Patch Name:  PHKL_10505

Patch Description: s700 10.16 Kernel audit buffer exceeds space constraints

Creation Date: 97/04/03

Post Date:  97/04/09

Warning: 97/04/30 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP.

	The patch was build without the kernel rebuild attribute.
	However a kernel rebuild is required to activate the
	fix the patch provides.
	There is no need to remove the patch from systems
	having it installed.  A manual kernel rebuild and reboot
	will solve the problem.
	A replacement patch, providing for an automatic
	kernel rebuild, will be provided to supersede this patch.

Path Name:  /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_10505

Symptoms:
        PHKL_10505:
        Under certain conditions when system auditing
        is enabled, the audit statistics available from
        auditcmd -c will show that the configured limit
        for audit space used has been exceeded.

Defect Description:
        PHKL_10505:
        Under heavy system load with auditing enabled,
        the kernel memory area used to hold audit records
        queued for delivery to the audit daemon can
        use more memory than configured limit for audit
        space memory usage.

        This is a temporary condition and the audit
        daemon will return the excess memory to the
        system as it processes audit records.

Installation Instructions:
        Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
        SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
        and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
        restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
        before installing this patch.
        ------------------------------------------------------------
        1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

        2. Login as root.

        3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

        4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

                cd /tmp
                sh PHKL_10505

        5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
            patch:

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHKL_10505.depot

        5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
            server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

                swcluster -i -b

            This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
            force all clients to be shut down.

            WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
                     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
                     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
                     serious problems.

            The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
            you must specify:

                alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
                source depot path    -  /tmp/PHKL_10505.depot

            To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
            "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
            from the Menubar.

        5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

                - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
                  the patch on the cluster server.

                - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
                  the patch on the cluster clients.

        By default swinstall will archive the original software in
        /var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_10505.  If you do not wish to retain a
        copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
        named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

        Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
                 patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
                 when using this feature.

        It is recommended that you move the PHKL_10505.text file to
        /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

        To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
        tape drive, use the command:

                dd if=/tmp/PHKL_10505.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
