, even if it's less highlighted for the moment,
|
||
possibilities to use solutions based on free or commercial software are
|
||
numerous. Here also the Internet part is the main one, with tools like
|
||
graphical web browsers ([ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/] Netscape,
|
||
[http://www.mozilla.org] Mozilla or [http://www.konqueror.org] Konqueror) or
|
||
textual ([http://www.cc.ukans.edu/about_lynx/about_lynx.html] lynx or [http:/
|
||
/www.w3m.org] w3m), a lot of graphical mail readers ([http://

to generate from a single source the formats HTML, Txt, RTF, PostScript, and
|

|
||
|
||
2.2.2.5. Service argumentation
|
||
|
||
This one was for a long time a blocking point to the expansion of free
|
||
software in the firms. It's not the case today. Many service providers or
|
||
hardware manufacturers, like HP, control today these solutions and propose
|
||
support around them, uoto missions critical if requested.
|
||
|
||
Other sources of information are also available, in abundance, through
|
||
several web sites dedicated to these solutions, specialised mailing-lists,
|
||
and various Usenet groups, such as for Linux, the international groups under
|
||
comp.os.linux.* or for the french speaking people under fr.comp.os.linux.*.
|
||
|
||
Concerning competences, more and more young engineers or academics finish
|
||
their learning cycle being trained to the use of free applications and
|
||
operating systems. This wealth of competences arrives now on the labour
|
||
market and will contribute to increase the movement of generalisation of
|
||
these tools. At last, many firms have internaly ignored competences. In fact,
|
||
their employees often install this software at home, and have a good
|
||
mastering, usable when arrives the deployment of the software in their
|
||
professional structure.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.2.3. Wrong ideas on free software
|
||
|
||
Advocating free software consists also to mention some generally accepted
|
||
ideas concerning them and to fight them.
|
||
|
||
"There is no support, no training"
|
||
As seen previously, support is currently structuring itself. A firm
|
||
like [http://www.redhat.com] RedHat provides today support for their
|
||
solutions. Only in France, we may mention firms like [http://
|
||
www.medasys.fr] Medasys , [http://www.atrid.fr] Atrid, [http://
|
||
www.alcove.fr] Alcove which assure support on free software. Likewise,
|
||
always in France, training on free software may be given by [http://
|
||
www.france.hp.com/formation] HP France, [http://www.learningtree.com/fr/
|
||
index.htm] Learning Tree, the [http://form-continue.iut-velizy.uvsq.fr/]
|
||
IUT de Vélizy, without mentioning generic network and Unix trainings
|
||
(besides proposed also by the same organizations) which represent a
|
||
fundamental base in a training course. And at last, we should mention the
|
||
ability of each of us to self-train, mainly thanks to the huge
|
||
documentation available (See the Chapter 7).
|
||
|
||
"There is no documentation"
|
||
There is a whole set of manuals, the [http://www.linuxdoc.org] Linux
|
||
Documentation Project, made of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and
|
||
HOWTO, counting more than 300 documents around Linux, the main being
|
||
[http://www.traduc.org] translated in french, and [ftp://ftp.linet.gr.jp:
|
||
/pub/howto-translations] in japanese available as free documentation.
|
||
This documentation has a various quality, more or less up to date,
|
||
following the subjects, certainly but it makes a corpus allowing to
|
||
apprehend alone a Linux distribution and all its components. For myself,
|
||
I always found in it everything I needed to do my job with free software.
|
||
And, in case of complementary information, a lot of web sites and Usenet
|
||
groups may again bring some of the elements needed. And without counting
|
||
the innumerable manual pages available on line. Each distribution comes
|
||
also with a comprehensive set of manual covering all the tasks of
|
||
installing, handling and managing them.
|
||
|
||
On the other side, the editors [http://www.editions-oreilly.fr]
|
||
O'Reilly and [http://www.ssc.com] SSC have specialised in providing books
|
||
around free software, written generaly by the writers of the software
|
||
themselves. Their books are considered as reference books in their
|
||
respective domains.
|
||
|
||
"A free or nearly free product is a toy"
|
||
You should always make a difference between free (as speech) and free
|
||
(as beer). Too many freeware in Microsoft environment are in fact toys
|
||
and of poor quality. It's absolutely not the case for free software, as
|
||
stated in the previous sections. Remember just that they are reliable by
|
||
construction.
|
||
|
||
"Linux is difficult to install"
|
||
Linux is a professional operating system. At that title, it requires
|
||
competences to install it, as well as any other professional operating
|
||
system, like the other Unix or Windows NT for example. But it isn't more
|
||
difficult to install than those either, mainly thanks to distributions as
|
||
RedHat, Mandrake, ... You need about 30 minutes to realize a complete
|
||
installation of such distributions, so quite the same as for HP-UX and
|
||
noticeably less than for Windows NT Server.
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, as before installing a server with Windows NT you
|
||
have to verify its compatibility with the [http://www.microsoft.com/HCL]
|
||
Hardware Compatibility List of Microsoft, for Linux it's also greatly
|
||
recommended to verify the [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/
|
||
Hardware-HOWTO.html] Hardware HOWTO, and for HP machines to refer to
|
||
Section 3.2.
|
||
|
||
"Free Software are not adequate for heavy tasks"
|
||
This is less and less true and this criticism has been obsoleted with
|
||
the latest versions of the Linux kernel which will include a journalised
|
||
filesystem, allowing a true application cluster. But already Linux
|
||
authorises the use of multi-processors, several nodes to realise
|
||
computation clusters. And don't forget it's used by the portal [http://
|
||
www.voila.fr] Voila (France Telecom) or the engine [http://
|
||
www.google.com] Google among other prestigious references. As well,
|
||
FreeBSD is used with success as the world biggest ftp server : [ftp://
|
||
ftp.cdrom.com] Walnut Creek CDROM server Useful projects to consult in
|
||
this area of high availability are [http://www.linux-vs.org] http://
|
||
www.linux-vs.org, [http://www.opengfs.org] http://www.opengfs.org and
|
||
[http://www.linux-ha.org] http://www.linux-ha.org
|
||
|
||
"What appeal do I have in case of problem with the editors ?"
|
||
There is no appeal, because software licences deny all responsabilities
|
||
for the writers, in case of problem. But, in reality developers are
|
||
always ready to help in case of problem and try to correct as soon as
|
||
possible the bugs encountered (for the F00F bug of the pentium, a patch
|
||
for the Linux kernel was published within 3 days, for example). On the
|
||
other side, commercial editors guarantee very badly users against
|
||
problems other than packaging errors. Please read the notes furnished
|
||
with your software to judge.
|
||
|
||
|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
2.2.4. Real problems around free software
|
||
|
||
It would not be honest to negate certain remaining problems linked to free
|
||
software. Some have begun to disappear, other are inherent to the system,
|
||
other at last will take time to diappear.
|
||
|
||
The first problem, inherent to the model of free software, is the
|
||
multiplicity of tools and distributions available. So, if you want to setup a
|
||
mail server, you have to choose between Sendmail, Exim, PostFix, Qmail,
|
||
Smail. As well if you want to install Linux, you may choose between the
|
||
distributions [http://www.redhat.com] RedHat , [http://www.suse.de] SuSE,
|
||
[http://www.slackware.com] Slackware, [http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en]
|
||
Mandrake, [http://www.turbolinux.com] Turbo Linux, [http://www.debian.org]
|
||
Debian. This represents often a problem for the newcomer, but the esperienced
|
||
user will always prefer to have a large choice he will confront to his
|
||
particularities and to his experience. As long as an actor respects the rules
|
||
by freeing his code (it's the case of the rpm and deb formats for example),
|
||
there is little risk from the comunity point of view. The key point is that
|
||
the choice is made only taking in account technical criterias.
|
||
|
||
The second problem, inherent also to the free software birth, is the
|
||
necessity to have strong Unix and Internet competences, to manage such
|
||
solutions. The power available through these systems is proportional to the
|
||
competence of their administrators. And that will stay true even with the
|
||
growth of more and more grahical solutions to manage them. On the other side,
|
||
you capitalize the investment in time to learn their functions and that
|
||
doesn't disappear, because you don't have to re-learn eveything from one
|
||
version to the other (I use the same editor, vi, for the last 15 years).
|
||
Don't forget that systems you use daily seem to be simple, uniquely because
|
||
you passed enough time to learn them. For Internet competences, it's a
|
||
statement of the obvious to say that this investment isn't lost. At last,
|
||
even with the work of translators to provide information in french and other
|
||
languages, a good knowledge in technical english is definitively a plus.
|
||
|
||
The last problem met in the implementation of free software solutions is to
|
||
suceed in convincing some managers to go against the prevailing opinion. The
|
||
aim of this chapter is precisely to give all sorts of argumentations to
|
||
achieve that goal, but you need each time to show conviction to get his way
|
||
in the end. As soon as these solutions will be adopted by big firms
|
||
principaly, resistances will disappear.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.3. Linux and other operating systems
|
||
|
||
The aim is not to examine completely or to compare the functions of the
|
||
various operating systems available. It's more upon looking at the respective
|
||
positions of Linux in comparaison with other systems. Only systems having a
|
||
sufficient representation on the market are considered.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.3.1. Linux and other proprietary Unix (HP-UX, Tru64, AIX, Solaris, Irix)
|
||
|
||
The situation taken by all the hardware manufacturers places Linux today in
|
||
the entry level (when it's taken in account) and their own Unix system in the
|
||
middle and high level. Reality is sometimes more cruel than the situation
|
||
wanted by the marketing department :-). Technically, a Linux distribution has
|
||
no cause to be envious of the manufacturers Unix solutions, except for the
|
||
moment the set of commercial applications and some high-end hardware
|
||
configuration support. And we can often see that users dope their Unix
|
||
workstations with free software to complete their usage.
|
||
|
||
To be precise in the talk, we should consider manufacturers Unix solutions
|
||
as split in stations and servers.
|
||
|
||
On the station side, there's no doubt in my mind: for a customer, the only
|
||
reason today to buy one is linked to the availability of a software or a
|
||
hardware which wouldn't exist in the free environment, or due to intrinsic
|
||
performances of the machine. In the first case, we can see that this argument
|
||
should have a short life time, because logically every software editor
|
||
(except maybe hardware manufacturers) and every hardware manufacturer has
|
||
interest in porting their applications or allowing the use of their hardware
|
||
on all the major environments in the market. As shown by Oracle, Informix,
|
||
Sybase, ... Linux becomes today one of the major environments. In the second
|
||
case, the difference in term of performances between the Linux dominant
|
||
platform (IA-32) and the other competitors decreases and will disappear with
|
||
the generalisation of the IA-64 architecture, which seems to be adopted
|
||
largely by a majority of actors. More over, Linux is often available natively
|
||
on the processors of these actors (Sparc, Mips, PowerPC, 68xxx, Alpha,
|
||
Crusoe, PA-Risc). I think Linux may represent the famous unique and standard
|
||
Unix that everybody dreamed of from a long time, without succeeding to impose
|
||
it (the open and free characteristics brought by Linux are not without
|
||
influence on that). I think that at the end hardware manufacturer Unix
|
||
workstations will be restricted to some niches such as high end computation,
|
||
virtual reality, ... and that as long as solutions are not available on a
|
||
free environment. Linux offers all the functional qualities of the other Unix
|
||
systems, and thus of the workstation, on a more various hardware platform and
|
||
potentially at a better price, if on PCs. So it is the natural choice of
|
||
every computer engineer with a strong Unix culture (old customer of the
|
||
workstation) who will prefer that solution to the migration to a Microsoft
|
||
system typically. With IA-64, we can see that Linux was the first operating
|
||
system available (including graphical support).
|
||
|
||
On the server side, in addtion to the points mentionned previously for the
|
||
stations, problems are more complex. Ram, disks, processors capacities,
|
||
extensions of every kind make them difficultly repleacable by machines with a
|
||
IA-32 architecture for example. More over, certain solutions such as high
|
||
availability clusters for example have just been put in production in a Linux
|
||
environment, compared to years of operation under Unix. The other brake is
|
||
often linked to investments already done around software solutions deployed
|
||
on these servers. Whatever their natural life time is much higher than those
|
||
of the stations. Changes will thus be made more slowly in that domain. Here
|
||
we can consider rightly Linux solutions as an entry/middle level solutions,
|
||
when hardware manufacturer Unix servers are the middle/high level. The
|
||
introduction of Linux in place of these machines will begin only with a
|
||
massive availability of applications, mainly in the management sector. Again
|
||
IA-64, with increased SMP capabilities (16 processors today), higher
|
||
bandwidth, ... will make things change.
|
||
|
||
The advantages of the hardware manufacturer solutions, explaining why they
|
||
are so often chosen when applications are critical, are linked to the
|
||
homogeneity of the solution (hardware and software mastered by the same
|
||
entity, which can't invoke a third party in case of problem), and to the
|
||
support and maintenance guarantees furnished.
|
||
|
||
Finally, there is not so much antagonism between these systems, because
|
||
they are full cousins. Their association allows today to computer teams
|
||
"pro-Unix" to have solutions from start to finish, without having to lose in
|
||
functions, as it's so often the case with other operating systems available
|
||
for personal computers.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.3.2. Linux and SCO/Caldera
|
||
|
||
The comparaison between Linux and the SCO systems seems to me quite
|
||
unbalanced. First, all the previous points are vaild here also. More over,
|
||
SCO isn't a hardware manufacturer, so the homogeneity advantage disappears.
|
||
The IA-32 Intel platform is supported by both systems, so cost is identical.
|
||
On the other hand, the software solution has a disproportionate cost (few
|
||
software provided in the base install, thus a lot of expenses to extend, as
|
||
well as to increase the number of users). Having to manage one OpenServer, I
|
||
can say that performances are far beyond those of a Linux system. More over,
|
||
its conception is older, abounds of symbolic links which makes management
|
||
complex. The hardware supported by SCO is less numerous than those Linux
|
||
supports. Only stay as an advantage the installed base and the set of
|
||
applications available. But for how long ? Caldera now owns both SCO software
|
||
(Openserver and Unixware) and its own Linux distribution. But instead of
|
||
trying to free technologies from SCO, they are proprietarizing their linux (1
|
||
license per server).
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
2.3.3. Linux and Windows NT/2000/XP
|
||
|
||
The comparaison is here more difficult, because Windows NT/2000/XP isn't an
|
||
open system, as the precedings, which is already redhibitory for certain
|
||
users. An excellent [http://unix-vs-nt.org/kirch/] comparaison was made by
|
||
John Kirch between Unix and Windows NT Server. I recommend to people
|
||
searching to have an enlightened opinion on this subject to read it; it's
|
||
updated regularly and was written by a specialist of both Microsoft and Unix
|
||
operating systems. Financially, obvious advantage for the free software. And
|
||
it's more obvious, as for SCO, if you consider the set of complementary
|
||
software you need to use a server. The author evaluates the difference from 1
|
||
to 100 all the same ! Technically, either on the functions provided or on the
|
||
reliability, the administration, the performances, the hardware supported,
|
||
and more over the security, Unix systems and particularly free systems
|
||
outperform what is proposed by Windows NT/2000/XP. The fact to have a GUI non
|
||
independant from the kernel contributes greatly to the instability of NT/2000
|
||
/XP, because it's more difficult to avoid errors in a GUI (there is no
|
||
mastering possible of the user comportment in front of it) rather than in a
|
||
kernel.
|
||
|
||
Which are the real advantages of Windows NT ?: the marketing power of
|
||
Microsoft which persuades the world that computers equal Windows and which
|
||
leans on the enormous installed base; its office applications (a monopolistic
|
||
situation on the market) only available in this environment; the confusion
|
||
maintained between the various flavours of Windows (95/98, NT, 2000), and
|
||
between the server and client functions; its agreements with the biggest
|
||
hardware manufacturers which often require them to provide a Microsoft system
|
||
with their platforms; its technological initiatives to occupy the market in
|
||
first, based on proprietary code and that often without respect of known or
|
||
documented standards, or its policy to embrace for killing a movement
|
||
(described in the [http://www.opensource.org/halloween.html] "Haloween
|
||
documents").
|
||
|
||
The lack of hegemony in the servers sector is the best reason to hope that
|
||
a plurality of solutions may exist in the future for computers users, also at
|
||
the desktop. The new XP licensing schema, the passport tool, the registering
|
||
mechanism during installation are real brakes for users thinking to migrate
|
||
from a current platform to a new one, as well as the hardware costs linked.
|
||
In that perspective, an opensource solution should and will be more and more
|
||
considered.

