Patch Name: PHSS_26151 Patch Description: s700_800 11.00 OV ITO6.0X NetWare Agent Patch A.06.08 Creation Date: 02/02/28 Post Date: 02/03/05 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.00 s800: 11.00 Products: OpenView IT/Operations 6.0 Filesets: OVOPC-CLT-ENG.OVOPC-NW-CLT,fr=A.06.00,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Category Tags: defect_repair general_release Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHSS_26151 Symptoms: PHSS_26151: - SR: H555004659 During distribution, Control Agent will abend the NetWare server if machine is running on SP8 level. - SR: H555006189 When loading or unloading VPO Agent, NetWare server can abend or hang. - SR: H555006215 Problem was in Message Agent, not Vendor NLM. Abend may occur during agent startup, when Message Agent is loaded. - SR: 8606180891 The template default for the service name is not used. - SR: 8606181988 the event interceptor doesn't forward on "forward unmatched" if a "supress unmatched" condition is used in a second template - SR: 8606213476 The distribution to nodes may hang or fail. This is more likely to happen while distributing to Windows NT/2000 nodes rather than on UNIX nodes. On Windows NT/Windows 2000 nodes the control agent may produces a Dr. Watson error. - SR: B555009745 The template default of the object field of a monitor template is not used. - SR: B555010899 opcdista requests distribution data from a wrong manager if there is a secondary manager with the same short hostname than the appropriate primary manager. - SR: B555010948 Nested alternatives were not handled correctly in the pattern matching algorithm, e.g. the pattern '[a|b]c|d' was handled like '[a|b|d]c'. - SR: B555011594 The original message text of a logfile encapsulator message is wrong if <$LOGPATH> or <$LOGFILE> is used. PHSS_23739: - SR: H555003277 - Problems with allowed port range. - SR: 8606141434 - In case of an error the ITO Agent might hang during startup without terminating - SR: B555007709 - When executing large numbers of autoactions, some of them were staying in 'running' state. - SR: H555003466 - The opctrapi might abort with OpC30-104 Defect Description: PHSS_26151: - SR: H555004659 With SP8, a bug in mkdir() function has been introduced, which returns invalid error code if a directory that is trying to be created exists. Since code adhered to documentation, it would go into an infinite loop, causing an abend. In order to avoid running into this, and access() call has been implemented before mkdir(), so that if the directory exists, mkdir will not be called. - SR: H555006189 VPO used Critical section together with ThreadSwitchWithDelay(), which was obsoleted with SP 8. Code review was done and an alternative solution found. - SR: H555006215 An incorrect function has been called during queue reading, causing some invalid parameters to be passed. - SR: 8606213476 While the agent receives several RPC calls, like "Start Distribution", "Execute Action" or "Set Primary Manager" in parallel, it may happen that the call results in a conflict within the control agent, which causes the control agent to bring a Dr. Watson window. This conflict can also occur on UNIX but the control agent doesn't die, rather the RPC request may fail. With this version the RPC calls which could cause conflicts are serialised. - SR: B555010899 opcdista requests distribution data from a wrong manager if there is a secondary manager with the same short hostname than the appropriate primary manager because it searches the whole list in for each name it tries to match first the long then the short name. Instead it should try the long names for all systems first and only then try to match using the short names. - SR: B555010948 The grammar was changed to allow nested alternatives and process it correctly. for SR's not listed in this section please see the list of symptoms PHSS_23739: see the list of symptoms SR: H555006215 H555006189 H555004659 H555003466 H555003277 B555011594 B555010948

If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, include the patch_save_files option in the swinstall command above: -x patch_save_files=false WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. For future reference, the contents of the PHSS_26151.text file is available in the product readme: swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_26151.depot To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_26151.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: BEFORE LOADING THIS PATCH... o It provides bug fixes and enhancements for the VPO A.06.00 Management Server system. o DO NOT use this patch with older releases of ITO, for example versions A.05.00, A.05.11 or A.05.30 (A) Patch Installation Instructions ------------------------------- (A1) Install the patch, following the standard installation instructions. For backing up the system before installing a patch, you may use opc_backup(1m) NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT NO AGENT OF THE PLATFORM ADDRESSED BY THIS PATCH IS DISTRIBUTED (either from the VPO Administrator's GUI or from command line using inst.sh) WHILE RUNNING SWINSTALL. Don't be afraid of the '-x autoreboot=true' option above. There won't be a reboot due to this VPO patch. You can skip this option if you like. If you are running VPO in a MC/ServiceGuard installation: - Note, that only files on the shared disk volume at /var/opt/OV/share will be patched. Therefore install the patch on one cluster node while the shared disks are mounted. The server processes may be running during patch installation. - It is not necessary to install this patch on all cluster nodes. Even if the software inventory on the other cluster nodes will not be updated, the patched files will be available there when the shared disk is switched to them. NOTE: This patch must be installed on the VPO Management Server system, NOT on an VPO Managed Node directly. Changes will take effect on managed nodes by means of VPO Software Distribution (using 'Force Update' if there is already an agent installed on the managed node). See chapter 2 of the VPO Administrator's Reference manual for more information. (B) Patch Deinstallation Instructions --------------------------------- (B1) To deinstall the patch PHSS_26151 run swremove: NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT NO AGENT OF THE PLATFORM ADDRESSED BY THIS PATCH IS DISTRIBUTED (either from the ITO Administrator's GUI or from command line using inst.sh) WHILE RUNNING SWREMOVE. If you are running VPO in a MC/ServiceGuard installation make sure to mount the shared disks at the node and only at the node that had them mounted during patch installation. Otherwise restoration of the original files onto the shared disk will fail. # swremove PHSS_26151
