Overview

HP XC System Software for Intel® Xeon Processors Version 1.0 (hereafter called XC System Software) is the for the operation and management of an HP XC3000 Cluster (hereafter called a XC System). The XC System is based on HP ProLiant DL360 and ProLiant DL380 nodes, connected to one another by a Myrinet Switch Network (XC Interconnect) from Myricom, Inc (Myricom). The XC System Software includes a distribution based on Version 2.4.19 and technology from Unlimited Scale Incorporated (USI), Myricom and Platform Computing Inc. (Platform) that supplies the infrastructure for optimal interconnect performance and throughput of parallel applications. In addition, the software provides users and system administrators with single-system attributes of managing and using HP XC system resources.

Product Overview XC System Software is a Linux-based parallel operating system that supports the management and execution of multiple parallel and serial applications on XC Systems ranging in size from 5 to 255 nodes. Nodes are specialized according to whether they primarily are used to run user applications (application nodes also known as compute nodes) or whether they offload system services (service nodes) from application nodes. The XC System is built to accommodate at least 1 service node for every 16 application nodes; but, can be configured with XC System Software to have as many as 32 application nodes for each service node.

XC System Software presents the user and the administrator with key single-system traits. Users see the XC System as a single system for login access, resource access, and job execution. Administrators can do all their administrative tasks from a single service node that has management interfaces for system management, performance monitoring, and hardware diagnostics, thus avoiding the complexity and difficulty of standard cluster administration. Except for the administration node which, for reliability, is managed independently, the XC System operates with a single root file system. Because the system files are not scattered across multiple locations, there is only one set of configuration data to be managed. The problems normally associated with managing version skew within a cluster simply do not occur.

XC System Software includes the drivers and runtime support for the XC Interconnect. It also includes a highly-optimized MPI message-passing , the highly optimized HP MLIB math library, and a complete and integrated parallel and serial execution environment that includes the and batch- processing technology based on Platform LSF V5.1.

Standard Features

Component Specialization and Isolation The XC System is a full-service system. However, unlike many other clustered systems, the system services are organized to optimize the performance of technical applications that require tightly coupled synchronous cooperation between processes running on multiple nodes. This optimization is accomplished by offloading the system services to specialized nodes, called service nodes, which provide all of the operating and administrative services one normally expects from a full-service system.

In the XC architecture, applications are executed on one or more specialized application nodes. Operations that are not of direct benefit to the application performance have been migrated to other system components external to the application node. This results in application nodes that are dedicated to the application's task. Single processors are dedicated to the execution of an application's individual process. Virtually all services provided on the application node are dedicated to the application. This reduces or eliminates the context switching and resource contention normally found on general purpose systems.

Within the XC System, there is a brief handshake between the application node entering the cluster and the service node managing the allocation. After that, there is no additional required communication until the processors of the node are allocated. In other words, there is little overhead on the XC System to maintain membership in the cluster. This lightweight membership model helps avoid the high cost encountered in most cluster systems for nodes to join and remain in a cluster.

On XC service nodes, similar services are collected into roles. For convenience of expression, service nodes are occasionally identified by one of the service roles for which they are used. So, for example, a leader node is a service node that is responsible for a leader role. Note that the leader node may also be responsible for other roles. Roles include:

Administration: Used for initial system booting. Serves the master copy of system files to other nodes. Also used for central administrative access to low-level system control and monitoring. The XC System has a single administration node. Leader: Acts in concert with the administration role to distribute administration services and thus to facilitate scaling. For example, by offloading network traffic, the leader role improves scalable access to the shared root file system. Facilitates scaling of the shared root file system by offloading network traffic. The leader role distributes master system software files to the logical administration group of application nodes for which it is responsible, monitors those nodes, and acts as a gateway between those nodes and the administration node. Login / command: A service node with the login and command role allows users to log in and build, run, and monitor user applications. I/O: I/O roles may optionally be restricted to be "exclusive", in which case they cannot be combined with other service roles on that node. I/O roles may be used for file I/O, in which case they are used to export file systems via NFS to the service and application nodes of the XC System. I/O roles may also be used to import and export (i.e., redirect) file systems via NFS between the XC System and external systems. For "exclusive" I/O roles, those nodes can be used for NFS-redirection or NFS-mounting, but not both. Resource Manager: Provides low level resource bookkeeping. Hosts the resource allocation . Network Director: Responsible for external connections.

