What You Will Need
This section describes hardware and software requirements for the HP
3000. HP LaserRX/MPE requires a PC in addition to the HP 3000 system (or
systems) that you will be monitoring.
See the PC Chapter in this document for PC installation requirements.
HP 3000 Hardware Requirements
The HP 3000 system (or systems) from which performance data will be
collected for analysis must be equipped with the following:
* Either of the following:
* An RS-232 asynchronous interface (for basic serial
connections).
or
* A LANIC and ThinMAU interface (for network connections).
* Approximately 60 MB of disc storage for HP LaserRX/MPE logfiles.
HP 3000 Software Requirements
To be able to run HP LaserRX/MPE, your HP 3000 must have the following
software installed:
* Either of the following:
* MPE V G.03.02 (V-Delta-2) or later for MPE V systems.
or
* MPE XL release A.41.00 (2.2) or later for MPE XL systems.
* HP network services software (if you use this type of network
connection when running the HP LaserRX/MPE software).
HP 3000 Configuration Requirements
On MPE V systems, the following values must be configured:
* Set the MAX CODE SEGMENT SIZE to its maximum of 16384.
* Set the MAX # OF SEGMENTS/PROCESS to 16 (or more).
* Set the MAX STACK SIZE to its maximum of 31232.
* Set the MAX EXTRA DATA SEGMENT SIZE to its maximum of 32764.
* Set the MAX # OF EXTRA DATA SEGMENTS/PROCESS to 4 (or more).
* Set the PROCESS CONTROL BLOCK (PCB) table to 627 entries (or less)
on MPE V releases prior to release 23.
See the MPE V System Manager/System Supervisor Reference Manual for
further information on changing these values.
If you are updating the software from the A to the B version, you must
convert the logfiles as part of the update procedure. You must update
the host and PC software at the same time since each version's logfiles
can only be collected and analyzed by the software version that produced
it. If you need to analyze logfiles produced by both versions (without
conversion), install each version's software in different directories.
