PRODUCT NAME: The ULTRIX Operating System, Version 4.5 SPD 26.40.32
Description
The ULTRIX Operating System, Version 4.5 is Digital Equipment Corpo-
ration's native implementation of the UNIX[R] Operating System for all
currently supported VAX, MicroVAX, VAXstation, VAXserver and Digital
RISC DECsystem and DECstation systems.
The ULTRIX Operating System is an interactive, demand-paged, virtual
memory, multiple processor, time-sharing operating system that has a
hierarchical file system with dismountable volumes, compatible device
and interprocess I/O, asynchronous processes, system command language
selectable on a per-user basis, disk quotas, job quotas, over 200 sub-
systems, and a high degree of portability among processors running UL-
TRIX application programs.
In addition to the Berkeley 4BSD functionality, Digital has added the
following enhancements to ULTRIX:
File System
The ULTRIX Operating System provides a file system hierarchy of named
directories and sub-directories. With the ULTRIX Operating System, the
Digital Generic File System Interface (GFSI) provides users with the
ability to mount multiple local and remote file systems. The currently
supported file system types include the local ULTRIX File System (UFS)
and Sun[R] Microsystems' Network File System (NFS). NFS allows trans-
parent file access over an Ethernet or CI network. POSIX-compatible
file and record locking is supported by the NFS lock manager over an
Ethernet or CI network. In addition, Sun MicroSystems' Yellow Pages
DIGITAL November 1995
service (YP) provides support for centralized system management of files
over an Ethernet or CI network. The automounter service automatically
mounts and unmounts NFS file systems.
ULTRIX supports synchronous file system writes on a per-file basis.
In addition, an option to the "mount" command permits an entire file
system to be designated as synchronous, in which case all writes is-
sued to files in that file system are performed synchronously. These
synchronous options provide deterministic file system operations and
are useful in database applications. The file system buffer cache size
is configurable.
ULTRIX provides an option to provide I/O performance enhancement im-
proving both UFS (Local) and NFS.
Virtual Memory
The virtual memory subsystem is derived from 4.2BSD and has been en-
hanced with 4.3BSD performance enhancements and System V[TM] memory
extensions. It provides full demand paging for both files resident on
a local file system and files remotely resident and accessible via NFS.
The backing store for paging/swapping can reside on a local disk par-
tition or, in the case of diskless support, in an NFS remote system
file. System V features include demand paged shared memory support and
page locking.
The ULTRIX virtual memory programmer's interface provides full source
level compliance to existing standards. New interfaces of SVID issue
3 are not currently supported.
Multiprocessor Support
The ULTRIX kernel has been enhanced to support multiple processors ex-
ecuting kernel code. Support has been added for both RISC and VAX mul-
tiprocessor systems. Semaphores and spin locks synchronize access to
kernel data structures. Each processor shares a common kernel image
of text and data. The commands startcpu and stopcpu control attached
processors. The cpustat utility views various cpu statistics.
2
OPEN SCSI CAM
ULTRIX RISC includes OPEN SCSI CAM, a new software architecture for
the SCSI hardware sub-systems in ULTRIX. This architecture uses Com-
mon Access Method (CAM), a standard defined software interface between
device drivers and the host bus adapter by which SCSI peripherals are
attached to a host processor. With this well architectured interface,
system manufacturers, system integrators, controller manufacturers,
and other suppliers of intelligent peripheral are able to more eas-
ily write the necessary drivers and support code for other third party
devices.
OPEN SCSI CAM is not available on VAX ULTRIX systems. ULTRIX RISC does
not support the use of SCSI devices on DECsystem 5800 systems.
System Administration Enhancements
o Graphical User Account Manager
o Integral bad block replacement for DSA/MSCP and SCSI disks
o System diagnostics
o Error logging
o Streaming tape
o Remote backup
o Gateway Screen Facility
o Network installation for MicroVAX, VAXstation, and RISC-based sys-
tems
o Magnetic tape facilities including labeled tape facility for single-
volume ANSI tape interchange between ULTRIX and non-ULTRIX systems
o Line printer setup automation
o Documented error messages
o Support for up to 256 simultaneous users, available through the use
of user capacity upgrades
3
o Support for more than 64 file descriptors
Security Enhancements
The ULTRIX Operating System offers security features designed to be
compliant with the C2 security level as specified by the Trusted Com-
puting Security Evaluation Criteria (Orange Book) and the Password Man-
agement Guidelines (Green Book).
o Protection of the memory interface and terminals via pre-assigned
group identifiers.
o Trusted Path facility which allows users, logging into a system via
either LAT or a terminal multiplexer, to ensure that no other pro-
cess is running on that line.
o Administrator option to configure enhanced login and password func-
tionality, which includes a shadow authentication database, con-
figurable minimum password length (up to 16 characters), password
aging and expiration.
o Security auditing subsystem and audit trail reduction facility which
tracks and records all the security relevant actions occurring on
the system along with who performed the action. This includes an
audstyle (audit) option to control how much information is included
in audit records for execv (2) and execve (2) events.
o Gateway packet screening. An ULTRIX system may be used as a gate-
way (packet router) to connect several IP networks. The Gateway packet
screening facility allows the system manager to control which pack-
ets are forwarded, as one part of a comprehensive network security
policy. The facility consists of a kernel-resident mechanism and
a user-level daemon, /usr/etc/screend. When a packet is ready to
be forwarded, the kernel mechanism submits the packet's headers to
the daemon. The screend daemon examines the headers and tells the
kernel to forward or reject the packet, based on a set of rules de-
fined in the configuration file, /etc/screend.conf. Optionally, some
or all decisions can be logged allowing a manager to detect improper
configurations or potential security problems.
