Have you tried using the versions command to see if all three of the files mentioned by the manual have been installed?
Code:

ml              OpenML Media Library, 1.0 for IRIX 6.5

ml_alaudio       Open ML AL Audio Execution Environment

ml_sddigvid      DMediaPro DM6 ML Execution Environment

The manual mentions that the DM6 uses SGI's implimentaion of OpenML as a driver.

Interesting, because as far a I saw the DM6 isn't mentioned even obliquely in any of the OpenML documentation on TechPubs. The DM2/3 are specifically mentioned in the DMediaPro DM2/DM3 Board OpenML Media Library Owner's Guide . It might be worthwhile to take a look at that manual to see if any of the installation steps might shed light on your issues. For instance the Installing the DMediaPro Software subsection mentions that the DM2/3 <xtdigvid> software installation requires the separate installation of the xtdigvid images <and a reboot>. I don't have a DM6 on hand to test against, but that might be an where confirming the installation of all the files with the versions command would be useful <and try a reboot if you haven't already>.

@ QuicksilverG4 - Did you have the opportunity to check your OpenML installation with the versions command? You've probably already been through the complete installation/verification process, but I ran across a thread where someone mentioned having to install the DM6 drivers in two stages, similar to what was required with the OpenML drivers for the DM2/3.

Drivers successful installed. First ml1.1 installed then sddigvid in second process.

Result this with mlquery command:

DEVICES:
nullXcode:0

sd-digvid:0

Seemed to be ok.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8669&p=74895&#p74895

EDIT: I opened the DM6 distribution, and it does look like SM selects both by default - tho I could deselect the DM6 drivers without generating a installation conflict. If that unlikely scenario occuried it would still be possible to have used the mlquery tool - it's installed with the ML software and would run without the DM6 packages being installed:

There is no ml_audio package in the drivers from SGI BTW.
Looks like the DM6 never reached maturity before IRIX development started to fizzle. The release notes for the DM6 mention
Code:
BUG 856875
Currently Embedded AES/EBU Audio is not supported. This will be fixed in a future version.
Most of the other DMediaPro and other OpenML based drivers have subsequent releases and/or patch files. I don't have full SupportFolio access any more, but I didn't find any patch files for the DM6 , so that future version might be a long time coming.

I bought a few of these and have a spare.
One other thought - are these boards specifically the version OEM'd for SGI <or are they a version of the DVS SDStation meant for use in a different platform>?

The 6.5.21_dmediapro_dm6_1.1.2 release notes give the impression that specific firmware might be required:
Code:
Changes, Additions, and Bug Fixes
BUG 910691
Add firmware support for new board (version 71.0)

All DMediaPro(TM) DM6 boards are shipped from the factory with the latest
firmware installed. If firmware needs to be updated in the field,it can
be done via: /usr/dmedia/bin/sd_digvid/update 71 0
You might see if your syslog happens to include a line for the DM6 where the firmware is mentioned <or try one in a PC to see if the firmware revision is visible there>. If it's not 71.0 you could try a flash. Any firmware update has an element of risk <even more so if this is a cross-platform flash> so proceed with caution if you decide to try it.

The whole 6.5.21_dmediapro_dm6_1.1.2 package looks like a first revision rush job. In addition to a list of unfixed bugs, the release notes for the OpenML portion were copied verbatim from the DM2/DM2 release <there's not a mention of the DM6 in the ML release notes>:
Code:
1.  Introduction
This documentation describes the 1.0 release of the OpenML
Media Library Software Development Kit (ML1.0) for IRIX.

ML1.0 support the DMediapro(tm) DM2 and DM3 products which
are HD & SD digital video options for Silicon Graphics
Octane2 workstations (DM2), Onyx3000 series graphics
supercomputers (DM3), and Origin3000 servers (DM3).

Here's all of the bugs mentioned in the release notes:
Code:
Known Problems and Workarounds
BUG 861187
Currently only the base 4:2:2 signals are supported via the connectors
on the PCI header. This provides the following I/O connections:
Digital Video Input
Digital Video Output
Analog Video Output
Analog Genlock Input
An accessory will be available in the future to provide additional
connections for supporting 4:2:2:4 and 4:4:4:4 dual-link Video I/O.

