Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHCO_27370

Symptoms:
	PHCO_27370:
	1. ( SR:8606266533 CR:JAGae30778 )
	   insf(1M) command does not create device file for port
	   3 of the device claimed by the asio0 driver.

	2. ( SR:8606161278 CR:JAGad30594 )
	   Some database applications show performance degradation
	   in the absence of the device file "/dev/async".

	3. ( SR:8606237422 CR:JAGae06462 )
	   lssf(1M) command gives "Too many open files" message,
	   when run on too many files.

	PHCO_21596:
	1) rmsf panics for interface cards. rmsf panics when
	hardware path(for -H) or special file(for -a/-k) of
	interface card is specified. The panic message is:
	Data Page Fault, Type 15&13 - panic: Conditional trap.
	-- 8606136041.
	2) insf gives error when specifying instance number greater
	than 255. The error message is
	"insf : valid value for instance must be between 0 and 255"
	-- 8606133730.
	3)Insf will output "Don't know how to handle driver ..."
	warning message, for drivers with no insf support
	 -- 5003394270.
	4) lssf does not recognize new tape densities. There are new
	tape densities like DLT_85937_52, DLT_85937_52c, and so on
	which are listed by lssf as unknown densities-- 8606104841.
	5)Insf core dumps on N-class with SEOS in the kernel
	 -- 8606135659.

	PHCO_20182:
	insf does not create USB device special files which
	may be found on the B1000, C3000, and J5000 systems.
	This patch also allows valid /dev/crt files to remain
	unchanged when device files are created for the
	framebuf pseudo driver.  Existing configuration files
	which contain references to /dev/crt device files are
	less likely to have to change when a graphics card is
	added or moved.

	PHCO_19032:
	Insf will output "Don't know how to handle driver ..."
	warning message, for drivers with no insf support.
	Some mux boards may have incorrect special files
	created, if the hardware failed the diagnostics
	routines.

	PHCO_18302:
	The man pages for insf(1M)/mksf(1M) do not reflect GSPdiag
	device files (for SAS console).
	On removing the patch PHCO_17090, the file
	/var/adm/sw/swagent.log will contain the text
	"/var/adm/sw/products/PHCO_18302/pfiles/postremove[38]:
	test: A ] character is missing".

	PHCO_17090:
	More than 999 PTS device files cannot be created due to
	exhaustion of name space(t[0-9,A-z][0-9,A-z][0-9,A-z]).

	PHCO_16632:
	Support to create SAS console devices files.
	Creating pts device files in base-64
	alphanumeric characters.
	Lssf does not report some of DLT tape densities properly.

	PHCO_15746:
	Insf does not know how to handle "fcp" driver

	PHCO_13571:
	Need support for IBM 3590 cartridge format

Defect Description:
	PHCO_27370:
	1. ( SR:8606266533 CR:JAGae30778 )
	   insf(1M) command was not supporting the creation of
	   device file for port 3.
	Resolution:
	   insf(1M) creates device file for port 3, if the driver
	   reports port 3 as the valid port.

	2. ( SR:8606161278 CR:JAGad30594 )
	   Historically some database applications communicate with
	   asyncdsk driver using the device file "/dev/async".
	   Currently insf(1M) creates only "/dev/asyncdsk" device
	   file, when asyncdsk driver is installed on the system.
	   Due to the absence of "/dev/async" device file, the
	   performance deteriorates.
	Resolution:
	   Device file "/dev/async" will be created for "asyncdsk"
	   driver in addition to device file "/dev/asyncdsk".

	3. ( SR:8606237422 CR:JAGae06462 )
	   lssf(1M) command was not closing opened file descriptor
	   before returning.
	Resolution:
	   Fixed file descriptor leak.

	PHCO_21596:
	1)rmsf panics for interface cards.
	Resolution: rmsf now checks the hardware type of the
	specified hardware path(for -H option) or special file
	name (for -a/-k) and if hardware type is DEVICE removes
	its special files and device definition from the system.
	Otherwise removes special file for leaf nodes and children
	only for non leaf nodes.

	2) insf gives error when specifying instance number greater
	than 255
	Resolution:The insf is modified check the instance number
	range between 0 and maximum integer value.

	3)Insf will output "Don't know how to handle driver ..."
	warning message, for drivers with no insf support.
	Resolution:These drivers are added to driver_entry_table[]
	which will have corresponding insf,lssf and mksf function
	pointers.

	4) The new tape densities are not included in the database
	maintained by lssf.
	Resolution:The database is updated with new tape
	densities.

	5)Insf core dumps on N-class with SEOS in the kernel
	because the varargs parameter to a function was not NULL
	terminated.
	Resolution: The parameter list is now NULL terminated.

	PHCO_20182:
	1)insf does not create USB device drivers
	2)If a graphics device is added or moved in a system,
	the relationship between /dev/crt special files and
	graphics devices is not preserved for those devices
	which are not changed.  This applies to systems
	which have more than one graphics device.
	3)Added support for superio 3.5 inch floppy driver.
	Resolution:
	USB device files are created as needed.
	/dev/crt device files that correspond to valid
	graphics devices are not changed.  This device
	files are created for the framebuf pseudo driver.
	superio floppy device files are created as needed.

	PHCO_19032:
	Insf gives error when there is no support for a driver
	Resolution:
	Insf no longer considers not knowing how to handle a driver
	an error. (Mksf still does). A driver may not need special
	file support in mksf.

	Insf ran out of file descriptors when opening diag file.
	Resolution:
	Fixed file descriptor leak. There was a return, before a
	close.

	PHCO_18302:
	The man pages for insf(1M)/mksf(1M) make no reference to
	GSPdiag device files. These device files are used by the
	SAS console.
	Fixed the postremove script.
	Resolution:
	Fixed the insf.1m man page to include GSPdiag device files.
	Fixed the shell test operator "[" syntax eror in the
	postremove script.

	PHCO_17090:
	PTS device files greater than
	999 are created in base64 encoding.

	PHCO_16632:
	Support for creatng device files for SAS console.
	Support to create pts device files in base-64
	alphanumeric characters.
	Lssf reported "unknown density" for
	some of the DLT densities in the table.

	PHCO_15746:
	The fcp and fcT1_cntl drivers did not have entries in
	look up table.So noop entries were created for these
	two drivers.

	PHCO_13571:
	Support for 3590 cartridge format in density
	table for both compressed and uncompressed.
	This would also support Fujitsu M2481 and
	M2483 tape devices.

Enhancement:
	No (superseded patches contained enhancements)
	PHCO_21596:
	        This is an enhancement done to recognize the
	        new tape densities.
	PHCO_20182:
		This is an enhancement support for superio
	        3.5 inch floppy driver.
