DESCRIPTION
The DIGITAL UNIX Operating System is a 64-bit advanced kernel archi tecture based on Carnegie-Mellon University's Mach V2.5 kernel design
with components from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) 4.3 and 4.4,
UNIX[R] System V, and other sources. DIGITAL UNIX is DIGITAL Equip ment Corporation's implementation of the Open Software Foundation[TM]
(OSF[R]) OSF/1 R1.0, R1.1, and R1.2 technology, and the Motif[R] graph ical user interface and programming environment.
DIGITAL UNIX provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), real-time sup port, and numerous features to assist application programmers in de veloping applications that use shared libraries, multithread support,
and memory mapped files. The full features of the X Window System[TM],
Version 11, Release 6 (X11R6) from the X Consortium Inc. are fully sup ported. Selected features of Release 6.1 (X11R6.1) are also supported.
DIGITAL UNIX complies with numerous other standards and industry spec ifications, including X/Open[TM]'s XPG4 and XTI, POSIX[R], FIPS, and
System V Interface Definition (SVID). By providing support for the SVID,
DIGITAL UNIX supports System V applications. To ensure a high level
of compatibility with DIGITAL's ULTRIX Operating System, the DIGITAL
UNIX Operating System is compatible with Berkeley 4.3 and System V pro gramming interfaces. DIGITAL UNIX conforms with the OSF Application
Environment Specification (AES) that specifies an interface for de veloping portable applications that will run on a variety of hardware
platforms.

ServerWORKS Support
DIGITAL UNIX supports the DIGITAL Server Base System MIB and the DIG ITAL Server Management MIB as a means of providing methods for local
and remote management of systems. Each MIB is registered with the SNMP
daemon (master daemon) via its respective subagents; the DIGITAL Server
Base System MIB under svrSystem_mib subagent and the DIGITAL Server
Management MIB under svrMgt_mib subagent. The DIGITAL Server Base Sys tem MIB subagent reports on the state of an Alpha Server System, in cluding hardware components (CPU, Cache, Memory, System Buses), firmware
and environmental information. The DIGITAL Server Management MIB sub agent can monitor attributes of the system (thermal value, fan sta tus, power supply status) and invoke actions (post traps and log the
event in system log) if the attributes exceed their pre-defined thresh olds. If specified, it can poll the attributes on every restart of the
subagent. The functionality delivers an enabler for any SNMP compli ant software package, such as Netview for DIGITAL UNIX or ServerWORKS
for Windows NT or Windows 95, so that server systems can be managed
by such packages. The DIGITAL Server Base System MIB (svrSystem.mib)
and the DIGITAL Server Management MIB (svrMgt.mib) definitions can be
found in the /usr/share/sysman/mibs directory on a system with DIG ITAL UNIX Version 4.0D or higher.
Storage Management

memory statistics) and the who command are provided.
DIGITAL UNIX includes DECevent that provides error reporting and binary to-text translation capabilitites. This tool ships as part of the As sociated Products CD-ROM.
FILE SYSTEMS
The DIGITAL UNIX file system architecture is based on OSF/1 Virtual
File System (VFS) which is based on the Berkeley 4.3 Reno Virtual File
System. VFS provides an interface into files regardless of the file
system in which the file resides.
DIGITAL UNIX supports the following file system types:
- Advanced File System (AdvFS)
- UNIX File System (UFS) - based on the Berkeley Fast File system
- Network File System (NFS)
- Memory File System (MFS)
- ISO 9660 Compact Disk File System (CDFS)
- File-on-File Mounting File System (FFM)
- File Based Pipes
- /proc File System
File system limits are documented in the DIGITAL UNIX Release Notes.