4
For reasonable security and performance using screend, Gateway packet
screening should be used on a system dedicated only to packet rout-
ing and related support activities.
o Kerberos Authentication. Kerberos is a third-party authentication
service. The authentication of an application X to another appli-
cation Y depends upon the trust both X and Y have in Kerberos. The
BIND/HESIOD daemon named has been enhanced to optionally use Ker-
beros. ULTRIX also provides the Kerberos V4 programming interface
so that application developers can use this service. ULTRIX does
not provide the routines to send encrypted (safe) messages.
o Data Encryption/Decryption Facilities. The object code distribu-
tion for the ULTRIX Operating System includes no forms of encryp-
tion or decryption other than one-way password encryption and Ker-
beros encryption algorithm. Data encryption/decryption software is
available as an option under a separate order number. Refer to the
SOFTWARE OPTIONS section for ordering information.
ULTRIX includes a set of intersystem facilities for communication and
networking of multiple systems.
o Asynchronous Lines
Dynamic reassignment of asynchronous lines allows use of the same modems
for dialing in and out of a system without user intervention. Termi-
nal drivers support 7-bit and 8-bit characters.
o Synchronous Lines
ULTRIX VAX supports communication over full- and half-duplex point-
to-point DDCMP synchronous lines. DMC mode is provided for backwards
compatibility. This feature is not available on ULTRIX RISC systems.
o Ethernet Support
Ethernet Support allows for Ethernet communication using the TCP/IP
network protocols, ThinWire, baseband and, optionally, the Digital DNA
network protocol, if either DECnet-ULTRIX or DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX is
present (refer to SPDs 26.83.xx and 34.97.xx, respectively). All pro-
tocols can operate concurrently on a single physical Ethernet link.
5
o CI Network Support
CI Network Support allows for Computer Interconnect (CI) host to host
communication using the network support TCP/IP network protocols. The
CI network is well suited for Network File System (NFS[R]) traffic and
can be used to offload the Ethernet of NFS traffic.
o X.25 Driver Support
X.25 Driver Support allows for X.25 wide area network device support.
ULTRIX VAX supports uucp and tip operations over an X.25 public packet
switching network using a MICOM Micro 800/X.25 Concentrator PAD de-
vice attached to one of the supported asynchronous communications mul-
tiplexers. This feature is not available on ULTRIX RISC systems.
o FDDI Support
FDDI Support provides fiber optic support for the DECsystem and DEC-
station 5000 systems.
o Name Services
ULTRIX supports the BIND V4.8 and HESIOD name services. The BIND ser-
vice provides a host name and address lookup service for the Inter-
net network. HESIOD is layered on top of BIND and provides a more generic
name service. The user can use HESIOD/BIND to replace or supplement
the hosts, aliases, auth, group, networks, passwd, protocols, rpc, and
services databases.
o XTI
XTI is a UNIX[R] version independent (BSD or System V) network appli-
cation programming interface. Most networking applications are writ-
ten to sockets since it is available on most UNIX[R] systems. Over time,
this trend would shift to the System V interface. With XTI, customers
can write to a standard interface which will use either streams or sock-
ets.
o The Packet Filter
6
The packet filter is a software-driven network traffic monitor which
provides demultiplexing of networking packet headers, as well as re-
ception and transmission of packets containing user defined network
protocols on an Ethernet LAN. The packet filter functions as an Eth-
ernet Monitor and can be used to filter specific network protocols.
The packet filter can also be used to send and receive packets using
protocols not currently supported in the ULTRIX kernel.
o SNMP
Simple Network Management (SNMP) protocol manages TCP/IP networks. UL-
TRIX supports the SNMP Agent on both ULTRIX VAX and ULTRIX RISC sys-
tems.
o IBM[R] 2780/3780 Terminal Emulator
The IBM[R] 2780/3780 Terminal Emulator is an ULTRIX software package
that allows the user's system to emulate a 2780 or 3780 IBM terminal.
The 2780/3780 Terminal Emulator uses the Binary Synchronous Communi-
cations (BSC) protocol to send and receive files across a communica-
tion line connected to an IBM system that supports 2780/3780 devices.
The Digital devices that must be used on the VAX and MicroVAX based
systems for the ULTRIX 2780/3780 Terminal Emulator are noted in the
OPTIONAL HARDWARE section of this Software Product Description. This
package is not available on ULTRIX RISC systems.
o Local Area Transport Support
The Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol supports communication with
service nodes on the same Ethernet. Software that runs on local area
terminal servers isdownloaded over the Ethernet network from either
a Phase IV or Phase V loadhost or any valid ULTRIX load host. A sin-
gle ULTRIX host may support up to 256 simultaneous LAT sessions.
The host-initiated connection feature of LAT allows the manager of an
ULTRIX system to associate a named port on a named terminal server with
a specific tty device special file. As a result, users can code ap-
plications that connect to the port through LAT.
