Floating exception when screen is small. PHCO_10115: top has a long initialization time on systems with NIS. PHCO_7201: top displays negative cpu usage if more than 300 processes on system. Defect Description: PHCO_14304: top(1) displays wrong usernames after last patch. This is due to the collisions while hashing. top(1) does not display pseudo terminals under /dev/pts directory. Floating exception when screen is small. This occurs when the number of processes which can be displayed on the screen becomes zero. PHCO_10115: The problem occurred due to a linear search of the passwd file using getpwent(3C). A section of top was recoded to use getpwuid(3C) which has better performance under NIS. PHCO_7201: top displays invalid information if system has more than 300 tasks. On a heavily loaded system, top will display negative values for cpu usage.

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_14304 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_14304.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_14304.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_14304. 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_14304.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_14304.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