Chapter 3. Linux and HP products
|
||
|
||
To maintain such a chapter is an endless task :-).
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.1. Informations on HP products and Linux
|
||
|
||
3.1.1. General information
|
||
|
||
HP became recently concious of the importance taken by Linux and free
|
||
software in general, and on its machines particularly. Thus a web site
|
||
dedicated to Linux in HP environment is now available at [http://www.hp.com/
|
||
go/linux] http://www.hp.com/go/linux.
|
||
|
||
In France, there is for a longer time a site on these themes, under the
|
||
responsability of Jacques Misselis <Jacques_Misselis@hp.com>, hosted by
|
||
[http://www.ec-lyon.fr] l'École Centrale de Lyon at the address [http://
|
||
hpwww.ec-lyon.fr/hpeduc/education] http://hpwww.ec-lyon.fr/hpeduc/education.
|
||
|
||
On the other side, the firm Medasys for which I worked between 1996 and
|
||
2000, put at disposition of the community a certain number of information
|
||
since 1997, available at [http://www.medasys.fr/linux] http://www.medasys.fr/
|
||
linux. This HOWTO is the result of this work.
|
||
|
||
HP also realised a synthesis document (PDF format) concerning his position
|
||
in front of Linux, the [http://www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Docs/
|
||
white-paper.pdf] White Paper HP Linux Strategy (1999-04).
|
||
|
||
HP is a member or sponsor of [http://www.li.org] Linux International,[http:

3.2. HP hardware supported by Linux
|
||
|
||
This section presents HP hardware supported today by Linux. Informations
|
||
are based on the latest stable version of the Linux kernel, which is
|
||
currently version 2.4.16. A development kernel (version 2.5) is also
|
||
available but doesn't offer any guarantee of stability.
|
||

|
||
3.2.1. Intel based computer range
|
||
|
||
Page last updated the 2001-12-21.
|
||
|
||
That computer range is today the main set of HP machines supported by
|
||
Linux, and that till many years. In case you didn't already do it before,
|
||
some preliminaty readings are recommended before to try to install Linux on
|
||
these platforms.
|
||
|
||
The [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO.html] Linux
|
||
Installation HOWTO contains a great number of information to install Linux.
|
||
If you bought linux on a CD-ROM, chances are that installation instructions
|
||
are provided with it (the little booklet inside the disk case, and/or files
|
||
on the CD).
|
||
|
||
The [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html] Linux Kernel HOWTO
|
||
should be read to have details on kernel construction. I will just mention
|
||
here points which are specific to HP hardware.
|
||
|
||
Outside particular indication, Linux support means during the installation
|
||
of a RedHat/Mandrake type distribution. In special cases, a kernel rebuild
|
||
will be necessary to support completely some hardware elements. You should
|
||
note that what is true for one distribution is generally true for another, as
|
||
these functions are linked to the kernel or the XFree86 server, and not to
|
||
the distribution itself.
|
||
|
||
In case of problem, the first reflex should be to update the BIOS of the HP
|
||
machine, and to verify whether the problem is always there. If yes, you may
|
||
then contact HP support, if your configuration is supported by HP (This
|
||
document focus on what is working, superset of what is supported, and has no
|
||
value in that area). On the other hand, if your machine is working correctly,
|
||
don't update the BIOS without reason, this is always a risked operation. BIOS
|
||
updates are available from [http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html] http:

