Id = NSMex02169 Restoring the data with the "overwrite" option fails with an error: "Can not find ACL list ([0] Error 0)". Id = NSMex02961 Restores to AIX clients fail with a message: "Can not write ([27] File too large)". Id = NSMex02893 Disk Agent periodically aborts on random file systems. The error reported is: "Not a valid mount point => aborting". PHSS_20115: Id = HSLco17608, HSLco17609 An user could obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack II client host. Id = HSLco15414 FSBRDA crashes, if DFS is present. PHSS_18678: Id = NSMex02422 Filesystem backup on AIX reports a warning: "Directory is a mount point to a different filesystem. Backed up as empty directory." and the file system is not backed up. Id = NSMex02398 Restore session of a rawdisk section fails with an error message: "Section has not been restored !" Id = NSMex02237 Restore from A.02.10 tapes reports: Can not write: ([14] Bad address) => not restored. Id = HSLco14681 Files with creation time 0 (Jan 1st 1970) not being backed up. Id = NSMex02210 Backup of vxfs on NCR aborts with the error message: "SM/DA protocol error => aborting." Id = NSMex02058, NSMex02172 OmniStorage 3.0 integration doesn't work after installing any of the following patches: PHSS_16585 (aC++ compiler patch) PHSS_15731 (DCE patch) PHSS_16429 ( -''- ) Id = NSMex02224 The following error occurs during the backup of Solaris client, and the file is not backed up: [Warning] From:VBDA@kosh "" Time: 03/22/99 15:48:39 /etc/.syslog.door Object does not reside in current filesystem => not backed up. Id = NSMex02075 Backup of an EFS filesystem reports different errors: "Can not read ACLs." "Can not preserve time attributes." Id = NSMex01919, NSMex02474 Backup of OmniStorage filesystem fails with an error message: [Minor] From: NVBDA@host.domain.com "" Time: 06/02/99 11:22:32 Can not close VBFS file (/dir/filename), invalid file handle specified in the API call. VBFS API error code (22). Can not write: ([14] Bad address) => not restored. 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_21329: Id = JAGac39954 OmniBack II does not correctly resolve "=" sign in a mountpoint name. Resolution: Fix is implemented in backup disk agent. Id = NSMex02169 When restoring the directories with an "overwrite" option, ACL's are not restored correctly. Resolution: Directory ACL's are restored correctly. Id = NSMex02961 AIX systems have limited file size on the system (ulimit). Because of this limitation OmniBack II is not able to create file larger than ulimit value. Resolution: OB2_SETULIMIT variable is introduced. When set to 1, restore sets ulimit to unlimited and successfully restores large files. Id = NSMex02893 If a system has a lot of mount points, it can happen that the mount table is not updated fast enough. In such cases OmniBack II can not successfully resolve mount points, so it fails. Resolution: Two new OmniBack II variables are introduced: OB2CHKMOUNTSLEEP and OB2CHKMOUNTRETRY. Resolving of mount point is retried OB2CHKMOUNTRETRY times with a timeout of OB2MOUNTSLEEP seconds. Part of the SSPUX300_099. PHSS_20115: Id = HSLco17608, HSLco17609 An user could obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack II client host. Resolution: The problem with unauthorized access has been fixed. Id = HSLco15414 FSBRDA crashes on a system with DCE installed and EFS share mounted when trying to prepare host backup specification and browsing the system via GUI. Resolution: Loop conditions changed. PHSS_18678: Id = NSMex02422 Uninitialized structure leaves filesystem mountpoint string non-empty in case the mountpoint is not specified, which leads to the filesystem not being backed up. Resolution: Filesystem mountpoint string initialized to empty string as default. Id = NSMex02398 Disk agent record contains section name for rawdisk backup. Sometimes, the name gets corrupted and the restore disk agent is not able to restore the section. Part of SSPUX300_075 Resolution: Section name corruption prevented. Id = NSMex02237 Disk Agent Record format has been changed slightly from A.02.10 to A.03.00. Part of SSPUX300_056 Resolution: Restore disk agent capable of handling old record format. Id = HSLco14681 A file is selected for full backup, if its creation time is bigger than 0. This doesn't include files with creation time 0. Resolution: Disk agent now includes files with creation time 0 for backup. Id = NSMex02210 Because of an error in the code, VXFS cannot be backed up on NCR system. Resolution: Fix in the code especialy for NCR. Id = NSMex02058, NSMex02172 Installation of any of the following patches causes failures of OmniBack II OmniStorage Integration disk agents: PHSS_16585, PHSS_15731 or PHSS_16429. The patches replace some shared libraries (aC++, DCE) needed by OmniBack II agents. Read 'Special Installation Instrcutions' below for detailed instructions on how to enable the fixed binaries. Part of SSPUX300_025, SSPUX300_033, SSPUX300_049. Resolution: New binaries have been relinked with the libraries from the listed patches. Id = NSMex02224 ".door" file type is a special file type on Solaris 2.6 or higher, and OmniBack II is not capable of backing up such files. Part of SSPUX300_064 Resolution: The '.door' files on Solaris 2.6 or higher are now backed up like FIFO files. Only special file is backed up and no bindings or threads related to it are saved. During the restore, fattach() function is used to bind dummy door file descriptor with object on filesystem name space. Id = NSMex02075 The problem is caused by a failure of afs_syscall() function of DCE API when trying to read ACL list from a file or directory. Part of SSPUX300_058 Resolution: A wrapper function around afs_syscall() when reading ACLs makes sure we handle the result correctly. Id = NSMex01919, NSMex02474 Nvbda tries to close the same file twice (this has been a requirement in previous OmniStorage versions), and this results in an error. Resolution: A file is now closed only once, which is enough. 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.

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_21329 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_21329.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_21329. 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_21329.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_21329.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: PHSS_21329: 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! OmniStorage 3.0 integration has been introduced with the patch PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679. By default, agents for OmniStorage 3.0 are installed when pushing the OST integration packets to the OST client. There are also agent for OST 2.2 included, and this is the procedure for configuring OB2 with OST 2.2 agents, after the OST has been redistributed to the OST client system from the OB2 installation server: # cd /opt/omni/lbin # mv nvbda nvbda_3.0 # mv nvrda nvrda_3.0 # cp nvbda_2.2 nvbda # cp nvrda_2.2 nvrda NOTE! In order to solve the issue with Id = NSMex02224 the following steps should be taken after pushing the DA package to the Solaris 2.6 system (to preserve the old binaries and make the fix effective): # cd /usr/omni/bin # mv vbda vbda.orig # mv vrda vrda.orig # mv fsbrda fsbrda.orig # cp vbda_2.6 vbda # cp vrda_2.6 vrda # cp fsbrda_2.6 fsbrda NOTE! Disk Agent on Sequent Dynix 4.4.2 is introduced with PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679. NOTE Disk Agent on SGI IRIX 6.5 is introduced with PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679. Before push installation to SGI IRIX 6.5 you have to install also the latest OB2 patch for CORE fileset. This is currently PHSS_18680/PHSS_18681. Patch includes the following Site Specific Patches: SSPUX300_025 SSPUX300_026 SSPUX300_033 SSPUX300_037 SSPUX300_047 SSPUX300_049 SSPUX300_053 SSPUX300_056 SSPUX300_058 SSPUX300_064 SSPUX300_075 SSPUX300_099
