Patch Name: PHNE_12948 Patch Description: s700 10.16 EISA 100VG-AnyLAN B.10.00.02 cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/10/20 Post Date: 97/12/16 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.16 Products: J2655AA_APS 100VG AnyLAN/9000 EISA B.10.00.02 Filesets: 100VG-EISA-KRN.100VG-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHNE_12948 Symptoms: PHNE_12948: Repackage the 10.01 patch PHNE_10073 for HP-UX 10.16 PHNE_9882: 100vg Anylan panics when card is disconnected (PHNE_10073) The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in the defect descriptions fields for PHNE_10073: 1. system panic when ENOBUF 2. in 10bt mode, if cable disconnection followed by a DMA timeout, IFF_UP flag never gets back to "UP" (always "DONW") when the cable is reconnected. 3. in 10bt mode, the cable disconnection for the cards whose date-code is "3396" is not recoverable when the cable is reconnected. driver returns EIO and need to reboot the system to bring the driver back up again. (PHNE_9610) The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in the defect descriptions fields for PHNE_9610: 1. system panic by disconnecting cable 2. short transmit queue hurts performance (PHNE_6938) The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in the defect descriptions fields for PHNE_6938: 1. system panic 2. "ifconfig lan# down" does not work appropriately 3. 10 BT link doesnot detect cable reconnection 4. when cable is severed, "Hardware State" shown by lanscan is set to DOWN 5. null mac address training is supported. 6. system deadlock/hang 7. system hang 8. the current block of HP MAC addresses, which start with 0x08009, is starting to run out. Defect Description: PHNE_12948: Repackage the 10.01 patch PHNE_10073 for HP-UX 10.16 PHNE_9882: 100vg Anylan panics when card is disconnected. (PHNE_10073) The following defect descriptions are for PHNE_10073: 1. when ENOBUF retuns during transmission, we unmapped the bufs which have not been mapped. 2. when we get DMA timeout, we didnot return and we screwed up the vgal0_if_prior_state. 3. the checking of old MAC address (0x080009)is still in 10bt reset(). the card with date-code "3396" have a new MAC address of "0x0060b0". The driver comes up after reboot because we initialize the driver with 100vg reset(). (PHNE_9610) The following defect descriptions are for PHNE_9610: 1. system panic caused by miss-checking NULL pdl_head in label freepdls: (vgal0_ac_output) prior to deferencing it. Cable disconnection (ENOLINK) or ENOBUF could make the problem happen. 2. driver allocated only 31 packets on transmit queue and it dropped packets when you send more than 31 packets at a time. The UDP-stream test of netperf could make the problem happen. For example, "netperf -t UDP_STREAM -H -b 32 -w 1000 -l 10 -- -m 1472" (PHNE_6938) The following defect descriptions are for PHNE_6938: 1. system panic caused by callout table overflow due to a temporary shortage of system memory under heavy network traffic 2. "ifconfig lan# down" is fixed 3. reset the card for 10 BT to reconnect 4. the fix makes the 100VG-AnyLAN/9000 link behavior consistent with other LAN/9000 links 5. the fix is to conform to the revised hub protocol in the IEEE 802.12 standard 6. a hardware defect. the fix includes a software workaround 7. severe memory pressure 8. the prefix of HP MAC address is checked against 0x08, if wrong, return error SR: 5003357194 1653180836 Patch Files: /usr/conf/lib/lib100vg.a what(1) Output: /usr/conf/lib/lib100vg.a: kern/sio/vgal0.c, hpux, hpux_mlpmp, 10.16-26 $Date: 97/10/21 10:12:25 $ $Revision: 1.2 PATCH_10. 16 (PHNE_12948) vgal0.h $Revision: 1.13 $ $Date: 96/10/28 13:40:06 $ vgal0.c $Revision: 1.65 $ $Date: 97/02/10 16:12:06 $ FILESET 100VG: lib 100vg: Version: A.10.10 PHNE_6940 cksum(1) Output: 1533661367 41544 /usr/conf/lib/lib100vg.a Patch Conflicts: None Patch Dependencies: None Hardware Dependencies: None Other Dependencies: None Supersedes: PHNE_9882 Equivalent Patches: PHNE_12949: s800: 10.16 Patch Package Size: 100 KBytes 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 PHNE_12948 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_12948.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_12948.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_12948. 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_12948.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_12948.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: Customer should check the output in the swagent.log or swinstall.log file to verify the installation of the files.
