Patch Description: s700_800 10.X OV OB3.00 patch - DA packet

Creation Date: 99/04/16

Post Date:  99/04/26

Warning: 99/05/24 - This Critical Warning has been issued by HP.

	- PHSS_17311 introduces a problem with raw disk backups from
	  OmniBack A.03.00.  The backups appear to complete
	  successfully, but the data cannot be recovered during a
	  restore.
	- The problem only affects the backup of raw disks.  The
	  problem does not affect the backup of file systems, Very
	  Big File Systems, the OmniBack II database, SAP objects,
	  Oracle objects, or Sybase objects with OmniBack A.03.00.
	- HP recommends that PHSS_17311 be removed from all systems
	  that use OmniBack A.03.00 to backup raw disks.  It should
	  also be removed from all software depots that may be used
	  to install patches on systems that use OmniBack A.03.00 to
	  backup raw disks.

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_17311

Symptoms:
	PHSS_17311:
	Id = NSMbb21590
	    Restore of files with 16 ACLs fails.

	Id = NSMex01880
	    Directories restored with permission attributes 777
	    instead of as set at backup time.

	Id = NSMex01990
	    OmniStorage 3.0 integration reports lots of
	    '/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol:' messages.

	Id = NSMex01919
	    After installing the OmniStorage patch PHSS_15818,
	    OmniBack integration fails with the message:
	    'BRRead return value = 0' and fails for
	    migrated files.

	Id = NSMex02051
	    Post Exec fails with exitcode 1.

	Id = HSLco13219
	    Omnistream reports warnings to both stdout and stderr.

	Id = HSLco12499
	    OmniBack II raw backup fails on Irix 6.x if the
	    capacity of the raw device is bigger than 2GB.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_17311:
	Id = NSMbb21590
	    The number of ACLs hardcoded to 15 causes OmniBackII
	    not being able to restore files with 16 ACLs correctly.
	Resolution:
	    The number of ACLs per file changed to 16.

	Id = NSMex01880
	    In some circumstances, the restore can change
	    permission attributes of a directory to 777. This is
	    not OK, since this enables anyone to access it.
	Resolution:
	    Vrda now correctly sets the access permissions of
	    files.

	Id = NSMex01990
	    The nvbda and nvrda executables are not linked
	    with OmniStorage 3.0 libraries. This causes them
	    to core dump.
	    Part of SSPUX300_025.
	Resolution:
	    OmniStorage integration binaries linked with
	    OST 3.0 libraries.

	Id = NSMex01919
	    At the end of backup, nvbda tries to close
	    an invalid file handle - functionality remained
	    from older OmniStorage library versions, where
	    every file had to be closed twice.
	    Part of SSPUX300_026.
	Resolution:
	    Change in the code, and relink with newest OST
	    library.

	Id = NSMex02051
	    Problem occurs if PreExec or PostExec script
	    forks, and parent process dies before child
	    process.
	    Part of SSPUX300_047.
	Resolution:
	    Relation between dad and forked child improved.

	Id = HSLco13219
	    Omnistream duplicates the warning messages to stdout,
	    although they have already been written to stderr.
	    Part of SSPUX300_037.
	Resolution:
	    Use correct filehandle (stderr) for warning messages.

	Id = HSLco12499
	    Ioctl function returns zero, when obtaining the raw
	    disk size, if the disk is bigger than 2Gb on
	    IRIX 6.x.
	    Part of SSPUX300_053.
	Resolution:
	    Disk agent now detects the disk size by seeking to
	    the end of disk, using the binary search technique.

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_17311

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_17311.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_17311.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_17311.  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_17311.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_17311.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	PHSS_17311:
	NOTE!
	Patch has to be installed on the Installation Server host.

	The Disk Agent packets must be redistributed
	to the Cell Manager system and client systems
	afterwards to get the fixes into effect.


	NOTE!
	This patch introduces OmniStorage 3.0 integration. In
	order to get it configured, these steps should be taken
	after pushing the OmniStorage integration package to
	the client system (to preserve the old binaries and
	make 3.0 integration effective):

	    # cd /opt/omni/lbin
	    # mv nvbda nvbda.orig
	    # mv nvrda nvbda.orig
	    # cp nvbda_3.0 nvbda
	    # cp nvrda_3.0 nvrda
