• Improved Disk Mirroring Capability

  • AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 allows the user to turn off Logical Volume Manager (LVM) quorum protection. Quorum protection is designed to ensure data consistency and integrity. When activating a logical volume group, the LVM reads management data from each physical volume defined in the volume group. If the LVM cannot read a majority (quorum) of the copies of the management data, it will not activate a logical volume group. However, if there are only two physical volumes in a volume group, losing one physical volume can cause the volume group to lose a majority of its management data areas (quorum) and thus prevent the volume group from being made available. Turning off quorum protection allows a volume group to be available even when a quorum of its disks are not online. This would make, for instance, the alternate copy of data in a mirrored logical volume in a two-disk volume group accessible. While this is a less expensive availability option, it is not as secure as running with LVM quorum on (which may require three disks to help guarantee no loss of data and no off-line time). Users run the risk of data loss with quorum protection turned off, since the data may be accessible but not mirrored.

• Terminal-Attached Printers Support

  • This function allows a user to attach a printer to the auxillary port of an ASCII terminal and to configure a print queue for that printer. Print jobs can then be submitted to the printer using the standard AIX print commands.

• National Language Support

  • AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 provides national language support enhancements to the previously announced capabilities. The enhancements are the addition of national language support for:
    • Extended UNIX Code (EUC) for Korean
    • Extended UNIX Code (EUC) for Traditional Chinese

    This support includes code set support, national language encoding and handling, natively attached keyboards and character handling tables (collation, classification and conversion). These languages are in addition to the currently supported list of language/territory locales.

    In addition, native keyboard attach support is being added with AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 for:

    • Netherlands (ID 143)
      Note: Only ISO 8859-1 code set supported.
    • Turkish (ID 440)

  • PCF Fonts for Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese Printer Support

    • Printer backend support that uses Xwindows(3) fonts for printing Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese files is updated to handle the new PCF font format used by X Window System(4) Version 11.5 that is incorporated into AIXwindows Environment/6000 Version 1.2.3. (Refer to Programming Announcement ZP92-0667 dated October 20, 1992)

  • Japanese Input Method (JIM):

    • This enhancement provides the ability to use multiple system dictionaries whose format is compatible with the one in the IBM Operating System/2. Users can specify several system dictionary files, a user dictionary file, and a Fuzokugo dictionary file to convert Hiragana to Kanji with the JIM. This enhancement provides support for this dictionary architecture.

• New Hardware and Device driver Diagnostics.

• IBM Advanced Realtime Interface Co-Processor (ARTIC) Subsystem Support

  • Multiple ARTIC Adapter Driver Concurrency

    • Each instance of an ARTIC adapter present in the system unit can use any one of the drivers that will support it. No longer must ARTIC adapters of the same type use the same device driver.

  • IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor AIX Support for RISC System/6000 Version 1.1.1 (Program Number 5696-038) (refer to Programming Announcement ZP91-0709 dated October 22, 1991) is required to be compatible with AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000.

• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Enhancements

  • Station Management (SMT) support for FDDI

    • ANSI 6.2 level of SMT support is provided for RS/6000 systems to allow the workstations to be local area network (LAN) managers and manage the token ring.

• XL C Compiler 1.2.1

  The XL C Compiler 1.2.1 is an optionally installed part of AIX/6000 Version 3.2.3. It produces optimized object code which exploits the RISC System/6000 hardware and is upwardly compatible (ie. both source and object) with XL C Compiler 1.2. It conforms to the following industry standards :

  • FIPS PUB 160 (certified)
  • ANSI C X3.159-1989,
  • ISO/IEC 9899:1990(E), and
  • SAA C level 2 (with exceptions documented in the AIX XL Compiler/6000 Language Reference (SC09-1260)).

  Functional Highlights for XL C Compiler 1.2.1 include:

  1. Enhanced optimizer
     • Improved elimination of redundant storage accesses including recurrences from loops
     • Improved optimization of code that utilizes pointers
       (deletion)

  2. Support for coexistence of -c and -o options that enable users to specify name and location of the object file.

  3. New data alignment options to support 1 or 2 byte aligned data structures.

  4. Option for small enum support (enum variables will map to 1, 2, or 4 byte types, depending on their range).

  5. Support C++ (ie. //) Style comments.

  6. Improved handling of the built-in functions div, ldiv, imul_dbl, umul_dbl, bcopy, bzero, copysign, memcpy, strncat, strncmp, and strncpy.

