Patch Name: PHSS_27643 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 OV NNM6.2 Reports fail if ifAlias has quotes Creation Date: 02/08/09 Post Date: 02/08/13 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: OpenView Network Node Manager 6.2 Filesets: OVNNMgr.OVNNM-RUN,B.06.20.00 OVNNMgr.OVRPT-RUN,B.06.20.00 OVPlatform.OVEVENT-MIN,B.06.20.00 OVPlatform.OVMIN,B.06.20.00 OVPlatform.OVWIN,B.06.20.00 OVPlatformMan.OVEVENTMIN-MAN,B.06.20.00 OVPlatformMan.OVWIN-MAN,B.06.20.00 Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_27643 Symptoms: PHSS_27643: Reports do not get generated, if double quotes exist in ifAlias value, for interfaces. PHSS_27640: The map database may contain invalid symbols and submaps. A symbol becomes invalid if its map object and corresponding object in the object database are not present. A submap becomes invalid if its parent map object and the associated object in the object database do not exist. Invalid symbols and submaps are not represented in maps by ovw, but they lie unused in the map database. PHSS_27625: 1.nodeView.ovpl is not displaying the created graphics if an interface label has the special and/or non-printable characters that must be escaped in XML. These characters include: & ' " < >. These special characters can come from the interface alias, name or description. 2.On the content pane of 'View Scheduled Reports', there is a table consisting of 'Report', 'Status', and 'Schedule'. Contents of the table look good when the window is opened. However, once the Reload,Stop or Pause button is clicked, the contents of 'Schedule' column('daily' or 'month-to-date') is garbled. PHSS_27623: A router is dragged and placed on a location symbol. Selecting an event in xnmevents corresponding to the same router leads to ovw core dump. PHSS_27616: Memory leak in xnmevents when it runs with filterByMap and filterByMapManaged options. PHSS_27614: ovactiond man page not clear. PHSS_27571: Incorrect behaviour of xnmloadmib when MIBs were loaded with the -trapType option , under the Japanese locale. Defect Description: PHSS_27643: Double quotes in the ifAlias value for interfaces were not handled in the report generation code. Resolution: The code has been modified to handle double quotes in the ifAlias value. PHSS_27640: The deletion of a symbol (or a submap) involves removing the symbol (or submap) information, the map object and the object in the object database. These three operations do not happen as one single atomic operation. Invalid symbols and submaps are left behind if ovw aborts after the deletion of the map object and the object in the object database, but before the removal of the symbol (or submap) information. Resolution: The verbose option of ovw -mapcount is enhanced to do a listing of invalid symbols and submaps. A new option '-c' is provided with ovw -mapcount to clean such invalid symbols and submaps. PHSS_27625: 1.OVdrawNodes.pm was failing to encode XML-special characters: <>'&". This was causing XML parsing errors. 2.This problem occurs when the server and the browser are running in different locales. Resolution: 1.Code has been changed in OVdrawNodes.pm to encode XML special and non-printable characters. 2.Code is implemented for the server and the browser to communicate with the UTF8 codeset. PHSS_27623: submap is not removed from the router symbol's submap list. Selecting an event in xnmevents corresponding to the same router causes NULL pointer access when previous submap is dereferenced for the router symbol. Resolution: ovw is modified to check for NULL pointer dereferencing before accessing any submap for the symbol's submap list. PHSS_27616: Memory allocated to a particular pointer was not freed properly. Resolution: The allocated memory is now freed properly, at appropriate position. PHSS_27614: ovactiond man page does not clearly explain what happens in the case of multiple events occuring simultaneously. Resolution: The man page is updated with the information about ovactiond behaviour in the case of multiple events occuring simultaneously. PHSS_27571: Loading of MIBs with the -trapType option was incorrectly handled by xnmloadmib under the Japanese locale. Resolution: Modified xnmloadmib to load the MIBs with the -trapType option under the Japanese locale.

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_27643 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_27643.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_27643. 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_27643.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_27643.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: WARNING: This patch should not be loaded unless the last consolidated patch PHSS_27332 has been loaded. To check if this patch is on your system use the following command: swlist -l product -l fileset PHSS_27332 If swlist cannot find the patch, then you will need to obtain the PHSS_27332 patch and load it before loading this patch. ======================================================== BEFORE LOADING THIS PATCH... If there are any ovw sessions running on either the Management Station or on any Management Consoles, these sessions need to be closed. The "ovstop" command should then be executed. WARNING : the patch will not install if any Network Node Manager processes are detected. BACKUP ALL OpenView DIRECTORIES TO TAPE. This pre-caution ensures that if you have problems after installing the patch, you will be able to restore your current state from tape. NOTE : ovstart is NOT executed after the patch is loaded You will need to manually run ovstart. Also, in order to keep a history of the patches installed on your system the post-install script will attempt to copy this .text file to /usr/OV/ReleaseNotes/patches (or /opt/OV/ReleaseNotes/patches). Please make sure this file is in /tmp before installation. ========================================================