3.2.1.1. The desktop range (Brio, Vectra, Kayak)
|
||
|
||
HP has a new program called "Freedom of Choice" on the whole desktop range.
|
||
Linux is thus one of the operating systems pushed by HP. Cf: [http://
|
||
www.hp.com/desktops/linux/] http://www.hp.com/desktops/linux/ and [http://
|
||
www.hp.com/pressrel/aug00/14aug00.htm] http://www.hp.com/pressrel/aug00/
|

14aug00.htm.
|
||
|
||
A [http://www.hp.com/desktops/linux/linuxfaq.html] FAQ is also available.
|
||
|
||
HP insures the support of certified Linux hardware by the following method
|
||
: all the machines have the [http://www.support.vectra.hp.com/vectrasupport/
|
||
indexes/Driver39.html] Diagtool utility. If this utility indicates a problem,
|
||
it's taken in account by HP maintenance. If it doesn't, it's considered as a
|
||
software problem and should be reported to the distribution provider.
|
||
|
||
The following tables indicate the state of Linux support by these platforms

|
||
|
||
Visualize systems come in two flavors: the p and x class systems are
|
||
preinstalled, supported, and configured with Windows; the pl and xl class
|
||
systems are preinstalled, supported, and configured with Linux. There is no
|
||
hardware difference between the base systems, but the Linux image that is
|
||
preinstalled on the pl and xl is customized so that all drivers for the
|
||
systems are preconfigured -- there's no need to specify or tune the box and
|
||
drivers.

CD-ROM, DVD and ZIP drives are supported by Linux kernel. Read the various
|
||
HOWTO for their use, following the interface type.
|
||
|
||
There are 4 supported graphics cards with XFree86 on HP x2000 and x40000
|
||
systems with Linux: SynergyPlus, Synergy2, Matrox G450, and FireGL2/4. There
|
||
are also 4 rpms that are associated with these cards and they must be present
|
||
on your system in order to have a supported graphics environment:
|
||
synergyplus, synergy2, firegl2 and mgag450. For example, to check for the
|
||
existence of the firegl2 rpm, run
|
||
#rpm -q firegl2
|
||
|
||
Once you have installed the new card and rebooted, run /usr/X11R6/bin/
|
||
graphicsconfig to configure the card. If it is a recognized card supported by
|
||
your Linux system, the function will return the name of the card and it will
|
||
be configured to run. At this point you may start up your X window
|
||
environment.
|
||
|
||
If it returns "UNKNOWN", then your graphics card either is not one of the 4
|
||
currently supported cards, or it is a newer/older version of the card than is
|
||
supported. In either case you will need to run Xconfigurator to set it up.

3.2.1.5. The mobile computer range (OmniBook)
|
||
|
||
To suspend to disk the current session, you need to not have deleted the
|
||
hibernation partition (type a0), which size should be the size of the RAM, to
|
||
have support for APM in the kernel, and to use the key combination Fn+F12.
|
||
|
||
To send the video signal, either to an external screen, or through the
|
||
docking station, it is be necessary to add the following parameter to your
|
||
XFree86 configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config:
|
||
[...]
|
||
Section "Device"
|
||
[...]
|
||
Options "crt_screen"
|
||
[...]
|
||
This concerns mobile computers using ATI chipsets. The switch is done by
|
||
pressing simultaneously on Fn-F5.
|
||
|
||
Most of the OmniBook have in option a "Port Replicator" system allowing,
|
||
according to the model, to support PCI cards, complementary ports, ...

For TopTools Remote Control Cards (TTRCC), the B.02.02 firmware release
|
||
shows some strange symptoms at boot time, namely you get no data in your
|
||
browser (Netscape on Linux) until way past selftest and LILO, so it's kind of
|
||
hard to boot an alternate kernel. The fix is to 'downgrade' your firmware on
|
||
the TTRCC to B.02.00. You can see what revision you're running on the
|
||
TopTools 'Identity Screen'. You can flash the eeprom on the TTRCC anytime
|
||
(unless you really want to make a DOS floppy and reboot) by tftping the right
|
||
firmware (ttrc0200.bin) in the 'Configuration' tab -> 'Card Info' area, and
|
||
press 'Update'. It takes a minute or so to download/verify/and reset the
|
||
TTRCC. (Information from Lee Mayes)

|
||
G100 card
|
||
To use the MGA G100 AGP card, with a version of XFree86 before the
|
||
3.3.2 one, you have to use an option in the file XF86Config : Option
|
||
"no_accel".
|
||
|
||
Section example :
|
||
Section "Device"
|
||
[...]
|
||
VendorName "Matrox"
|
||
VideoRam 4096
|
||
Option "no_accel"
|
||
EndSection
|
||
|
||
G450 card
|
||
This card can support up to two displays. These displays can be
|
||
configured in two different ways.
|
||
|
||
For uniquely independent screen operation, you can configure displays
|
||
for "multi-screen" work. In this mode, the X server reports two
|
||
independent screens for client connections. These are numbered using the
|
||
"minor" display number (e.g. <hostname>:0.0 and <hostname>:0.1). There is
|
||
no support to move client windows between the screens.
|
||
|
||
The other configuration option uses the XINERAMA extension. This
|
||
configuration links multiple screens to behave as one logical screen. In
|
||
this mode, the X server reports one screen for all client connections. X
|
||
clients can move between screens and the overall screen resolution is
|
||
doubled width or height depending upon the desired setup.
|
||
|
||
The following examples demonstrate these possibilities through the
|
||
configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :
|
||
Section "Device"
|
||

|

||
To enable the XINERAMA extension, you may use one of two ways. The first
|
||
is by adding a command-line option to the X server. This can be done as
|
||
follows:
|
||
#startx -- +xinerama
|
||
The second method is by adding an option to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :
|
||
Section "ServerFlags"
|
||
Option "Xinerama" "on"
|
||
EndSection
|
||
|
||
The Matrox driver supports several XFree86 options through the file /
|
||
etc/X11/XF86Config-4. The example below describes two such options that
|
||
contribute to improved graphics performance:
|
||
Section "Device"
|
||
Identifier "Matrox G450"
|
||
Driver "mga"
|
||
# Use this option to enable AGP 2X mode
|
||
# In default mode AGP 1x, the host to graphics bandwidth is about 500 MB/sec
|
||
# This will increase the host to graphics bandwidth to about 1 GB/sec
|
||
# This mode is recommended by HP for X2000/X4000
|
||
Option "AGPMode4x" "on"
|
||
# Use this option to enable AGP 4X mode
|
||
# This will increase the host to graphics bandwidth to about 2 GB/sec
|
||
# This mode is recommended by HP for X2000/X4000

To enable multi-screen with FireGL4, set the monitor resolution to a
|
||
supported multi-screen resolution like 2560x1024 in the /etc/X11/
|
||
XF86Config-4 file. The firegl driver recognizes this and sets up
|
||
multi-screen when the Xserver starts. Make sure you have two monitors set
|
||
up and connected to the two DVI ports on the FireGL4 card.
|
||
|
||
The firegl driver supports several XFree86 options through the file /
|
||
etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Values indicated in the example correspond to the
|
||
default values.

GD 5465 video card
|
||
To use a Cirrus Logic GD 5465 AGP card, with a version below Xfree86
|
||
3.3.3, you have to use an option in the file XF86Config : Option
|
||
"xaa_no_color_exp".
|
||
|
||
Section example :
|
||

Some users who had problems with the support of this chipset were more
|
||
satisfied with the use of the "sw_cursor" option.

||
Elsa Gloria Synergy card
|
||
Specifications of that card should be consulted on Elsa web site. This
|
||
card is equiped with an hardware OpenGL accelerator. Under Linux, there
|
||
is an OpenGL compatible layer called Mesa. This layer begins to support
|
||
hardware accelerators, and among them the 3DLabs chipset which is on Elsa
|
||
Gloria cards.

||
Silicon Motion LynxE card
|
||
This card is only supported by the 3.3.6 version of XFree86 and upper.
|
||
Nevertheless, even in that version, this is a preliminary support, which
|
||
isn't as stable as the Frame Buffer mode.
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, to be able to install a RedHat 6.1 version, you
|
||
should do that in text mode, because the server provided (3.3.5) doesn't
|
||
support this card.
|
||
|
||
If you have a dual-boot system, booting first on Windows, and
|
||
initialize the card through its driver seems to improve the operations
|
||
then under Linux (warm reboot).
|
||
|
||
Versions of XFree86 above 4.0.2 also offer the support of this chipset.

