Id = NSMex02370 Modification time of Novell file changes during the backup. Id = NSMex02893 Disk agent aborts with an error on random file systems periodically: "Not a valid mount point". PHSS_16473: Id = HSLco10531 or Id = HSLco10922 A user could obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack II client host.

PHSS_14343: Id = NSMfc08250 OmniBack II did not backup Raw Devices properly on Digital Unix because of incorrectly determined Raw Device capacity. Id = NSMbb17288 Backup of NDS abended the server due to a lack of a stack space. Id = NSMex00850 OmniBack II Disk Agent after restore changed on the directory the space limit for the user. Id = NSMex01100 After running restore the permissions of directories in the path of any restored file changed to 777. Id = NSMex00983 Filesystem restore failed with coredump on Solaris and SunOS. Defect Description: PHSS_20384: Id = HSLco17608, HSLco17609 User can obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack II client host. Resolution: The problem with unauthorized access has been fixed. Id = NSMbb21590 Omniback has a system-imposed limit on number of ACLs per file that is inadvertently copied from Digital UNIX definition (15) to HP-UX. The problem occurs for files with 16 ACLs. Resolution: Number of ACLs for HP-UX is now defined by using system-defined constant NACLENTRIES, which has a value of 16 on HP-UX. Id = NSMbb21727 Append to the end of media takes a long time beacuse it is jumping over the filemarks one-by-one, until the EOD is reached. Resolution: A jump over a milion filemarks is now used for posistioning to the end of data. Part of the SSP255_127. Id = NSMex02103 The file cell_server cannot be created on HP-UX 10.20 after DA packet is installed on a system with no OB2 clients installed before, due to a missing directory in the client push packet. This enables the same client to be imported into another cell, without knowing that it already belongs to one cell. Resolution: The missing directory has been added to the client push packet. Id = NSMex02324 The backup of Novell /CONFIGURATION abends with various memory errors. Resolution: Smaller amount of memory is needed for the backup of /CONFIGURATION after the design change. Id = NSMex01537 Due to automount locking os /etc/mnttab file, setmntent() fails with "Permission denied". Resolution: Time-out and retry for the setmntent() function call has been added. Id = NSMex01470 Open files cannot be backed up on Novell system, if some specific permissions have been set. Resolution: File opening changed. Id = NSMex01693 Restoring a HP-UX 10.20 filesystem backup to a SGI system fails. Resolution: vrda fixed. Part of the SSP255_96. Id = NSMex01689 After installing PHSS_15791, an attempt to initialize a medium on the Netware system causes an ABEND. Resolution: Freeing of nonallocated memory improved. Part of the SSP255_97. Id = NSMex01608 Backup fails with the following error in syslog: "Module did not release 976 resources. OMNIBACK VBDA cache memory allocator out of available memory." Resolution: Memory use is optimized for DA binaries. Part of the SSP255_105. Id = NSMex01837 Backup of local filesystem on SINIX 5.4.3. fails with the error message: "Cannot allocate/attach shared memory (Invalid argument) => aborting." Resolution: DA can attach to MA's shared memory when both processes are running on the local host. Part of the SSP255_111. Id = NSMex01880 Directories that were backed up with 755 permissions are restored with 777 permissions. Resolution: Permissions are restored correctly. Part of the SSP255_115. Id = NSMex01918 After installing OmniStorage patch PHSS_15818, NVBDA tries to close invalid file handle and therefore fails with an error: "Got unexpected close from NVBDA on ." Resolution: Closing file handles improved. Part of he SSP255_121. Id = NSMex02079 Incremental backup of JFS snapshot filesystems performs a full backup when inode changed time is modified. Resolution: Changed semantics for OB2CHECKCHANGETIME environment variable. See the Special Installation Instructions section for details. Part of the SSP255_123. Id = NSMex01948 Last block on the first tape is written again as the first block on the second tape which causes restore failure. Resolution: BMA fake writing of the last block implemented. Part of the SSP255_130. Id = NSMex02169 OmniBack II 2.55 destroys directory's AcessControlList, when the overwrite option is used. Resolution: Improved handling of ACL data blocks. Part of the SSP255_131. Id = NSMex02224 OmniBack II 2.55 can not handle door file type. Resolution: Support for door file type added for Solaris 2.6 and higher. See Special Installation Instructions for details. Id = NSMex02370 After the backup of the Novell filesystem the "Modification Time" of all files was changed by Omniback minus one hour on the Novell client. Resolution: Part of the SSP255_140. Id = NSMex02893 In some cases when machine has a lot of mount points, it can happen that the mount table is not updated fast enough. In such cases OB2 can not successfully resolve the mount point, so it fails. Resolution: Moutpoint resolving is now done on a timeout-retry basis, using newly introduced environemnt variables: OB2CHKMOUNTSLEEP = seconds OB2CHKMOUNTRETRY = nubmer od retries Part of the SSP255_149. PHSS_16473: Id = HSLco10531 or Id = HSLco10922 A user could obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack II client host. Id = HSLco10532 A user could gain unauthorized file access on an OmniBack II client host. PHSS_15791: Id = NSMex01138 On Novell Netware it was not possible to restore files having a ' character in the pathname. Part of SSP255_31. Id = NSMex01142 Raw partitions with a block size other than multiples of 1024 bytes (for example 512 bytes) could not be restored to partitions with a block size of 1024 bytes. The restore failed with the message "Can not write: (Invalid argument)". Part of SSP255_34 Id = NSMex01247 Restore hung if the MA and DA were runing on the same machine while the hostnames for the agents were different. This has been observed in a ServiceGuard environment. Part of SSP255_49. Id = NSMex01341 or Id = NSMex01262 Novell Netware 4.11 abended during backup of files locked by Novell, if SP5A and SP5B were installed. Id = NSMex01385 Restore failed if more than 150 files were specified. The functionality of "-tree" option in /opt/omni/bin/omnir was enhanced to support input redirection: "-tree " OB2CHKMOUNTSLEEP= NOTE! Be sure that no Filesystem or Raw backup or restore is running while you distribute the packet to the Disk Agent client.