Advanced File System (AdvFS)
The Advanced File System (AdvFS) is a journaled, local file system that
provides higher availability and greater flexibility than traditional
UNIX file systems. Using transaction journaling, AdvFS recovers file
domains in seconds rather than hours after an unexpected restart such
as a power failure. AdvFS journaling also provides increased file sys tem integrity. In order to reduce file fragmentation that can impact
I/O performance, the defragment utility is part of AdvFS. AdvFS pro vides greater flexibility by allowing filesets (file systems) to share
a single storage pool, and enabling hard and soft fileset quotas in
addition to user and group quotas. The root/boot device can be option ally configured to use AdvFS during installation. The file descrip tors have been extended, which allows for a greater number of SNA gate way connections. Additionally, there is now a salvage utility avai
able for retrieving lost files and file domains. See the Advanced File
System Release Notes for more detail.
The right to use the Advanced File System is granted by the DIGITAL
UNIX Operating System license. In addition, a separately licensed, op tional layered product, the Advanced File System Utilities, can be or dered. Refer to the OPTIONAL SOFTWARE section of this SPD for more in formation.
UNIX File System (UFS)
UFS is compatible with the Berkeley 4.3 Tahoe release.
Network File System (NFS)
DIGITAL UNIX NFS V2 allows transparent file access over TCP/IP net works. In addition, the Network Information System (NIS), formerly Yel low Pages (YP), is provided for centralized system management of files.
The automounter service automatically mounts and unmounts NFS file sys tems. The NFS locking service allows advisory and record locks to be
used with remotely mounted files.
An NFS V3 server and client protocol implementation is provided in ad dition to V2. NFS V3 includes 64-bit support for file access, exclu sive create semantics, negotiable transfer sizes, safe asynchronous
writes, added support for access checking and other changes designed
to increase efficiency and performance. NFS file systems can use ei ther the UDP or TCP transport protocols.
Network Lock Manager (NLM) V4 includes support for files larger than
2 GB. Support for additional over-the-wire error code is also provided.
NLM V3 is supported for NFS V2 compatibility.
V2 PC-NFS server support is provided, enabling connectivity from PC NFS V5.1a, 5.1, 4.0 and 3.5 clients.
Memory File System (MFS)
The DIGITAL UNIX MFS is a memory-based UFS. The MFS has the same file
system structure characteristics as the UFS, but resides in virtual
memory. No permanent file structures or data are written to disk, so
the contents of an MFS file system are lost on reboot, unmount, or power
failure. An MFS is useful for temporary files or for read-only files
that are loaded into it after it is created.
ISO 9660 Compact Disk File System (CDFS)
The DIGITAL UNIX implementation of CDFS is based on ISO 9660, a stan dard for a volume and file structure for the interchange of informa tion using CD-ROM. DIGITAL UNIX CDFS is based on the following lev els of ISO 9660:
- Level 2 of Interchange
- Level 1 of Implementation, which enables the user to do the fol lowing:
- Mount single volume CD-ROMs which are formatted in compliance
with ISO 9660, as a local file system
- List and examine files using standard UNIX utilities and pro grams
- Read files and directories using the standard POSIX system in terface
- NFS export mounted ISO 9660 file systems
- Support the High Sierra Group extensions which provide compat ibility with older format CD-ROMs
CDFS also supports CD-ROMs recorded using the Rock Ridge Interchange
Protocol, Revision 1.09, August 1991. Rock Ridge specifies the use of
the extension fields that are defined by ISO 9660:1988, and it uses
those extensions to provide the following information:
- File owner, file group, file permissions
- Additional file types (symbolic links, device special files, named
pipes)
- setuid, setgid, and sticky bits
- Hard link counts
- POSIX file names (mixed case names, unstructured names, and longer
names than ISO-9660:1988 allows)
- Deep directory hierarchies (greater than 8 levels)
- File time stamps
XCDR extensions - X/OPEN Preliminary Specification (1991) CD-ROM Sup port Component (XCDR). XCDR extensions allow the user to examine se lected ISO 9660 attributes through defined utilities and shared li braries. In addition, functionality is provided to allow a system ad ministrator to substitute different file protections, owners, and file
names for CD-ROM files.
The Compact Disk File System (CDFS) supports the organization of mul tiple sessions on one CD-ROM volume. Note that the contents of all ses sions are available as one file system and are not separately avail able. See the Compact Disk File System Release Notes for more infor mation.
