Patch Name: PHSS_23685 Patch Description: s700_800 10.X OV OB3.10 patch - ORACLE 8 packet Creation Date: 01/07/31 Post Date: 01/08/06 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-OR8-P,A.03.10 Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_23685 Symptoms: PHSS_23685: Id = NSMbb37117 util_oracle8.exe complains that Oracle is not linked with OmniBack II for backup. Id = NSMex03723 Split mirror backup of Oracle 8 fails with an error: "Can not mount database on Backup Host.". Id = NSMex03726 Oracle 8i backup fails if more than 30 channels are allocated to be used for the backup. Id = JAGab78692 Restore of the catalog database fails when two target databases are registered in the same catalog database. Id = NSMex03765 Concurrent backup of two split mirror integrations does not work. Id = NSMex04024 Backup of ORACLE 8 database fails with the following error: "[61:8000]Client named "" not configured in the barlist. RMAN-00569: =====error message stack follows==== ... ... ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="_1<_1_127:356290096>.dbf", parms="" ORA-27007: failed to open file HP-UX Error: 1245: Unknown system error" Id = NSMex03972, NSMex04263, NSMex04274 Oracle SysAdmin password can be seen in a list of running processes during a backup of an Oracle database. PHSS_20111: Id = HSLco17421 Requirement to support Oracle 8.1 within the ORACLE 8 integration package. PHSS_19521: 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_23685: Id = NSMbb37117 Library $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so is not properly linked. Resolution: Library $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so is properly linked. Id = NSMex03723 If Oracle 8 is configured using Oracle native tools (for example, dbassist), user gets an error message: "Not able to use log_archive_dest_1 and log_archive_dest in Oracle configuration file." because log_archive_dest_1 can not be overridden. This causes split mirror backup to fail with: "Can not mount database on Backup Host". Resolution: Configuration script for OmniBack II Oracle 8 integration is modified to be able to set log_archive_dest properly. Id = NSMex03726 Parameters used in Oracle 8i backup inside the "rman" statement are sent through sed as a single line. Since sed has a limitation (2kB per line), backup fails. Resolution: Parameters for a backup are sent in a file. Part of SSPUX310_044. Id = JAGab78692 ob2rman.exe syntax causes rcvcat.exp file to be overwritten. Resolution: Fix is implemented in ob2rman.exe. Part of SSPUX310_030. Id = NSMex03765 Shell scripts executed for concurrent sessions use same temporary files which causes concurrent split mirror backups to fail. Resolution: All the temporary used files have "_${OB2BARLIST}" appended to its names. Part of SSPUX310_042. Id = NSMex04024 OmniBack II Oracle 8 integration cannot handle underscore sign ("_") in Oracle database name. Resolution: Oracle databases with underscores are handled in a proper manner. Part of SSPUX310_050. Id = NSMex03972, NSMex04263, NSMex04274 Database connection parameters are improperly sent. Resolution: Database connection parameters are sent in a secure manner. Part of SSPUX310_049, SSPUX310_054 and SSPUX310_056. PHSS_20111: Id = HSLco17421 The OmniBack ORACLE 8 integration does not support Oracle 8.1. Resolution: The OmniBack ORACLE 8 integration scripts were improved to allow Oracle 8.1.x online backup on HP-UX 11.0. See Special Installation Instructions for details on configuring the Oracle 8.1 integration. PHSS_19521: 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 control 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_23685 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_23685.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_23685. 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_23685.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_23685.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: PHSS_23685: NOTE! This Patch has to be installed on the Installation Server host. The Oracle 8 packets must be redistributed to the Oracle 8 client system(s) afterwards to get the fixes into effect. NOTE! The patches PHSS_20111 (10.x) and PHSS_20112 (11.x) introduce the support for the online backup of Oracle 8.1.x on HP-UX 11.0. However, Oracle 8.1.x is not supported together with the HP SureStoreE Agent (SSEA) functionality. The Oracle 8.1 integration configuration is slightly different from the one for Oracle 8.0. You do not need to relink the Oracle executable to change the media management software. Instead, only the shared library must be softlinked in the following way: These instructions use '.so' for the shared library suffix. If the shared library suffix on your platform is not '.so', modify the filenames in the following commands accordingly. With Oracle8i, the Oracle executable always looks for the shared library: $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so By default, this shared library is a symbolic link to the Oracle internal DISK implementation: $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdssbtsh8.so i.e. $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so --> $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdssbtsh8.so Use the following procedure to switch the media management software: 1. Shut down all Oracle instances 2. Remove the libobk.so symbolic link: rm $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so 3. Symbolically link the media manager library file to $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so: ln -s /opt/omni/lib/libob2oracle8.so \ $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so 4.Start up the Oracle instances NOTE! The patches PHSS_19521/19522 introduce support for HP SureStore E XP256 disk array. Before the new functionality can be used the OB2 Oracle8 agent must be upgraded or installed on the OmniBack II clients. In order to enable the HP SureStoreE Agent (SSEA) functionality, a license-to-use (B7023AA) must be installed. In addition, at least the following OB2 patches are required: PHSS_19519/PHSS_19520 - Cell Server patch PHSS_19523/PHSS_19524 - Core patch PHSS_19525/PHSS_19526 - SSEA integration patch PHSS_19594/PHSS_19595 - SAP integration patch OMNIBACK_00010 - Windows NT Some of these above mentioned patches may be superseded by a newer patch.