7
The LAT/TELNET Gateway feature allows an ULTRIX system to be config-
ured for users on a LAT terminal to connect to remote hosts via Tel-
net, without first having to log in to the local ULTRIX system.
o Remote Procedure Call Facility
The Digital Remote Procedure Call (DECrpc) facility is based on Apollo[R]'s
Network Computing System (NCS[R]) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) facil-
ity. DECrpc allows application developers to partition their appli-
cations along subroutine interfaces, and have those subroutines ex-
ecute on remote hosts. It provides a transport independent interface
to applications using the Internet UDP/IP protocols. DECrpc includes
the following set of components:
o Remote Procedure Call (RPC) runtime library
o Network Interface Definition Language (NIDL) compiler
o Local and Global Location Brokers
DECrpc does not include other components of Apollo's Network Comput-
ing Architecture such as the Concurrent Programming Support or the repli-
cated Global Location Broker.
RPC Applications are written in a high-level language (NIDL) which in
turn generates calls to the RPC runtime procedures. The stub files gen-
erated by the NIDL compiler are C source files.
DECrpc has been tested and found compatible with the NCS V1.5 prod-
uct from Apollo.
o Network Time Protocol
ULTRIX provides users the ability to synchronize and distribute time
for all machines in a network environment. The Network Time Protocol
(NTP) is used to synchronize time. The University of Maryland devel-
oped the NTP daemon. The University of California at Berkeley time syn-
chronization daemon, timed, is used to distribute time to all machines
in a network.
8
Program Development Enhancements
ULTRIX provides a variety of tools for program development. These tools
include R4000 MIPS-ANSI C 3.0, VAX C/ULTRIX, portable C compiler, Pas-
cal compilers and Source Code Control System (SCCS). MIPS-ANSI C 3.0
is only available on VAX RISC systems. VAX C is only available on UL-
TRIX VAX systems. Pascal for RISC and FORTRAN for RISC are available
as a layered product.
o MIPS-ANSI C 3.0 Compiler
ULTRIX RISC includes the MIPS-ANSI C 3.0 compiler and related devel-
opment tools and libraries. This compiler is not available on ULTRIX
VAX systems.
The MIPS-ANSI C 3.0 compiler supports a -std0 K&R[1] mode with ANSI
extensions, a -std1 mode which provides strict ANSI adherence, and a
-std (default) mode which is ANSI C with popular extensions.
The compiler also supports a -mips1 mode which generates code executable
on any supported MIPS RISC processor (R2000, R3000 or R4000 series),
and a -mips3 mode which generates code specific to and optimized for
the MIPS R4000 series processors.
o VAX C/ULTRIX
VAX C/ULTRIX is a K&R[1] implementation of the C programming language
for all ULTRIX VAX systems. VAX C/ULTRIX is not supported or avail-
able on ULTRIX RISC systems.
VAX C
/ULTRIX includes extensions as defined by the proposed ANSI Standard
for C. Many compute-bound C applications compiled with VAX C/ULTRIX
will run significantly faster than when compiled with the Portable C
Compiler (pcc) on ULTRIX. VAX C/ULTRIX cannot be used for system level
programs requiring the ASM pseudo function, or where undocumented or
nonstandard C features of pcc are used. If necessary, an application
can be linked using some object modules compiled with both VAX C/ULTRIX

9
and pcc. VAX C/ULTRIX uses the native runtime and system libraries on
ULTRIX. It also uses the native header files. It supports the pcc com-
mand line with the exception of the following options: -go,-p,-t,-R,-
S,-B. VAX C/ULTRIX is compatible with VAX C, Version 2.3 for VMS sys-
tems, except for VMS specific options.
o DEC C for ULTRIX
DEC C for ULTRIX Version 1.0 is a Digital ANSI-compliant C compiler
currently available for the RISC architecture running the ULTRIX Op-
erating System V4.1 or later.
DEC C provides support for the American National Standards (ANSI) def-
inition of the C programming language, ANSI X3J11/88-159. DEC C has
passed the Plum Hall test suite.
Using the command line options, DEC C is compatible with older dialects
of C, including common (K&R[1]) C and VAX C. The compiler also pro-
vides support for function inlining to eliminate call overhead and source
code checking features such as those found in the lint(1) utility for
assistance in identifying nonportable or unintended coding practices.
In addition to the language, the ANSI C standard also defines the con-
tents of the C library and defining header files.
The documentation for DEC C is provided in hardcopy form and online
via the Bookreader. The online man(1) command provides access to the
c89 and cpp89 manpages for the compiler and preprocessor, respectively.
The documents are provided in hardcopy form with the Media kit and in
online form on the ULTRIX Online Documentation (OLD) disc.
ULTRIX and ULTRIX Worksystem Software (UWS) include a license for DEC
C. The binaries and documentation are not included in the operating
system media, and must be ordered as a separate DEC C Media and Doc-
umentation package. Refer to the SOFTWARE OPTIONS section for order-
ing information.
o CDA Toolkit
10
The CDA Toolkit is an object library that provides the data structures
and routines used to create, store, and interchange the revisable file
formats supported by CDA (Compound Document Architecture). The CDA Toolkit
is used to create CDA-compliant applications, or to write converters
that will interchange existing file formats using CDA data structures
as the intermediate format.
Migration to and from the CDA environment includes portability across
the ULTRIX RISC, ULTRIX VAX and VMS Operating Systems. Electronic mail-
ing and copying of revisable CDA documents provide support for hardware-
and system-independent display and printing.
