Symptoms:
        PHSS_6884:
        A Node Detail report will fail with a bad status even if
        some information is obtained.  This most often occurs
        because the MIBII subagent is not serving the IF table.  In
        this case, the following text will be written to $stdout:
        CVDetail:  Call to GetNodeDetails(systemX) failed --
           returned -1  (CVNNM-00761)

Defect Description:
        PHSS_6884:
        When all information is not available for any of the detail
        reports (cluster, node or package), no information is
        displayed and a non-zero status is output in the error
        message explaining the reason for the failure.  Though it
        can happen anytime, it is most common when the MIBII
        subagent has been started after ServiceGuard has added
        movable IPs to the IF table.  When this occurs, the MIBII
        subagent no longer serves the IF table and the IF status is
        unavailable for a node detail report.  To reproduce this
        problem, on a SG node in a cluster being monitored by
        ClusterView, kill and restart /usr/sbin/snmpdm.  Now on the
        ClusterView manager system, do a Node detail for that
        system.

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_6884

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

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHSS_6884.depot

        5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
            server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

                swcluster -i -b

            This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
            force all clients to be shut down.

            WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
                     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
                     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
                     serious problems.

            The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
            you must specify:

                alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
                source depot path    -  /tmp/PHSS_6884.depot

            To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
            "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
            from the Menubar.

        5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

                - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
                  the patch on the cluster server.

                - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
                  the patch on the cluster clients.  The cluster clients
                  must be shut down as described in step 5b.

        By default swinstall will archive the original software in
        /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_6884.  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_6884.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_6884.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