Various roles can be combined within a single service node (in a small configuration), and shared across multiple service nodes, or they can be placed on separate service nodes depending on the needs of the environment. With this approach, the services are isolated from the application nodes and as needed, roles can be spread across multiple nodes to support scaling needs or isolated within single service nodes to avoid contention.

In another example of isolation to avoid contention and interference, all nodes of the XC System are interconnected via a private administrative network that is used to support administrative tasks. The administrative network enables the administrative traffic to proceed without interfering with the application activity.

Single Host The HP XC (LVS) is used to present a single host name to users so that they see the XC System as a single system for login access to prepare and launch high-performance applications. LVS also provides a single-system view to other network clients. LVS frees clients from having to connect to specific nodes for services and, in addition, permits services to be connection-balanced over different service nodes. Although network connections cannot be opened from external addresses directly to the application nodes, the XC System Software supports Network Address Translation (NAT), which allows all nodes in the system to open network connections to external addresses. NAT can also be used to include the XC System to be a member of a NIS (Network Information Services) domain. In addition, the operational characteristics of the file systems are established to provide the user with a single file context as described in the next sections. Given these characteristics, the user is able to connect to a single virtual system and operate regardless of the specific service node or application nodes applied to the user's task.

HP XC System Software for Intel Xeon Processors QuickSpecs Version 1.0

Standard Features

File System With the single exception of the administration node, all nodes of the XC System share a single, unified system file base that contains:

Single copy of base system files, i.e. one copy of "ls" Role-specific files to support the different roles and services Node-specific files to support node uniqueness, such as node name and network adaptor addresses

These files are organized such that all nodes use the base system files, then for a specific node the files appropriate for the roles contained on the node and finally node specific files. The system files reside on the administration node and are served to both service nodes and application nodes using NFS over Ethernet. In order to reduce potential bottlenecks, system files may, as a result of frequent access, become cached on leader nodes.

Because all nodes of an XC System, except the administration node, share system files, you need only perform most management tasks once (occasionally this may needs to be done one extra time for tasks that also pertain to the administration node), rather than repeatedly for each individual node. For example, you can install Fortran just once, rather than once on each node. Also, you need only configure most network applications once.

XC System Software provides a single namespace global file system for user data as well as system files and configuration data. User files can be organized - using NFS over the XC Interconnect - such that the same environment appears both on the user accessible service nodes and on the application nodes. External files are also accessible to the XC System. The external files are NFS-mounted by service nodes. Access to external files by application and general service nodes is achieved through NFS redirection. Finally, for high-speed temporary storage, local disks are supported on application nodes.

The XC global system file and user file systems, as well as the local file systems, are based on the Linux ext3 file system.

Workload and Resource Management XC System Software provides both direct job allocation and policy-scheduled interactive and batch queue management based on Platform's software product - LSF Version 5.1. The preferred usage of the XC System is through scheduled, rather than direct, access. HP XC LSF (LSF) provides a rich set of scheduling policies for scheduling and prioritizing jobs based on combinations of static and dynamic system attributes, such as the number of processors, job attributes, such as time limits, and user-attributes, including uid, gid, account id, project id, and priority-based quotas for size and time allocation. LSF policies include first-come-first-served, fairshare, hierarchical fairshare, deadline-constrained, exclusive, adaptive dispatch, backfill, preemptive, and job slot reservation. An extremely reliable network-based queuing mechanism provides maximum flexibility and central administration of all work in the cluster while ensuring that all work submitted to the XC System runs to completion. An extensible LSF checkpoint interface supports application level checkpointing on the XC System, when supported by the application. In addition, LSF tracks all usage on the XC System and provides an accounting log for system utilization and chargeback analysis.

