Patch Name: PHNE_8639 Patch Description: s700_800 10.0X NetWare v3.12 B.10.05 full product patch Creation Date: 96/10/08 Post Date: 96/12/16 Repost: 97/01/15 The patch documentation was modified to correct several pieces of information, including the superseded patches and dependent patches. Only the patch documentation changed. The actual patch files were not modified so it is not necessary to reinstall the patch if it has already been installed.

Defect Description: PHNE_8639: 1.Multiple users run nwfsck at the same time. SR#4701284265 2.Only the change made by root user will be saved. SR#4701281568 3.This problem will only occur when the user tries to remove Netware from the system, add a product that requires a user id to be created in /etc/passwd. And then, try to re-install Netware. SR#5003302307 4.This is caused by an internal function referencing an invalid address. SR#5003319053 5.This problem will occur when the shell of the session terminates before (but at about the same time) as the NVT connection. In this case, the NVT daemon race to clean up session and the NVT daemon attempts to kill the already dead shell session. In this case, the NVT daemon aborts and fails to clean up the session information. SR#5000714204 6.A bad parameter has been passed into the function. SR#1653160150 7.Detail unknown, NVT.EXE is provided by Novell, it did not use the latest version when the problem occurred. SR#5003316687 8.The value in a field which is checked by fastpath code was not initialized right. SR#5003319020 9.An internal data structure of nwutil was not cleaned up when it should be. SR#5003309971 10.An corner case was not handled in the fastscan code. SR#4701326603 11.An index out of range problem. SR#5003328013 12.Constant for maximum number of printers were defined twice with inconsistant values. SR#1653176537 13.This panic was caused when the NetWare Fastpath shared memory was removed via ipcrm. SR#4701322438 14.The engine core was caused by a reference to an invalid address. SR#4701322016 15.lpstat was not optimized. SR#1653166702 16.The listening socket was being placed in the state: TS_WRES_CIND before the check on the availability of the upper queue, under heavy load, the check may fail and the message will be dropped. but the socket will have been placed in a state where it will reject subsequent connection requests. SR#4701335604 17.This problem will be seen if... - The router between the client and server is another HP9000 NetWare server. - The connection number in use by the client, or the next available connection number on the remote server, is the same as a connection number that is already in use by some other client on the HP9000 router/server. - The HP NetWare fastpath code is enabled (default is true) on the HP9000, which is acting as a router. SR#4701336172 18.This problem occurs when an NCP connection with a bad internal pointer is logged out. All cases found so far appear to have happened to a loopback connection used by the pserver. SR#5003318089 19.The algorithm we used to generate pty names will generate names to open of the format ptyXY, this gives only 416 possibilities, from pty00 thru ptyzf. Problem is if NPTY is set greater than this number in the kernel,pty names that we will never open are generated and if all pty names that we CAN open are already taken, nvtd will fail to open a pty, even though there are plenty available. SR#5003336982 PHNE_7866: 1. Incompatibility with Native NetWare stack. SR#4701330480 2. Incorrect comparison in a counter. SR#5000715979 3. Two or more duplicate SAP requests for the same server in the same packet were not correctly processed. SR#5003326595 4. Incompatibility with Native NetWare stack. SR#4701332288 PHNE_7174: 1. On an MP system a counter used by the ripx module was not protected correctly against interrupts. SR#1653165142 2. In certain cases the untimeout routine was not correctly called to remove entries for timeouts that were no longer required. SR#4701299479 3. Incompatibility between the TLI/XTI library and SPX. SR#4701319657 4. The sapd did not wait to retry the CheckSapSource operation. SR#4701319913 5. The file /opt/netware/include/sys/nwtdr.h is missing. SR#4701321158 PHNE_6232: 1. System hangs or panics in SPX 2. Data memory protection fault in SpxOrdRelReq() 3. Panic due to kernel callout table overflow PHNE_5574: 1. nwuxrm, nwuxcp cores when working with directories. 2. NetWare server appears to hang. 1 engine using 98% CPU. 3. Poor performance running NDIR. 4. Poor performance using nwprint. 5. NCOPY cannot handle a large number (>700) of files. 6.

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_8639 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_8639.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_8639.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_8639. 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_8639.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_8639.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: NetWare/9000 must be halted for this patch to install. This is a FULL product replacement. Original files are not backed up, or saved. NetWare/9000 must be halted for this patch to install.