File-on-File Mounting File System (FFM)
The File-on-File Mounting File System (FFM) allows regular, charac ter, or block-special files to be mounted over regular files, and is
primarily used by the SVR4-compatible system calls 'fattach' and 'fde tach' of a STREAMS-based pipe (or FIFO).
File-Based Pipes
A file-based pipe implementation replaces the socket-based pipes im plementation for improved performance.
/proc File System
The SVR4-compatible /proc file system for DIGITAL UNIX allows running
processes to be accessed and manipulated as files by ordinary system
calls, open, close, read, write, seek and ioctl.
Logical Storage Manager (LSM)
DIGITAL UNIX Logical Storage Manager (LSM) is an integrated host-based
solution to data storage management. Basic LSM functionality, includ ing disk spanning and concatenation, is provided with the base oper ating system. Additional features, including disk striping, mirror ing, and a graphical user interface, are available with a separate li cense. LSM is RAID Advisory Board (RAB) certified for RAID Levels 0
and 1. Refer to the OPTIONAL SOFTWARE section of this SPD and the LSM
SPD for more information.
A migration utility is provided to allow LVM users to migrate their
LVM volumes to LSM. This utility will be retired in a future release
of the operating system, no sooner than June, 1998.
The Logical Storage Manager Block Change Logging (BCL) feature will
be retired and replaced in a future release of the operating system,
no sooner than June, 1998. Please refer to the LSM and DIGITAL UNIX
Release Notes for additional information.
NETWORKING
TCP/IP
DIGITAL UNIX allows for TCP/IP network communications over supported
network devices. The TCP/IP protocol suite is implemented in the socket
framework.
Sockets
DIGITAL UNIX provides sockets that are based on the Berkeley UNIX Op erating System structure, which provides a framework for I/O over a
network.
STREAMS
DIGITAL UNIX provides SVR4-compatible STREAMS. Like sockets, STREAMS
provides a framework for character I/O to and from user space to ker nel networking protocols.
X/Open Transport Interface (XTI)
X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) is an extension to the System V STREAMS
user space interface called Transport Level Interface (TLI). This in terface is thread-safe.
Data Link Bridge (DLB)
DIGITAL UNIX provides an DLPI-compatible interface into the non-STREAMS
(BSD) driver environment. This interface does not support complete DLPI
semantics. The DLB interface is the preferred interface for STREAMS
modules to access the BSD-based datalink services.
Screend
When the system is operating as an IP router, screend provides flex ible per-packet access controls for forwarded packets. This can be used
as one part of a comprehensive network security plan. DIGITAL UNIX also
provides an interface access filtering to reinforce the system secu rity against IP spoofing attacks.
Packetfilter
The Packetfilter is a software interface that allows an application
to send and receive packets directly to or from a LAN (Ethernet or FDDI).
The Packetfilter provides flexible demultiplexing (filtering) of in coming packets, so that many such applications can run simultaneously.
The DIGITAL UNIX Packetfilter supports two filtering models: the orig inal CMU/Stanford model, as supported in ULTRIX, and the BSD Packet
Filter (BPF), which provides more flexible and efficient filtering.
(BPF was developed by the University of California, Lawrence Berke ley Laboratory.)
Several public domain applications that use the Packetfilter are in tegrated in DIGITAL UNIX including rarpd, tcpdump, tcpslice, nfswatch,
and nfslogsum.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The SNMP Agent allows management of the Internet, FDDI, system resources,
and network resources using the SNMP. The agent is also extensible,
allowing software developers to add MIBs to the agent, and partici pate in the SNMP.
The SNMP agent contains the following base system functionality:
- Full SNMP V1.0 agent capabilities
- MIB implementations for managing Internet MIB-2 objects, FDDI ob jects, and Token Ring objects
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DIGITAL UNIX includes a complete DHCP server/client solution for cen tralizing and automating IP address administration. A graphical in terface enables server system managers to easily configure IP config urations with various DHCP clients.
