Patch Name: PHNE_3363 Patch Description: s700 8.X SNAplus clients lose contact with remote servers Fixes three problems: (1) Clients lose connection with server because UDP broadcasts are not sent every 5 minutes. (2) Clients lose connection with server because client or server bsdslim process aborts. ps -ef shows no bsdslim process, although SNAplus is running in client-server mode. (3) Provides a new option in the /usr/lib/sna/sna.ini file for bsdslim when "lan0" is not the LAN interface being used on a system. To specify that SNAplus should use a LAN interface other than lan0 to obtain the subnet mask, add a field to the /usr/lib/sna/sna.ini file. The field follows the "SLIM BSD" entry, and simply identifies the LAN interface that should be used. For example, SLIM BSD lan1 Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/8.X/PHNE_3363 Effective Date: 931110 OS Release: 8.05 8.07 Reboot Required: No Patch Files: bsdslim snapdaemon SR#: 5000701755 "what" string/timestamp: bsdslim: A.B8.02.017 SNAplus BSD Slim A.B8.02.012 SNAplus Trace Library snapdaemon: A.B8.02.013 SNAplus Daemon Program A.B8.02.012 SNAplus Trace Library "sum" output: 18932 344 bsdslim 49401 160 snapdaemon Dependencies: SNAplus A.B8.02 Supersedes: PHNE_3106 Patch Package Size: 287 Kbytes 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.

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_3363.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_3363.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_3363/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_3363.text file to /system/PHNE_3363 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_3363.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