Scalable application resource management is implemented through a combination of processor control threads (PCTs) for managing individual processors, an application launcher for servicing job requests and building the process context for execution, and an application allocator, which is a scheduling gateway between the launcher and the PCTs. Parallel application workload is scheduled via a gang-scheduled, space-sharing mechanism, in which a parallel job is allocated a set of application nodes on which the job starts and runs to completion. The nodes then become free for scheduling other work. Serial applications can also be deployed on the application nodes. Serial jobs are scheduled to run on their own individual nodes. Interactive jobs and batch jobs, while launched from the service nodes, are also scheduled and deployed on application nodes. Users may view system usage information through the application control (appctl) utility, which provides information such as:

Total number of processors Number of free processors Number of processors in use Status of individual applications Owners of individual applications Elapsed time of individual applications

Standard Features

To minimize the impact on application performance, the LSF services and daemons only need to operate on command nodes, and they interact with application nodes through the XC System resource management infrastructure. Driven by the compelling value to be gained from a tight integration of LSF into the XC System Software, certain features have been introduced to augment LSF Version 5.1:

A simple command line interface that provides consistency between direct job submission and batch job submission onto the XC machine Daemons spread among service nodes in order to share the LSF load Simple, easy-to-replace security mechanism that allows organizations to modify LSF for XC System security as needed A rich command line interface includes a resource-requirement specification syntax, support for serial job submission in the form of a script, and so on Controls (for example limits, signal passing, exit codes handling) and accounting for parallel workloads Various configuration options - for example user account mapping, time-based configuration, pre/post-execution scripts, and job starters Extensive support for site-specific customization and extension through various plug-in interfaces Multiple XC3000 Systems within one LSF cluster LSF Multi-Cluster (requires optional license from Platform)

The following LSF Version 5.1 features are not supported in XC System Software:

Interactive remote execution (LSF Base) and load-sharing Specification of a processor count range -that is, a minimum and maximum number of processors Some elements of workload control - for example stop/resume, preempt Some limits, for example, virtual host slot, memory, and process Accounting and LSF Analyzer

Administration and Configuration The XC System Software administrative tools provide mechanisms for configuring, controlling, managing, and monitoring a node or groups of nodes. The XC System can be entirely controlled from the administration node across the administrative network. In addition, many of the administrative tools can be executed on any of the command nodes. Command line and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are both available. For example, the admin-sys command provides a GUI that displays a hierarchical view of system components. The administrator may select the components to obtain detailed static and dynamic information about those components. For a summary view of the system, the admin-sys utility also permits selection of a 3D view of the system, color- coded to represent selectable states of the nodes.

The XC System Software configuration and administration tools provide system administrators with:

Efficient system discovery and bring-up procedures. Consistent configuration management. Comprehensive and integrated system monitoring and control, including failure identification.

The dconfig utility, which has a graphical interface, is employed to configure the system. Configuration tasks include specification of the kinds of physical nodes and interconnects, service and application nodes, logical administrative groups, and assignment of roles to the various service nodes.

The XC System Software supports the familiar Linux administration command set and also has a Linux-style environment on both login nodes and the administration node, to manage file systems and networks. These are augmented by tools that provide:

Control over the number and availability of application nodes to facilitate scheduling. Monitoring of physical status and control over low-level hardware functions. System-wide command execution (crsh). Views into the hardware interconnect (where applicable), and other services, such as the XC LSF queuing system.

Standard Features

System initialization and system software upgrades are both parallelized. The system reboot process is modular, enabling most components of the system to be rebooted individually while the balance of the system continues to run. The XC System initiates the boots from one node using simple commands, making booting both efficient and scalable. The XC System Software exploits, via the console and power commands, the integrated remote console management capability of the Proliant DL360/DL380 servers to control power and the boot process without connecting directly to the individual node. The remote management ports support power on/off and system boot via an XC System Software tree hierarchy (via the leader nodes). This tree hierarchy isolates network traffic for the boot process to the individual administrative subnets, thereby providing an overall system boot time (after booting the administration node) nearing a single node boot time. Other administrative activities, such as software updates, are also parallelized for maximum efficiency and scalability.

XC System Software provides monitoring of system metrics, such as CPU and memory utilization, system and CPU temperatures and fan speeds, and various other parameters that help users and administrators understand the overall system performance and utilization. Monitoring daemons run on all nodes. Poller daemons run on the service nodes with administration and leader roles. The monitoring daemons wait to be polled by the poller daemons, each of which polls the nodes under its control at configurable intervals. Resulting data is stored and accessed in the HP XC System Management Database (SMDB), which is SQL (System Query Language) based. Database -access utilities include allcpu, which displays - for the list of nodes provided - the processor idle percentage, fan speed, and temperature for each processor. Other database-access utilities are available. For more general access to the SMDB, the lookup command can be used to examine any of the entries in the SMDB in detail.

