- ================================================================
- REVISED OS/2 FOR SMP SUPPORT PROCEDURES
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedure
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Support for OS/2 SMP is expanded to included all hardware
- claiming to be MPS 1.1 or Intel 1.1 compliant.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OS/2 for SMP was tested to run on all the hardware listed on the
- package box. OS/2 for SMP should also run on any hardware
- compliant with the MPS 1.1 or Intel 1.1 specification (standard).
-
- - If the hardware claims to be MPS 1.1 or Intel 1.1 compliant,
- OS/2 for SMP is supported on that hardware. The problem needs
- to be investigated - business as usual.
-
- - If the customer wants to return OS/2 For SMP, because of
- problems that cannot be resolved, for example: change team
- cannot correct with code, hardware is not compliant with MPS
- 1.1 or Intel 1.1, code change required but is not in current
- future release, etc..
-
- The customer can take their receipt to the dealer
- where they purchased OS/2 For SMP.
-
- The customer can call the IBM General Information
- number (1-800-426-3333), if they purchased OS/2 For SMP
- more than 30 days ago, and ask about getting a refund.
-
-
- General OS/2 for SMP Process Information:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OS/2 for SMP PMRs should only enter at Level 2. Socrates
- determines the correct Level 2 input queue and forwards the PMR
- to that location. OS/2 for SMP should go to one of following
- queues: Disk, Dosap, Hngtr, Instl, Mkbcm, MMPM, Other, OS2OEM,
- Print, Video, Winap, Wpshl.
-
- OS/2 for SMP runs in uni-process and multi-processor mode.
- Switching an OS/2 for SMP multi-processor mode environment
- to a uni-processor mode can be done by remming out the
- Platform Specific Driver (PSD=) statement in the CONFIG.SYS and
- restarting the system. For example the Proliant has the following
- statement in the CONFIG.SYS: PSD=PROLIANT.PSD.
-
- This information helps when performing PD/PSI on a particular
- OS/2 for SMP reported problem. If the problem is unique to
- multi-process or uni-processor mode, this information helps
- determine if the failure is related to the OEM hardware, or
- the OS/2 for SMP code.
