Patch Name: PHNE_16153 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 EISA 100BASE-T cumulative patch Creation Date: 98/08/17 Post Date: 98/09/01 Warning: 98/09/17 - This Critical Warning has been issued by HP. - After installing this patch the system performance will be severely degraded by EISA 100BT network activity. - It is recommended that the patch be removed from any system using EISA 100BT and depots having it installed. - The previous patch, PHNE_1372,1 will be re-released un-till a replacement patch is available. Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: EISA100BT B.10.20.01 B.10.20.02 Filesets: 100BT-EISA-KRN.100BT-KRN,B.10.20.01,B.10.20.02 100BT-EISA-RUN.100BT-INIT,B.10.20.01,B.10.20.02 Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded With Warnings Critical: Yes PHNE_16153: PANIC PHNE_13721: OTHER Multicast & Promiscuous mode not working PHNE_11507: OTHER MAC Address change results in card not working PHNE_10145: OTHER ServiceGuard fails over EISA 100bt Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_16153 Symptoms: PHNE_16153: 1. EISA 100BASE-T card does not come up on 715/100/E workstations. 2. When there is heavy network traffic, EISA 100BASE-T card does not come up at boot time. 3. EISA 100BASE-T panics on D and C class with Data Page fault under heavy load. PHNE_13721: 1. SAP promiscuous mode and layer2 multicast are not supported. 2. SNAP LLC encapsulation is not supported. 3. When a request for factory MAC address is issued, the EISA 100BT driver returns the current MAC address instead. 4. Initialization scripts to alter the MAC address or the duplex mode do not function correctly. PHNE_11507: The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in the defect descriptions fields for PHNE_11507: Changing the MAC address on EISA 100BT card prevents further correct operation of the card. PHNE_10145: The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in the defect descriptions fields for PHNE_10145: Failover does not work correctly in ServiceGuard. Defect Description: PHNE_16153: 1. The driver did not set the speed correctly in 10Mb mode. This occurred mainly on 715/100/E systems. 2. The driver sent a loopback packet without sensing the media speed. The default speed was set to 100Mb. So, under heavy network traffic the driver failed to receive the loopback packet in 10Mb mode. 3. The driver did not do proper MP synchronization. PHNE_13721: 1. Specific code for support of Promiscuous mode and layer2 multicast did not exist. 2. Specific code for support of SNAP LLC encapsulation did not exist. 3. The driver incorrectly returned the current MAC address when the factory MAC address was requested. 4. Variable names were inconsistent in hpeisabtconf and hpeisabt scripts. PHNE_11507: The following defect description is for PHNE_11507: Although the command for MAC address change completed successfully, the change was registered only in the software data-structures and not in the card (hardware). PHNE_10145: The following defect description is for PHN_10145: When the primary cable is disconnected, the secondary does not reflect UP state in lanscan to indicate the successful Failover of ServiceGuard.

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_16153 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_16153.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_16153.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_16153. 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_16153.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_16153.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
