Patch Name: PHNE_30095 Patch Description: s700_800 11.23 NIS/NIS+ cumulative patch Creation Date: 04/02/26 Post Date: 04/03/08 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.23 s800: 11.23 Products: NFS B.11.23 Filesets: NFS.NFS-ENG-A-MAN,fr=B.11.23,fa=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA/PA,v=HP NFS.NIS2-CLIENT,fr=B.11.23,fa=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA,v=HP NFS.NIS2-SERVER,fr=B.11.23,fa=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA,v=HP NFS.NISPLUS2-CORE,fr=B.11.23,fa=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: No Category Tags: defect_repair general_release Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHNE_30095 Symptoms: PHNE_30095: ( SR:8606347801 CR:JAGaf08623 ) Problem with rpc.ypupdated. PHNE_30091: ( SR:8606317536 CR:JAGae80097 ) The performance level of connection-oriented RPC servers is being reduced by network delays. ( SR:8606337943 CR:JAGae98946 ) NIS+ commands and applications fail with the error message "Error in RPC subsystem". Defect Description: PHNE_30095: ( SR:8606347801 CR:JAGaf08623 ) The rpc.ypupdated code does not function properly. Resolution: The rpc.ypupdated code has been modified to fix the problem. PHNE_30091: ( SR:8606317536 CR:JAGae80097 ) Connection-oriented RPC packets are not being decoded effectively during network delays. Resolution: The non-blocking I/O feature is being provided to improve the performance of connection-oriented RPC servers during network delays. ( SR:8606337943 CR:JAGae98946 ) If "Error in RPC subsystem" messages are displayed or logged for NIS+ related commands or applications that use NIS+ API's, a possible cause is that the default maximum RPC record size for NIS+ (9000 bytes) is too small. Examples of NIS+ commands that could be affected are nistbladm, nisgrpadm, and nisaddent. NIS+ API's that could be affected include nis_add() and nis_modify(). Resolution: Added the rpc.nisd -z option to set the maximum record size needed by the application. Some experimentation may be required to determine the optimal value for a particular application. The NIS+ server needs to be restarted after changing this value for it to take effect. Please see the rpc.nisd man page for details on using the -z option.
