The tests of the base - system gives equal results than on Solaris. There are - some problems with the 'ic' application (CORBA) and there - may be some 'mnesia' problems (the tests where not completed - when I wrote this note) - - * OTP normally try to handle IP host name lookups - by itself, parsing /etc/hosts and other configuration - files. This is done because the normal calls like - gethostbyname() is blocking. In this UnixWare port - the normal gethostbyname() is used and if a reply - from the name server takes some time this may block - the OTP system from doing other tasks (it may be the - case that it doesn't block the whole system, it may - just keep other Erlang processes that do DNS lookups - waiting, I'm not sure). - - * The erl_interface library support varios types of threading - This is not supported in the OTP UnixWare release. - - * If you use gcc you compile and link dynamic drivers with - - gcc -fPIC -c foo.c - ld -G -t text -o foo.so foo.o - - With the UnixWare C compiler I belive it will be - - gcc -KPIC -c foo.c - ld -G -t text -o foo.so foo.o - - * The default shell limits was a problem when I was running - some large tests. These limits can be changed by building - a new kernel. To enable unlimited use of virtual memory - and data you do as root - - % /etc/conf/bin/idtune SDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF - % /etc/conf/bin/idtune HDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF - % /etc/conf/bin/idtune SVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF - % /etc/conf/bin/idtune HVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF - % /etc/conf/bin/idbuild - - When you reboot a new kernel will be built. - - * I didn't give the system enough swap space. You can add - swap on an ordinary file. To add about 100 MB more swap - you do as root - - % dd < /dev/zero > /moreswap bs=512 count=200000 - % swap -a /moreswap 0 200000 - - The first line will create a 100 MB file on the root partition - and the second line will add this file as swap space. Note that - the "swap" command is a bit buggy and may hang. Reboot UnixWare - and try again. - -Internel notes on build the release - - * If the network addresses are changed you enter single user - mode by hitting a key after the "Booting UnixWare..." and - the beep. At the prompt - - BOOT# Hit return only to clear line - BOOT# INITSTATE=S - BOOT# go - - This will put you into single user mode. Find out ip address, - default router and DNS server.