Point to Point Connections
The DIGITAL UNIX system supports point-to-point connections using SLIP
(Serial Line Internet Protocol) and PPP (Point to Point Protocol). The
PPP subsystem is asynchronous and supports only IP. It provides au thentification with PAP (Password Authentification Protocol) and CHAP
(Cryptographic Authentification Protocol).
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE)
DIGITAL UNIX provides the framework to support the Distributed Com puting Environment (DCE). DCE is a separate layered product but the
run-time service license is bundled with the operating system. DCE pro vides users with access to resources, regardless of their location on
the network. It extends system level services to allow applications
to interoperate with one another, port to other platforms, and be dis tributed over the network.
Open Network Computing (ONC)
DIGITAL UNIX supports Open Network Computing (ONC) V4.2 including: Net work File System V2 and V3, PCNFSd, Lock Manager, Status Monitor, NF Sportmon, Network Information Service (NIS), automount, and user level
RPC.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
The DIGITAL UNIX Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) subsystem supports
the ATM Forum's User-Network Interface (UNI) V3.0 and V3.1 specifi cations, including the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) pro tocol for reg- istration of up to 32 addresses per interface, UNI sig naling for point- to-point connections, and best effort and CBR VCs
for AAL5 PDUs. Also, per- VC cell pacing (to limit the rate at which
an end-system transmits) is supported.
The ATM subsystem supports Classical IP (RFC 1577), including support
for multiple IP subnets, per-VC MTU negotiation, and packetfilter ac cess to data into and out of the host.
LAN Emulation Over ATM is supported (Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 frames
only), for carrying IP and LAT protocols. Support is based on the ATM
Forum V1.0 specification. Packetfilter access is provided to emulated
LAN data into and out of the host.
DIGITAL UNIX provides limited support for IP Switching over ATM, based
on the Ipsilon Networks Inc. reference model (RFC 1953 and 1954). Only
one IP switching network device is supported per host, and an ATM adapter
used for IP Switching cannot simultaneously support ATM Forum UNI or
ILMI protocols. The ATM subsystem (except IP Switching and PVC's) can
be configured to start automatically at boot time, using the atmsetup
utility. The current form of the atmsetup utility will be replaced in
the next major functional release (no sooner than December 1998) with
a version that is part of the System Management (SysMan) application
suite.
DIGITAL UNIX does not support the UNI V3.0 and V3.1 specifications for
full ATM Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Infor mation Bases (MIBs), point-to-multipoint connections, Operations and
Maintenance (OAM) flows, VBR VCs, AAL1, AAL3/4, or "raw" AAL.
Fast Ethernet
DIGITAL UNIX supports Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 100Base-TX). Refer to
the OPTIONAL HARDWARE section for specific hardware supported.
FDDI
DIGITAL UNIX provides FDDI fiber optic support. Refer to the OPTIONAL
HARDWARE section for specific hardware supported.
Token Ring
DIGITAL UNIX supports Token Ring with source routing support for multi ring networks. Refer to the OPTIONAL HARDWARE section for specific hard ware supported.
IP Multicast
DIGITAL UNIX supports the Level 2 end-system IP Multicast function ality, specified in RFC 1112, on Ethernet and FDDI. The implementa tion provides integrated multicast address management for multipro tocol environments.
The DIGITAL UNIX implementation also provides kernel routines for en capsulating IP tunnels to enable wide area IP Multicast routing.
These routines include kernel code from public domain Multicast sup port version 3.5 and mrouted (version 3 Copyright 1989 by the Board
of Trustees of Leland Standford University) which provides the Dis tance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP).
Name Services
DIGITAL UNIX supports the Domain Name System as described in RFC 1034
and RFC 1035, providing a host name and address lookup service for the
Internet network. The DIGITAL UNIX implementation of the Domain Name
System is based on BIND version 4.9.3. The user can use BIND to re place or supplement the host's database. DIGITAL UNIX also supports
Sun's Network Information Service (NIS), formerly known as Yellow Pages
(YP). NIS can be used to replace or supplement hosts, aliases, group,
networks, password, protocols, rpc, and services databases.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
DIGITAL UNIX provides the Network Time Protocol (NTP) V3 to synchro nize and distribute the time for all machines in a network environ ment. The time synchronization daemon, xntpd, is used to distribute
time to all machines in a network.
