Id = NSMex03294 Restarting of a failed backup session results in an error message: "Expecting new option when parsing." Id = NSMex03346 Omnidbutil -readascii fails with the error message: "ascii file is corrupted." PHSS_21234: Id = NSMex02885 BSM reports unexpected close message during backup preview. Id = NSMex02929 Bad performance of Informix logical logs restore. Id = NSMex03097 Copy session of write-protected tape is aborted and cleaning tape is requested in the source tape drive. Id = NSMex02931 Too many backup sessions running in parallel. Id = NSMex02964 License is not recognized on a Cell Manager system with multiple lan cards although it has been prepared for one of the lan cards IP address. Id = NSMex03110 Backup fails with an error: "Could not connect to inet in order to start BMA". Id = NSMex02738 Bad backup performance after upgrade from OmniBack II 2.55 or 3.00. Id = NSMex02639, NSMex03017 "omnirpt -report fs_not_conf" gives incorrect output. Id = NSMex03144 Mounting of media fails with an error: "Volume not found of this type". Id = NSMex03052, JAGac40383 Filesystem disk agents of a host backup are not started until the pre/post-exec of the host object is completed. PHSS_19519: Id = HSLco16368 HP SureStoreE Disk Array XP256 is not supported by OmniBack II to perform a split mirror backup. This patch does not fix any other problem. Defect Description: PHSS_21650: Id = NSMex03001 When exporting tapes from a cell, wrong sessions are purged. Resolution: Sessions not residing on the exported tape are not purged. Id = NSMex03294 Additional protection option is not recognized at session restart. Resolution: Bsm now recognizes the option "-protect days ". Id = NSMex03346 Omnidbutil -writeascii does not handle 2GB limit of ascii files properly. If any ascii file during writeascii procedure exceeds 2 GB, the file is not completed properly. Because of that "omnidbutil -readascii" fails with an error message that ascii file is corrupted. Resolution: When a file exceeds 2GB during the writeascii procedure then an additional ascii file is created. Part of SSPUX310_026. PHSS_21234: Id = NSMex02885 BSM reports unexpected close message during backup preview even if Disk Agent was completed successfully. Resolution: Counting of processed data size improved. Id = NSMex02929 There is a consistent delay of 30 seconds between each logical log restore. Resolution: Fix is implemented in Restore Session Manager. Id = NSMex03097 Copy session is aborted when copying a write-protected tape. When write-protected tape in the source drive is checked, the cleaning tape for that drive is requested and the following message appears: "Cleaning tape requested by device . Please clean the drive.". Resolution: The cleanme signal is now processed correctly. Id = NSMex02931 It is not possible to have more than 50 sessions running in parallel with OmniBAck II 3.10. Resolution: The maximum number of session running in parallel is set to 200. Part of the SSPUX310_004. Id = NSMex02964 On some systems ioctl command returns 0 as the IP address of some of the lan cards. This value has been used as the end of IP address list and OmniBack II rejects the license if it is prepared for an IP address that is listed after "0" address. Resolution: "0" addresses are not added to the list of valid system IP addresses. This way license checking searches complete IP address list until if finds the IP address that the license has been prepared for. Id = NSMex03110 If more than one Media Agent is used in one session and they are located on the same Novell NetWare client, then the backup fails with an error: "Could not connect to inet in order to start BMA". Resolution: Delay for starting Media Agents increased. Id = NSMex02738 Performance degrated by up to 50% after upgrade from OmniBack II 2.55 or 3.10. Resolution: Redundant update of the objects removed. Id = NSMex02639, NSMex03017 "omnirpt -report fs_not_conf" gives incorrect output. Resolution: Processing of "allbdf" output changed. Id = NSMex03144 After the confirmation of mount request for GRAU DAS or Storage Tek ACS Library, OmniBack II tries to load "" (empty string) medium. Library returns an error that such a volume does not exist. Resolution: BSM rechecks medium allocation after the mount request confirmation. Id = NSMex03052, JAGac40383 If a datalist contains a host object with pre/post-exec script, disk agents for the filesystem objects of that host will not start until the script execution is complete. This is not suitable if the script doesn't need to be started for all filesystems. Resolution: A new global option is introduced in order to control the behaviour of the pre/post-exec script execution. See 'Special Installation Instructions' for details on setting the global option. Part of SSPUX310_018. PHSS_19519: Id = HSLco16368 Currently OmniBack II only supports the Split Mirror Backup concept with EMC Symmetrix. After the introduction of the new HP SureStoreE Disk Array XP256, it was requested that OmniBack II also supports this disk array with the split mirror backup concept. This requires to support Oracle 8.0.x and SAP R/3 in this concept as well and in addition a new manual is needed. Resolution: The SureStoreE Agent (SSEA) was developed for HP-UX to controll the SureStoreE disk array. The Backup Session Manager, INET on HP-UX, and the NT GUI were enhanced and in addition Oracle 8.0.x and SAP integrations are supported. Also the manual "HP OpenView OmniBack II HP SureStore E Disk Array XP256 Configuration Guide" will be released.

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_21650 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_21650.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_21650. 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_21650.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_21650.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: PHSS_21650: NOTE! This Patch has to be installed on the Cell Manager host. OmniBack II server must be shutdown before installing the patch. Use the following command for shutting down the server: "/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh stop". After the installation is complete, restart OmniBack II server using "/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh start". NOTE! New global option has been introduced with this patch for solving the problem NSMex03052 & JAGac40383. With this option, the backup administrator can decide wether the pre/post-exec script will be started for one filesystem on the host only, or should all the filesystem disk agents wait for the pre/post-exec script to finish before starting up the filesystem backup. The option must be set on the Cell Manager system, in the file /etc/opt/omni/options/global. This is the syntax: PrePostExecOnEveryVolumeForHostBackup=<0 or 1> default: 0 If this option is set (=1), Backup Disk Agent (BDA) for each volume of host object will execute the pre/post-exec script specified. If this option is not set (=0), the Backup Session Manager (BSM) will execute preexec just prior to starting first volume BDA and postexec after last volume BDA finished. Note that for the duration of pre/post-exec scripts, the BSM will not be responding. NOTE! The patches PHSS_19519/PHSS_19520 introduce support for HP SureStore E XP256 disk array. In order to enable the HP SurStoreE Agent (SSEA) functionality,a license-to-use (B7023AA) must be installed. In addition, the following OB2 patches are required: PHSS_19523/PHSS_19524 - Core patch PHSS_20111/PHSS_20112 - Oracle8 integration patch PHSS_19525/PHSS_19526 - SSEA integration patch PHSS_21236/PHSS_21237 - SAP integration patch OMNIBACK_00010 - Windows NT Some of the patches mentioned above may be superseded by a newer patch.
