Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.10 s800: 10.10 Products: N/A Filesets: PrinterMgmt.LP-SPOOL Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_15615 Symptoms: PHCO_15615: Buffer overflow in rwrite and rlpdaemon could memory fault. PHCO_11440: 1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file clears the whole queue. 2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing job. PHCO_10748: 1. LP-spool hang or qstatus corrupt when /var full log says:Bogus request 2. Parent lpsched hangs when lpalt is used to move a request. 3. Model scripts does not handle SIGTERM any more. 4. lpsched introduced 5 sec delay between prints at 10.20 PHCO_8487: 1. lpsched hangs under FIFO full condition 2. Printers go idle even when requests are present in the queue 3. Jobs not printed when remote host(IBM) immediately snaps connection. 4. If a BSD system spooler sends a '\001' to rlp(1) after the control file has been sent, rlp(1) simply ignores the '\001' and removes the entry. PHCO_7103: 1. When request comes from IBM, to a printer which is in turn configured as a remote printer to another system ( BSD or Non-BSD ) , the printer queue in question will be shut down( disabled ). 2. lp is not able to print from a directory that has no perms for the world 3. Permission denied from rcancel if NIS uppercase and hostname lowercase. 4. rcancel (1M) fails with "Permission denied" if hostname is fully qualified. 5. rlpdaemon and spooler subsytem not working with WINDOWS NT. 6. lp spooler hangs if printers with active requests are disbled. 7. lpsched(1M) deadlocks when its total "MORE" message length exceeds 8192 bytes. 8. Divpage was treating the character '0xff' as EOF. When it gets this character it stops processing the input file. 9. If disk space is not available on the remote server to receive a print job the remote server responds with a return code of 02. The rlp process continues to run for approximately 5 minutes before it dies. 10. When large number of files are sent to a remote spooler the first couple of files are printed at the expected speed but rest of the following files are printed very slowly. The problem is seen on any machine running 10.x and remote spooling to the any other HP machine running 10.01, 9.04 or 9.05.

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_15615 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_15615.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_15615.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_15615. 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_15615.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_15615.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