  7. Compile option to generate compact object code. This enables users to tell the compiler to optimize for compactness of the object code rather than speed of the executable.

  8. Compile option to limit the amount of memory used by space intensive optimizations.

  9. Compile option to initialize automatic storage.

  10. Compile option equivalence of "#pragma isolated_call".

  11. Suppresses symbol table information for unreferenced variables by default.

  12. New floating point arithmetic suboptions.

  13. Enhanced detection of floating-point exceptions.

• dbx Debugger Enhancements

  • Support for expanded industry extension and selected FORTRAN 90 features introduced in AIX XL FORTRAN Compiler/6000 Version 2.3 (refer to Programming Announcement ZP92-0669 dated October 20, 1992).

  • Support for small enum which is new in XL C Compiler 1.2.1.

  • Support the threaded environment of Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). These modifications will help enhance the productivity of programmers developing applications using DCE threads.

AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 also includes support for the following separately orderable feature. The planned availability date is April 1993.

• Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) 3088 Emulation Support

  ESCON channel connection support is a separately chargeable feature that allows the RISC System/6000 to communicate to a System/390 (S/390) (TM) host with the aid of ESCON adapters (see Product Annoucement ZG92-0341 dated October 20, 1992). This feature enables a RISC System/6000 to emulate a 3088 control unit. The following are the types of protocols that can be used to communicate between the RISC System/6000 and the S/390:

  • Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Support. This allows a TCP/IP connection between the RISC System/6000 and the S/390. The connection allows the RISC System/6000 to be used as a gateway between LAN based workstations and the VM or MVS host. This protocol support requires IBM VM TCP/IP Version 2.2, with appropriate update; or IBM MVS TCP/IP Version 2.2.1.

  • Normal mode 3088 programming support for both VM and MVS. The interface is similar to Channel-To-Channel (CTC) for user-written applications. This protocol can facilitate the downsizing of host applications to the desktop in a distributed environment. A device driver programming interface is provided to ease the programming effort.

  • Common Link Access Workstation (CLAW) programming support for VM and MVS. This new programming interface improves the S/390 processor performance by reducing the number of I/O interrupts handled by the host CPU. A device driver level API is provided.

Planning Information

• Real Memory Paging Space Requirements

  • Every system should have an amount of paging space equal to or greater than the amount of real memory. The install procedure allocates paging space based on both the amount of real memory and the amount of disk space in the system. If the amount of paging space is less than the amount of real memory in the system, the system may run out of paging space before running out of memory because the system allocates paging space first. Therefore, when a page is referenced, both a real memory page and a paging space block are allocated. If there are fewer paging space blocks than real memory pages, paging space could be exhausted before even all the memory is used. If an installed system has insufficient paging space (because either the amount of paging space is less than the real memory size or is less than the amount required for the applications running on the system), additional paging space should be allocated.

• Infoexplorer Hypertext Information Base Library The InfoExplorer Hypertext Information Base Library consists of a number of databases, which are shipped in subsets with various licensed programs. Because of hypertext links back and forth among the databases, if you install any of the licensed program products listed below with its InfoExplorer Hypertext database shipped with that program and you have an earlier version of any of the other programs listed below installed, you must order and install the latest version of those programs in order to ensure proper operation of the InfoExplorer program shipped with AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000. Consult the ordering instructions for the listed programs for ordering and update information.

  (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.

• Limited Serviceability

  • RISC System/6000's without a diskette drive need special planning to allow themselves to be configured when the source of fixes provided for are diskettes. Selective fixes that are small in size will be distributed on diskettes.

    If the RISC System/6000 does not have a 3.5-inch diskette drive, it is the responsibility of the customer to provide for a methodology of transferring the fix images from diskette to the system. Such a means may involve remote mounting over a network or may involve copying to tape and using the copied tape as source.

    For large software service updates, the customer may (at IBM's discretion) receive the updates via tape or other supported service media.
