Patch Name: PHKL_17499 Patch Description: s700 10.20 Fix data corruption,diaglogd prob,drv log issue Creation Date: 99/01/28 Post Date: 99/02/12 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHKL_17499: CORRUPTION PHKL_12343: PANIC Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_17499 Symptoms: PHKL_17499: (SR:4701414664 CHART:JAGaa57288) STM memory logging, Expert & Information tool will not receive requested PDC data for HP C3000 and HP B1000 systems. PHKL_13872: (SR:4701365676 DTS:INDaa28099) Diag2 panics the system with a Data Page Fault when multiple drivers log information at the same time. (SR:4701379917 DTS:INDaa29632) diag2 is not returning control to the caller of a read (diaglogd) when a kill -9 is performed to abort the caller. PHKL_12343: diag2 panics the system with a Data Page Fault when multiple I/O drivers log information at the same time. Defect Description: PHKL_17499: Diag2 driver corrupts data when it uses an architected PDC call with non-architected options. Resolution: Diag2 driver will now call a kernel routine to get equivalently mapped page aligned memory. PHKL_13872: (SR:4701365676 DTS:INDaa28099)diag2 assumed that all requests to diag_log would be process in sequence. This is not the case. This problem has only been seen on systems when multiple I/O drivers call diag_log at the same time. (SR:4701379917 DTS:INDaa29632)diag2 is detecting the interrupt from an error from sleep(), but is ignoring it and retrying the read. It should stop and return EINTR to the caller. PHKL_12343: diag2 assumed that all requests to diag_log would be process in sequence. This is not the case. This problem has only been seen on systems when multiple I/O drivers call diag_log at the same time. .

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_17499 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_17499.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_17499.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_17499. 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_17499.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_17499.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