BUG 857553
The MLmodule does not currently expose a control for SYNC HDELAY and
VDELAY. This will be fixed in a future revision.

BUG 861201
Occasionally the first transfer after the system has been started up
contains a duplicate UST value.

BUG [none yet]
The DM6 PCI Video Interface card currently always powers up in PAL mode.
Running an application will sense the actual timing and will change the
default mode accordingly.

BUG 858620
A problem exists where once a video path (input or output) has been
started, then controls on a seperate path cannot be modified. An attempt
to do so will return a ML_STATUS_DEVICE_BUSY status error. Therefore a
process that is designed to do both and input and output must set the
controls on both the input and output paths before starting the
transfers. And the pixel formats must be the same for both paths - eg.
one cannot be doing YUV to RGB on input and be doing YUV to YUV on
output. This will be fixed in a future revision.

BUG 858750
A problem exists in that the default signal being sent to the output
video jack when there is no active DMA from memory cannot be specified.
This will be fixed in a future revision.

BUG 856875
Currently Embedded AES/EBU Audio is not supported. This will be fixed in a
future revision.

BUG 857583
The video jack cannot yet be openned seperately to provide access to
jack specific controls. This will be fixed in a future revision.

Changes, Additions, and Bug Fixes
BUG 910691
Add firmware support for new board (version 71.0)
The ML Diagnostic software isn't on the default install path, have you had the opportunity to see if it provides anything that might prove helpful?

I didn't see any details for supported graphics options either, but to be fair it is a pre-release announcement.

While looking I did find something else that will hopefully see improvement before long. The OpenBSD 4.6 changes page includes the following change note:
The OpenBSD 4.6 changes page wrote: Disable memory above 2G on sgi machines.


The OpenBSD/sgi page does give a few additional details:
The OpenBSD/sgi page wrote: The following families are supported:
* IP27 (Origin) family:*
* Origin 200. Dual-Origin 200 systems using the CRAYlink connection should work, but currently limited to the first node.
* Origin 2000 and Onyx 2 have not been tested, but should work, currently limited to the first node.
* IP30 (Octane a.k.a Speedracer) family:*
* Octane
* Octane 2
* IP32 (O2 a.k.a Moosehead) family:
* O2
* O2+
R5000, RM5200, RM7000 as well as R10000 and R12000 processors are supported. RM7000 level 3 cache is supported.
* IP35 (Tezro) family:*
* Fuel
* Origin 300, Onyx 300 and Origin 3000 have not been tested, but should work, currently limited to the first node.
* Origin 350, Onyx 350, Onyx 4 and Tezro have not been tested, and are not supported yet due to lack of support for their PCI-X controller.
* support for these families has been added after the 4.5 release.

Projects (in no particular order)
* Larger user VM space (currently limited to 2GB)
* Onboard Ethernet support on Octane and Origin families
* Framebuffer support on Octane and Fuel systems
* SMP support
* Multiple node support on Origin systems (in progress)
* Origin 350 and Tezro ``PIC'' PCI-X controller support and IOC4 built-in I/O devices support
The mention of "Framebuffer support on Octane and Fuel systems" in the Projects list does make it sound like VPro support isn't quite ready yet - even in framebuffer mode.

I'd recommend moving neko_firefox-2.0.0.22pre_sept2009.tardist to /current. I haven't had the opportunity to reassembled the SM/TB box, but will do so and test them asap.

They're probably doing the same thing they're doing in Huntsville - selling directly to a recycling center.

Lack of public sales at the surplus store not withstanding, there certainly hasn't been any shortage of Origin 300s on eBay with a PNW location and the same specs at those from Huntsville. You might do some research on who in the are does technology recycling. Maybe you can find a pallet or two of O2s yourself.

Wrote on the subject of Onyx2 with disabled shoebox [solved] at Oct. 12, 2009, 8:26 a.m...
Your description of confirming the midplane with another XIO card and replacing the compression connector on the shoebox would make me suspect the shoebox has a defect <not related to the compression connector or midplane connection>.

