Patch Name: PHSS_25968 Patch Description: s700_800 10.X OV OB3.10 patch - SAP packet Creation Date: 02/05/23 Post Date: 02/05/29 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,A.03.10 Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_25968 Symptoms: PHSS_25968: Id = HSLco28607 SR:8606213466 SAP integration on Oracle 8.1.6 64 bit fails with: "/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libwtc8.sl'". Id = NSMex03690 SR:B554000819 Load balancing of symmetrix disk fails. Id = HSLco26047 SR:H555005128 Even if brarchive exit code is not 0, OmniBack II reports "Session completed successfully". Id = HSLco32623 SR:H555007122 When manual balancing is used SAP backup fails. Id = HSLco33261 SR:H555007380 SAP integration on UNIX clients automatically passes "-u" option. PHSS_22164: Id = NSMex03617, NSMex03601 After installation of the superseded patch PHSS_21732 for 10.x or PHSS_21733 for 11.x, brbackup session fails with the error message: "Brbackup doesn't respond." Id = JAGab72213 The file /var/opt/omni/log/debug.log fills up with an 'unlink' message: Main: unlink(switchLog=/oracle/KAP/sapbackup /.switch.log) failed. Id = NSMex03392 Lines of output from brbackup are duplicated in the session output. 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_25968: Id = HSLco28607 Shared library path for 64 bit libraries in omni_sap.exe and SAP_Template is not correct. Resolution: Path for ${ORA_HOME}/lib64 was added. Id = NSMex03690 New feature is not added appropriately. Resolution: Load balancing feature for Symmetrix disk correctly added. Id = HSLco26047 omnisap.exe script on UNIX does not exit with brarchive exit code. Resolution: omnisap.exe was changed to forward the exit code. Part of SSPUX310_060. Id = HSLco32623 During SAP backup using manual balancing BAL_* files are not found and backup fails. Resolution: Code is corrected. Id = HSLco33261 brbackup/brarchive is always started with "-u" option which displays logon information. Resolution: brbackup/brarchive options are passed in a file. PHSS_22164: Id = NSMex03617, NSMex03601 If there is no response from brbackup, the backup session waits for an hour and then reports the error: "Brbackup doesn't respond." Resolution: The session now waits for 15 minutes, and reports a warning indicating that there has been no response from brbackup. If there is still no response after 1 hour, the session is aborted. Id = JAGab72213 The presence of the file .switch.log is used to indicate that brbackup is still running, and that backint must wait for it to complete. Later brbackup removes the file. When then backint tries to unlink it, backint fails and repeatedly writes the 'unlink' message to the log file. Resolution: Backint does no longer log the message when checking for the presence of the .switch.log file. Id = NSMex03392 Sometimes brbackup sends empty lines to it's output device. In this case backint repeats the last text line for each empty line it receives. Resolution: Backint now checks for empty lines and does no longer repeat the last text line. 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 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.
