Patch Name:  PHSS_3039

Patch Description: s700 8-9.X HP OmniBack A.03.00 patch for nbsbackup

This patch fixes the following problem with HP OmniBack A.03.00:

  If the following pattern:

         %[digit][sfgGohideEcb]
         (for example:%49, %48.49s or %48.49g)

  is contained:

  o   in the hostname of the '-da_host' or '-ma_host' option of nbsbackup
  o   or in a statement of the worklist
  o   or in the label of the '-label' option of nbsbackup
  o   or in the name of a file or directory due for backup and the
      backup is performed with '-list_all' option
  o   or in the name of a directory due for backup and the backup is
      performed with '-list_dir' option

  the nbsbackup command does not work correctly.

  Instead of the "%[digit][sfgGohideEcb]" pattern nbsbackup writes some
  bad text (like "0.000000"). In the worst case nbsbackup produces a coredump.

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHSS_3039).

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update
   a system).
2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change
   Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item".
3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination"
   window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or
   "Select Item".
4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHSS_3039.updt"

you move the PHSS_3039.text file to /system/PHSS_3039 to be retained for

If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape

following will create a copy of the patch that update can read:
dd if=PHSS_3039.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