CDA data structures are predefined aggregate types that store, in mem-
ory, all the items needed to encode DDIF and DTIF documents. DDIF (Dig-
ital Data Interchange Format) aggregates are used to create CDA-compliant
compound documents, graphics and image documents, or converters. DTIF
(Digital Table Interchange Format) aggregates are used to create CDA-
compliant table data documents or converters for use by spreadsheet
and database applications.
CDA data structures are used by supplying the appropriate information
for all the items stored in each aggregate. The way the data struc-
tures are linked using the CDA routines determines the structure of
the documents created by supporting applications.
CDA routines perform multiple operations including file, stream, and
aggregate management; item storage and access; and reading, writing,
and conversion of CDA data structures. Calls to the CDA routines are
encoded within an application source file.
Converters bundled with the CDA Toolkit are: the DDIF, DTIF, and Text
input and output converters; a PostScript[R] output converter; and an
Analysis output converter which is a debugging tool that produces text
output of CDA in-memory data structures.
Digital encourages independent software vendors to use the CDA Toolkit
and its converter architecture to write new converters. The CDA Con-
verter Architecture provides the advantage of a standard hub of in-
terchange so all CDA-compliant converters, whether developed by Dig-
ital or independent software vendors, can participate in data exchange.
11
The CDA Viewer, also bundled with the CDA Toolkit, displays the con-
tents of all CDA-supported documents on a UWS workstation or character-
cell terminal.
Callable DECwindows and character-cell viewer routines are used to write
portable viewer widgets.
o DECthreads
ULTRIX includes a user-mode multi-threading capability referred to as
DECthreads. DECthreads provides an implementation of draft 4 of the
proposed POSIX 1003.4a Standard. DECthreads is a library of run-time
routines callable from a C program that allows the user to create mul-
tiple threads of execution within a single address space. Multi-threading
capability allows computation activity to be overlapped with I/O ac-
tivity. Synchronization elements, such as mutexes and condition vari-
ables, are provided to help ensure that shared resources are accessed
correctly. DECthreads also provides multiple scheduling policies for
scheduling and prioritizing threads.
User Features
User Interfaces
o Shells. ULTRIX provides the following shells:
- C Shell
- BSD[TM] Bourne Shell
- System V Bourne Shell
- Korn Shell
All shells are programmable and allow for a tailorable user environ-
ment.
o MH Mail System. MH (from RAND Corporation) is the User Agent sup-
plied with the ULTRIX Operating System. A user agent is the inter-
face with the mail system. It provides the commands that allow the
user to send, read and handle mail, as well as determine the form
of all drafts and mail messages that are sent.
12
MH can be used for sending memos and personal messages, sending files
to other people, exchanging documents, forwarding messages to other
people, and replying to messages that have been received.
Unlike some other systems, the user does not have to go into a sep-
arate mail utility or program to send and read messages. With MH, the
user can type a mail command at any time. MH commands and other UL-
TRIX commands may be interspersed and even combined on one line.
o PrintServer Software. ULTRIX incorporates client software provid-
ing support for the PrintServer range of printers. The software in-
cludes ANSI to PostScript[R], ReGIS to PostScript and TEK to PostScript
filters. The ReGIS to PostScript and TEK to PostScript filters are
only available on ULTRIX VAX systems.
Compatibility with Other UNIX[R] Offerings
The ULTRIX Operating System is compatible with other software system
implementations which include:
o 4BSD
ULTRIX is based on the 4th Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD), Ver-
sion 4.2 and Version 4.3, and provides the following compatibility fea-
tures:
- File system formats are interchangeable provided disk partitions
are compatible.
- The Bourne Version 7 script shell and the C Shell script syn-
tax are highly compatible.
- Source code programs written for the Portable C Compiler (pcc)
and object file formats are highly compatible.
- 4.2 BSD C Runtime and Math libraries are compatible.
o SVID
13
ULTRIX provides SVID support based on SVID Issue 2, Volume 1. SVID of-
fers the following compatibility features:
- Bourne System V Shell (Issue 1) script syntax is highly compat-
ible.
- Source programs written for the Portable C Compiler (pcc) lan-
guage that follow programming guidelines contained in Issue 2,
Volume 1, Parts II and III of System V Interface Definition are
highly compatible.
- System V Interprocess Communication (IPC)-Shared Memory, Semaphores,
Message Queues, and Named Pipes.
- System V C Runtime and Math libraries are compatible.
Note: Under ULTRIX, source programs which conform to the SVID, Issue
1, may require recompilation.
o Sun Network File System (NFS), Version 2.0
ULTRIX supports the Sun network services NFS, Mount, Yellow Pages, Au-
tomount and Lock manager/Status monitor. These services have been tested
and found compatible with the corresponding SunOS[TM] services of the
following Sun Operating Releases: V3.0, V3.2, V3.4, V3.5 and V4.0. The
Automounter has been tested and found compatible with the automount
service provided in SunOS Release V4.0.
