Post Date:  98/02/19

Warning: 98/04/20 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP.
	- Patch PHCO_14228 breaks the Year 2000 compliance
	  for the sar(1) command that was introduced in
	  patch PHCO_8820.  If PHCO_14228 is installed and
	  the date is set to 2000 or later, the date information
	  provided in the output of sar(1) is incorrect.
	  The year 2000 will be displayed as '100' instead of '00',
	  2001 as '101' instead of '01', etc.
	- Patch PHCO_10576 will be re-released until a replacement
	  patch is available.
	- It is recommended that PHCO_14228 be removed from any
	  system prior to the year 2000 or prior to any year 2000
	  testing being performed.
	- For users that require the fix included in PHCO_14228
	  that is not in PHCO_10576, the fix to the output format
	  of the 'sar -f<file> -A' command, PHCO_14228 can continue
	  to be used.  However, it is recommended that PHCO_14228
	  be removed and the replacement patch installed as soon
	  as it is available.
	- Patch PHCO_14228 has not been included in any Extension
	  Software Patch Bundles as of this date.

	------------------------------------------------------------
	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 PHCO_14228

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_14228.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_14228.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_14228.  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_14228.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_14228.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
