	    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_25823:
	Id = HSLco30300
	    The command /etc/horcmgr fails if the command
	    device is used by another split mirror session.

	Resolution:
	    New environment variables are introduced
	    SSEA_RM_RETRY and SSEA_RM_SLEEP.

	    SSEA_RM_RETRY defines the number of retries.
	    SSEA_RM_SLEE defines sleeping time in seconds,
	    before new retry is started.

	    Part of SSPUX310_063.

	Id = HSLco29967
	    If Ioscan last more than 20 minutes and disks status
	    is changed from CLAIMED to SCAN than disks in SCAN
	    state are not reported.

	Resolution:
	    Checking of ioscan output is changed; disks in state
	    SCAN are correctly reported.

	PHSS_22916:
	Id = HSLco23290
	    Due to the changes made for JFS 3.3 support,
	    volumes are not properly mounted on HP-UX
	    10.20 systems.

	Resolution:
	    Old code is applied for HP-UX 10.20 platforms.

	Id = NSMex03482
	    Disk synchronization failure is reported as "Normal".

	Resolution:
	    Message statuses are properly reported.

	Id = NSMex03547
	    Resolving of objects fails if stat() function reports
	    error for any entry in /etc/mnttab.

	Resolution:
	    Irrelevant errors are skipped during the resolving.

	Id = NSMex03717
	    a) OmniBack II does not handle soft links correctly.

	    b) SSEA Integration backup does not work properly in
	        case that a single session contains both filesystem
	        and rawdisk objects.

	Resolution:
	    Fixes are implemented in ssea.

	Id = NSMex03739
	    Pre- and post-exec scripts return invalid exit status
	    because of timing problem.


	Resolution:
	    Environment variable OB2EXECTIMEOUT is introduced.
	    Variable represents timeout (in seconds) after the end
	    of pre- and post-exec script. Default value is 0.
	    Recommended value is between 5 and 10 seconds.

	Id = NSMex03749
	    Filesystem is not mounted with the options that were
	    used before split mirror backup was performed.

	Resolution:
	    Command line mount command is used instead of mount

	    XP256 Raid Manager's pairdisplay command returns
	    invalid status which causes some raw disks to fail
	    during resolving.

	Resolution:
	    Status checking changed to ignore invalid status from
	    pairdisplay command.

	    Part of SSPUX310_029.

	Id = NSMex03390
	    During split mirror backup required filesystems are not
	    mounted.

	Resolution:

	    Part of SSPUX310_034.

	Id = NSMex03651
	    IPC buffer for communication between SSEA Agents on
	    backup and application host is too small.

	Resolution:
	    IPC buffer increased.

	    Part of SSPUX310_039.

	PHSS_21734:
	Id = NSMex03058
	    The option '-bc1' is not recognized by the SSEA agent.

	Resolution:
	    The SSEA agent has been improved to recognize the
	    '-bc1' option, which results in starting a backup
	    of disk pairs.

	PHSS_19525:
	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. 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.
