Patch Name: PHSS_8278 Patch Description: s700_800 10.01-10 IT/Operations HP-UX 10.20 agent support Creation Date: 96/09/28 Post Date: 96/11/14 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.01 10.10 s800: 10.01 10.10 Products: ITO 3.00 Filesets: OVOPC-CLT.OVOPC-UX10-CLT,r=A.03.00 Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_8278 Symptoms: PHSS_8278: ITO A.03.00 does not support HP-UX 10.20 for the ITO intelligent agent on managed nodes. Defect Description: PHSS_8278: This patch adds offical support for HP-UX 10.20 for a previously installed ITO A.03.00 management server. It contains a detailed description what this support means in terms of supported and unsupported features. In general ITO does not support features that are special for a higher version than the lowest version that is supported by ITO, both for management server and agent. The reason for this is that all HP-UX 10.x releases are covered by one set of binaries of the ITO intelligent agent build on HP-UX 10.01. Especially the following features specific to HP-UX 10.20 are not supported: o Secure Internet Services (SIS) Secure Internet Services (SIS) is a replacement for programs like ftp, remsh, rcp, rlogin and telnet and uses Kerberos V5 authentication protocol instead of password inquiries. SIS must not be installed on neither an ITO management server nor agent otherwise the agent installation will not work anymore. o Big files HP-UX 10.20 supports files up to 128GB in size. The prior limit was 2GB. ITO will not create a big file by its own and it will return a error if it must open a big file. In case you really have to monitor a big logfile use a program that is aware of the new big file APIs, reads the big file and writes a normal-size logfile with the deltas that can be monitored by ITO. Take care that you do not specify a big file as a logfile for the ITO logfile encapsulation in a template. Also programs used to generate a logfile in a template should not generate a big file. A big logfile must not be used for testing templates on the server, too. o Big user ids and group ids HP-UX 10.20 will support user and group IDs ranging from 0 (root) to a maximum of MAXINT-1 ((2^31)-2). Don't give a big uid to user opc_op on neither a HP-UX 10.20 server nor a 10.20 managed node. In case you install files in ITO filetrees with a user with a big uid assigned the user assignment of the file will be lost if you a) backup your ITO installation with opc_backup (using tar) b) distribute to ITO managed nodes with other operating systems that do not support big uids. This is the case for actions, commands and monitors deposited in /var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/customer/... c) upload data with opccfgupld if the upload tree contains files with big uids. o Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) HP-UX 10.20 delivers a DHCP server and client program that allow to centrally manage IP addresses and request them dynamically at system startup. ITO does not support the usage of DHCP on neither management server nor managed nodes. IP addresses must be configured statically. o Sendmail version 8.7 HP-UX 10.20 includes Sendmail version 8.7. With this version of Sendmail the frozen configuration files and all commands and options related to that feature are obsolete and not supported anymore. The ITO templates "Mailqueue (10.x HP-UX)" and "Mailqueue (HP-UX)" have a condition dealing with frozen files. That condition ("No frozen configuration file") is superfluous for HP-UX 10.20 managed nodes.

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_8278 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_8278.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_8278.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. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_8278. 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_8278.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_8278.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