Intel i810/i815 card
|

(Informations provided by Frédéric Dubuy <F.Dubuy@atrid.fr>, Anne-Marie
|
||
Mahfouf <a-m.mahfouf@lineone.net> and Jean-Bernard Chaffardon <
|
||
Jean-Bernard_Chaffardon@hp.com>)
|
||
|
||
These cards are only supported with a specific X server XFCom_i810/5
|
||
downloadable in both format [ftp://download.intel.com/support/graphics/
|
||
intel815/xfcom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm] RPM or [ftp://download.intel.com/
|
||
support/graphics/intel810/xfcom_i810-1.2.patch.tar.gz] tar.gz and a
|
||
complementary module for the kernel agpgart, downloadable in both format
|
||
[ftp://download.intel.com/support/graphics/intel815/
|
||
i810gtt-0.2-4.src.rpm] SRPM or [ftp://download.intel.com/support/graphics
|
||
/intel810/i810gtt-0.1-6.src.tar.gz] tar.gz (old).
|
||
|
||
Detailed documentations on the installation are provided at [http://
|
||
www.linux-france.org/article/x/GuideIntel810/book1.html] http://

|
||
download.intel.com/support/graphics/intel815/release_linux.pdf
|
||
|
||
To summarize, once the X server installed, the module compiled and
|
||
installed, it's sufficient to modify with the following parameters the
|
||
file /etc/X11/XF86Config :
|
||
Section "Device"
|
||
[...]
|
||
Identifier "i810"
|
||
[...]
|
||
EndSection
|
||

|
||
Section "Screen"
|
||
[...]
|
||
Driver "svga"
|
||
Device "i810"
|
||
[...]
|
||
EndSection
|
||
|
||
You have to note that the agpgart module provided by Intel should
|
||
replace the one delivered in the kernel so that it works. You then have
|
||
to reinstall it, particularly when a kernel update occurs.
|
||
|
||
S3 Savage 4 card
|
||
This card is only supported with a specific X server downloadable at

Dual head with XFree86
|
||
It's possible to use XFree86 in dual-head mode. The following example
|
||
of configuration is provided by S. Eranian for a Matrox G200 AGP and a
|
||
ATI Rage 128 PCI card. "The key element is that you must specify the PCI
|
||
id for both cards."

D6692A card
|
||
To use the D6692A card, you need to use a 2.1.122 kernel at least.
|
||
Previous kernels didn't handled correctly the shared IRQ between the
|
||
network and SCSI parts of the card. In particular, a standard RedHat 5.2
|
||
version doesn't allow to the network part to be supported. You have to
|
||
update your kernel with a recent one (preferably 2.4.16) and the
|
||
distribution with the complementary packages needed.

e100 Intel driver
|
||
A driver is provided by Intel to support its cards based on the PRO/100
|
||
model, in its various versions. Depending on the model, you'll have a
|
||
better support with this one, or with the standard eepro100 provided in
|
||
the Linux kernel. It should allow a systematic support of the latest
|
||
models. It's available at [ftp://download.intel.com/df-support/2896/eng/

||
e100-1.6.22.tar.gz] ftp://download.intel.com/df-support/2896/eng/
|
||
e100-1.6.22.tar.gz
|
||
|
||
If you use the e100 driver, you could also use the ANS tools (Advanced
|
||
Network Services) allowing you to do AFT (Adapter Fault Tolerance), ALB
|
||
(Adaptive Load Balancing, including AFT), FEC or 802.3ad (Link
|
||
Aggregation). For more details on these modes, please refer to the file
|
||
associated with the file to download called readme.txt. It's available at

|
||
These models are delivered preloaded with a improved distribution based
|

|
||
|
||
XU800
|
||
On that machine, the Bios doesn't give the right amount of memory which
|
||
is in the machine to Linux. You need to use a line such as append="mem=
|
||
xxxM" at the begining of /etc/lilo.conf where xxx is your RAM in MB.
|
||
|
||
The support of "big size" IDE disks (for example, 27 GB disks provided
|
||
for the XU 800) on these machines needs a kernel 2.2.15 at least.
|
||
|
||
Omnibook XE
|
||
If you intend to use both the sound chipset and a PCMCIA card in this
|
||
laptop, in order to avoid conflicts at input/output ports level, you'll
|
||
have to modify the file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to change the line 6 to
|
||
include port 0x300-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
|
||
The NSC PC87108/338 chipset controlling IrDA on this model is supported
|
||
by the 2.4.16 kernel. (Source : [http://www.bits.bris.ac.uk/madmatt/
|
||
laptop.shtml] http://www.bits.bris.ac.uk/madmatt/laptop.shtml)

|
||
Some users had to apply the same tric for their Omnibook 4150 with
|
||
success.
|
||
|
||
Omnibook XE3
|
||
It is recommended to not launch /sbin/halt under X11. The integrated
|
||
modem card is not supported under Linux (ESS ES56CVM-PL).
|
||
|
||
The installation of a RedHat 6.2 distribution gives a problem when
|
||
rebooting the system, at the PCMCIA initialisation. You have to install
|
||
the latest version of the pcmcia-cs package at [ftp://
|
||
pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs/] ftp://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net
|
||
/pub/pcmcia-cs/
|
||
|
||
To use the network with this distribution, you need a tulip driver
|
||
modified by P. "goldpenguin" Depouilly, and available at [http://
|
||

Omnibook 4150
|
||
If you use the Adaptec APA-1480 SCSI PCMCIA card, It must be in the top
|
||
slot. If you don't put it in the top slot, the card that is in the top
|
||
slot will not work. Also, even though the APA-1480 was supported long
|
||
before this, the first time it worked on an Omnibook was kernel 2.2.16.
|
||
There was some problems with the earlier cardbus drivers and the
|
||
Omnibook. (Information from Bruce Kives)
|
||
|
||
Omnibook 6000
|
||
reboot doesn't work correctly on this machine, which remains blocked

B models
|
||
B models use Ultra 3 SCSI sym53c1010 (A models use ultra 2).
|
||
|
||
To use the native SCSI bus of this machine, it"s necessary to use the
|
||
sym53c8xx driver with a version upon 1.6c. A driver disk for RedHat

For the SuSE 7.0 distribution, you have to enter the manual mode to
|
||
load the driver, as autodetection doesn"t work correctly.
|
||
|
||
LC 2000
|
||
In order to use the native SCSI controler you need to disable in the
|
||
Bios the option "Reserve PCI Bus Numbers", in the menu PCI Device Setting
|
||
(Indication of Gillynn Couch). Models P3493B and P5364B are equiped with
|
||
an additional NetRaid 1M card.

|
||
|
||
LH 6000
|
||
In order to use the native SCSI controler you need to desactivate in
|
||
the Bios the "reserver PCI Bus #s", in the menu PCI Device Setting. The
|
||
PS/2 system doesn't work correctly with a RedHat 6.1 or 6.2 distribution.
|
||
In order to correct that you need to either put the machine in MPS 1.1,
|
||
in the BIOS, or use a kernel above 2.3.47 in MPS 1.4 mode. The network
|
||
card doesn't work correctly with the kernel of the RedHat 6.2
|
||
distribution.

This driver is provided with latest RedHat 7.1, 7.2/Mandrake 8.0, 8.1
|
||
distributions, as kernel patches, but isn't included yet in the standard
|
||
2.4 kernel.
|

|
||
Boot/Driver disk for RedHat distribution
|
||
To be able to boot with a RedHat distribution (>6.1), and to have the
|
||
recognition of a peripheral non supported in standard in the
|
||
distribution, you need to do the following :
|
||
|
||
Download the delopment toolkit to create driver disk for the RedHat
|
||
distribution at the following address: [http://people.redhat.com/
|
||
dledford] http://people.redhat.com/dledford
|
||
|
||
Install the sources of the driver in a directory and follow the
|
||
instructions of the README file of the kit to create the modules
|
||
necessary for the various kernel of the distributions.
|
||
|
||
Log as root. (~root)
|
||
put the RedHat floppy boot disk to modify in the drive
|
||
you have to copy the initrd.img file from the floppy disk
|
||
#mcopy a:initrd.img /tmp
|
||
then uncompress it
|
||
#gzip -cd /tmp/initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.ext2
|
||
Mount the "file" filesystem thus obtained
|
||
#mount -t ext2 /tmp/initrd.ext2 /mnt/floppy -o loop
|
||
create a temporary directory
|
||
#cd /tmp ; mkdir modules ; cd modules
|
||
uncompress and extract the modules provided
|
||
#gzip -cd /mnt/floppy/modules/modules.cgz | cpio -ivdum
|
||
Copy the new updated module. In case you add it, remove also other useless modules of the same size.
|
||
#cp ~/.../mod_devel_kit/rhxx/modules/x.y.z-iBOOT/module.o x.y.z-iBOOT
|
||
Also in case you add it, copy the modules needed for the installed kernel during reboot, and adapt the files pcitable, module-info and modules.dep by using the information provided in the development kit.
|
||
#cp -a ~/.../mod_devel_kit/rhxx/modules/x.y.z-i ~/.../mod_devel_kit/rhxx/modules/x.y.z-ismp .
|
||
#vi /mnt/floppy/modules/pcitable /mnt/floppy/modules/module-info /mnt/floppy/modules/modules.dep
|
||
recreate the compressed cpio file
|
||
#find * -print -depth | cpio -ov -H crc | gzip -c9 > /mnt/floppy/modules/modules.cgz
|
||
unmount the "file" filesystem
|
||
#umount /mnt/floppy
|
||
compress the "file" filesystem
|
||
#gzip -c9 /tmp/initrd.ext2 > /tmp/initrd.img
|
||

