Patch Name: PHCO_24375 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 vxrestore(1M) cumulative patch Creation Date: 01/06/07 Post Date: 01/06/13 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: JournalFS.VXFS-BASE-RUN Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_24375 Symptoms: PHCO_24375: 1) FIFO special files are not restored. 2) Symbolic links are restored with incorrect ownership and permissions. PHCO_16243: The "-s number" option of the vxrestore does not recover the specified dump on a tape containing multiple dumps. Defect Description: PHCO_24375: 1) vxrestore has no FIFO case in the switch() statement, as a result, FIFO special files are not restored. 2) When restoring symbolic links, vxrestore changes the ownership and the permissions of the symbolic link to that of the user running vxrestore. Resolution: 1) Add the IFIFO case to the switch() statement. 2) Save the ownership and umask of the symbolic link before restoring it and restore the ownership and permissions after the link is restored. PHCO_16243: The "-s number" option of the vxrestore does not recover the specified dump on a tape containing multiple dumps. Vxrestore was always retrieving the dump at which the tape was currently positioned at.
