Symptoms:
	PHSS_15793:
	Id = NSMex01357
	    If Media Agent failed then OmniBack II sent 2 down
	    commands to GRAU device.

	Id = NSMbb18594
	    Problems with enter/eject operations.

	Id = NSMex01438
	    Backup to ACS-LS Media Agent failed with:
	    STATUS_LOCKID_NOT_FOUND.

	Id = NSMex01463
	    Backup could overwrite part of the data during append.

	PHSS_15466:
	Id = NSMex01379
	   Backup Media Agent for direct access devices corrupted
	    the data on the MO medium.

	Id = NSMex01411
	    Backup to the Media Agent running on AIX or
	    Sinix Operating system failed with
	    "Unknown internal error.

	PHSS_14970:
	Id = NSMex01041
	    Backup to MO device on HP-UX 9.x failed with
	    "Can not switch to exclusive access."

	Id = NSMbb17300
	    Backup and rescan of an autoloader connected to
	    HP-UX 9.x failed with:
	    "[MINOR] REQUEST SENSE call failed. Invalid Argument."

	Id = NSMex01052
	    OmniBack II did not handle eject of media from
	    STK - SILO properly.

	Id = NSMex01172
	    OmniBack II did not report correct barcodes during
	    rescan of scsi II libraries.

	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.

	Id = NSMex01246
	    Handling of busy drives failed if the exchanger robotic
	    was connected to a different host

	Id = NSMex01284
	    Backup could overwrite part of the data during append.

	PHSS_14337:
	Id = NSMex01087
	    The Media Agent failed during backup of the
	    database integration.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_15793:
	Id = NSMex01357
	    In the case that media agent failed for some reason,
	    two "DOWN" commands were sent to GRAU.
	    Part of  SSP255_57.

	Id = NSMbb18594
	    When entering multiple media into a library with
	    only one mailslot, then if a medium was put into
	    the mailslot immediately after the previous one
	    had been taken out, the operation could fail
	    and the medium was not entered into the slot.
	    Part of SSP255_62 and SSP255_73.

	Id = NSMex01438
	    If the ACS-LS Media Agent  was aborted two unlock
	    commands were sent. Because of that error was shown:
	     "StorageTek ACS error in "acs_unlock":
	       STATUS_LOCKID_NOT_FOUND."
	    Part of SSP255_66.

	Id = NSMex01463
	    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 additional check
	    was added to prevent this. If the seek failed then
	    the tape, that was used during seek is marked as poor.
	    Such tape has to be verified.
	    Part of SSP255_68.

	PHSS_15466:
	Id = NSMex01379
	    If the direct access medium (optical disks, disks,
	    files) contained a great number of small backups
	    (maximum 475), there was a possibility of corruption
	    of the data. Number of the segments on the medium
	    is now restricted to 950.
	    Part of SSP255_54.

	Id = NSMex01411
	    If the offical patch (PHSS_14970) was installed
	    and during backup the backed up data were
	    appended to the tape then the backup failed
	    with "Unknown internal error". The problem happened
	    only if Media Agent was running on Sinix or on AIX.
	    Part of SSP255_56

	PHSS_14970:
	Id = NSMex01041
	    Backup to MO device on HP-UX 9.x failed with
	    "Can not switch to exclusive access."
	    Part of SSP255_10.

	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.

	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.

	Id = NSMex01172
	    OmniBack II did not report correct barcodes during
	    rescan of scsi II libraries. Rescan failed.
	    Part of SSP255_30.

	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.

	Id = NSMex01246
	    Busy drive handling (eject feature) did not work
	    if robotic was on the remote host.
	    Part of SSP255_40.

	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 additional check
	    was added to prevent this.
	    Part of SSP255_46.

	PHSS_14337:
	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.

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_15793

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_15793.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_15793.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_15793.  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_15793.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_15793.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 with Id 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.