LH 4
|
||
The LH4 doesn't seem to work correctly when not in Raid. Even with the
|
||
latest Bios available at the time of the test (16.00), the problem
|
||
remains. If you desactivate the Raid management, during the boot, the
|
||
ncr53c8xx driver in Linux detects 4 controlers instead of 2 and boot
|
||
doesn't end. To avoid that, you have to activate the Raid in the Bios and
|
||
use each of the disk in Raid0 mode, which is quite the same as the
|
||
solution without Raid at all.
|
||
|
||
This machine can not be installed correctly with RedHat 7.1 or Mandrake
|
||
8.0 distributions.
|
||
|
||
NetRaid card
|
||
These cards are equiped with an [http://www.ami.com] AMI Megaraid
|
||
chipset and may support the following Raid levels : 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 30
|
||
and 50.
|
||
|
||
AMI has recently sold his Megaraid division to LSILogic and information
|
||
is now available from [http://www.megaraid.lsilogic.com/] http://
|
||
www.megaraid.lsilogic.com/
|
||
|
||
Some NetRaid cards, as well as the chipset integrated on the LH3 and
|
||
LH4 mother boards are supported by recent version of the Linux kernel
|
||
(2.0.36/2.2.19/2.4.16 typically - don't use 2.0.37/38).
|
||
|
||
For the RedHat 5.2 distribution, it's not possible to install the
|
||
system on this type of controler, because it's not detected by the
|
||
installation program. You have to use a specific [http://
|
||
www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Drivers/lh3.img] floppy disk . This
|
||
floppy disk should be used as input to the rawrite tool, for example. It
|
||
works for systems with less than 1 GB of memory.
|
||
|
||
For the RedHat 6.0 distribution, you have to manually declare the
|
||
existence of this card as a supplementary SCSI adapter, in order to use
|
||
it directly during the installation. The megaraid driver isn't
|
||
automatically detected.
|
||
|
||
To avoid strange messages during the boot printed by the megaraid
|
||
driver, it's necessary to recompile it with the option -DHP (before
|
||
kernel 2.4.2) or -DMEGA_HP_FIX (after) or even nothing now (> 2.4.13).
|
||
|
||
For the RedHat 6.1 distribution, the megaraid driver provided by the
|
||
kernel does support only the first logical drive. In order to obtain the
|
||
others, please recompile a 2.2 standard kernel.
|
||
|
||
You have to note that the integrated card of the LH3/4 realises a
|
||
software parity checks and performs thus less efficiently than the
|
||
NetRaid daughter cards. On the other side, LH3000/6000 are equiped with
|
||
an integrated card doing hardware checks.
|
||
|
||
In the driver provided by AMI there is a Raid management tool megamgr,
|
||
usable within Linux, and equivalent to the tool included in the software
|
||
embedded on the controler. It's downloadable from [http://www.ami.com/
|
||

In case of problem, old versions are available there [http://
|

|
||

Kernel patches and utility to monitor logical/physical drives on
|
||
MegaRAID (NetRAID) Adapters have been made by Katsuyuki Yumoto. "This can
|
||
detect physical drive failure, send E-Mail and syslog it. NetRAID-1Si/
|
||
3Si, embeded NetRAID and NetRAID-1M/2M are okay to use. Don't use this
|
||
for NetRAID-4M." You'll find the code at this address [http://
|
||
www.jpn.hp.com/biz/products/pcserver/linux/tech/megascan-20011113.tar.gz]
|
||
http://www.jpn.hp.com/biz/products/pcserver/linux/tech/
|
||
megascan-20011113.tar.gz. Use with care as the versions I tried have
|
||
conducted to kernel panic.
|
||
|
||
The NetRaid 1Si card isn't recognized correctly by RedHat 7.2.
|
||
|
||
NetRaid 1M/2M models
|
||
In addition to what is mentionned above, these models require a 1.14
|
||
version of the megaraid driver to work correctly. You may find a version
|
||
of the sources of this driver at this address [http://www.HyPer-Linux.org
|
||
/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Software/ami-mr114b.tar.gz] http://www.HyPer-Linux.org/
|
||
HP-HOWTO/mirror/Software/ami-mr114b.tar.gz.
|
||
|
||
A driver disk for the RedHat distribution is available at the following
|
||
address for the versions [http://www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/
|
||
Drivers/dd62-ami.img] 6.2 and [http://www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror
|
||
/Drivers/dd70-ami.img] 7.0.
|
||
|
||
To use a driver disk on a RedHat 6.2 distribution, you need to boot
|
||
with the latest boot disk made by RedHat. Either by remaking a CD-ROM
|
||
containing it, or by using it directly. It"s available at the following
|
||
address [ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/6.2/en/os/images/
|
||
i386/boot-20000407.img] ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/6.2
|
||
/en/os/images/i386/boot-20000407.img
|
||
|
||
You'll have data corruption by using these cards with the standard
|
||
kernel of the RedHat 7.1 distribution. You necessaraly need [http://
|
||
www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Drivers/dd71-ami.img] this driver
|
||
disk to use it correctly. This has been seen with both H.01.07 and
|
||
H.01.08 firmware. Sources of the patch required to make this card work
|
||
correctly with kernels 2.4.x (x < 7) are available here [http://
|
||
www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Software/mega115hp.tgz] http://
|
||
www.HyPer-Linux.org/HP-HOWTO/mirror/Software/mega115hp.tgz. The same
|
||
problème is true with the Mandrake 8.0, but the 8.1 has the right driver.
|
||
|
||
NetRaid 4M card
|
||
These cards are equiped with a StrongARM Chipset and correspond to the
|
||
Adaptec card AAC-3642. A driver is available at [http://domsch.com/linux]
|
||
http://domsch.com/linux. The RedHat 7.0 includes in standard the driver
|
||
even if that release of the kernel doesn't handle it normaly. Information
|
||
are also available on the HP Navigator L.19.00.
|
||
|
||
Second IDE bus
|
||
On these machines, when the second ide bus is probed by the kernel,
|
||
there is a timeout, which doesn't hurt, but is useless. To avoid it, just
|
||
add to your lilo.conf the following line :
|
||
|
||
append="ide1=noprobe"
|
||
|
||
Processors
|
||
To desactivate processors on a Linux server, you need to give an option
|
||
during the boot to the kernel such as :
|
||
|
||
Lilo boot: linux maxcpus=3
|
||
|
||
where the number of processors given in option is less by one of the
|
||
number of processors wanted. For example, here we activate 4 processors.
|
||
|
||
HA Cluster
|
||
To use a High Availability Custer under Linux, you need to use
|
||
additional software, such as :
|
||
|
||
+ [http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/highavailability/ar/mcserviceguard/
|
||
index.html] HP MC Service Guard (Commercial)
|
||
|
||
+ [http://www.linux-ha.org] Linux-HA project (free) and [http://
|
||
www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/] ext3
|
||
|
||
|
||
Multimedia keyboards
|
||
Some of the PCs provided by HP are equiped with a multimedia keyboard.
|
||
You may use the additional keys thanks to the HotKeys daemon (Cf: [http:/
|
||
/freshmeat.net/projects/hotkeys/] http://freshmeat.net/projects/hotkeys/)

3.2.3. PA-Risc based computer range
|
||
|
||
The PA-Risc range is achitectured around a processor designed and realised
|
||
by HP. First versions were produced in 1987. Currently the versions are named
|
||
PA-8000 (8200, 8500, ...).
|
||
|
||
The initiative to port Linux on the PA-RISC architecture was taken during
|
||
the Atlanta Linux exhibition in October 1998. HP has announced in February
|
||
1999 its sponsorship to to this port of Linux. This port is a native one,
|
||
which is different from a preceding project which used MkLinux on machines
|
||
based on PA-7200. The work is currently done with [http://
|
||
www.thepuffingroup.com] The Puffin Group bought by Linuxcare, and more
|
||
precise information on the status may be found on the [http://
|
||
www.parisc-linux.org] official Web site. In particular, interesting starting
|
||
points may be found on [http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq.html] http://
|
||
www.parisc-linux.org/faq.html and [http://www.parisc-linux.org/hw.html] http:
|
||
//www.parisc-linux.org/hw.html. Consult also ESIEE site (712 on Linux/PA)
|
||
which participates actively to the port : [http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/en/] http:
|
||
//mkhppa1.esiee.fr/en/ The last version is 0.9.3. It supports the following
|
||
systems L1000, L2000, A500, A180, B, C, J, D, R, 742, 725, 735, 755, 705,
|
||
710, 720, 730, 750, 712, 715.
|
||
|
||
This version supports 32 and 64 bits modes, SMP (1-4 way), RAM up to 16 GB,
|
||
HP-UX compatibility, X-Window, KDE, Gnome, 80% of Debian packages.
|
||
|
||
Debian has accepted PA-RISC as a supported architecture for the upcoming
|
||
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody) stable release. [http://www.debian.org/ports/
|
||
hppa/] http://www.debian.org/ports/hppa/.
|
||
|
||
Thomas Marteau has written a HOWTO on the way to boot concretely a Pa-Risc
|
||
suystem. It's available at [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/
|
||

There is on the other side for these machines a Linux project based on the
|
||
MkLinux micro-kernel. This project as developped within OSF. The web site

