Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_18299

Symptoms:
	PHSS_18299:
	A number of customers have upgraded Fast Ethernet
	from A version of firmware to B version to be
	YR2K compliant. Turns out the B version
	implements new full duplex mib/trap that has
	in/out counters separate instead of combined.
	The ERM does not recognize the new trap format
	and therefore loadmon and archive data are zeros
	when every product used with full duplex
	interface. Two options seam available:
	1. create A version of firmware that is YR2K
	2. create 5.02 ERM patch that recognizes full
	   duplex MIB/trap and combines in and out
	   statistics into one stat so that 5.02 app
	   can support B firmware which is YR2K.
	This patch implements the second option.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_18299:
		The ease traps sent from the probe for
		the Full Duplex Fast Ethernet interface
		get rejected by the ERM, thus no data is
		collected for this type of interface.

	Resolution:
		The ease_get_stats() routine in net_ease.c file
		must recognize the new ssIfLastSampledOpaqueVersion
		ID assigned to the Full Duplex Fast ethernet
		interface. In addition, the new counters stats
		need to be converted to the old style stats,
		such that the new data can be collected.

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_18299

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_18299.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_18299.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_18299.  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_18299.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_18299.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	PHSS_18299:
	None.