However, your original post included a link error that could be related to the issue:

Code: Select all

Reading link 9 (addr 0x9200000009000004) failed


If you attempts to flush the POD log didn't clear the link error message, there are a series of LEDs on the midplane that can be used to diagnose XIO link failures.

There's a neko-wiki on the subject with photo illustrations < Origin2000/Onyx2 Diagnostics: Midplane LEDs >. If your system is an Onyx2 Deskside, I didn't have access to an Onyx2 Deskside when I prepared the wiki, so there aren't any details or photos for the Onyx2 Deskside.

Having warned you of that, there's probably a good chance that the LEDs on the Onyx2 Deskside are identified with similar markings <and function in the same fashion>, so the info might still prove to be useful.
http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/ ... plane_LEDs

If your Onyx2 is a Deskside, feel free to post a description and close up photos of the LEDs and I'll add them to the wiki.

After looking at your photo, I don't think you're losing the link - the green LED on the left indicates a successful link, the yellow LED on the right indicates activity <or a fault>. That particular pair of LEDs are associated with node 1 - so it might be possible that node 1 isn't used during the the run2 test.

linkstat or xbstat might give you some additional detail on the router/xbow activity during the test.

My guess is that the issue with Seamonkey and add-ons is related to Seamonkey Bug #45701 . I ran across the bug trying to track down similar problems with Seamonkey and AdBlock Plus <follow the link to "Why is it impossible to install Adblock Plus into a SeaMonkey profile?">.

If bug #45701 is the cause of the issue with add-ons, then it would appear the issue is endemic to all platforms where an add-on requires XPCOM <so it's not just the nekoware port>. The bug has "won't fix" status, so a direct resolution probably won't come until the next major revision <Seamonkey 2.0?>.

You can probably resolve the IPv6 <tcp6/udp6> and unqualified host errors in the syslog by comparing the configuration of your IRIX box with some of the suggestions in the wiki.

The usefulness of an unmodified SGI system as a general use desktop is directly proportional to the increase in background noise, and inversely proportional its ability to remain unnoticed.

Get the most powerful system you can afford, and don't put it where you sleep, pray, or routinely hold whispered conversations.

Or stick an Origin 300 in some distant / less lived in portion of the house, and remote the display to something with a small enough thermal footprint to fall within your comfort zone for up close and personal use.

The ones around here won't allow the case to be opened, but all most all of them will allow you to power it up if for no other reason than to confirm it works.

I'd suggest taking a laptop and null modem cable to get an hinv, but also take a list of Octane VPro, processor module and DIMM part numbers. Run an hinv if possible <it's quicker and offers more detail>. If they won't allow a power up but will let you open it pull the graphics carrier first. If it's a V12, take it. If it's not, then pull the system board and decide if what's there is worth it to you.

In that case you might take a keyboard and mouse too <or borrow them there>. If you fire it up out without a kb&m, the PROM will direct the system output to the serial port <rather than the monitor>.

Wrote on the subject of Question: external DVD-Rom and Octane at Oct. 31, 2009, 3:26 p.m...
I have and use the same drive. It's based on a Pioneer 304 mechanism , and is an excellent drive for use with SGI/IRIX because it allows for bootable DVDs <something the OEM Toshibas DVD-ROMs used by SGI won't do>.

As it was explained to me, that drive wasn't intended to be connected directly to an external SCSI cable - but inserted into a chassis that provided the other half of that connection. There's a blue lever on the bottom of the DVD-ROM case that was used to cam it in and out of place into that chassis.

