Patch Name: PHSS_24996 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 OV OB4.00 patch - CS packet Creation Date: 01/11/16 Post Date: 01/11/29 Warning: 01/12/20 - This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP. - PHSS_24996 introduced behavior that can cause OmniBack backups to fail. If the file: /opt/omni/newconfig/etc/opt/omni/options/global delivered in the patch is manually copied to: /etc/opt/omni/options/global then all subsequent OmniBack backups will begin to fail with a message similar to the following: Warning] From: BSM@win711 "DAT-Test1" Time: 12/12/01 10:10:40 There is a problem with storing messages in the database. The messages will still be visible while session is running, however they will not be stored into the database. (Cannot get file info of base session messages directory. System error: [2] No such file or directory - To work around this problem, any of the following actions may be taken: 1. If the pre-existing files were saved during the patch installation, which is the default behavior, the original version of the file can be restored from the save area by issuing the command: cp /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_24996/opt/omni/newconfig/\ etc/opt/omni/options/global \ /etc/opt/omni/options/global This will allow OmniBack to utilize the customized values from the original /etc/opt/omni/options/global file. 2. Rename the /etc/opt/omni/options/global file to /etc/opt/omni/options/global.PHSS_24996. This will allow OmniBack to utilize the default values for backups. 3. Obtain site-specific patch SSPUX400_016 from your local HP Support Center. This site-specific patch contains just the global file, which will need to be copied to /etc/opt/omni/options/global and /opt/omni/newconfig/etc/opt/omni/options/global.

Id = NSMex04520 SR: H555005999 Even though the Load Balancing is set min to 1 and max to 1, more than one Media Agent is started. Id = NSMex04549 SR: H555006047 SSEA Integration needs both SSEA and EMC licenses in order to run backup. Id = NSMex04472 SR: H555006595 Performing an upgrade of Omniback II internal database from 3.x to 4.0 version takes very long time. Id = NSMbb43127 SR: H555006592 Omnidbcheck does not work correctly in centralized media management environment. Defect Description: PHSS_24996: Id = HSLco27250 Import of integration session fails if the session is spanned over two or more media. Resolution: Checking for object description is changed. Id = HSLco27465 OmniBack II improperly recognizes post-exec script as a start request if pre-exec script fails in cluster environment. Resolution: OB2FORCEPOSTEXEC environment variable is added. Setting its value to 1 in the .omnirc file causes post-exec scripts to be started regardless of pre-exec script exit code. Id = HSLco27522 OmniBack II is not able to list all interfaces in cells with more than 20 LAN cards because the buffer is too small. Resolution: Buffer for storing interfaces is increased. Id = HSLco27577 Backup Session Manager does not retry checking for the cleaning tape after clean drive request is generated. Resolution: Backup Session Manager waits until cleaning tape is specified. Id = HSLco27801 Even though volume groups resolving or mounting fails for some reason during an EMC integration restore, Restore Session Manager loads the tape for restore and hangs. Resolution: Error handling is improved. Id = HSLco27848 Restoring a filesystem from GUI takes full backup session instead of proper incremental session. Resolution: Message "Trees not found" is reported only once. Id = HSLco27897 Omniback II does not check ob2rman's exit code. Resolution: Error handling is improved. Id = HSLco28271 After the mount request during restore from SCSI-II library, Omniback tries to load "" medium into drive. Resolution: Restore session manager rechecks the configuration after the mount request is confirmed. Id = HSLco29824 Exporting one of the needed media results in omitting "-into" option when backup session with "-no_log" option spans over multiple media. Resolution: Restore Session Manager error handling is improved. Id = JAGad48558 Initializition with "Autolabel" option creates duplicated tape labels. Resolution: Medium initialization does not create duplicated tape labels. Id = JAGad64442 OmniBack II internal database ownership belongs to primary node instead of floating hostname in MC/ServiceGuard environment. Resolution: Database ownership is set to floating hostname. Id = JAGad86475 Cell Request Server and session managers abort because of an accept() command failure on some HP-UX 11.x systems. Resolution: accept() command is re-executed in case of ENOBUFS failure. Id = NSMbb41837 Aborting of a restore session is incorrectly detected. Resolution: Aborting detection is correctly implemented. Id = NSMbb42348 NDMP password token does not have encryption flag set. Resolution: Encryption flag is set on NDMP password token. Id = NSMbb42370 "Log Files" option is not properly implemented. Resolution: "Log Files" option is properly implemented. Id = NSMbb42426 omnidbinit command does not remove binary files on HP-UX systems. Resolution: omnidbinit command removes binary files on HP-UX systems. Id = NSMex04465 Backup session is in sleep mode during the pre/post-exec scripts execution. This can cause the session to last a long time. Resolution: New global option is introduced. Details: name: PrePostExecOnEveryVolumeForHostBackup format: PrePostExecOnEveryVolumeForHostBackup=<0 or 1> default: 0 If this option is set (=1), Backup Disk Agent (BDA) will execute pre/post-exec scripts for every volume of host object specified. If this option is not set (=0), Backup Session Manager (BSM) will execute pre-exec script prior to starting first volume BDA and post-exec script after last volume BDA. During the execution of these scripts, the BSM will sleep. Id = NSMex04520 Backup Session Manager incorrectly handles load balancing option by using the default settings. Resolution: Backup Session Manager balance routine handling is modified to correctly use balancing options. Part of SSPUX400_001. Id = NSMex04549 Omniback is incorrectly checking the licenses. Resolution: Omniback checks the licenses correctly. Id = NSMex04472 Internal database upgrade performance is very poor in environments with a large number of files (>1000000) within single directory. Resolution: Performance of the upgrade is increased using the additional memory. In order to achieve this, two variables have to be set in /etc/opt/omni/options/global file: DcFbCdCacheTreshold=150 DcFbCdCacheMaxHoleSize=10 Id = NSMbb43127 If Cell Manager system is client for centalized media management database, omnidbcheck does not handle log files properly. Resolution: Log files handling is improved.
