Patch Name: PHKL_1021 Patch Description: Correctly and automatically return swap to file system. File system swap space could be reserved without being allocated, in which case it was not specificaly tagged as being used. However, the return swap to file system functionality only returned tagged space. Also, the code path to return swap was not executed by syncer calling tsync() on stand-alone systems. This patch makes the VM system return both tagged and untagged space, and executes the necessary code path for all types of sync'ing. This is very similar to PHKL_0804. The difference is the automatic return of swap on stand alone systems, which this patch handles and PHKL_0804 did not handle.

To install this patch do the following: 1) Run the update program (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/PHKL_1021.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHKL_1021.updt has been placed). Note: You must enter the complete path name. 5) Press "Done". 6) From here on follow the standard directions for update. The customized script that update runs will move the original software to /system/PHKL_1021/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHKL_1021.text file to /system/PHKL_1021 to be retained for future reference. If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive. As an example the following will create a copy of the patch that update can read: dd if=PHKL_1021.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