My solution was to remove the drive and install it a different enclosure. I had one on-hand with a Pioneer slot-loading CD-ROM, so I used that enclosure *and* faceplate. Emphasis on faceplate because the faceplate on the HP drive is designed to be part of the enclosure. If you don't happen to have a spare enclosure and faceplate, it shouldn't be too difficult to remove the connector shown in your photo and replace it with a conventional 50-pin SCSI connector. The mounting plate for the SCSI connecter can be removed without tools, it's secured at the top by three plastic tabs accessed from the inside of the case <the faceplate can also be removed from the case, but because of the size and amount of integration into the case design I think it would be easier to replace the connector. Or perhaps some of the HP collectors will know of an external SCSI cable that will mate to the HP connector

The photo is from flickr - the poster mentions "We are getting ready to decommissioning this guy here. Z10s are taking this sysplex's place." If you'd like to investigate further, that photo came from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pchow98/2803534867/

If you like a better idea about the power, airflow and cooling requirements, IBM's on-line specifications for the z9 can be found here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/hardware/

It wouldn't hurt anything try the PROM command "update", but something doesn't seem right. Both of the ones I've done automatically appeared during the first power-up after installation.

Can you post the output of the L1 command "serial all"?

Considering that rough handling displaced the serial daughterboard, it might not be a bad idea to make sure the XIO/PCI riser is fully seated/undamaged.

Had enough yet? :D Looks like there might be another candidate for your 6U VME board collection: http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicon-Graphics-SG ... 679wt_1016

Though this one isn't quite as mysterious: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi ... /ch01.html

It's intended to link a VME expansion chassis to an Origin 200(0) / Onyx2 <or with the right brick, even an O3k>: http://www.sgi.com/products/software/react/vme.html

A guess might be that he found this thread and figured there might be some demand for Crimson parts.

That's the downside to blanket posts of SGI related eBay listings on nekochan. The seller couldn't pay for better SGI-centric exposure - and it lessens the odd chance that someone might get lucky and win an entry bid auction.

Very nice! Any plans to add graphics?

BTW, were you able to use the pin-out information to set up a power supply for your L2 controller? Like you, I have two systems with L2 controllers, and have I've found the L3 software to be very handy as an overall controller/remote monitoring tool for both systems. I run it on the same lightweight system used as a Synergy host <run so I can share a single keyboard and mouse between the Onyx 300, Onyx 350, a PC and a Mac>.

Wrote on the subject of iMac thoughts? at Dec. 22, 2009, 5 a.m...
They recently built new Apple store not far from me - I stopped in to kick the tires on a few of the new Macs right after it opened. I was primarily looking at the Mini, but got some seat time with an iMac. I was impressed. <tho I might like to run that 27" panel at a higher resolution>.

If I was gonna buy one I'd probably go with an extended apple care plan. I had a dual 1.42 MMD that ended up having just about everything in it replaced during the extended warranty period, so in that case the apple care plan was well worth it <tho the power supply did die a couple of months after apple care ran out>.

It didn't look that tight. They must have had it set at a lower resolution - and I never got the opportunity to change it. That new apple store is right next to a college - the staff mostly looked like the elite end of the college-hip spectrum <or is it hip-hop nowadays?>. I must have looked like I didn't fit in 'cause a couple of 'em hovered over me the entire time and gave me the do-you-understand-the-words-coming-out-of-my-mouth / don't-break-anything treatment. <though to be fair I had just got done helping a friend rebuild the tranny on a harley and rode through just enough rain to have accumulated some patina so I probably did look a little rough around the edges>.

Wrote on the subject of Period Comparison of Onyx(1) IR and Commodity Graphics at Dec. 24, 2009, 9:54 a.m...
Ran across this web page <with a date of August 2000> that does some limited comparisons of the triangles per second and fill rate performance of an IR equipped Onyx( 1 ) and several period PCs with commodity graphics cards running linux. While the author acknowledges the tests weren't meant to be anything other than a superficial comparison < "The exact numbers given by tenmillion are almost as meaningless as a CPU's MIPS rating, but they do give some idea of the relative performance of the different systems, and are also good for seeing the effect of different options (triangle size, texturing, lighting, etc). >, I found it interesting.

http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/CAVE/linux/speed/

A few more semi-related pages by the same author: http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/CAVE/

I mentioned a similar comparison by the same author in this nekochan thread: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15636&

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the links to running Quake2 in an SGI Cave system: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15636&p=122514&#p122514