Modules The XC System Software system includes the XC Modules package (not to be confused with kernel modules), which provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment via module files. The module command processes the information contained in the module file to alter or set the shell environment variables, such as PATH and MANPATH. Users can add their own module files to further modify their environment. The module files that are automatically installed and that are specific to XC System Software include intel-compilers, mpi, and modules.

MPI The HP XC MPI library is an optimized implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI-1) specification and is based on MPICH Version 1.2.5 from Argonne National Laboratory and Mississippi State University. Fortran and interfaces are provided. The HP XC MPI library is layered on top of the Myricom GM2 library, which is specially designed to perform highly efficient communication between nodes connected by the Myrinet interconnect. Also, highly efficient communication within a node occurs through shared memory operations performed with minimal data movement.

MLIB HP XC MLIB provides high-performance math libraries in support of application developers looking for ways to speed up development of new applications and to shorten the execution time of long-running technical applications.

HP XC MLIB contains robust callable subprograms, including all BLAS 1, 2, and 3 subroutines, sparse BLAS subroutines, and a collection of commonly used dense and sparse linear system solvers, including LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, SuperLU_DIST, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs), and convolutions. HP MLIB is also available on HP-UX and Linux systems ranging from single-processor servers to multiprocessor high-end servers such as the Superdome. HP XC MLIB is optimized for Intel Xeon and Itanium® 2 processors.

Standard Features

Linux XC System Software includes HP XC Linux for High Performance Computing (HPC Linux), an LSB-compliant Gnu/ (kernel and supporting software packages) based on Linux Kernel Version 2.4.19.

Linux is the open source operating system kernel, created by in the early 1990s, and subsequently adopted and maintained by thousands of people world-wide. All official releases of the Linux kernel can be found at the kernel.org web site, http://www.kernel.org.

The system utilities and services come from the Gnu project and from a variety of other open source projects. The base collection of Gnu/Linux utilities provided with the XC System Software are derived from the Red Hat Linux Version 7.3 packages of Red Hat, Inc. However, the set of packages included with the XC System Software is neither supported nor endorsed by Red Hat. The following supported packages (RPMs) include RPMs based on the corresponding RPMs in the Red Hat Linux Version 7.3 distribution: 4Suite-0.11.1-8 PyQt-3.1-2 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-8 Distutils-1.0.2-2 PyQt-devel-3.1-2 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-8 GConf-1.0.9-4 PyXML-0.7-4 XFree86-devel-4.2.0-8 GConf-devel-1.0.9-4 SDL-1.2.3-7 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-8 Glide3-20010520-13 SDL-devel-1.2.3-7 XFree86-libs-4.2.0-8 Glide3-devel-20010520-13 SDL_image-1.2.1-4 XFree86-tools-4.2.0-8 Guppi-0.40.3-5 SDL_image-devel-1.2.1-4 XFree86-twm-4.2.0-8 Guppi-devel-0.40.3-5 SDL_mixer-1.2.1-4 XFree86-xdm-4.2.0-8 ImageMagick-5.4.3.11-1 SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.1-4 XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-8 ImageMagick-c++-5.4.3.11-1 SDL_net-1.2.3-2 Xaw3d-1.5-12 ImageMagick-c++-devel-5.4.3.11-1 SDL_net-devel-1.2.3-2 Xaw3d-devel-1.5-12 ImageMagick-devel-5.4.3.11-1 SysVinit-2.84-2 Xconfigurator-4.10.7-1 LPRng-3.8.9-4.1 VFlib2-2.25.6-4 a2ps-4.13b-19 MAKEDEV-3.3-4 VFlib2-devel-2.25.6-4 -0.99.5-2 MySQL-python-0.9.1-1py1 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-8 access-1.0-1 ORBit-0.5.13-3 XFree86-4.2.0-8 alchemist-1.0.23-1 ORBit-devel-0.5.13-3 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-8 alchemist-devel-1.0.23-1 Omni-0.5.1-3 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-8 anacron-2.3-17 Omni-foomatic-0.5.1-3 apmd-3.0.2-10 -3.0.5a-0.73.0 bug-buddy-2.0.6-9 cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.1-0.20020313.3 arpwatch-2.1a11-12 byacc-1.9-19 cups-libs-1.1.14-15.4 arts-1.0.5a-0.73.0 bzip2-1.0.2-2 curl-7.9.5-2 arts-devel-1.0.5a-0.73.0 bzip2-devel-1.0.2-2 curl-devel-7.9.5-2 ash-0.3.7-2 bzip2-libs-1.0.2-2 cvs-1.11.1p1-8.7 aspell-0.33.7.1-9 ca-tools-1.0-16hot cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-25 aspell-devel-0.33.7.1-9 cdda2wav-1.10-11 cyrus-sasl-devel-1.5.24-25 at-3.1.8-23 cdecl-2.5-22 cyrus-sasl-md5-1.5.24-25 atk-1.0.1-1 cdlabelgen-1.5.0-11 cyrus-sasl-plain-1.5.24-25 atk-devel-1.0.1-1 cdp-0.33-22 dateconfig-0.7.5-7 audiofile-0.2.3-1 cdparanoia-alpha9.8-8 db1-1.85-8 audiofile-devel-0.2.3-1 cdparanoia-devel-alpha9.8-8 db1-devel-1.85-8 aumix-2.7-8 cdparanoia-libs-alpha9.8-8 db2-2.4.14-10 authconfig-4.2.8-4 cdrecord-1.10-11 db2-devel-2.4.14-10 authconfig--4.2.8-4 cdrecord-devel-1.10-11 db3-3.3.11-6 autoconf-2.13-17 -3.0.5a-0.73.0 db3-devel-3.3.11-6 autoconf253-2.53-3 chkconfig-1.3.5-3 db3-utils-3.3.11-6 autofs-3.1.7-28 chkfontpath-1.9.5-2 dchkconfig-1.1-16hot

