This is not a function of kermit, but a function of getty.

You need to add a bi-directional getty on the tty port.  this goes in
/etc/inittab.  You may need to cruft up a /etc/gettydef entry, if your modem
is a high speed one of has strange tty settings.

Consult the "Installing Periphrials" manual and the "System Administrators 
Guide" for more details.  Look up "getty", "terminal", and "modem".

I'm using HP Pascal on a 9000/720 under HP-UX 8.07.  It seems that the
escapecode function isn't returning the correct values for runtime errors.  For
example, resetting a file with permissions of 000 should raise an escapecode
of 692 (FILE OPEN ERROR), but instead it's a huge number -- garbage.  Raising
a escape code myself works, though.

Here's my sample program and output.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

------------cut here----------------------

$STANDARD_LEVEL 'HP_MODCAL'$
program t(input, output);

var
  esc_code : integer;
  i : integer;
  file_var : text;
begin
  TRY
    begin
      {try our own escape code -- this works}
      escape(21);
    end;
  RECOVER
    begin
      esc_code := escapecode;
      writeln('Raised escape code - escape code should be 21');
      writeln('  escape code = ', esc_code:1);
    end;
  TRY
    begin
      i := 1;
      i := i div 0;
    end;
  RECOVER
    begin
      esc_code := escapecode;
      writeln('integer divide by zero - escape code should be 512 (?)');
      writeln('  escape code = ', esc_code:1);
    end;
  TRY
    begin
      {file 'no_rights' has permissions set to zero so reset fails}
      reset(file_var, 'no_rights');
      writeln('opened ok');
    end;
  RECOVER
    begin
      esc_code := escapecode;
      writeln('Couldn''t open file - escape code should be 692');
      writeln('  escape code = ', esc_code:1);
    end;
end.

------------cut here----------------------

Raised escape code - escape code should be 21
  escape code = 21
integer divide by zero - escape code should be 512 (?)
  escape code = 1966280
Couldn't open file - escape code should be 692

Yes.    But it depends on how you want to use LVM.  The only reason
LVM is part of the install process is to allow the root disk to be a logical
volume.   If you have a system with root, swap, etc on partitions but want
to make you /users directory a logical volume then you only need to load
the LVM fileset.  You can then have partitions on you existing disk, but
use LVM with new disks.   The LVM commands in /etc (pvcreate, vgcreate, 
lvcreate) or /usr/bin/sam can do the job of adding the new disk and creating
filesystems or raw data areas on that disk.

If you want LVM on your root disks also, you have two choices.  The easiest
way to do this is use the /etc/lvmmigrate command and then scratch install
again.   The alternative is to use a scratch disk and create LVM on that
disk, make it a boot disk, and boot from that disk.  It is a bit complicated,
but can be done.  The System Administration Tasks manual for S800 discusses
the procedure for doing this.

No matter your situation, the key point is the LVM takes the entire disk.
You can have systems that have both LVM and regular partitioned filesystem,
but the partitioned filesystems must be on separate disk from the LVM disks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Pam

   I need some help on mounting disks off of a DECstation 3100 (ULTRIX 4.1)
onto an HP 9000/720 Workstation (HP-UX 8.07).
  Upon attempting to mount these disks I get the message (on the HP) :

(remote error)

  I should also point out that mounting disks off of a Stardent (Titan) onto 
the same HP workstation works fine.  So I know that the nfsd daemons are 
working properly. 

  Any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

We have ~15 300/400's and ~10 700s. Any significant comments on
making a mixed-cluster out of these?

Any stats on server swap vs. local swap ? Is local swap an order
of magnitude faster or what?

Was told HP plans to replace clusters with NFS in the near future.
Is this true?

NFS traffic between our HP730 and SunSSII workstation seems to be
transmitted at 2 Mbits/second.  I remember reading a long time ago
that Sun had a trick to "take over" the ethernet in a non-friendly
way to speed up ethernet transfers at the expense of other clients.
This was why Sun NFS server performance was always better than HP's
for a long time.  Perhaps this trick has migrated to the HP now as
well?  Some vendors said that this was because the NFS service was
part of the kernel on the Sun, and that HP had only recently put the
NFS portion in the kernel to get the speed improvement.  Since
Ethernet tops out at about 1.5 Mbits per second because of timing
constraints, I find this hard to believe...

There is a program around that does this.  I think it is called lj2ps.  I
believe you can ftp it from shorty.cs.wisc.edu but it has been a long time

DAT drive, more RAM, cd-rom?  Bleech!  Excess cost!  The second and

don't need all that expensive stuff in a cluster node.  What do file

In any event, things change very quickly (since my last HP catalog).
Perhaps the ordering information could be put on the nice HP-UX9

9 CDs while running 8.07, waiting, waiting, waiting......

Organization: Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Helsinki,
	Finland
Distribution: comp.sys.hp
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 22:40:42 GMT

I have a bit of a problem with HP-UX's idea of virtual memory and
management thereof.

We have a cluster of three HP's, the server is 720, the two client
nodes are 705s. The server has 32 Mb of memory, the clients have mere
24 Mb. All the disks are at the server end. The clients have no local
disks. We have 120 Mb of device swap and added to that is 50 Mb of
filesystem swap.

We run mainly FrameMaker and a CAD program called Vertex. I was first
notifed about the problem as one of our users complained that he
couldn't print from FrameMaker. As I looked into it, I noticed that
his FrameMaker process had gobbled up in excess of 30 Mb of memory
(not the problem), and all the swap space had been used (problem, as
it seems FrameMaker wants some swap to do the printing). I told him to
save the documents he was working on and try it again. Now he could
print what he wanted and some of the swap was freed.

This got me interested, as I thought that we had plenty of swap at our
disposal (about 80 Mb of physical memory and 170 Mb of swap). This
morning as I checked the amount of memory and swap used I noted that
there was still over half of the swap space allocated even though
there were only two Vuegreets and a couple of xterms running from this
cluster.

We are running HP-UX 8.05, and HP said there is one patch that might
help (the number was 0611, I think, my notes are at work). What I'd
like to know is that have anyone else bumped into this kind of a
situation and how on Earth did you manage to get around it.

One possibility is to buy more memory or increase swap space, but I'd
rather prefer getting rid of this problem once and for all.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry for asking what is probably a rather elementary question, but I'd

We have an oldish HP-UX system (9000/360, version 6.5) that used to be 
used only as a standalone device hosting some development and debugging 
activity. Now its mission in life has changed and we need to  
get it talking over the Internet.

I have the ARPA services up and running and I can ping anybody in the 
world, do Telnet and FTP, etc., as long as I have the Internet address 
(i.e. the numeric form) of the host address. It can't deal with domain 
name addresses and doesn't seem to be even trying to get to a domain 
name server. I have the internet address for the DNS we use, and I've 
created a resolve.conf file in the usual way with this address in it, 
but this doesn't seem to help. Can this revision use the DNS? If so, how 
do I call its attention to the existence of the service and the location 
of the server?