Named pipes accessed using NFS are not compatible between ULTRIX-32
V3.2 and ULTRIX V4.0 systems. A patch is available for ULTRIX-32 V3.1
systems.
o Commands
The following ULTRIX commands meet specifications for POSIX 1003.2,
Draft 8:
diff id ln
tr env find
getopts date mkdir
mkfifo mktemp bc
14
chgrp chmod chown
tee cp join
ar nawk cmp
make basename dirname
fold sort uniq
o POSIX nawk(1)
In anticipation of POSIX 1003.2 final acceptance, a POSIX convergent
awk utility, now called nawk(1), is available. nawk includes a change
in the order of operator precedence. This may affect some existing awk
programs that do not explicitly define precedence with the use of paren-
theses. Therefore, nawk will not replace the current awk, but will be
introduced as the current awk is retired. ULTRIX 4.0 was the first re-
lease for planning the retirement of current awk.
The migration towards full compliancy with POSIX 1003.2 will result
in the retirement of the current awk utility when the next major re-
lease of ULTRIX becomes available. That release will continue to de-
liver a version of nawk(1) modified to reflect a POSIX 1003.2 compat-
ible utility.
nawk introduces a number of new features: \-
o New keywords: delete, do, function, return
o New built-in functions: atan2, cos, sin, rand, srand, gsub, sub,
match, close, system
o New predefined variables: FNR, ARGC, ARGV, RSTART, RLENGTH, SUB-
SEP
o New expression operators: ? : , ^
o The FS variable and the third argument to split are now treated
as extended regular expressions.
o The operator precedence has changed to more closely match C
o The escape characters have been added to the extended regular
expression
15
Note that nawk does not support internationalized capabilities.
Industry Standards
ULTRIX fully supports a number of UNIX[R] industry standards:

o ISO 9660
ISO 9660 is an ISO standard for a volume and file structure for the
interchange of information using CDROM. ULTRIX is based on the fol-
lowing levels of ISO 9660:
- Level 2 of Interchange
- Level 1 of Implementation.
This implementation enables the user to:
o Mount single volume ISO 9660 formatted CD-ROMs as a local file
system
o List and examine files using standard UNIX[R] utilities and
programs
o Read files and directories using the standard POSIX system
interface
- NFS export mounted ISO 9660 file systems
- Execute local and remote non-interleaved files
- Execute interleaved files remotely through NFS
Internationalization
ULTRIX Operating System includes a comprehensive set of library rou-
tines, commands and utilities to support the development of interna-
tionalized application software.
o Native Language System (NLS)
18
The internationalized environment is based on the definition of the
NLS interface in XPG3. This includes language support databases, an
announcement mechanism (setlocale), and a message catalog system.
The base system includes language support databases for French, En-
glish, and German for each of three codesets: Digital's MCS, ISO 8859
/1, and ISO 646. A compiler, ic, is provided for users to define new
language support databases.
The default locale is called the C locale and is American English/ASCII.
The message catalog system includes the gencat utility and related li-
brary functions that are used to access a message catalog from a C lan-
guage application at run time.
o I18N Tools
A set of tools is provided to assist engineers with the process of ex-
tracting message text from C programs and generating message catalogs.
Message text source files can be translated using the utility trans
or with any 8-bit transparent text editor. These tools (extract, strex-
tract, strmerge) are designed to work with the XPG3 message catalog
system and are Digital enhancements to the NLS environment.
o Commands and Utilities
There are 71 8-bit transparent commands as specified in XPG3. Several
other commands are also 8-bit transparent including editors (vi, ex,
ed, sed) and networking commands (rlogin, ftp, tip, uucp).
All NLS commands are provided and conform to the XPG3 specification.
Refer to I18N Tools.
The utility iconv provides a mechanism for codeset conversion that may
be necessary in a heterogeneous network.
o Libraries
A library of internationalization routines that conform to XPG3 is pro-
vided (libi) as well as modifications to the standard C library. These
changes meet both the XPG3 and POSIX specifications.
ctype library routines have been modified to make use of locale/culture
specific information.
19
Standard C library functions handle 8-bit characters properly in ac-
cordance with XPG3.
The routines setlocale, strxfrm, strcoll, and strftime are in libc.
The setlocale routine allows users to select a specific instance of
localization such as dictionary or telephone ordering instead of char-
acter ordering (@modifier syntax).
o Kernel
The kernel provides support for the use of Digital's MCS character set
as well as ISO 8859/1 (e.g., 8-bit coded character sets).
o Networking
Networking commands provide full 8-bit character support. Mail is not
8-bit transparent since the U.S. government RFC 822 specifically states
that the high order bit is to be stripped. X/Open has recognized this
as a problem and will likely withdraw the requirement for 8-bit trans-
parent Mail.
DECnet is 8-bit transparent.
o Filesystem
The ULTRIX filesystem provides full 8-bit transparency.
Data interchange routines, such as tar and cpio, support 8-bit file-
names. This can potentially cause an interoperability problem with UNIX[R]
systems that only provide 7-bit ASCII support.
o System Administration
Usernames with 8-bit characters are fully supported and tools, such
as adduser, have been updated to reflect this.
