Patch Name: PHKL_17837 Patch Description: s700 10.20 New audio h/w support + cumulative (ACE199906) Creation Date: 99/04/08 Post Date: 99/05/24 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN ProgSupport.C-INC Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: No (superseded patches were critical) PHKL_11578: PANIC PHKL_9580: PANIC Currently all audio applications shipped by HP use Aserver, which will not exhibit the problem. The problem is only possible when running non HP audio applications. Of course any user can load such an application. Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_17837 Symptoms: PHKL_17837: This patch enables new functionality that is part of the 10.20 ACE (Additional Core Enhancements) Workstation bundle, which adds new I/O drivers to support the B1000, C3000 and J5000 systems. PHKL_11578: The system will panic with an "Audio hardware clock dead" message. This will most likely only be seen on the newer (180 Mhz and up PA8000) processors. This panic will usually occur just after a beep. PHKL_9580: A direct audio application (an application that does not use the Audio server, e.g. a common freeware unix application called rplay) can panic the system. Defect Description: PHKL_17837: New functionality to support the B1000, C3000 and J5000 systems on HP-UX 10.20. Resolution: New support added for new audio hardware on the above mentioned systems. PHKL_11578: A hardware design change opened up a timing dependency in the audio driver that was not exposed until the newer PA8000 processors were made available. The problem occurs when switching sampling rates. The problem usually occurs after a "beep" since the driver changes sampling rates to do the beep, and then switches back. PHKL_9580: One way of reproducing the problem is to run a common freeware unix application called rplay. Any application that calls the AUDIO_GET_STATUS ioctl of the audio driver before allocating a transmit buffer will cause the system to panic. This problem will not occur on a 705,710 or 74x series machine. Any machine with CD quality audio hardware will exhibit the problem.

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_17837 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_17837.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_17837.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_17837. 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_17837.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_17837.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
