Patch Name: PHCO_29833 Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 killall(1M) cumulative patch Creation Date: 03/12/11 Post Date: 04/01/29 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.11 s800: 11.11 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.UX-CORE,fr=B.11.11,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No (superseded patches were critical) PHCO_28319: HANG Category Tags: defect_repair general_release critical halts_system Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHCO_29833 Symptoms: PHCO_29833: ( SR:8606333350 CR:JAGae94439 ) icodd daemon respawns too rapidly during shutdown. ( SR:8606331556 CR:JAGae92676 ) killall script does not retain the ppud (pay-per_use) daemon. PHCO_28319: ( SR:8606217859 CR:JAGad87009 ) shutdown command is blocked when the iSCSI product is installed. Defect Description: PHCO_29833: ( SR:8606333350 CR:JAGae94439 ) On Machines where iCOD package is installed, 'icodd' is listed as a respawn process in the /etc/inittab file. During shutdown killall was killing 'cimserverd' and 'icodd',due to which init(1M) was trying to spawn 'icodd' again and again leading to the error message that 'icodd' is respawning too rapidly. Resolution: The killall script is modified to prevent it from killing the 'icodd' and 'cimserverd' daemons. ( SR:8606331556 CR:JAGae92676 ) 'ppud' is listed as a respawn process in the /etc/inittab file. During shutdown killall was killing 'ppud' due to which init(1M) was trying to spawn 'ppud' again and again leading to the error message that 'ppud' is respawning too rapidly. Resolution: The killall script is modified to prevent it from killing the 'ppud' daemon. PHCO_28319: ( SR:8606217859 CR:JAGad87009 ) During shutdown the /sbin/umountall is unable to determine the status of the file system as the killall script would have killed the iSCSI daemons that are necessary to access the devices. The solution is to modify the killall script to avoid it to kill the iSCSI daemons "iswd","iradd" and "iscsi_resolvd". Resolution: The killall script is modified to prevent it from killing the iSCSI daemons.
