	Id = JAGae22283  SR: 8606257980
	    OmniBack II XP Integration backup using split-mirror
	    fails with:

	      "[Major] From: SSEA@<hostname> "" Time: <time>
	       File system for / object not mounted or local
	       disk is in backup."

Defect Description:
	PHSS_26883:
	Id = HSLco32243
	    SSEA agent tries to attach to the first command device
	    it finds. In cases when first command device is busy,
	    SSEA fails to attach.

	Resolution:
	    A list of command devices is created and if one of them
	    is busy, SSEA agent tries to attach to the next one.

	Id = HSLco32969
	    SSEA agent collects physical volume names from
	    "vgdisplay" output. In envirnments where physical
	    volumes are configured their names are collected as
	    well although they are not needed for resolving
	    process. This causes backup to fail.

	Resolution:
	    SSEA agent skips parsing of "vgdisplay" command as
	    soon as "PVG name" token is encountered.

	    Part of SSPUX410_010.

	Id = HSLco33105
	    SSEA agent dies when updating XP database because of
	    biffering problem.

	Resolution:
	    Buffer holding logical devices information is extended.

	    Part of SSPUX410_011.

	Id = HSLco33681
	    A "Major" message is displayed instead of "Warning" is
	    environments with LVM mirroring on application side.

	Resolution:
	    Message level is lowered to the level documented in
	    XP Integration Guide.

	Id = HSLco33697
	    Some combinations of mount API options and ownerships
	    of disk groups cause failures when import mapfile from
	    Application to Backup host.

	Resolution:
	    Command line mount is used instead of mount API.

	Id = HSLco34841
	    Scripts are executed with ".%s" which is "sh" instead of
	    script name.

	Resolution:
	    The dot is removed from fuction that executes the
	    scripts.

	Id = HSLco35984
	    Attaching fails in environments where alternate links
	    are used because of incorrect instance number counting.

	Resolution:
	    Instance numbers are properly counted if alternate links
	    are used.

	Id = HSLco36041
	    SSEA agent improperly handles "LDEV 0" (unknown logical
	    device).

	Resolution:
	    Logical device resolution is improved by adding
	    additional checking in cases where "LDEV 0" is
	    encountered.

	    Part of SSPUX410_032.

	Id = JAGae22283
	    SSEA agent cannot handle "/" (root) mountpoint when
	    performing a split-mirror backup.

	Resolution:
	    Mountpoint "/" (root) can be used in SSEA split-mirror
	    backup if following is satisfied:

	    1. Root mountpoint is located on an XP disk.
	    2. SSEA_PRESERVE_MOUNTPOINT environment variable is not
	      set to 1 on Backup host.
	    3. SSEA_BACKUP_ROOT_MOUNTPOINT environment variable is
	      set to 1 on Application side.

	    Note: Such backup cannot be used for Instant Recovery!
