Patch Name:  PHCO_3927

Patch Description: s700 9.03 allows ISL> hpux restore . . . to work correctly

        Beginning with release 9.03, there is a problem in the HP-UX kernel
        loader.  The HP-UX kernel loader is the application invoked by ISL.
        It is responsible for booting the hp-ux kernel, the "restore"
        command, and a number of other functions.  For more information,
        refer to the hpux_700(1M) manual page.  This problem will appear
        when using any loader command that operates on a device other than
        the primary boot device.  The most common command of that type
        being the "restore" command.  The failure messages may vary.
        However, the messages will all imply that the target device cannot
        be accessed.

        The problem arises because the loader runs out of resources.  The
        resources allocated to the loader are fixed while requirements will
        vary from machine to machine and configuration to configuration.
        Normally there are sufficient resources to satisfy any command
        which operates on the primary boot device and console.  However,
        when the command requires access to a third device, even "ls" of a
        disk which is not the primary boot device, the loader runs out of
        resources.

        The original problem was caused by the following sequence:

                dd if=/usr/lib/uxbootlif.700 of=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=2k
                dd if=/dev/rdsk/c201d6s0 of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=64k

        After booting from the tape drive:

                ISL> hpux restore disk(scsi.6;0)

        The error message:

                cannot open destination disk(scsi.6;0)

        is displayed.

        This patch provides a copy of /usr/lib/uxbootlf.700.  It contains a
        loader which fixes the problem the above problem.  If you can boot
        from disk, there's no reason to install this new lif on to the boot
        area of your disk.  However, if you need to "ls" disks other
        than the boot device and have problems, you'll need to update your
        boot area using /etc/mkboot and this new uxbootlf.700.  If you
        normally use the "hpux restore" command, you'll need to make sure
        that this new uxbootlf.700 is used as the first file on the restore
        tape.

        The loader with the problem will announce itself, when booting a
        kernel, as revision 3.07.  This new loader announces itself as
        revision 3.08.  All loaders subsequent to revision 3.08 will also
        contain the fix.

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHCO_3927).

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/PHCO_3927.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHCO_3927.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/PHCO_3927/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHCO_3927.text file to /system/PHCO_3927 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=PHCO_3927.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
