Patch Name: PHNE_15937 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 R6.10.20 SNAplus2 Link cumulative patch Creation Date: 98/10/08 Post Date: 99/01/13 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: SNAplus2-Link R6.10.20 Filesets: SNAplus2-Link.SNAP2-LINK Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_15937 Symptoms: PHNE_15937: (1) 5003398354 If you issue 'snapadmin define_local_lu' for an LU which is already defined, only the attach routing data and the description field are updated - all other parameters are ignored - however, the snapadmin command does not indicate this but gives a successful return message. (2) 4701396374 Node fails to start if TN Client configured with unrecognised hostname. (3) 4701395459 The following assert message is logged to the console, syslog file and sna log files. Assert ips->cont_size >= MU_CONT_SIZE from vtc.c (4) 4701392670 When in client /server configuration, various ASSERT messages recorded in the sna.err log file from the SLIM component, followed often by a crash of the SLIM. This causes general unpredictable behaviour of the system when the master server goes down and is restarted. (5) 1653261669 SDLC link shows DISABLED after restart of SNAPLUS2 daemon PHNE_14392: (1) 4701386227 Unable to start SDLC Eisa cards Defect Description: PHNE_15937: (1) 5003398354 Code changed to ensure that if the user specifies any other parameters, they match those used on the initial define. Produce an error code otherwise. (2) 4701396374 Code changed to allow the node to start if it finds a TN Client configured with unrecognised hostname, but generates an error log which tells the user of the failure. (3) 4701395459 This was an incorrect ASSERT which has been removed. It is a benign problem, but produces annoying error logs and console messages. (4) 4701392670 The LAN logger component (which handles central logging) incorrectly registered itself with the service manager as a server. This means that a server could end up twice in the service table (for example, once as a backup, then again as a master server). This lead to extremely unpredictable and unreliable client/server operation. Code change made to prevent this incorrect registering. (5) 1653261669 Send a signal to the host when firmware is ready (backplane and frontplane are initialized) Remove debug trace from msgbuf (opt1:) PHNE_14392: (1) 4701386227 Fixed problems in SDLC driver and firmware.

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_15937 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_15937.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_15937.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_15937. 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_15937.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_15937.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: Stop SNA daemon before installing patch (snap stop). After installing the patch start the SNA daemon (snap start).
