Defect Description: PHSS_19957: Id = NSMex02288 Excluded dates are not correctly written in the datalist. Part of the SSP255_138. Resolution: Fix implemented in xomnibackup. PHSS_17297: Id = NSMbb21778 When trying to run omniabort with short session ID syntax for a session in the year 2000, an error occurs: "Cannot connect to required session x." where x is the session ID. Resolution: Correction of transformation from short session IDs to long session IDs. Id = HSLco11626 Handling of resize in Japanese Motif environment runs into endless loop, and OmniBack II hangs. Part of SSP255_107. Resolution: New motif libraries have been linked. Id = NSMex01955 Perl script omnirpt.pl treats HP-UX 11.x system the same way as 9.x.

Id = NSMbb16717 Perl script omnirpt.pl parses host objects in a wrong way. This produces the same object listed as many times as the object has been backed up in the output of omnirpt.pl. Part of SSP255_119. Resolution: Parsing of host backups has been fixed in omnirpt.pl.

Id = NSMex01363 "-list_scratch_media" option for omnimm listed media that were not protected OR can be used for backup. Now it lists media that are not protected AND can be used for backup. Part of SSP255_53. Id = NSMex01408 Output of "omnimm -media_info MediumLabel -detail" reported message: "Bad catalog access for message #263 in set 39!" for medium type if medium is Full and has a Copy. Par of SSP255_55. Id = NSMex01428 Omnimm -repository_update failed with an error "Starting Session Manager got bad options" if it was started on AIX host. Part of SSP255_60. Id = NSMex01425 Omnimm -list_pool shows copied tapes as "Bad" Part of SSP255_63. Id = NSMex01527 If hostname resolution has been changed, and user tries to restore objects from old backups using command omnir, OmniBack II reports 'Object not found'. The same happens by querying the database (omnidb). Object's hostname is stored in the database the way as expanded at the backup time, and if hostname expansion changes (e.g. from short hostname to long hostname), objects are not the same at compare time. See NOTE for resolution. Part of SSP255_74. Id = NSMex01531 If a Cell Server stops running, the xomnicellmon loses the connection to it, and it is never reestablished, once the Cell Server comes up again. Part of SSP255_75.

Id = HSLco10243 Omnib command failed with exit status "3" if datalist was incorrect. Now the exit status in such case is 12. Id = NSMex01553 Xomniadmin coredumped during the UserList browsing if the NIS was running on the system. Part of SSP255_86. Id = NSMex01645 OmniBack II Web reporting does not work if the Web Server is located on HP-UX 11.x. PHSS_14349: Id = NSMex01042 With A.02.55 it was possible to save barlist without having Access Right "Save datalist". If you selected the barlist -> "Backup selected ..." then it was possible to save the barlist. Part of SSP255_12. Id = NSMex01001 Omnicellinfo coredumped if option -allbdf and there was a host in the cell with lots of file-systems. Part of SSP255_15.

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_19957 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_19957.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_19957. 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_19957.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_19957.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: PHSS_19957: NOTE! Patch has to be installed on the Cell Server host. The Cell Console packet needs to be redistributed to the appropriate systems, where the Cell Consoles are installed before the patch modifications take effect. This can be done from within the "Cell Administration - Install" window of the OmnibackII graphical user interface. Option -noexpand has been added to commands omnidb and omnir in order to avoid hostname expanding, when hostname resolution at backup time is different than at query or restore time. The correct syntax for Object is (check man page for complete syntax, and see here for Object syntax): omnidb Object -sess session .... Object = [-noexpand] ( -filesystem Host:MountPoint Label | -vbfs Host:MountPoint Label | -omnidb Host:MountPoint Label | -rawdisk Host Label | -sap Host:Set ) -stream Host:Set | -oracle Host:Set | -sybase Host:Set ) Option -list_appendable_media has been added to omnimm command. Omnimm -list_appendable_media reports all appendable media per pool. Usage: omnimm -list_appendable_media PoolName NOTE: New option is not listed in help. PHSS_14349/PHSS_14350 * "omnicellinfo -allbdf" failed if the sum of characters of all filesystem names on one host was bigger than 1024 bytes. In PHSS_14349/PHSS_14350 this limit was increased to 8192 bytes.
