Patch Name: PHNE_9258 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 R5.1 SNAplus2-Common cumulative patch Creation Date: 97/02/07 Post Date: 97/06/24 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: SNAplus2-Common R5.1 Filesets: SNAplus2-Common.SNAP2-CORE SNAplus2-Common.SNAP2-ADMIN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHNE_9258: ABORT Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_9258 Symptoms: PHNE_9258: (1) 5003352963 Service TP names are incorrectly specified in CPI-C Side info. If you have a TP such as 21F0F0F8 (one of the NVDM/6000 TPs), you actually have to configure it as 21303038, because the first charcter gets passed through unchanged, but all subsequent characters get converted from ASCII to EBCDIC. (2) 1653189522 The problem is that online help is not available in xsnapadmin. (3) 5003349969 Symptoms of problem: When migrating a V4 config file containing non queued TPs, snapmigrate produces entries in the TPs file with TIMEOUT values. This results in error logs when the system is started - non queued TPs don't have timeouts. (4) 4701345199 Symptoms of problem: Issue snaptrcfmt -W and you get a core dump. (5) 4701325506 Symptoms of problem: If you migrate a config file from R3 to R5.x, the paths for RJE devices are not updated from '/usr/lib/sna' to '/var/opt/sna'. (6) 1653196386 Symptoms of problem: End user application can register a signal catcher, and then find that it is deregistered by SNA. (7) 5003331611 Symptoms of problem: Release 3 of SNAplus supported no pacing, which was configured by setting the pacing on an APPC mode to 0. Release 4 and Release 5 do not support this. (8) 5003344358 Symptoms of problem: If sna_tps file has more than 21 TPs then daemon appears not to start. In fact it starts and core dumps within a few seconds. Memory corruption occurs when 17 TPs are configured. (9) 5003333922 When installing SNAplus2 and trying to run the SNAplus2 Installation portion in SAM, SAM died with a core dump. This prevented installation of SNAplus2. The following error was reported: 'Unexpected exit: process /usr/sam/lbin/samx -C -p 3181 /opt/sna/sam/C/mainmenu.ui exited with a non-zero exit status. sh: 3326 (memory fault coredump)' (10) 4701337444 It is difficult to get an overview of the node configuration using snapadmin. (11) 4701325696 After the installation of patch PHCO_6349 on 800 systems, the addition or deletion of PSI cards would not stay updated after exiting and reentering the 'SAM SNAplus2 Installation' area (during a single SAM invocation). (12) 4701326249 SAM SNAplus configuration failed when trying to configure a machine as a client. (13) 4701325514 RJE users migrating from SNAplus to SNAplus2 will run into a problem after running snapmigrate to generate the SNAplus2 configurations and RJE style files. The '.sty' files will not be there as stated in the migration guide. Defect Description: PHNE_9258: (1) 5003352963 Fix made to GUI admin and CPI-C library to take service TP names in the ASCII format 21F0F1F2 to represent the HEX format eg ASCII 21F0F1F2 will represent HEX 0x21F0F1F2. (2) 1653189522 The problem is caused by the non-existence of two soft links; /etc/vhelp/volumes/C/Help4SNAadmin.hv and /etc/vhelp/families/C/snaplus.hf are missing. (3) 5003349969 Details of fix applied: only generate the timeout line for queued TPs. (4) 4701345199 The code was writing to the dump file, even although it had not opened it. (5) 4701325506 Details of fix applied: Code changed to perform the extra migration step. (6) 1653196386 Details of fix applied: Remove the use of signals altogether in this library. (7) 5003331611 Snapmigrate did not take of the possible R3 value of 0 for pacing in the MODE. (8) 5003344358 Details of fix applied: Correct the code that grows the data structure as more TPs are configured (the memory is allocated for 16 TPs at a time). (9) 5003333922 The cause of the problem was that SAM/SNA could only support a maximum of 50 IO cards. (10) 4701337444 Snapadmin does not have a command which allows the user to get an overview of the node configuration. The user is required to use several query commands to get information about nodes, ports, link stations, etc. (11) 4701325696 With at least one PSI card already in the kernel, if the user adds at least one more PSI card and then exits the 'SAM SNAplus2 Installation', deferring kernel changes, that PSI card will not display correctly upon reentering the SNAplus2 Installation screen. (12) 4701326249 The reason for the failure in this case is that SAM thought the machine should be a server if the SNAplus2-Link product was installed. (13) 4701325514 The reason the .sty file won't exist is because snapmigrate incorrectly put the on the system as .RJE files. The user can simply copy the files to the correct name, or install the latest SNAplus2-Common patch which fixes snapmigrate.

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_9258 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_9258.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_9258.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_9258. 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_9258.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_9258.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).
