Patch Name: PHSS_3169 Patch Description: s700 9.X Fixes for scopeux This patch corrects the following problems: - scopeux core dumps on systems with negative user ids. - fails when less than two days of data in logfile. - logical disk accesses show up as hpib-0 disk, causing confusion. - logs excessive RX32 errors: unable to synchronize with MI on MultiProcessor systems. - Global Disk Queue metric is too large. It includes processes waiting on other (non disk) IO. - Transaction response data is zero on 9.0 system. - Disk utilization negative when Predict diagnostic is run. - Duplicate timestamps may be logged by scopeux when CPU is high Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/9.X/PHSS_3169 Effective Date: 93/10/22 Patch Files: /usr/perf/bin/scopeux /usr/perf/bin/scope.start /usr/perf/bin/scope.stop /usr/perf/man/man1/scopeux.1 /usr/perf/newconfig/parm.default /usr/perf/bin/midaemon /usr/perf/lib/libtran.a /usr/perf/lib/libtran.sl /usr/perf/lib/libnums.sl /usr/perf/man/man1/midaemon.1 /usr/perf/man/man3/starttran.3 /usr/perf/ReleaseNotes/Midaemon SR#: D500163758 D500154096 D500163774 D500163782 5003139071 D500159012 D500155648 "what" string/timestamp: scopeux: scopeux A.09.25.38 10/12/93 HPUX 9.0 700 =*= libMI A.09.06 10/20/93 HPUX/MI-A scope.start:. scope.start A.09.06 10/07/93 =*= scope.stop: scope.stop A.09.06 10/07/93 =*= parm.default: parm A.09.06 10/07/93 =*= midaemon: midaemon A.09.09 10/18/93 HPUX/MI-A 700 =*= libtran.a: librx A.09.01 08/23/93 HPUX/MI-A 700 libtran.sl: librx A.09.01 08/23/93 HPUX/MI-A 700 libnums.sl: libnums.sl B.09.00 10/22/93 700 libMI A.09.06 10/20/93 HPUX/MI-A "sum" output: 52737 1112 scopeux 50381 7 scope.start 47340 5 scope.stop 25063 3 scopeux.1 28459 4 parm.default 6006 456 midaemon 31709 5 libtran.a 10894 24 libtran.sl 46830 1592 libnums.sl 933 62 midaemon.1 31953 8 starttran.3 Dependencies: None Supersedes: scopeux A.09.16 and previous versions from PerfView and PCS Product Tapes.

To install this patch do the following: 0) Stop scopeux and midaemon if they are running on the systesm. 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_3169.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHSS_3169.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/PHSS_3169/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHSS_3169.text file to /system/PHSS_3169 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=PHSS_3169.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048 @(#) SCOPE ReleaseNotes for HP-UX 9.0 First released on Patch PHSS_3169 Oct 22, 1993
