Patch Name: PHNE_1372 Patch Description: NS/9000 dscopy fix to send buffer size for slow copies Problem was that doing a DSCOPY between a 9K and a 3K, it takes 10 times longer to copy a file from the 9K to the 3K than it does to transfer the same file from the 3K to the 9K. From 7.0 to 8.0, the message mode in transport was broken. Specifically an application such as DSCOPY running on TCP cannot adjust the burst count and send buffer size through calls to IPCCONTROL as in 7.0. The solution is to solve the problem at the application level (DSCOPY) by increasing the send buffer size.

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/PHNE_1372.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_1372.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/PHNE_1372/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_1372.text file to /system/PHNE_1372 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=PHNE_1372.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