HP XC System Software for Intel Xeon Processors QuickSpecs Version 1.0

Configuration Information

Hardware Requirements Processors and Systems Supported XC System Software must be run on each node of a valid configuration, such as an HP XC3000 Cluster. The supported application nodes are HP ProLiant DL360 systems with Intel Xeon processors at a clock rate of either 3.06 GHz or 3.2 GHz, and the supported service nodes are HP ProLiant DL380 systems with Intel Xeon processors at a clock rate of either 3.06 GHz or 3.2 GHz. The service nodes and application nodes must have the same frequency as one another. Each node must be connected to the others with the XC Interconnect.

Valid hardware configurations and options include those that comply with the HP XC System specification provided in the HP XC3000 Cluster Reference Guide or that are electrically equivalent to such a specification. Any other hardware configuration or option will be considered invalid unless the software documentation explicitly states otherwise.

XC System Software installation instructions can be found in the HP XC Installation Guide, which is part of the HP XC Administration Documentation Kit.

Disk Space Requirements The storage configuration must comply with the HP XC3000 Cluster Reference Guide. Precise file system and partition size requirements are provided in the HP XC Installation Guide, which is part of the HP XC Administration Documentation Kit. Each application node can either be configured without local storage or swap, or must have one local disc with at least 18 GB to be used for swap and storage. Each service node must be configured with at least 18 GB of local storage. Typical minimal disc requirements for administration and leader nodes are: / 3.0 GB /home 3.0 GB /hpxc 2.0 GB swap 4.0 GB /var 4.0 GB These sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the user's system environment, configuration, and software options.

Memory Requirements At least 1 GB of memory per processor is required on each node of the XC System.

Software Requirements XC System Software is completely self-contained and does not require the installation of any other software, though most sites will want to augment it with additional compilers and tools (see the following).

Optional Software Several commercially available software packages have been tested and qualified to interoperate with the XC System Software. These include:

Intel Fortran 95 Compiler Version 7.2 (includes ldb debugger) Intel C Compiler Version 7.2 Intel C++ Compiler Version 7.2 Etnus TotalView debugger Version 6.0 Pallas Vampir and Vampirtrace performance analyzer Version 3.0

Configuration Information

Software Licensing Information Use of XC System Software is subject to an HP base license, an HP quantity-specified license, and the license terms in files in the physical media. Using the software indicates acceptance of all of these license terms. XC System Software contains portions of third-party software, some of which is proprietary to that third party, and some of which is open source software, including but not limited to: Linux kernel and packages, Quadrics libraries, Myricom libraries, and MPI libraries (the Bundled Products). License and warranty terms associated with the Bundled Products appear in files with the Bundled Products, which are distributed, for example, in a CD kit.

