Patch Name: PHSS_27116 Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 ObAM Cumulative Patch Creation Date: 02/06/01 Post Date: 02/06/26 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.11 s800: 11.11 Products: N/A Filesets: SystemAdmin.OBAM-RUN,fr=B.11.11,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_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_27116 Symptoms: PHSS_27116: When samlog viewer is running in terminal mode, it consumes a lot of CPU (99%). PHSS_25476: An attempt made to drill down for EMS resources via SAM fails on L-class or N-class consoles and specifically on the C1064W terminal. It is not a problem when the user remotely logs on to the system or when using vt100 compatible terminals. In the "Add Monitoring Request" window of EMS, the normal procedure of pressing F1 + / or F2 + / keys will not select a resource. A message "Working..." is displayed in the progress message area for a while without displaying the next level of options for the selected resource. Defect Description: PHSS_27116: SR:8606228363 CR:JAGad97419 SAM provides a feature called samlog viewer to view the log files, and uses ObAM libraries to provide the user interface. When samlog viewer is invoked to view the log file in terminal mode, the samlog process consumes a lot of CPU.This is due to busy loop caused by uninitialized structure in the third party library, Dialog Manager, which is used by ObAM. The Dialog Manager has a main loop, which waits for some event to occur, and times out at regular intervals to call ObAM callbacks. The uninitialized structure in Dialog Manager is used to calculate the timeout period. This results in unexpectedvalues causing a busy loop, and hence consumes a lot of CPU. Resolution: In the Dialog Manager library, the structure has been properly initialized, and new libraries are used to build ObAM. PHSS_25476: SR:8606131444 CR:JAGad00594 Terminals of type C1064W, used as consoles for L-class and N-class servers do not support the PF1 function as in vt100 compatible terminals or one of the emulators such as dtterm or xterm. Thus the + / key operation in TUI for the EMS interface fails without displaying the next level of resources for the selected resource. Resolution: Now only the / keys can be used to select the resources.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHSS_27116 5. Run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_27116.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_27116. 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_27116.text file is available in the product readme: swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_27116.depot To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_27116.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: The EMS on-line help for selecting a resource has not been updated to reflect the change in the key sequence. A resource can now be selected using the / key instead of F1 + / or F2 + /. The updated on-line help will be available in the next release of EMS.
