Patch Name: PHNE_15349 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 ACC 2.23 Base Software (EISA) Y2K Patch Creation Date: 98/05/25 Post Date: 98/06/10 Warning: 98/06/12 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP. -PHNE_15349 should only install on ACC Rel 2.23. The checkinstall script has to verify the proper ACC version is installed on the target system. However the checkinstall script fails to do so. An error similar to: "sh: Rel: not found." will be logged in the /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log file. -As a result this patch will install on any version of ACC. -ACC Rel 2.23 systems will be correctly updated. -PHNE_15349 should be removed from any none ACC Rel 2.23 system and the replacement patch PHNE_15602 be installed. -PHNE_15602 should be available shortly. -PHNE_15349 should be removed from any depot holding it and PHNE_15602 loaded instead. Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: Z7401A 2.23; Z7402A 2.23 Filesets: ACC.ACC-KRN ACC.ACC-RUN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded With Warnings Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_15349 Symptoms: PHNE_15349: DTS TPO0h01966 No current method to determine hardware revision DTS TPO0h02007 zmntr displays port information about cards flagged as absent SR 4701391920 / DTS TPO0h01285 ZCOM subsystem startup failure with random symptoms DTS TPO0h02076 Year 2000 - ROM timestamp will show 1900 after 2000 DTS TPO0h02097 Year 2000 - zterm timestamp incorrect after 1999 Defect Description: PHNE_15349: DTS TPO0h01966 Enhancement to detect hardware revisions of ACC cards. A standard interface has been defined to identify hardware revisions of all ACC cards. The 'mx' command of zmntr has been enhanced to include the display of the hardware revision. DTS TPO0h02007 zmntr has been modified to not display port details of absent cards SR 4701391920 / DTS TPO0h01285 The ACC drivers (like most HP-UX drivers) use dynamic major numbers. When the ACC software is installed, its device files are created with the correct major numbers. However, if other products are removed and/or installed, HP-UX can sometimes change the ACC's major numbers without its knowledge. The results in the ACC device files now pointing ot non-existent or the wrong drivers. The ACC utilities are then no longer able to access the ACC kernel components in the expected way. Since the utilities (e.g. zmasterd) are issuing request to non-ACC components, the symptoms will vary depending on whose kernel drivers the device file major numbers point to. The ACC major numbers can only change when the system is rebooted. New scripts have been written which are now scheduled at every system bootup that scans all of the ACC device files and recreates them with the correct major numbers as needed. DTS TPO0h02076 When zmon initializes an ACC card, it uploads the ROM ID information from the card. One of the fields is the ROM timestamp in YYMMDD.hhmm ASCII format. zmon extracts the digits and calls mktime() to convert the timestamp to UNIX Epoch time (saved in IFT). The two-digit year value is passed to mktime(), which expects a year value since 1900. In Year 2000, a ROM timestamp with year "00" will be shown as 1900. DTS TPO0h02097 When zterm is employed, timestamp as well as activity will be reported. The call numerictime, currently returns a timestamp in the form YYMMDD.HHMMSS. In Year 2000, the timestamp is returned in the form YYYMMDD.HHMMSS. The code, has been modified to accomodate for both scenarios.

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 PHNE_15349 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_15349.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/PHNE_15349.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/PHNE_15349. 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 PHNE_15349.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/PHNE_15349.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: SUBSYSTEM_SHUT Before installing this patch, use the following command to shutdown the ACC subsystem and kill the ACC daemons. /opt/acc/bin/zmasterd kill The above command kills any of the ACC daemons that are still running, including zmasterd, zx25d, watch, zmlog, zmon, and znode. The kernel will be regenerated and the system will reboot automatically during the patch installation.