20
Architectural Differences
The following differences exist between ULTRIX VAX cc and ULTRIX RISC
cc:
o Hardware architectural differences exist.
o ULTRIX RISC pointers are unsigned; VAX pointers are signed.
o Cannot dereference NULL ptrs on ULTRIX RISC; includes arg to strlen.
o asm() is not supported with ULTRIX RISC in any form.
o MIPS-ANSI C is not avaliable on ULTRIX VAX systems.
o VAX C is not available on ULTRIX RISC systems.
o The MIPS R2000, R3000 and R4000 series systems uses the COFF for-
mat (Common Object File Format) in its object files and load mod-
ules.
o The ULTRIX RISC compiler does not allow "old-fashioned" initial-
ization. An example of this, which works on VAX but gives a warn-
ing on ULTRIX RISC, is: int i 0;.
o varargs is different. Any program that tries to walk the argument
list by taking the address of an argument and incrementing it will
not be successful, especially for double precision arguments. Pro-
grams using the macros in varargs.h will work. Compiling with the
-varargs option on ULTRIX RISC will attempt to detect non-portable
code.
o The setjmp/longjmp buffer is larger on ULTRIX RISC. Programs with
a hard-coded ten-word buffer will fail; programs that correctly in-
clude the header file setjmp.h and declare a jmp_buf will work cor-
rectly.
o ULTRIX RISC has boundary alignment rules. User programs should only
see this as a performance issue (the kernel does fix-ups). It is
better, however, to align double-words, words and half-words on nat-
ural boundaries. The setsysinfo system call or uac command can be
used to turn off the fixup messages.
o ULTRIX RISC pointers cannot be used as the var on switch statements.
21
o ULTRIX RISC will not allow the same .c or .o file to be listed twice.
ULTRIX RISC will generate doubly defined symbol errors. VAX pcc al-
lows this.
o -L flag: On VAX pcc, -L flags on the line collectively affect -l
flags. On ULTRIX RISC, -L flags are seen strictly left to right,
so that a -l must come first.
o ULTRIX RISC global symbols do not have an extra leading underscore
added to them. This difference affects assembler programmers and
users of nlist(3).
o The -R (read-only text) option is not yet supported with ULTRIX RISC.
o -Md, -Mg options: Not needed on ULTRIX RISC; the hardware has only
one double precision format.
o ULTRIX RISC defines a macro (LANGUAGE_C, for instance) for the pre-
processor that makes it possible to write multilingual include files.
o cpp predefined symbols: Both VAX and ULTRIX RISC define ultrix, unix,
and bsd4_2. On ULTRIX RISC, the equivalent predefined symbol of vax
is mips. On ULTRIX RISC, MIPSEL and host_mips are also defined.
o Some ULTRIX options on the RISC R2000/R3000/R4000 series hardware
are not available on the VAX hardware:
-I (no dirname).
-P (preprocess, produce .i file).
-W (phase, opt).
-v (print commands).
-cpp, -nocpp: Most useful for languages other than C.
-G: Relevant only to MIPS architecture.
-j, -k, -ko: Relevant only to ULTRIX RISC compiler design.
22
-std, -std0, -std1 (warn nonstandard usage): vcc has -V stan-
dard=portable.
-volatile, -varargs: Modify compiler behavior in certain areas.
-V (print versions).
o ULTRIX RISC has big/little endian options -EB and -EL.
o -unsigned indicates that variables of type char are to be treated
as unsigned quantities. The default is to treat chars as signed.
o ULTRIX RISC recognizes the environ variables ROOTDIR and TMPDIR.
o Profiling: On VAX, there are two levels selected with -p and -pg.
On ULTRIX RISC, there are also two levels, selected with the -p op-
tion or by running the post-processor program pixie(1). The ULTRIX
RISC compiler is not affected by either option; all work is done
in the assembler or loader (or postprocessor).
o Optimization: On ULTRIX VAX, there is one level of optimization,
off by default and enabled with -O. On ULTRIX RISC, there are five
levels. By default, the second level is used; the -O0 option dis-
ables this, -O or -O2 invokes global optimization. More complex pro-
cesses can be invoked with -O3 and -O4. ULTRIX RISC also has the
-Olimit switch that allows optimization to be bypassed with overly
complicated code sections.
o Selecting alternate compilers: On both architectures, the -t and
-B options specify passes and paths; however, the pass names for
-t differ (there are more on ULTRIX RISC), and the semantics of -
B belong to the -h option; -B is used to specify a command suffix
instead. ULTRIX RISC also has -H, -K, and -# arguments designed for
compiler development work.
o Debugging information: ULTRIX RISC offers four levels, where VAX
has only two (on and off).
o FORTRAN and Pascal: FORTRAN and Pascal are sold separately as lay-
ered products. Certain portions of the unsupported code which are
architecture dependent on VAX is not available on ULTRIX RISC.
23
Hardware Requirements
The ULTRIX Operating System can execute on valid VAX, MicroVAX or Dig-
ital RISC based systems and must include the following minimum sys-
tem configuration. The actual amount of work supported at one time,
with good performance, depends on the types of processing performed
as well as on the physical memory and secondary storage available. (Re-
fer to ULTRIX Worksystem Software Product Description (SPD 28.22.xx)
for minimum hardware and device hardware requirements for all worksys-
tems.)
o Supported ULTRIX processor at appropriate hardware revision level.
o Minimum component of main memory (refer to the OPTIONAL HARDWARE
section).
o Supported ULTRIX system device capable of holding the supported sub-
sets (refer to the OPTIONAL HARDWARE section).
o For local (non-network) distribution, supported ULTRIX software load
and backup device.
o A valid load device for diagnostics.
o One console terminal with ASCII capability.
o The minimum memory configuration is 6MB for VAX and 8MB for RISC.
o Amount of memory supported is maximum supported by hardware con-
figurations or 512MB, whichever is less.
o No more than ten terminal multiplexers per ULTRIX driver type may
be configured. The actual number of terminal lines supported at one
time, with good performance, depends on the types of processing per-
formed as well as on the physical memory and CPU type.
o LAT and DECnet traffic is restricted to one Ethernet interface/controller.