3.2.4. The IA-64 range
|
||
|
||
HP has developed in collaboration with Intel a new generation of 64 bits
|
||
processors called Itanium (IA-64). The first processor of this new
|
||
generation, called Itanium, was born in September 2001. The initial port of
|
||
Linux on IA-64 was published the 2nd of february, 2000 and the sources of the
|
||
project are available through [ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/
|
||
ia64] ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64. This is the place of
|
||
the latest sources for this project. More information on this topic may be
|
||
found on these pages: [http://www.hp.com/products1/linux/itanium/index.html]
|
||
http://www.hp.com/products1/linux/itanium/index.html (LSO), [http://
|
||

|
||
index.html (HP Labs) or on the reference site [http://www.linuxia64.org]
|
||
http://www.linuxia64.org
|
||
|
||
HP, as a founding member of the IA-64 Linux project, works on the port of
|
||
the kernel, the initial version of gcc, gas, ld and emacs. Another major
|
||
contribution of HP to this project is the availability of the software
|
||
development kit available at [http://www.software.hp.com/ia64linux] http://
|
||
www.software.hp.com/ia64linux. It allows to develop applications as well as
|
||
kernel code on Linux/IA32 for IA64 platforms and moreover to test them
|
||
through a simulator.
|
||
|
||
You may find some useful tools for IA-64 architecture on the ftp site of
|
||
the [ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64] HP labs.
|
||
|
||
Debian has accepted IA-64 as a supported architecture for the upcoming
|
||
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody) stable release. Cf: [http://www.debian.org/ports
|
||
/ia64/] http://www.debian.org/ports/ia64/. The IA-64 installer CD image is
|
||
now available by either HTTP or FTP from these locations: [http://
|
||
gluck.debian.org/ia64/cd-20010810.iso.gz] http://gluck.debian.org/ia64/

|
||
/gluck.debian.org/ia64/cd-20010810.iso.gz.
|
||
|
||
MandrakeSoft has announced that its Mandrake 8.1 for IA-64 version supports
|
||
perfectly HP Itanium configurations as related on [http://
|
||
www.mandrakesoft.com/company/press/pr?n=/pr/products/1444en=en] http://
|
||
www.mandrakesoft.com/company/press/pr?n=/pr/products/1444en=en
|
||
|
||
The following key features which are all unique to IA-64 are described by
|
||
Stéphane Eranian:
|
||
|
||
* IA-64/EPIC goes beyond pure VLIW. Code is portable from one
|
||
implementation to another. The timing dependencies are protected by stop
|
||
bits. This allow unmodified code to run with no recompilation. Of course
|
||
better performance is achieved by recompilation.
|
||
|
||
* Very large register set: 128 floating point, 128 general registers.
|
||
|
||
* Predication: a very elegant way of removing the cost of branch in
|
||
if-then-else statments.
|
||
|
||
* Speculation: a elegant mechanism to hide memory access latency by
|
||
allowing load instructions to be hoisted from the location where they are
|
||
needed without risking unwanted faults (like NULL pointer).
|
||
|
||
* Register Stack Engine: a mechanism similar to the register window found
|
||
a SPARC but much more powerful and dynamic. The window size varies on
|
||
demand. Take advantage of the large register set and is used on function
|
||
calls.
|
||
|
||
* Hardware support for software pipelined-loop: this is the most powerful
|
||
construct which takes advantages of : predication, large registers. This
|
||
is a renaming scheme for general, floating point or predication registers
|
||
which allows one to unroll loops without incuring the code expansion seen
|
||
on other architectures.
|
||
|
||
* All the multmedia-type instructions are support in IA-64 mode.
|
||
|
||
* IA-32 hardware emulation: possibility to run unmodified Linux/ia32
|
||
applications on Linux/ia64 (requires some OS support).
|
||
|
||
* On the system level: full 64 bit address space. Hardware walker to TLB
|
||
misses.
|
||
|
||
* Banked registers (16 of them) to help speed up interrupt processing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Stéphane Eranian and David Mosberger will publish begining of 2002 a book
|
||
called 'Design and implementation of the Linux/ia64 kernel' (Prentice Hall)

|

3.2.4.3. Complementary information
|
||
|
||
To boot Linux on this kind of machine, you need to type in the initial
|
||
environment
|
||
Verify the correspondance between logical drives and peripherals
|
||
Shell>map
|
||
Go to the logical drive corresponding to the CD-ROM
|
||
Shell>fs1:
|
||
Boot the system
|
||
fs1:>eli linux
|
||
Install your distribution as usual
|
||
The only difference is that you need to create a so-called 'EFI' partition of type FAT32 (Id:b) of around 128 MB. This partition will be mounted as /boot/efi later
|
||
After the installation, reboot and redo the initial sequence, verifying again the correspondance (which may have changed because the CD-ROM isn't available anymore, the numbers indicating the order of detection of bootable devices)
|
||
Shell>map
|
||
Shell>fs0:
|
||
Shell>dir
|
||
Verify the name of the kernel to boot
|
||
fs1:>eli linux-up
|
||
To automize the boot, you need to remove all options from the EFI boot except the EFI Shell and create a file in the EFI partition (/boot/efi) called startup.nsh containing:
|
||
fs0:
|
||
eli linux-up
|
||
fs0:
|
||
(From information provided by S. Eranian. Only mistakes are mine :-)
|
||
|
||
David Mosberger reports that recent versions (7.2) of Red Hat install a GPT
|
||
partition and that you must enable the following two config options for the
|
||
kernel to recognize them:
|
||
CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y
|
||
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y

3.2.5. X Terminals
|
||
|
||
HP proposes now NCD X terminals to replace the Envizex/Entria range.
|
||
|
||
The HP X terminal range (Entria, Envizex) is usable with a Linux server.
|
||
More over, a Linux server may be a boot server for X terminals. To do it, a
|
||
certain number of operations are mandatory.
|
||
|
||
We suppose we have a HP-UX machine named hpux, on which is installed
|
||
Enware, a Linux server, named linux and an X Terminal with MAC address 08:00:
|
||
09:db:8d:1c. The gateway on the network is at IP address 192.168.1.254, and
|
||
the DNS name server at 192.168.1.1.
|
||
|
||
Commands to do are :
|
||
Enware Home Directory
|
||
hpux #cd /opt/hpxt/enware/xthome
|
||
|
||
|
||
Creation of a tar archive of this software

3.2.6. The printing product range
|
||
|
||
3.2.6.1. General points
|
||
|
||
Printers may be connected directly to a machine through either a parallel
|
||
port (generally), or a serial port, or even (more recently) through a USB
|
||
port. They may also be directly wired to the network, for a global access;
|
||
this is done thanks to a card put in a slot of the printer, or through the
|
||
connexion of the parallel port of the printer to a sharing network box.
|
||
|
||
HP provides such boxes, called JetDirect, which allow thus to share
|
||
personnal printers on the network, directly, without going through a machine.
|
||
They exist for various network topologies (10 BT, 10/100 BT, Localtalk, 10B2)
|
||
and offer the ability to access to the printer directly from machine which
|
||
like Linux support the LPD protocol, by using a remote printer in the /etc/
|
||
printcap file. The name of the queue to use is then raw.
|
||
|
||
An example of /etc/printcap file allowing to access to a printer, equiped
|
||
with such a box or card, named lj4000 on the network is given below :
|
||
# REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 1200x1200 a4 {} PostScript Default {}
|
||
|
||
lj4000::sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj4000::rm=lj4000::rp=raw::if=/var/spool/lpd/lj4000/filter::mx#0::sh:
|
||
|
||
The configuration access to the box is done either through the WebJetAdmin
|
||
tool provided also under Linux now, or by the telnet command. The default
|
||
address of these products is 192.0.0.192. To connect to them initially, you
|
||
just have to add an IP alias on your network interface, typically by :
|
||
#ifconfig eth0:0 192.0.0.1
|
||
|
||
and a route to that network (if not automatically created) typically by :
|
||
#route add -net 192.0.0.0
|
||
|
||
The access to the equipment is thus done simply by :
|
||
#telnet 192.0.0.192
|
||
|
||
Please pay attention to have only one such equipment on the network, at the
|
||
same time, or you'll have duplicate IP addresses, which always causes
|
||
problems. Note that HP manageable network equipments also use the same
|
||
default address. The reading of the [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/
|
||
IP-Alias.html] IP Alias mini HOWTO may be useful if you don't understand the
|
||
previous paragraph :-).
|
||
|
||
It is of course possible to access through the network to an HP printer
|
||
attached and declared directly on a Linux machine, thanks to the lpd service
|
||
for the other Unix clients, through [http://www.samba.org] SaMBa for the
|
||
clients of Microsoft systems (Win9x ou WinNTx) or through [http://
|
||
www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk] NetAtalk for the MacIntosh clients.
|
||
|
||
At last, [http://www.samba.org] SaMBa offers a tool, smbclient, which
|
||
allows to print from a Unix/Linux machine to a printer wired directly on a
|
||
Microsoft based PC, without any need to use a JetDirect system. All the
|
||
details useful to realize this operation are described in the example file of
|
||
smbprint provided with the [http://www.samba.org] SaMBa package and on the
|
||
page [http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/samba-truc.html] http://
|
||
www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/samba-truc.html.
|
||
|
||
Communication between a Linux machine and a printer needs also, outside a
|
||
network dialog, a discussion with an exchange language between the two
|
||
elements. There are a lot of languages of that sort, such as PCL, Postscript
|
||
or HPGL. To be able to print correctly, the tool providing the datas to print
|
||
has to generate code known by the printer. Filters exist which allow to
|
||
easily transform an output in one given format to another one. Thus the

|
||
|
||
HP printers are of two kind of technologies : inkjet or laserjet which are
|
||
detailed below.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.2.6.2.1. Inkjet printers range (DeskJet)
|
||
|
||
Inkjet HP printers use either an own language for page description, or the
|
||
PPA protocol, or also the Postscript or PCL language.
|
||
|
||
The reference site for InkJet printer is [http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net]
|
||
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net
|
||
|
||
For PPA printers, consult also [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa]
|
||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa
|
||
|
||
Note that most inkjet printers are limited to a 600x600 resolution when
|
||
used from Unix/Linux.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.2.6.2.2. The InkJet range
|
||
|
||
LaserJet HP printers use PCL or Postscript page description language.
|
||
|
||
The reference site for LaserJet printer is [http://hp.sourceforge.net]
|
||
http://hp.sourceforge.net
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.2.7. Digital imaging product range
|
||
|
||
3.2.7.1. The scanners range (ScanJet)
|
||
|
||
The main tool available in Linux environment to manage scanners is [http://
|
||
www.mostang.com/sane] SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). This software provides
|
||
in particular a driver for HP scanner management: [http://
|
||
www.kirchgessner.net/sane.html] hpbackend.

