Patch Name: PHCO_8449 Patch Description: s700_800 10.16 WWW/Vitual-Vault performance patch (Part I) Creation Date: 96/08/14 Post Date: 96/09/11 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.16 s800: 10.16 Products: N/A Filesets: BLS.BLS-CORE BLS.MAXSIX Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_8449 Symptoms: PHCO_8449: PHCO_8449 is repalcing PHCO_7524 because of duplicated patch ID with PHNE_7524. PHCO_8449 is the command part of the fix for performance fix. It requires the kernel patch PHNE_8071 for S700 or PHNE_8070 for S800 to be installed immediately after PHCO_8449 is installed. The description is for both PHCO_8449 AND PHNE_8071/PHNE_8070: * When running WWW or Virtual Vault (VV) on CMW, it can generate network traffic such that within a short period of time, most network connect requests will either be reset or denied due to lack of kernel memory resulting in a total lack of service. Eventually, the problem will correct itself as network connect requests decrease, other system activity will replenish the kernel memory area, although not completely. * The problem occurs on the system that is accepting connections and may manifest itself in many forms. The problem is caused by the kernel memory allocator not being able to satisfy memory requests from interrupt contexts. Defect Description: PHCO_8449: The description is for both PHCO_8449 AND PHNE_8071/PHNE_8070: * The performance fix include kernel header files, kernel source code and command kmstat(1M) and m6d(1M). The patch PHCO_8449 include only the command part. Kernel fix is in PHNE_8071/PHNE_8070. * The fix modified the memory allocator algorithm, incorporated WWW performance related fixes in PHNE_7324 (HP-UX 10.01). Additional changes were also made in MaxSix networking area.

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_8449 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_8449.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_8449.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_8449. 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_8449.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_8449.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: Must install PHNE_8071 for S700 or PHNE_8070 for S800 immediately after install this patch(PHCO_8449). WARNING: The commands patch, PHCO_8449 and the corresponding kernel patches, PHNE_8070/PHNE_8071 are dependent upon one another. The system *will not work* with just one of the two patches installed - both kernel and command patches must be installed or the RESULTING SYSTEM WILL BE UNUSABLE. The PHCO_7524 remains in the what string of m6d and kmstat even though it is repalce by PHCO_8449.
