Patch Name: PHKL_10769 Patch Description: s700 10.20 Fix PCI/HPMC bug + CCIO driver performance patch Creation Date: 97/05/16 Post Date: 97/06/23 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHKL_10769: PANIC Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_10769 Symptoms: PHKL_10769: On C200 and newer workstations with PCI there is a possible HPMC that can occur due to a hardware bug in certain revisions of the PCI bus ASIC. This patch prevents the HPMC from happening. PHKL_9965: The performance of some drivers (mostly Networking, and for example ATM) was not optimal on Cache Coherent IO systems such as the K-series. Defect Description: PHKL_10769: Certain revisions of the PCI bus ASIC can cause an HPMC due to a incorrectly decoded memory address. Only one 4K page of memory per 256Megabytes of real memory are affected. The fix involves mapping the page(s) out so that they are unavailable to the system. PHKL_9965: Drivers using the IO_CONTIGUOUS flag were not delivering optimal performance on Cache Coherent IO platforms. The CCIO mapping routine was making unnecessary calls to other low level subroutines.

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_10769 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_10769.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_10769.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_10769. 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_10769.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_10769.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
