Patch Name: PHNE_11125 Patch Description: s700 10.20 LAN products cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/06/10 Post Date: 97/07/12 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: Networking.LAN-KRN Networking.LAN-RUN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHNE_11125: PANIC Fixes a panic in NIO ethernet, when operating in promiscuous mode. PHNE_11051: OTHER Required for T600, and supersedes other critical patch. PHNE_10511: OTHER Avoids, excessive reset of lan interface rendering system unusable on the network Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHNE_11125 Symptoms: PHNE_11125: 1. Changing MTU to more than 4096 bytes on token ring fails. 2. NIO ethernet operating in promiscuous mode panics. PHNE_11051: 1. Without this patch, NIO ethernet will not work on T600. PHNE_10511: 1. Systems using builtin lan through External MAU see excessive resets. Applications trying to transmit a packet could see ENOLINK. 2. 'mrouted' tunnelling fails on HP-PB 10BaseT driver. 3. Some LAN interfaces need reset, when the H/W address is changed.(Eg. HP-PB FDDI) 4. Some LAN interfaces require other operation to be performed with reset to bring back the interface UP. (Eg. HP-PB FDDI requires download operation during reset) PHNE_9277: Running netperf snap_script, the ipintr queue was filled and stayed filled. Ping then start to fail. The linkloop still ran fine over the link. However, the system did not seem to recover from the queue full condition. Defect Description: PHNE_11125: 1. DLPI uses hard coded value of 4096 bytes in the code, thereby limiting the maximum value of MTU to 4096. 2. The NIO ethernet was trying to acquire a lock already held by it when operating in promiscuous mode, resulting in a panic. PHNE_11051: 1. 64-byte alignment changes to NIO ethernet for T600 cache-line on 10.20 TFC. PHNE_10511: 1. When built-in lan interface returns No carrier + Late collision status in response to a transmit packet request, builtin lan driver treats the situation as carrier loss and resets the interface. The fix treats the situation as late collision, instead. 2. HP-PB ethernet driver should be modified to support IP Mutlticasting. It is supported only on 10.10 release. It should support IPM on 10.20 release too. Without the IPM support, certain software (eg:gated, mrouted) functionality is limited. 3. Lanadmin calls the device specific reset function, if any, to do the reset operation after changing the H/W address. 4. Lanadmin calls the device specific reset function, if one is found, otherwise does the reset by itself. PHNE_9277: There was a window to enable netisr when ip input queue was filled. This work around to solve the reported problem by enabling netisr whenever receiving an incoming message.

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 PHNE_11125 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_11125.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/PHNE_11125.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/PHNE_11125. 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 PHNE_11125.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/PHNE_11125.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
