Patch Name: PHCO_11223 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 fsck_vxfs(1M) cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/05/30 Post Date: 97/06/05 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: JournalFS.VXFS-BASE-RUN Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_11223 Symptoms: PHCO_11223: VxFs fsck sometimes fails with -y with the message "no valid ILISTS for fileset 999". PHCO_10965: After a hard failure, running a full fsck on a vxfs file system that contains directories larger than approximately 200 Kbytes may result in an unrecoverable file system. The exact size is fuzzy, depending on a number of factors including the geometry of other files in the file system. The problem can also occur for large sparse files. A sparse file with more than 256 Gbytes of data blocks, written using small writes might experience the same problem. PHCO_9396: If a customer upgrades from 10.01 or 10.10 to 10.20, and tries to increase their VxFS file systems via SAM, the file system will not mount after completion of extending the volume and file system. The typical approach for SAM is: 1) unmount the file system 2) lvextend the volume 3) extendfs the file system 4) mount the file system The mount will always fail in this case.

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 PHCO_11223 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_11223.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/PHCO_11223.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/PHCO_11223. 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 PHCO_11223.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/PHCO_11223.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
