Id = NSMex01041 Backup to MO device on HP-UX 9.x failed with "Can not switch to exclusive access." 2. Id = NSMbb17300 Backup and rescan of an autoloader connected to HP-UX 9.x failed with: "[MINOR] REQUEST SENSE call failed. Invalid Argument." 3. Id = NSMex01052 OmniBack II did not handle eject of media from STK - SILO properly. 4. Id = NSMex01172 OmniBack II did not report correct barcodes during rescan of scsi II libraries. 5. Id = NSMex01215 At the end of a copy session, the error "Can not open device (No such device or address)" was displayed if an exchanger device was used. 6. Id = NSMex01246 Handling of busy drives failed if the exchanger robotic was connected to a different host 7. Id = NSMex01284 Backup could overwrite part of the data during append. PHSS_14337: 8. Id = NSMex01087 The Media Agent failed during backup of the database integration. Defect Description: PHSS_14970: 1. Id = NSMex01041 Backup to MO device on HP-UX 9.x failed with "Can not switch to exclusive access." Part of SSP255_10. 2. Id = NSMbb17300 Backup and rescan of autoloader connected to HP-UX 9.x failed with: "[MINOR] REQUEST SENSE call failed. Invalid Argument." Part of SSP255_10. 3. Id = NSMex01052 OmniBack II did not handle eject of media from STK-SILO properly if there was one of the selected tapes located in a drive. In such a situation the information about tapes was not properly updated in the OmniBack II DB. Part of SSP255_26. 4. Id = NSMex01172 OmniBack II did not report correct barcodes during rescan of scsi II libraries. Rescan failed. Part of SSP255_30. 5. Id = NSMex01215 Handling for media close was not OK if copy failed for some reason (in particular case because the destination tape was shorter than original). Part of SSP255_39. 6. Id = NSMex01246 Busy drive handling (eject feature) did not work if robotic was on the remote host. Part of SSP255_40. 7. Id = NSMex01284 To append to a medium, omniback uses the seek function which is supposed to fail at the End Of Data. This function could fail for other reasons, causing the write operation to start from a wrong position on the tape and overwriting valid data. An addtitional check was added to prevent this. Part of SSP255_46. PHSS_14337: 8. Id = NSMex01087 OmniBack II did not handle the end of the database integration backups properly, if at the same time the tape was at the end. As result of it the bma failed with different errors. Part of SSP255_19.

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_14970 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_14970.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_14970.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_14970. 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_14970.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_14970.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: NOTE! Patch has to be installed on the Cell Server host. * The Media Agent package needs to be redistributed to the appropriate systems, where the Media Agent Clients are installed, from within the "Cell Administration - Install" window of the OmnibackII graphical user interface before the patch modifications take effect. NOTE! Make sure that no backup or restore or media management session is running while you distribute the package to the MA clients. In order to resolve Defect Number 3. (NSMex01052), also the OMNIBACK II A.02.55 CS packet patch has to be installed. This is currently PHSS_14853, but may be superseded by a newer version in the future. From PHSS_14970 patch OmniBack II officially supports ACS Library System Integration on HP-UX 11.x. Patch includes the following Site Specific Patches: - SSP255_10 - SSP255_19 - SSP255_26 - SSP255_30 - SSP255_39 - SSP255_40 - SSP255_45 - SSP255_46
