Patch Name: PHSS_21732 Patch Description: s700_800 10.X OV OB3.10 patch - SAP packet Creation Date: 00/05/31 Post Date: 00/07/05 Warning: 00/08/04 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP. - PHSS_21732 introduced a problem with OmniBack 3.10 using the 'util_file_online' option with SAP integration. Backups using this option will fail with the error message "Brbackup doesn't respond". Depending on timing, other problems could also occur. - To avoid this problem, either PHSS_21732 should be removed or the 'util_file_online' option provided by SAP should not be used. - The previous patch, PHSS_21236, does not exhibit this same problem. PHSS_21236 is being re-released until a replacement patch is available. If you decide to remove PHSS_21732 to avoid this problem, HP recommends that PHSS_21236 be installed after PHSS_21732 is removed to address as many known issues as possible. If PHSS_21236 was installed prior to PHSS_21732, it will automatically be restored when PHSS_21732 is removed and will not need to be re-installed. Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.00 10.01 10.10 10.20 s800: 10.00 10.01 10.10 10.20 Products: OmniBackII A.03.10 Filesets: OMNIBACK-II.OMNI-SAP-P Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded With Warnings Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_21732 Symptoms: PHSS_21732: Id = JAGab72213, JAGab72230, JAGac88670 The file debug.log contains a lot of entries like this: "unlink(switchLog=%s) failed. Error: %s" Id = NSMbb35986, NSMex03312 When running simultaneous backup of database and archive logs from the same database (same host, same Oracle SID), set IDs can become incorrectly assigned to objects and this can cause session failing with the error message: "Set name is duplicated". PHSS_21236: Id = NSMex03259 Backup of SAP/XP256 integration fails with the following message: BR295I Splitting mirror disks... BR278E Command output of '/opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit /opt/oracle/8.0.5/sapbackup/.bdcefvvi.lst': sh: /opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit: not found. BR280I Time stamp 2000-03-07 15.50.42 BR279E Return code from '/opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit /opt/oracle/8.0.5/sapbackup/.bdcefvvi.lst': 127 BR299E Split/resynchronization of mirror disks failed PHSS_20386: Id = NSMex02865, NSMex02928, NSMex03011 SAP backup fails with the following error message: "Set name is duplicated." Id = NSMex03030 SAP raw disk backup fails with the folowing error message: "Error: Detected size of partition /dev/sap is 2138864616. That's less than expected size 0." Id = NSMex03089 Although backint is started with correct parameters, they are not displayed within the the message "Backint is started with the following parameters." Id = NSMex03094 SAP backup fails with 'Segmentation Fault'. PHSS_19594: 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_21732: Id = JAGab72213, JAGab72230, JAGac88670 Some messages are logged to the debug.log file that should not be logged there. They indicate serious problems although there are actually none. Resolution: Checking of the unlink system function return value has been corrected. Id = NSMbb35986, NSMex03312 When two sessions with the same SID run on the same host at the same time, then Omniback only considers the first one. The second set ID is incorrectly assigned based on the object names from the first session only. Resolution: Search loop has been modified in such a way, that object names from all running session are now checked. Part of SSPUX310_024. PHSS_21236: Id - NSMex03259 The patch PHSS_20386/20387 does not contain the binary ob2smbsplit, which is needed for SAP/XP256 integration. Resolution: The binary ob2smbsplit for XP256 is included in HP-UX 10.20 / 11.x SAP Agent. PHSS_20386: Id = NSMex02865, NSMex02928, NSMex03011 Concurrent backup of the SAP database and its archive logs results in the session failure because the same set name is used for both backups. Resolution: Set number is increased every time a backup set is initiated. Part of SSPUX310_001, SSPUX310_010. Id = NSMex03030 SAP backup of a raw disk fails because the disk partition size returned from ioctl call is incorrectly compared to expected size of the partition in SAP input file. Only a part of the raw disk is backed up, and restore is not possible. Resolution: Raw disk size variable changed to 64-bit integer. Part of SSPUX310_009. Id = NSMex03089 Only argv[0] is displayed as the backint call parameter. Resolution: All parameters are displayed when backint is called. Id = NSMex03094 Incorrect 'if' statement results in error while opening a NULL file instead of correct balance file for SAP backup. Resolution 'If' statement now finds NULL filename not usable for opening, and balance file is not applied. PHSS_19594: 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.
