	PHSS_18787: ABORT
		This patch fixes a problem which can cause prm0d
		to abort with SIGBUS.

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_18787

Symptoms:
	PHSS_18787:
	1) prmrun unable to spawn interactive jobs
	2) prm0d dumps core and exits with SIGBUS.
	3) online release notes are missing

Defect Description:
	PHSS_18787:
	1) prmrun spawns the desired job and exits, rather
	than becoming the job itself.  This behavior prevents
	running interactive commands, such as shells, via
	prmrun.  This patch provides a new prmrun which does
	run the desired job in the background.  The workaround
	is to use prmmove to assign an interactive process to
	a PRM group.

	2) prm0d (memory daemon) will dump core and exit with
	SIGBUS when there is paging activity on the system and
	prm0d is suppressing processes.

	3) The PRM C.01.06 release notes are not online.  This
	patch installs PostScript and plain text versions of the
	release notes in /opt/prm/newconfig/RelNotes.

Installation Instructions:

	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,

	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_18787

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_18787.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_18787.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_18787.  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_18787.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_18787.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	SUBSYSTEM_SHUT
	PRM must be reset (disabled) before installing this
	patch.  After the patch is installed, PRM may be
	enabled.
