Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.SYS-ADMIN OS-Core.UX-CORE Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_14176 Symptoms: PHCO_14176: When a volume change is needed, frecover prompts the user and then reads from /dev/tty to receive the expected carriage return. If there is no terminal associated with the frecover process, frecover aborts because it cannot open /dev/tty. PHCO_13839: This patch for fbackup is part of the 10.20 ACE 2 bundle which adds networking enhancements to 10.20. New networking features supported in ACE 2 include NFS Version 3.0, AutoFS, and CacheFS. PHCO_9228: The fbackup command on HP-UX 10.20 may hang when log or group names exceed 8 characters in length in the /etc/passwd or /etc/group files. This patch corrects this problem. PHCO_9188: The fbackup command on HP-UX 10.20 cannot read old volume headers written by a pre-10.20 fbackup execution. The operator will see the following error: fbackup(3205): unable to read a volume header Note the operator will see this error as well if the tape is new or has been used by another backup utility such as cpio. Defect Description: PHCO_14176: When a volume change is needed, frecover prompts the user and then reads from /dev/tty to receive the expected carriage return. If there is no terminal associated with the frecover process, frecover aborts because it cannot open /dev/tty. This is especially a problem for those who use a chgvol script when using -c , where the operator may likely not leave open the window from which they started an frecover of a large number of volumes. PHCO_13839: New functionality to support networking features in 10.20.

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_14176 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_14176.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_14176.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_14176. 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_14176.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_14176.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