Each Ethernet interface/controller must be connected to a separate
network or subnetwork in a routing configuration. Diskless activ-
ity requires the ability to communicate via mop. Therefore, disk-
less clients are also restricted to one Ethernet.
o TK50 media can be read but not written on a TK70 drive.
24
o To support an RL02 disk subsystem along with a UDA50 DSA disk sub-
system under ULTRIX, the RL02 controller should be placed on a sec-
ond UNIBUS. When both controllers are on a single UNIBUS the sys-
tem will experience Data Lates, Hard disk errors and sometimes file
corruption.
ULTRIX/CI Support
ULTRIX supports configurations that utilize the Computer Interconnect
(CI) hardware. A configuration can consist of a single node or up to
a maximum of 16 nodes, where a node is defined as being either an ULTRIX
supported processor or a mass storage server. A maximum of four mass
storage servers are permitted in a CI environment. Support is provided
for homogeneous CI (ULTRIX) environment only.
The mass storage server is a free-standing, high speed, intelligent
service designed to the specifications of the Digital Storage Archi-
tecture; it is known as the Hierarchical Storage Controller (HSC).
Network Remote Installation
RIS (Remote Installation Service) performs a remote installation through
a local area network. The RIS is structured to install remotely both
VAX and RISC workstations from a VAX or RISC server. To manage a large
number of workstation installations, the RIS is capable of installing
through a database file.
25
Diskless Workstations
ULTRIX supports a local area network of diskless workstations (clients)
managed from a central host equipped with the necessary mass storage
(the server). Centralizing the workstation's disk resources reduces
the overall system cost and simplifies the administration of the net-
work.
DMS (Diskless Management Service) performs diskless workstations setup.
The DMS is structured to set up both VAX and RISC workstations from
a VAX or RISC server. To manage a large number of diskless worksta-
tions, the DMS is capable of installing through a database file.
The following configuration guidelines apply to diskless workstations
and servers:
o All the ULTRIX supported VAXstation and Digital RISC worksystems
are supported diskless clients.
o The minimum memory configuration is 6MB for a VAX diskless client
or 8MB for a RISC diskless client.
o The minimum memory is 16MB for a VAX diskless server or 16MB for
a RISC diskless server.
o The MicroVAX 2000, VAXstation 2000, and any MicroVAX or VAXstation
server with an RQDX1, RQDX2, or RQDX3 disk controller is limited
to the support of three diskless clients.
o If multiple network segments are present, the DMS clients and server
must be on the same segment of the network.
The minimum hardware requirements for any future version of this prod-
uct may be different from the requirements for the current version.
26
Optional Hardware
Additional memory and/or secondary storage may be required depending
upon the need for ULTRIX software or optional software products and
usage of the ULTRIX Operating System.
Note: Combinations of hardware options are subject to limitations such
as bandwidth, physical configuration restraints, thermal dissipation,
and electrical loads/power.
(System configuration details are described in the VAX Systems and Op-
tions Catalog.)
The following tables list hardware options that are supported by the
ULTRIX Operating System. All device drivers for these hardware units
contained in The ULTRIX Operating System are warranted by Digital.

Notes:
1 Letter D = Data device only.
Letter L = Valid ULTRIX load device.
2 Disk and tape devices are connected to the DECsystem and DEC-
station via SCSI (Small Computer System Interface). There is
one integral SCSI controller. The SCSI controller will support
up to seven devices in any combination. The controller has an
identifier which can be set via the DS5000 Console Interface
(the factory default is id6). Each added device must have its
own unique identifier which must not conflict with any other
device, including the SCSI controller. The SCSI controller
should always have the highest id.
3 The DECsystem 5400 and 5500 pprovide by default, a DSSI bus
for RF disk support and an Ethernet interface. RF disks are
also supported by the KFQSA contoller. The DECsystem 5500 also
provides by default a SCSI interface for RZ disk and TZ tape
support. RZ disks and TZ tapes are also supported on the 5500
by the KZQSA controller.
4 Two KZQSAs are supported on the DECsystem 5500. All SCSI disks
and tapes listed in this SPD under the DECsystem 5500 are sup-
ported on the KZQSA. The KZQSA supports data devices only and
not boot devices.
5 Although there are 4 ports, ports 1 and 2 are not available.
Port 3 is a system console. Port 4 is available for printer or
modem.
6 The modems must be configured such that the Forced DSR at-
tribute is NOT set on the modem. If the Forced DSR attribute
is set, the modem will be unable to recognize loss of connec-
tion, and may incorrectly assume that a connection has been
established. Consult the modem's Owner's Manual for specific
information on clearing the Forced DSR option.
7 DEClaser support is equivalent to that which is available for
the LN03, LN03R, and LN03S printers.
34
8 Accepts TK50 distribution media.
9 Automatic stack loader tape drives are supported only by the
dump, restore and cpio system utilities.

4 The SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) cable length is
limited to six meters, thereby limiting the number of external
devices (tapes and disk) that can actually be attached to the
system per bus.
