Alarms do not trigger commands or mail Defect Description: PHSS_8929: 1. Patterns (for alarm filtering) are not being recognized when an alarm is triggered and the notification action has been set to 'Log to file'. This effectively means that nothing gets logged to the file. 2. Preinstall not unlocking Audit account. 3. When auditing is started from the administration screen, the audit daemon does not direct audit data to the multi-user audit directories. 4. Default audit crontab file and crontab file created with admin interface are being created with different sensitivity levels. 5. Audit rollover cron job fails if output file not writable. 6. If a user specifies an incorrectly formatted command to be executed as part of the alarm protection of notifi- cation actions, no warning is given to the user.

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_8929 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_8929.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_8929.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_8929. 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_8929.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_8929.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: Disregard the above installation instructions. They are automatically generated and are not specific to the VirtualVault environment. The correct procedure for installing the Audit Subsystem Patch (PHSS_8929) is as follows : 1. Backup your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root; open an xterm window at the SYSTEM level. 3. Copy the patch to the /patches directory. Create /patches using: mkdir -p /patches 4. Move to the /patches directory and unshar the patch: cd /patches sh PHSS_8929 5. Run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x match_target=true -s /patches/PHSS_8929.depot
