Patch Name:  PHSS_9514

Patch Description: s700_800 10.10-20 HP VUE 3.0 BMS 5.X fileset

Creation Date: 97/01/10

Post Date:  97/01/16

Repost: 97/02/13
        The checkinstall script has been modified to determine if
        the installation environment requires the patch.  The patch
        is not required if the SB_BMSFramework.SB-BMS fileset
        is present.

        PHSS_9514: OTHER
                Fix of severe VUE performance problem under
                certain circumstances

Path Name:  /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_9514

Symptoms:
        PHSS_9514:
        When starting VUE, there may be long delays (up to
        one minute) for the BMS to become active and for
        VUE to respond after login.

        When 'logger' is used to log a message thru 'syslogd',
        child processes are forked and never die ...

        syslogd child processes  may be stuck forever because
        SIGALRM is masked

        PHSS_7326:
        When 'logger' is used to log a message thru 'syslogd',
        child processes are forked and never die ...

        syslogd child processes  may be stuck forever because
        SIGALRM is masked

Defect Description:
        PHSS_9514:
        BMS has a problem in the low level wusr code that causes
        a function to continually check the mount table for an
        invalid mount point.

        Some customers may experience no problems others will
        experience major time delays, depending on how the
        NIS/DNS naming service is configured.  If unknown
        hostnames are rejected at the local level, no delay
        occurs.  If unknown hostname resolution is promoted
        to machines with a wider scope in the network, delays
        will occur.  The higher the promotion in hostname
        resolution results in longer delays.

        PHSS_7326:
        Contiuus requires that symlinks be ignored.

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_9514

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

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHSS_9514.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_9514.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_9514.  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_9514.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_9514.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
        If the system is HP-UX 10.10 _AND_ has the patch PHSS_7326
        installed, that patch MUST be removed prior to installation
        of PHSS_9514.

        If SoftBench is installed on the system, DO NOT install
        this patch.  Rather, upgrade SoftBench to the latest
        release and apply any Periodic SoftBench patches for
        that release.  Any SoftBench Patches that upgrade the
        SoftBench BMS will automatically upgrade the VUE BMS.