5 Disk and tape devices are connected to the DECsystem and DEC-
station via SCSI (Small Computer System Interface). There is
one integral SCSI controller and, optionally, up to three more
SCSI controllers may be added. Each SCSI controller will sup-
port up to seven devices in any combination. Each controller
has an identifier which can be set via the DS5000 Console In-
terface (the factory default is id6). Each added device must
have its own unique identifier which must not conflict with any
other device on its bus including the SCSI controller. The SCSI
controller should always have the highest id.
6 On the DECsytem 5000 Model 25/33/50, the RX26 device may ei-
ther be FDI-based, in which case it is integral in the system;
or SCSI-based, in which case it is a separate device. On the
DECsystem 5900, the RX26 is SCSI-based.
7 The DECsystem 5000 Model 25/33/50 has one general purpose asyn-
chronous/synchronous serial interface on the system module.
A TURBOchannel-based serial connector would be needed if more
serial lines are required.

PRODUCT NAME: DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel Software Microcode, SPD
44.47.00 Version 1.0
DESCRIPTION
The DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel Software Microcode is for the DEFTA-
FA, a Single Attachment Station (SAS) with 62.5/125 multimode fiber
media support. The DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel complies with Dig-
ital Equipment Corporation's TURBOchannel bus specification and ANSI
X3T9 FDDI standard. FDDI stations can be configured up to 2km apart
in the local area network. Customers can connect supported systems that
incorporate the TURBOchannel I/O bus to FDDI local area networks.
Characteristics of DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel Software Microcode
are:
o Initiates diagnostic self-test automatically at power-up and also
when initiated by host (DEC 3000 AXP) console
o Performs device initialization
o Implements ANSI draft FDDI Station Management (SMT) V7.2
o Supports Full Duplex FDDI (FDX) in a point-to-point configuration
with other Digital FDDIcontrollers with FDX, FDDIcontrollers with
Digital's licensed FDX, and with GIGAswitch
o Supports ANSI FDDI MIB II and DEC MIB extensions
Full Duplex FDDI (FDX) is a special feature which supports enhanced
performance in point-to-point connections and in switched FDDI LANs
connected with GIGAswitch. FDX allows concurrent transmission and re-
ceipt of datagrams using a protocol that does not use a token. There-
fore, transmission of data is never delayed due to lack of a token.
FDX is a Digital proprietary protocol but can be licensed from Dig-
ital.
DIGITAL March 1993
AE-PWTUA-TE
FDX has many advantages:
o No transmit delay waiting for a token
o Increased bandwidth between two nodes or multiple nodes
o Reduced round trip latency because data transmission does not pre-
vent message reception
o Fully FDDI compatible such that a DEFTA can increase the perfor-
mance of a server even when the clients are using FDDI controllers
that are not capable of FDX operation, or when the clients are us-
ing Ethernet
The DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel hardware is shipped from the fac-
tory with the DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel Software Microcode preloaded.
The microcode resides in electronically alterable memory within DEC
FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel hardware, and can be updated via console
utility if new versions of the microcode are issued. It is stored in
non-volatile memory which retains the contents even during power-off
states. The DEFTA-FA is customer installable.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel is qualified on the following systems:
DEC 3000 Model 400 AXP Workstation
DEC 3000 Model 400S AXP Server
DEC 3000 Model 500 AXP Workstation
DEC 3000 Model 500S AXP Server
DEC 3000 AXP systems support multiple DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannels.
Support of DEFTA is dependent on the number of slots available in the
hardware. Two modules per system were tested. DEFTA requires one TUR-
BOchannel slot.
The DEFTA-FA can be connected as an SAS device to an FDDI LAN via an
ANSI-compliant FDDI wiring concentrator such as the DECconcentrator
500 or an FDDI hub such as the DEChub 900. It can be configured with
a standalone FDDI concentrator as part of a workgroup. For larger LANs
2
requiring more flexibility, it can be connected to a dual ring, a tree
of concentrators, or a dual ring of trees topology.
Point-to-point configuration with two FDDIcontrollers is another sup-
ported formation. If the configuration uses two Digital FDDIcontrollers
that implement FDX, Digital FDX licensed controller, or GIGAswitch,
there is enhanced performance. Digital's options supporting FDX in-
clude the DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel (DEFTA) and DEC FDDIcontroller
/EISA (DEFEA).
Cables are not included. The DEFTA has ST connectors and thus requires
any fiber cable with ST-type connectors. Use BN24D-XX for FDDI MIC-
to-2.5mm bayonet ST-type connector patch cable. Use BN24E-XX for dual
2.5mm bayonet ST-type connector patch cable.
Electrical Specifications:
5 volts, 2.0 amps maximum
12 volts, 0.1 amps maximum
Module Size:
4.600" x 5.675"
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Drivers for DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel are included with the fol-
lowing operating systems:
DEC OSF/1(R) AXP Operating System V1.2

TCP/IP.
DECnet/OSI for DEC OSF/1 AXP V1.0 and DECnet for OpenVMS AXP V1.5 sup-
port DEFTA.
3
In addition to the Station Management support on the module, the prod-
uct has additional capabilities for network management applications.
The DEC OSF/1 AXP operating system supports Simple Network Management
Support (SNMP) agent, netstat, and fddi_config. The netstat applica-
tion can be used to report statistics. The fddi-config application can
be used to set characteristics of the controller. DECnet has mop sup-
port.
