Patch Name: PHSS_25486 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 OV ITO6.0X Solaris OV-PA Agent C.03.45 Creation Date: 02/01/25 Post Date: 02/02/01 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: HP OpenView IT/Operations 6.00 for Sun Solaris Filesets: OVOPC-PA-CLT.OVOPC-PA-SOL,A.06.00 Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_25486 Symptoms: PHSS_25486: - H554001909 A problem that caused extract to create unreadable log files when extracting global summary records from log files containing more than 32 disk devices has been fixed. - 8606165656 The GBL_ACTIVE_PROC and GBL_ALIVE_PROC metrics have been fixed, so that now correct values are reported. - H554001710 ttd does not core dump anymore when it receives an empty string from arm_init call instead of an application name. Although the name of application in such cases will be "unknown", you have to correct your arm_init call and specify the name of application to avoid further problems. - R555010524 scope has been modified to apply additional checks to make sure that new processes ("N") and killed processes ("K") events are paired up as expected. This additional checking is activated by the threshold settings of the parm file. Make sure that shortlived option is specified, and nonew and nokilled options are not. - 8606211506 The GBL_RUN_QUEUE metric has been fixed, so that now accurate values are reported. - H554001863 The GBL_BLOCKED_IO_QUEUE metric has been fixed, so that now correct values are reported. - R555007909 New Logical Volume metrics LV_READ_BYTE_RATE and LV_WRITE_BYTE_RATE have been added. - 8606166180 The class LABEL length is now increased to up to 48 characters. - H554001851 scopeux no longer core dumps in disk configuration sequence on Sun Solaris systems with specific hardware setup. This hardware setup includes missing symbolic links in the /dev/dsk pointing to the actual disk device special files and the way hardware path for instances of physical disk devices is defined. - H554001599 The maximum extracted log files size has been increased from 64 megabytes to 3584 megabytes. When creating a new log file the new default blocksize is used (before 1 kilobyte, now 56 kilobytes). Please note that older versions of MeasureWare Agent will not be able to read extracted log files with the new blocksize. - H554001596 Fixed extract, so that "extract -xt w-l -gapdzcnt" now produces a valid log file. - H554001721 The problem that caused extract to intermittently core when processing log files greater than 32 disk devices and/or greater than 4 LAN devices has been fixed. - 8606178531 The report file title can now have up to 246 characters. - H554001758 Application names with trailing whitespace characters in the parm file no longer result in 'visually duplicate' application names in logindx for MeasureWare Agent. - R555010157 The installation procedure has been updated, so that now the installation checks HP OpenView Operations communication protocol (NCS or DCE) and installs MeasureWare Agent accordingly. - R555008449 The TT_USER_MEASUREMENT_AVG metric is now intervalized and is no longer averaged over the life of the transaction. - 8606196678 MeasureWare Agent no longer displays an unneeded error message, while running in NCS communication mode, after issuing the command agsysdb -l: "ERROR: Could not compose string binding for host ncadg_ip_tcp. rpc_string_binding_compose failed 0xffffffff. (AG1-63)" MeasureWare Agent does not use TCP ports in NCS communication mode, but it does in DCE communication mode. The message was removed for NCS communication mode. - H554001930 The PROC_MEM_RES and PROC_MEM_VIRT memory metric no longer shows discrepancy for 64-bit processes on 64-bit OS (Sun Solaris 7 and 8). - H554001864 alarmgen no longer sends false alarms if not all processes are engaged within application. - R555010179 A new option, [-delpv], was added to the "agsysdb" command to allow you to manually remove a PerfView system from the agdb file without using the connected PerfView software. - 8606179221 MeasureWare Agent now supports installation on symbolic links. PHSS_22484: - 5003449975 MeasureWare extract appends duplicate records to extracted log. - 5003456681 LV_SPACE_UTIL not updated when file system is expanded. - 8606107840 Cannot connect to MeasureWare through a NAT firewall. - 8606157484 Dependencies on transitional links should have been removed, some were missed. - D500397968 Process Resource Manager metrics not supported by MeasureWare. - R555007835 Incorrect extra LAN entries reported with Auto- Port Aggregation. - R555008431 Process cpu metrics incorrect for multi threaded process run with nice. - R555008831 MeasureWare rep_server can get memory exception reading extracted log. - R555009120 MeasureWare extract can get memory exception processing logs with too many devices. - R555009152 MeasureWare extract creates duplicate records extracting NETIF data.

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_25486 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_25486.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_25486. 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_25486.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_25486.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: This patch supersedes one or more previous patches. If the superseded patches included special installation instructions those instructions can be found below. PHSS_22484: If you will remove the VPPA deployable subagent included in this patch and, later on deploy on your system an older version of VPPA deployable subagent you will have to manually remove files from the /opt/perf/bin and /opt/perf/lib directory. rm -f /opt/perf/bin/midaemon rm -f /opt/perf/bin/ttd rm -f /opt/perf/bin/perfstat rm -f /opt/perf/lib/libnums.so