3.2.7.3. The Digital Sender
|
||
|
||
This product is a scanner, able to send the result of the digitalisation
|
||
through e-mail, by sending the digitalised document as an attachement in PDF
|
||
format. It may so well be used with a Linux (or other) mail server (sendmail,
|
||
postfix, ...), as well as with clients reading their messages under Linux,
|
||
providing they have a tool to display PDF file such as [ftp://ftp.adobe.com/
|
||
pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/linux-ar-405.tar.gz] Acrobat Reader or
|
||
[http://www.aimnet.com/~derekn/xpdf/] xpdf.
|
||
|
||
The Digital Sender can also send images as black and white or colour TIFF
|
||
files. The black and white images work fine, however, there is a problem with
|
||
the coloured TIFF files. These are sent in an obsolete format which is not
|
||
supported by [http://www.libtiff.org] libtiff, which is the basis of support
|
||
for the TIFF format for nearly all Linux software. This means that you cannot
|
||
directly open colour TIFF images created by the Digital Sender using Linux
|
||
software (e.g. The GIMP, ImageMagick).

||
3.2.9.2. HP SureStore Virtual Array
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
[http://www.emulex.com/ts/fc/docs/linuxframe.htm] Emulex and [http://
|
||
www.qlogic.com/support/os_detail.asp?seriesid=57&osid=26] QLogic. HP sells a
|
||

|
||
are VA7100 (A6183A), VA7400.
|
||

|
||
|
||
3.2.9.3. HP XP Storage Systems
|
||
|
||
Here are the configurations supported by HP for these Storage Systems:
|
||
Redhat 6.0/6.1
|
||
Qlogic QLA2100F or QLA2200F with driver V2.23
|
||
Private Loop or Direct Fibre Attach
|
||
No boot support
|
||
XP256 has to have firmware >= 44.14.00 Mode 00
|
||
For direct attach XP512/48 has to have firmware >= 11.22.00 Mode 00
|
||
For attachment to a switch XP512/48 has to have firmware >= 12.19.00
|
||
|
||
Redhat 6.2
|
||
Emulex LP8000 with driver V4.10g
|
||
Private Loop or Direct Fibre Attach
|
||
No boot support
|
||
For attachment to a switch use Brocade 2400/2800 with firmware >= V2.1.9f)
|
||
XP512/48 has to have firmware >= 12.19.00 Mode 00
|
||
|
||
Khalid Aziz reports that there may be a problem with XP512 support of Linux
|
||
due to a hole in LUN numbers. If the LUNs were numbered continuously, you
|
||
would see all LUNs. Some folks in HP have written patches for this.
|
||
Essentially all that is needed is to add an entry in device_list[] in
|
||
scsi_scan.c for the XP512 and set the flag BLIST_SPARSELUN. The entry would
|
||
look something like:
|
||
{ "HP", "XP512", "*", BLIST_SPARSELUN}
|
||
The first field is the vendor name as reported by XP512 and second field is
|
||
the model name as reported by XP512. These two need to match what XP512
|
||
returns in Inquiry command, exactly.

Chapter 4. Solutions and Sizing
|
||
|
||
This chapter proposes an help for sizing NetServers under Linux, depending
|
||
on the different kind of use.
|
||
|
||
You have to consider that exercise as a bit perilous. Indeed, only the
|
||
reality allows to test such previsions. Nevertheless, using the experience
|
||
acquired by deploying solutions in the past, we can give some useful rules.
|
||
|
||
We may apply a certain number of rules valid for the sizing of classical
|
||
Unix servers, considering that CISC systems (the majority in Linux
|
||
environment) need 2.5 less times resources in memory than RISC systems, due
|
||
to the fact that binaries used are smaller (Intel platforms are for the
|
||
moment 32 bits architectures). This has also influences on disk and swap
|
||
space.
|
||
|
||
It's obvious you have to consider, whatever the system, bottlenecks of the
|
||
solution put in place, because they will determine the weakest link in the
|
||
chain.
|
||
|
||
You have to look particularly at the following points :
|
||
|
||
* The number and the speed of disks (the I/O rate of 10.000 rpm disks may
|
||
go up to 20 MB/s, and 25 for 15.000 rpm disks),
|
||
|
||
* The number and the speed of SCSI controlers (the I/O rate of Ultra2 LVD
|
||
of the LC2000 - LH3/4/3000/6000 may go up to 80 MB/s, and latest B model
|
||
up to 160 MB/s),
|
||
|
||
* The addition of a supplementary SCSI card supported, when adding slow
|
||
peripherals (DAT, DLT, CD writer ...) in order to avoid that the
|
||
controler slow down in compatible mode, and that I/O performances drop
|
||
significantly.
|
||
|
||
|
||
You have also to be suspicious of the extensible functions of machines.
|
||
Indeed, it's often better for a customer to add a new server, rather than to
|
||
increase the capacities of the one in place. The first reason is a financial
|
||
one, on one side, because the costs of add-ons on an already old system may
|
||
be near those of a new system, whose prices are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
|
||
And the same for maintenance. On the other hand, technically, it could be
|
||
more interesting to benefit from the latest technologies to obtain a machine
|
||
more equilibrate, powerful and to reuse the old one for secondary tasks
|
||
(secondary DNS, ...) or to split processes from the other one. For example,
|
||
when Ultra2 LVD was introduced, it was more interesting to buy a new server
|
||
to benefit from the 80 MB/s SCSI bus speed, rather than to update a server
|
||
which had 40 MB/s Ultra Wide SCSI. This implies that it's interesting to size
|
||
correctly the server, from the begining, for the whole forseeable period of
|
||
life of its use (typically 3 years nowadays).
|
||
|
||
In the same kind of ideas, you have to examine closely the choice between a
|
||
bi-processors and two mono-processors machines. 2 different systems imply 2
|
||
disk controlers, 2 disks set, 2 separate RAM busses thus better performances,
|
||
but more administration. On the other hand, a unique system renders it
|
||
easier, allows for a quicker communication between processors, which could be
|
||
necessary for certain applications, but makes the environment more fragile
|
||
(more downtime in case of an hardware problem). In fact, there are more
|
||
losses intrinsically on a multi-processor model, in communications at the
|
||
system level. This question should mainly be considered for the addition of a
|
||
processor (necesseraly obsolete) on a machine a posteriori, rather than to
|
||
add a new server.
|
||
|
||
On memory aspects, Linux can manage today up to 64 GB in stable kernels.
|
||
Linux takes the maximum from the memory you give to it, mainly by the
|
||
constitution of a cache disk which improves greatly system performances. You
|
||
may thus oversize the quantity of RAM installed, because it's preferable to a
|
||
situation where the server would be forced to swap (which drop performances
|
||
dramatically). The minimum RAM size provided on the NetServers (128 ou 256
|
||
MB) matches perfectly a normal use of a system, and doesn't need any
|
||
particular addition. You have to take in account that there is no graphical
|
||
environment used on production servers. Concerning the swap, under Linux, it
|
||
comes in addition to the RAM to give the complete virtual memory available
|
||
for the server. As a base rule, it's recommanded to give the same amount of
|
||
swap space as the amount of RAM, to allow the system to put on disk nearly
|
||
all the running processes in case of need. But the rule which exists for
|
||
System V Unix (such as HP-UX) consisting of reserving twice the amount of RAM
|
||
for swap isn't useful under Linux. You may note that Linux may swap certain
|
||
inactive processes to free the maximum RAM possible. So having a system whose
|
||
swap is partially used isn't necesseraly a proof of lack of memory, nor lack
|
||
of performances.
|
||
|
||
You'll find below recommandations depending of the type of use made by the
|
||
HP NetServer under Linux. It's possible to cumulate several functions on the
|
||
same server. You'll take care to add at least in that case the resources
|
||
needed to give the services.
|
||
|
||
Some generic rules have to be considered :
|
||
|
||
* We consider that the number of simultaneous users is the same as half
|
||
the whole number of users on the server.
|
||
|
||
* The minimal RAM size needed for a usable Linux server is 32 MB, which
|
||
is less than the minimum amount of RAM available on the NetServers (128
|
||
MB). In case you use X-Window with KDE or Gnome on this machine, you need
|
||
to have 64 MB in supplement, thus 96 MB as a minimum.
|
||
|
||
* The minimal disk size needed for a usable Linux server is 2 GB, which
|
||
is less than the minimum amount of disk available on the NetServers (9
|
||
GB).
|
||
|
||
* In case of use of Raid 1, you have to double the amount of disk space
|
||
useful to obtain the disk space needed. In case of use of Raid 5, you
|
||
need to add 1 disk to obtain the disk space needed (up to 8 disks).
|
||
|
||
* Except in particular cases (computing server), the amount of swap is
|
||
the same as the amount of RAM.
|
||
|
||
* The minimal processor needed for a usable Linux server is a Pentium
|
||
133, which is less than the minimum processor available on the NetServers
|
||
(Pentium III 933).
|
||
|
||
* Each X-Window user excuting a client on the server uses in average 2
|
||
MB.
|
||
|
||
* It may be useful to add network cards in this type of machine to smooth
|
||
the traffic, depending on the number of clients. Using the bonding option
|
||
provided by the Linux kernel may also be very useful.