Time Synchronization Protocol (TSP)
DIGITAL UNIX provides Berkeley's Time Synchronization Protocol (TSP).
TSP synchronizes the time of all machines in a network without ensur ing the accuracy of the time that is provided.
Local Area Transport (LAT)
DIGITAL UNIX provides a STREAMS-based implementation of the Local Area
Transport (LAT) that serves terminals to one or more service nodes on
a local area network (LAN). LAT allows a host to function as both a
service node and a server node. It also enables host applications to
initiate connections to server ports (designated as application ports)
to access remote devices such as printers.
LAT/Telnet Gateway
The LAT/Telnet gateway service supported in DIGITAL UNIX provides a
gateway from a LAT terminal server to allow connections to TCP/IP nodes
using intermediate LAT hosts.
Number of Logins
The following maximum number of logins are supported:
RLOGIN: 3,162*
Telnet: 3,162*
LAT: 4,575*
Note: *These numbers can vary depending on hardware configurations and
user workloads.

SECURITY
The DIGITAL UNIX Operating System, running Enhanced Security, is de signed to exceed the requirements of the C2 evaluation class of DoD
5200.28-STD "Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria", also known
as the Orange Book.
DIGITAL UNIX supports various configurations and setup scripts which
allow selection of desired Enhanced Security features such as extended
passwords, audit and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
System Administrators have a choice of command line interfaces or GUIs.
The GUI tools improve the ease of use of administering the system's
Enhanced Security.
Network Information Service (NIS) Compatibility
Support is provided for accessing NIS distributed databases while run ning Enhanced Security. NIS can also be used to distribute the Enhanced
Security protected password database. The number of simultaneous lo gins allowed is dependent on the configuration.
Security Integration Architecture
All security mechanisms on DIGITAL UNIX are part of the Security In tegration Architecture (SIA). The SIA isolates the security-sensitive
commands from the specific security mechanisms, thus eliminating the
need to modify the security-sensitive commands for each new security
mechanism.
The following C2 security functionality is included in DIGITAL UNIX:
Discretionary Access Controls
Provides the capability for users to define how the resources they cre ate can be shared. Optional access control lists (ACLs) provide greater
granularity of file system object protection at the individual user
level than the default DAC protection. The ACL mechanism is designed
to POSIX draft 13, with some draft 15 enhancements.
Auditing
A tool is provided to monitor normal, as well as unauthorized usage
of a system with a choice of a GUI or command line interface.
Identification and Authentication
- Password length and lifetime are based on the Department of Defense
Password Management Guideline (Green Book).
- Extensive login controls, such as automatic account lockout, ac count vacationing, per terminal settings for delays and maximum con secutive failed logins, password usage history and system gener ated password.
Object Reuse
This ensures that the physical storage assigned to shared objects or
physical storage that is released prior to reassignment to another user,
does not contain data from previous users.
Integrity
Provides the capability to validate the correct operation of hardware,
firmware, and software components of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB).
System Architecture
A separate execution domain is maintained for the Trusted Computing
Base (TCB) components using hardware memory management to protect the
TCB while it is executing.
Note: DIGITAL UNIX, with Enhanced Security, provides tools and mech anisms that help the system maintain the level of trust for which the
system was designed. No system can provide complete security and DIG ITAL cannot guarantee system security. However, DIGITAL continually
strives to enhance the security capabilities of its products. Customers
are strongly advised to follow industry recognized security practices.

Memory Requirements for Asian Language Variants
Applications running under a single Asian language variant can oper ate within the memory requirements of the base operating system. Run ning multiple Asian language variants in a single session will require
additional memory for satisfactory performance.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The DIGITAL UNIX Operating System can execute on valid DIGITAL Alpha
systems and must include the minimum system configuration as described
in the SUPPORTED HARDWARE section of this SPD. 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.
