Patch Name: PHNE_15759 Patch Description: s700 10.20 CORE PCI 100Base-T cumulative patch Creation Date: 98/07/08 Post Date: 98/07/16 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: Networking2.CORE100-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHNE_15759 Symptoms: PHNE_15759: If AUI port of Core PCI 100Base-T is used, the interface hardware state is occasionally down after system reboot or lanadmin(1M) reset. PHNE_14270: CORE 100BT hangs when very long packets are received on the interface. Without the promiscuous multicast enabled on the card, IP Multicast traffic to the individual IP multicast addresses is not received. Also, the internal loopback of the multicast packets where the packet length is less than 60 bytes, and data in the packet is distributed over multiple buffers. PHNE_13675: CORE 100BT can hang on MP workstations under high stress. PHNE_12953: Applications attempting to set IP multicast address on the Core PCI 100Base-T network interface will receive error. Applications attempting to enable promiscuous traffic mode on the Core PCI 100Base-T network interface will receive error. Defect Description: PHNE_15759: When network interface is reset at system reboot or manual reset using lanadmin(1M), the driver sends an external loopback packet out on the AUI port. Driver decides that the AUI port is connected to the cable on reception of the loopback packet. Transmission of the external loopback packet can fail occasionally due to collisions or deferred transmissions during heavy network traffic. Driver was not handling transmission errors of external loopback packets correctly. In such a case, driver will eventually timeout waiting for the reception of loopback packet and sets the hardware state to DOWN. PHNE_14270: When a very long packet is received on the CORE 100BT interface, it causes the receive watchdog timer to timeout, resulting in shutdown of the receiver and transmitter, and raising corresponding interrupt to the driver. The driver simply puts out the warning message on the console, but fails to restart the receiver and transmitter. The driver fails to add the individual IP multicast addresses (filters) correctly on the card. Also, for the loopback problem, the driver does not correctly pad to 60 bytes for packets smaller than 60 bytes long. PHNE_13675: Under certain conditions some subtle errors the receive path of the driver can be exposed causing link failure such as hung link etc. PHNE_12953: CORE PCI 100Base-T does not support IP Multicasting and the promiscuous - physical, multicast, SAP - traffic.

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_15759 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_15759.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_15759.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_15759. 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_15759.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_15759.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
