3.19.4 HP OpenVMS System Manager’s Manual: IPC Commands Restriction
V8.2-1
Section 9.15, Using Interrupt Priority Level C (IPC), in the HP OpenVMS System
Manager’s Manual, Volume 1: Essentials incorrectly states that you can use
IPC commands on all Alpha and Integrity servers. This is not correct. The
documentation has been changed to include the following statement:
For OpenVMS Versions 8.2 and 8.2--1, you cannot use IPC commands
on Integrity servers or on ES47 or GS1280 Alpha systems if you booted
from a Graphic console.
C Prototype
int sys$putmsg (void *msgvec, int (*actrtn)(__unknown_params),
void *facnam, unsigned __int64 actprm);
Note that the return value from *actrtn is indeed checked to determine whether
or not the message is input.
The documentation source file has been corrected, and the correction will appear
in the next version of the HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual and in
online help.
3.20 Network Update Restrictions from Version 8.2 to Version 8.2–1
V8.2–1
OpenVMS Version 8.2–1 supports network update of the operating system from
Version 8.2 to Version 8.2–1. Network update is supported only over the core
I/O LAN cards on systems supported by OpenVMS Version 8.2. Refer to the HP
OpenVMS Version 8.2–1 for Integrity Servers Upgrade and Installation Manual
for more information.
In addition, there is also a hardware configuration restriction for network
booting. Unlike Alpha consoles, where the speed and duplex setting for the
network adapter can be selected at the console, the Integrity servers console and
network boot drivers perform autonegotiation only. The network switch nearest
to the Integrity servers boot client must be set to autonegotiate for a successful
network boot. Failure to set the switch to autonegotiate may not complete the
network boot process.
3.21 Synchronous Data Links not Supported
OpenVMS does not support any synchronous data link hardware on Integrity
servers.