- DIGITAL UNIX requires the minimum component of main memory to be
64 MB.
- DIGITAL UNIX MINIMUM DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS: The minimum disk space
requirement for installing the DIGITAL UNIX operating system is chang ing due to additional features and services which are being added.
This change will take effect in the next major release of DIGITAL
UNIX (no sooner than June 1998). The minimum disk space required
to support a single disk operating system installation will be 1GB
(such as an RZ26) for both default and custom installation types.
- The following numbers have been compiled from typical update in stallations from V4.0A, V4.0B, and V4.0C to V4.0D. The Additional
Space Needed values represent the typical amount of space needed
per file system by the update installation procedure during the course
of an update. These values take into account the additional pro cessing space for temporary files that the update installation re quires and will vary depending on your specific hardware config uration and file system type. These values have been determined be fore the use of the Update Administration Utility.

SOFTWARE LICENSING
The DIGITAL UNIX Operating System software is furnished under the li censing of DIGITAL Equipment Corporation's Standard Terms and Condi tions.
There are four types of DIGITAL UNIX Operating System licenses avail able on Alpha processors:
Operating System Base License (QL-MT4A*-6*)
LMF Product Name: OSF-BASE
This license grants the right to noninteractive use of the file, ap plication, batch, print, and compute services of the DIGITAL UNIX Op erating System on a single processor.
This license also authorizes up to two concurrent interactive users
of the system (see Interactive User below). The two interactive users
authorized as part of the Operating System Base License are additive
with Concurrent Use License quantities, but may not be separated from
the Operating System Base License.
In addition to the two interactive users, login as root is also au thorized for system management purposes only. If a DIGITAL UNIX Base
License is not registered and activated using the LMF, then login by
root only is permitted for system management purposes.
The Operating System Base License is a prerequisite for Concurrent Use
Licenses, Unlimited Interactive User Licenses, and SMP Extensions to
Base Licenses.
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Extension to Base License
(QL-MT4A9-6*)
LMF Product Name: OSF-BASE
SMP Extensions extend the Operating System Base License to enable sym metric multiprocessing (SMP) capability on those DIGITAL UNIX systems
supporting SMP. SMP Extensions to Base are permanently tied to the Op erating System Base License and may not be separated from the Oper ating System Base License if an SMP board is removed from the system.
One SMP Extension License is needed for each active processor in the
SMP system that is additional to the initial processor authorized by
the Operating System Base License.
SMP Extensions grant the right to use the same version of the Oper ating System software as permitted by the corresponding Operating Sys tem Base License at the time when the SMP Extension is installed.
Concurrent Use Licenses
(QL-MT7AM-3*))
LMF Product Name: OSF-USR
An Operating System Base License is a prerequisite for Concurrent Use
Licenses on the same system.
These licenses grant the right to interactive use of the DIGITAL UNIX
Operating System. The Concurrent Use Licenses are are available in var ious quantities which can be combined to match any total desired.
Multiple user licenses of the same or different quantities may be in stalled and used together on a given system to authorize system use
by the sum of their quantities. These user licenses authorize users
in addition to the two users authorized as part of the Operating Sys tem Base License.
Concurrent Use Licenses are redesignatable and can be installed and
used only on a single DIGITAL UNIX system at a time.
An interactive user, either a person or device, is one that is logged
in to a DIGITAL UNIX processor or is interactively using the operat ing system software by means other than a login.
Unlimited Interactive User Licenses (QL-MT7A*-AA)
LMF Product Name: OSF-USR
An Operating System Base License is a prerequisite for an Unlimited
License for interactive users on the same system.
This license grants the right to use of the DIGITAL UNIX Operating Sys tem by an unlimited number of interactive users on a system.
An Unlimited License for interactive users grants the right to use Soft ware versions authorized under the Operating System Base License in
effect at the time of the grant of the Unlimited Interactive User Li cense.