4.1. Linux as file and print server
|
||
|
||
4.1.1. Linux as file server
|
||
|
||
The sharing service uses 2 MB of RAM, and 2 more MB per share. In case of a
|
||
unique share (users space for example), it leads to a 2 MB consumption per
|
||
user. In the proposed case, we estimate that each user has 100 MB of disk
|
||
space on the server, with an evolution to 200 MB 3 years later. Processor
|
||
resources used are relativeley small, an entry level model will be sufficient
|
||
from that point of view. We will priviledge the I/O speed with Ultra 3 LVD
|
||
SCSI at 160 MB/s, if the budget allows it, and 15.000 RPM disks.

4.1.2. Linux as print server
|
||
|
||
The sharing service uses 2 MB of RAM, and 2 more MB per printer shared. In
|
||
case of a unique share (One printer per user typically), it leads to a 2 MB
|
||
consumption per user. In the proposed case, we estimate that each user prints
|
||
simultaneously files of 5 MB in average, thus we need to have that space
|
||
available on the server. Processor resources used are relativeley small, an
|
||
entry level model will be sufficient from that point of view.

4.2. Internet/Intranet Linux server
|
||
|
||
4.2.1. Web Server
|
||
|
||
The Web service uses 2.5 MB of RAM, in static mode (simple HTML pages) and
|
||
5 MB of RAM in dynamic mode (HTML pages generated from perl, PHP, ...) per
|
||
user. The disk space needed is function of the nature of the server, knowing
|
||
that most of the consumption comes from images. Processor resources used are
|
||
important, thus it could be useful to consider the increase in frequency and
|
||
the addition of processors, because this type of traffic could be quite well
|
||
done in parallel. With Apache 2.0 and the support of threads, it will become
|
||
even more obvious. We will priviledge also the I/O speed with Ultra 2 LVD
|
||
SCSI at 80 MB/s, if the budget allows it, and 10.000 RPM disks.

4.2.2. Mail Server
|
||
|
||
Generally, this machine is used as both SMTP (sending and reception of
|
||
messages) and POP/IMAP server (keeper of messages and manager of client
|
||
accesses). The SMTP Mail service uses 2 MB of RAM per user. The POP/IMAP Mail
|
||
service uses 2 MB of RAM per user. The disk space needed becomes more and
|
||
more important as long as attachments (images, various documents) take the
|
||
greatest place in exchanges via e-mail. We consider in that case that an
|
||
average mail box size is 50 MB. Processor resources used are important, thus
|
||
it could be useful to consider the increase in frequency and the addition of
|
||
processors, because this type of traffic could be quite well done in
|
||
parallel.

||
4.2.3. Firewall/Proxy/Web-Cache server
|
||
|
||
Generally, this machine is both a Firewall server, a proxy (in both
|
||
directions) and a cache for the Web because all requests go through it. The
|
||
Firewall service uses 1 MB of RAM. The Proxy service uses 0.3 MB per incoming
|
||
relay. The Web cache service uses 0.5 MB per user. The disk space needed is
|
||
function of the parameters of the cache Web server. In that case, we consider
|
||
20 MB per user. Processor resources used are important, due to the analysis
|
||
of IP packets. Thus it could be useful to consider the increase in frequency.

||
4.2.4. Directory server
|
||
|
||
Generally, this machine use a software like [http://www.openldap.org]
|
||
OpenLDAP to fulfill its goals. The LDAP service uses 1 MB of RAM and 10 kB of
|
||
RAM per user. The disk space needed is of the same kind, so 10 kB per user.
|
||
Processor resources used are moderated.

|
||
4.3. Linux as computing server
|
||
|
||
Generally, this machine is extremely stressed, mainly on the processor and
|
||
RAM aspects. Sometimes this is combined with intensive I/O needs. We thus
|
||
equip such a machine with high-end processors (nowadays Pentium III Xeon)
|
||
with the greatest level 2 cache possible (nowadays 2 MB). In RAM, we would
|
||
tend to reach the maximum possible, thus 4 GB. For this type of server, we
|
||
should adapt the swap such as it covers all the needs in memory required by
|
||
the computing codes to execute. There is often no specific constraint on
|
||
network performances, except in case of a computing cluster, in which case we
|
||
may consider to equip the machines with 100 Mb/s cards with a switch between
|
||
them, even with Myrinet, Dolphin or Gigabit products. Typically, a LP1000 2*
|
||
PIII 1.4GHz 1 GB/2*9GB is the target of this type of server. The choice is
|
||
extremely variable depending on the nature of the computation to do. We
|
||
should underline that there are processors, such as PA-Risc, much more
|
||
performant in floating point computation than today Intel processors (up to 6
|
||
times). The new IA-64 Itanium family seems also to bring a better compromise
|
||
for price/performances for that environment.
|
||
|
||
This is by the way not the only approach as shown by the i-cluster project.

4.4. Linux as an office server

|
||
more frequent in Microsoft world, by association with [http://www.citrix.com/
|
||
products/metaframe.asp] Metaframe solutions of [http://www.citrix.com/]
|
||
Citrix. An office server needs 50 MB of RAM per user. Intrinsically, this
|
||
machine has no requirements in term of disk, if it's not at the same time a
|
||
file server. Processor resources used are important, thus it could be useful
|
||
to consider the increase in frequency and the addition of processors, because

||
this type of traffic could be quite well done in parallel.

5.2. "What's new in kernel 2.4 ?"
|
||
|
||
Read [http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-01-05-007-04-NW-LF-KN]
|
||
Wonderful World of Linux 2.4.
|
||
|
||
5.3. "How to have more than 1 GB of RAM on my NetServer ?"
|
||
|
||
The following information are adapted from the [http://humbolt.geo.uu.nl/
|
||
Linux-MM/more_than_1GB.shtml] page of Rik van Riel. They concern 2.0.x as
|
||
well as 2.2.x kernels, and 2.4.x.
|
||
|
||
First of all, the IA32 Intel architecture is limited by construction in its
|
||
memory management to 4 GB. Space which should be divided into virtual memory
|
||
and physical memory. Which means that if you choose to recognize more RAM,
|
||
the maximum size for a program decreases.
|
||
|
||
But Linux can't manage more than 1 GB by default. To go above that, in fact
|
||
up to 2 GB today, because Linux can't manage more memory for the moment, you
|
||
need to modify 2 files provided with kernel sources and recompile it. Those 2
|
||
sources are /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/page.h and /usr/src/linux/arch/
|
||
i386/vmlinux.lds.
|
||
|
||
From 2.0.37 and 2.2.12 kernels on, the patch was integrated in the kernel
|
||
and may be activated when doing a make {menu,x}config.
|
||
|
||
The maximum Ram managed in the i386 version was ported to 64 GB after
|
||
2.3.23.
|
||
|
||
5.4. "How to have more than 128 MB of swap on my NetServer ?"
|
||
|
||
Up to the version 2.8x of the util-linux package, the mkswap command could
|
||
create swap partitions only up to 128 MB maximum. You then had to create as
|
||
much partitions as necessary. Till the 2.9 version, included in standard in
|
||
RedHat 6.0 and following distributions, it's possible to create directly swap
|
||
partitions up to 2 GB and to 8 partitions.
|
||
|
||
5.5. "How to use the other procesors of my NetServer ?"
|
||
|
||
Multi-processing is supported by Linux operationnaly till the 2.0 version of
|
||
the kernel. For a 2.0.x kernel, you have to recompile it and set up the SMP
|
||
variable in the Makefile to 1. For a 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernel, you have to set
|
||
it up during the make {menu,x}config. For more details, please consult the
|
||
[http://www.irisa.fr/prive/mentre/smp-howto] SMP-HOWTO.
|
||
|
||
5.6. "Is Linux Y2K compatible ?"
|
||
|
||
Generally, Linux is Y2K compatible. For more information please consult the
|
||
[http://www.linux.org/help/beginner/year2000.html] FAQ.
|
||
|
||
5.7. "How to increase the number of processes managed by the kernel ?"
|
||
|
||
For 2.2.x kernels, you need to edit the file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/
|
||
tasks.h, modify the value of the constant NR_TASKS (512 by default) and set
|
||
it to a value which doesn't exceed 4092 or 4090 if APM is configured. It
|
||
could be useful to set MAX_TASKS_PER_USER at the same time to an appropriate
|
||
value. Then recompile the kernel as usual.
|
||
|
||
5.8. "How to increase the number of loopback devices managed by the kernel ?"
|
||
|
||
You need to edit the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/loop.c, For 2.2.x
|
||
kernels, you need to modify the value of the constant MAXLOOP (8 by default).
|
||
For 2.4.x kernels, you need to modify the value of the static int max_loop
|
||
variable. Then recompile the kernel as usual.
|
||
|
||
5.9. "How to have files bigger than 2 GB on ext2 ?"
|
||
|
||
You need to have a kernel 2.4.x, glibc 2.1.3 at least and that all necessary
|
||
tools have been recompiled. Look at [http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html]
