Patch Name: PHSS_11136 Patch Description: s700_800 10.[12]0 HP VUE 3.0 BMS 5.X Cumulative Patch Creation Date: 97/06/24 Post Date: 97/07/04 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.10 10.20 s800: 10.10 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: X11BMS.BMS Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHSS_11136: OTHER Fix of severe VUE performance problem under certain circumstances Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_11136 Symptoms: PHSS_11136: BMS hangs. SPC hangs in select. PHSS_9514: When starting VUE, there may be long delays (up to one minute) for the BMS to become active and for VUE to respond after login. When 'logger' is used to log a message thru 'syslogd', child processes are forked and never die ... syslogd child processes may be stuck forever because SIGALRM is masked PHSS_7326: When 'logger' is used to log a message thru 'syslogd', child processes are forked and never die ... syslogd child processes may be stuck forever because SIGALRM is masked Defect Description: PHSS_11136: An unusual termination of SoftBench does not free a particular socket which then may be reassigned by the kernel for startup by the BMS. SPC will hang in select if the OS allows for more than 2048 file descriptors. PHSS_9514: BMS has a problem in the low level wusr code that causes a function to continually check the mount table for an invalid mount point. Some customers may experience no problems others will experience major time delays, depending on how the NIS/DNS naming service is configured. If unknown hostnames are rejected at the local level, no delay occurs. If unknown hostname resolution is promoted to machines with a wider scope in the network, delays will occur. The higher the promotion in hostname resolution results in longer delays. PHSS_7326: Contiuus requires that symlinks be ignored.

None Hardware Dependencies: None Other Dependencies: None Supersedes: PHSS_7326 PHSS_9514 Equivalent Patches: None Patch Package Size: 1540 KBytes Installation Instructions: Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms and conditions for precautions, scope of license, restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties, before installing this patch. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. 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 PHSS_11136 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_11136.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/PHSS_11136.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/PHSS_11136. 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 PHSS_11136.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/PHSS_11136.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: If the system is HP-UX 10.10 _AND_ has the patch PHSS_7326 installed, that patch MUST be removed prior to installation of PHSS_9514. If SoftBench is installed on the system, DO NOT install this patch. Rather, upgrade SoftBench to the latest release and apply any Periodic SoftBench patches for that release. Any SoftBench Patches that upgrade the SoftBench BMS will automatically upgrade the VUE BMS.