The HP Terms apply to that binary-only portion of the XC System Software that is proprietary to HP or to a third-party and does not apply to or override, expressly or by implication, the terms associated with the Bundled Products. The HP Software License Terms include a license grant in which HP grants you a nonexclusive, non-transferable license to Use one copy of the XC System Software on the Quantity Of Processors contained in a Conformant System. A "Conformant System" is an HP computer or a connected collection of HP computers that conform to the hardware configuration specifications provided in the Software associated documentation. The quantity of processors for which the license applies (Quantity Of Processors) is the total of the number of processors specified as part of the HP quantity-specified license. "Use" means storing, loading, installing, executing, or displaying the Software. Other terms of the HP Software License are provided on the license agreement that is delivered with the XC System Software.

For more information about the Hewlett-Packard Company licensing terms and policies, contact your local Hewlett-Packard office.

License Management Facility Support XC System Software supports the FlexLM License Management Facility. The FlexLM license key is provided upon presentation of a valid license key request form. This form is delivered with the software license (see the ORDERING INFORMATION section of these QuickSpecs). For more information about installing the XC System Software license keys, refer to the HP XC System Software Installation Guide.

Distribution Media Software and documentation for XC System Software are available on separate CDs in the CD-ROM kit (QA-72DAA-H8 / BB302A-AAF). Documentation in printed format can be ordered separately; see the ORDERING INFORMATION section of these QuickSpecs for more information. Patch kits may be required, and can be downloaded from the website http://www1.itrc.hp.com/.

Software Warranty This software is provided by Hewlett-Packard with a 90-day conformance warranty in accordance with the Hewlett-Packard warranty terms applicable to the license purchase.

The following information is valid at time of release. Please contact your local Hewlett-Packard office for the most up-to-date information.

Software Licenses Some or all of the following multi-CPU licenses will be available in the "2-5-2" and "6-4" part number formats: PART NUMBER (2-5-2) PART NUMBER (6-4) DESCRIPTION SHORT PRODUCT NAME QB-72DAA-SA BA302A-AAF Unlimited base license and media HP XC for XEON CD/DOC/LIC QM-72DAA-AB BA302A-001 Unlimited 1-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 1 CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AC BA302A-002 Unlimited 2-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 2 CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AD BA302A-003 Unlimited 16-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 16CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AE BA302A-004 Unlimited 64-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 64CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AF BA302A-005 Unlimited 128-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 128CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AG BA302A-006 Unlimited 256-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 256CPU LIC QM-72DAA-AH BA302A-007 Unlimited 512-CPU use license HP XC for XEON 512CPU LIC In some locations, it may be necessary to employ alternative part number formats. For the most up-to-date information, please contact your local Hewlett- Packard office.

In an XC System, all of the CPUs must be licensed. Every XC System must also include a base license. The licenses can be combined. For example, a system with one service node (2 CPUs) and 16 application nodes (each 2 CPUs) could be licensed by combining two 16-CPU licenses with one 2-CPU license and one base license. Alternatively, if you plan to upgrade your system later, you could order a single 64-CPU license plus a base license, which would then leave some room for later system expansion without requiring additional software licenses.

Software Media The software is available in a CD-ROM kit: HP XC for XEON CD/DOC KIT: QA-72DAA-H8 / BA302A-100. The CD-ROM kit includes separate CD-ROMs for software and documentation.

Software Documentation Documentation is included in the same CD-ROM kit as the software media. The documentation CD-ROMs include LSF documentation in addition to all of the material available separately in hardcopy format. Hardcopy documentation kits are available as listed below with their component manuals.

For the purposes of Hewlett-Packard Software Product Services, the product is regarded as XC System Software only if it has not been modified by the customer. Although the software includes licenses permitting modification of certain parts of the software, such modifications - unless they are provided by HP under a support agreement, or provided by HP as a licensed product - will result in a variation of the software that may no longer be called XC System Software, and that therefore is not the subject of any standard service agreement for XC System Software. A variety of service options are available from Hewlett-Packard. Service offerings are also available for additional software packages that may be distributed along with XC System Software but that are otherwise not included as part of the XC System Software. For more information, contact your local Hewlett-Packard office.
