Defect Description:
	PHSS_29870:
	Id = JAGae98219  SR:8606337193

	    Last message from Disk Agent is sometimes lost. This
	    causes Disk Agent's status reported as "Failed".

	Resolution:
	    New OmniBack II enviroment variable:
	      OB2VBDASLEEPBEFORECLOSE
	    is introduced.
	    Its default value is 0. Setting it to a positive
	    number, in /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc file, it specifies
	    number of seconds to pass before Disk Agent completes
	    after sending the last block of data.
	    Sleep time insignificantly influences backup
	    performance.

	    Part of SSPUX350_082.

	PHSS_25004:
	Id = HSLco27372
	    ACL's of softlinks to a non-JFS 3.3 volumes do not
	    exist. Therefore Omniback should not attempt to back
	    them up.

	Resolution:
	    Backup Disk Agent properly checks the type of target
	    filename.

	Id = HSLco28234
	    OmniBack II reports an error message for each softlink
	    on JFS filesystem that points to a non-existing file.

	Resolution:
	    Error message for softlinks to non-existing files is
	    ignored.

	    Part of SSPUX350_049.

	Id = HSLco29649
	    Disk Agent is not able to get ACL's for a subdirectory

	Id = HSLco29390
	    When "-overwrite" option is not used for restore,
	    Volume Restore Disk Agent tries to set ACL's to an

	    Part of SSPUX350_054.

	Id = HSLco29661
	    OmniBack II reports an error if there are softlinks from
	    JSF 3.3 to HFS filesystem.

	    Disk Agent ignores error in case of softlinks.

	Id = HSLco30587
	    In case that JFS 3.3 filesystem contains LOFS, Disk
	    Agent is not able to get ACL's for such files because
	    they do not exist.

	Resolution:
	    Disk Agent ignores error in case of LOFS.

	PHSS_23695:
	Id = NSMbb39754
	    Objects are sent to wrong buffer after lstat() function
	    failure.

	Resolution:
	    Target buffer is reset to proper value after lstat()
	    function failure.

	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 = NSMex04088
	    OmniBack's OmniStorage integration does not work with
	    OmniStorage 3.11.

	Resolution:

	Id = NSMex04108
	    Restore sessions of media created with OmniBack II 2.10
	    or older sometimes fail due to Disk Agent header changes
	    introduced with newer versions of OmniBack II.

	Resolution:
	    Raw Restore Disk Agent is changed in order to work
	    properly with old Disk Agent headers as well.

	    Part of SSPUX350_029.

	Id = NSMex04279
	    Disk Agent incorrectly reports that some volumes are
	    READONLY.

	Id = NSMex04222
	    Errno on HP-UX systems is not set back to 0 after a
	    failure on some of the files being backed up.

	Resolution:
	    Errno is properly reset to 0.

	    Part of SSPUX350_035.

	PHSS_22910:
	Id = NSMex03889
	    Backup of large files (>2GB) is not possible after the
	    installation of PHSS_22372.

	Resolution:
	    Fix is implemented in Disk Agent binaries.

	PHSS_22371:
	Id = HSLco21325
	    JFS 3.3 allows backing up complete ACL list (13
	    entries). Backup Disk Agent backs up only four
	    entries (file permissions and owner).

	    complete ACL list for files and directories.

	Id = NSMex03397
	    When restoring files to nfs mount point on Sun Solaris
	    system, files' time attributes are not restored.

	    backed up.

	Id = NSMex03496
	    OmniBack II A.03.50 binaries are built for Linux 5.x.

	    Binaries built for Linux 6.x added to Disk Agent
	    package.

	Id = HSLco22133
	    Certification of Disk Agent on Sun Solaris 8.

	Resolution:
	    Disk Agent can be installed and used on Sun Solaris 8
	    client systems. CORE patch PHSS_22434/PHSS_22435 (or
	    later) has to be installed on Installation Server
	    system. NOTE: Mount points with tmpfs filesystem
	    cannot be backed up.

	Id = NSMbb38094
	    Mount options for a filesystem are not parsed
	    correctly.

	Resolution:
	    Filesystem mount options parsing is improved.

Installation Instructions:
	Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
	restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. 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_29870

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_29870.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_29870.  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_29870.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_29870.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	PHSS_29870:
	NOTE!
	Patch has to be installed on the Installation Server host.

	The Disk Agent packets must be redistributed to the Cell
	Manager system and client systems afterwards to get the
	fixes into effect.


	NOTE!
	Instructions for manual installation of non HP-UX patches:

	1. Rename the patch:

	   mv PHSS_<number> PHSS_<number>.shar

	2. Then unshar the patch:

	   sh PHSS_<number>.shar.

	During unshar operation an error message will occur due to
	using non HP-UX platform for unshar although everything
	will be done. When the patch is unshared, there will be
	PHSS_<number>.depot and PHSS_<number>.text.

	3. Depot file is a tar package, which should be untared:

	   tar -xvf PHSS_<number>.depot

	There is whole directory structure stored in the package,
	so this tree structure will be created under current
	directory.

	4. Create a temporary directory /tmp/omni_tmp and copy
	appropriate packet.Z from expanded depot file.
	Use packet.Z from
	OMNI-OTHUX-P/opt/omni/databases/vendor/da/<OS_TYPE>/A.03.50
	directory, where "OS_TYPE" is one of:

	  dec/alpha/osf1-4, gpl/i386/linux, ibm/rs6000/aix-42,
	  ncr/i386/mp-ras, sco/i386/sco_sv, sco/i386/unixware,
	  sequent/i386/dynix, sgi/mips/irix-62, siemens/r400/sinix,
	  sun/sparc/solaris-26, sun/sparc/sunos.

	5. In the next step one has to copy utils.tar package from
	the OmniBack II installation CD to a temporary directory
	on the non HP-UX machine (for example: /tmp/omni_tmp).
	The utils.tar file can be found on the installation CD
	on the following location:

	/OMNIBACK-II/OMNI-CORE-IS/opt/omni/databases/utils/ \
	<OS_TYPE>/utils.tar

	6. Un-tar the utils.tar package and find the omni_rinst.sh
	installation script. Install the patch locally on the
	non-HP-UX client using this script:

	./omni_rinst.sh <tempdir>/packet.Z <package> <version> \
	 <OS_TYPE> /usr/omni <Cell Server>

	where:
	 <tempdir> - temporary directory where the packet.Z is
	    stored (for example /tmp/omni_tmp)
	 <package> - name of the component (DA or Da)
	 <Cell Server> - one can see this parameter in the
	    /usr/omni/config/cell/cell_server file. Be careful to
	    set the same name as written in cell_server file.

	Following the procedure written above the patch should be
	successfully installed.


	NOTE!
	Disk Agent package contains binaries for both Linux 5.x
	and Linux 6.x. Binaries for Linux 6.x have ".6"
	extension and have to be renamed after redistribution of
	binaries is completed. For example (Linux 6.x):

	   "mv vbda.6 vbda"

	No action is required on Linux 5.x systems.
