Patch Name: PHSS_30198 Patch Description: s700_800 11.X OV ITO7.1X Comm Agt HPUX 11 PA A.07.14 Creation Date: 04/01/19 Post Date: 04/01/21 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.00 11.11 s800: 11.00 11.11 Products: OpenView Operations 7.1 Filesets: OVOPC-CLT.OVOPC-UX11-CLT,fr=A.07.10,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP OVOPC-CLT.OVOPC-UX11-CLT,fr=A.07.10,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHSS_30198: ABORT Category Tags: defect_repair general_release critical halts_system Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHSS_30198 Symptoms: PHSS_30198: Change Request: B555024868 Coda might abort with signal 11 on HPUX 11 PA systems, if many CODA templates are assigned and the agent system has more than one CPU. Change Request: H555011029 The Monitor Agent aborts on multiCPU systems Change Request: B555021160 Installing an OVO A.07.xx agent on top of an installed HPOvLcore version 2 will break the HPOvLcore installation. The OVO agent comes with an BBC Local Location Broker (LLB) '/opt/OV/bin/llbserver' which does not coexist with the new version 2 location broker ovbbccb. PHSS_29082: Change Request: B555016256 When restricting ports for CODA clients on Windows systems according to the Firewall guide (v 2, page 25) these ports are not released immediately after being used (OS behavior). Therefore no further connections possible. Change Request: B555013635 Many instances of llbserver can run in parallel on the same port. Change Request: B555012657 llbserver is now enhanced. It is possible to print out a list of applications registered with llbserver by running 'llbserver -query'. With 'llbserver -ping' one can check if llbserver is running. Defect Description: PHSS_30198: Change Request: B555024868 The abort was caused by a problem in the Standard Template Library (STL). This has been fixed by using additional compiler options for STL. Change Request: H555011029 Both opcmona and coda are multithreaded and they both use BBC library. The potential for problems is often not caught until the code is placed under heavy load on a multiprocessor machine. Calls such as gmtime,readdir,localtime... can corrupt the process' heap and cause crashes in unrelated areas. Change Request: B555021160 Only one instance of BBC Local Location Broker can run on the system. Future technology location/communication broker would take over tasks of BBC LLB. In case the new location/communication broker is installed on the system, 'llbserver' will be saved to 'llbserver.bak' and not started by the control agent. 'opcagt -status' will not report the status of 'llbserver'. PHSS_29082: Change Request: B555016256 Client ports are not released immediately after being used. Resolution: Client port restrictions are not used for local connections. Change Request: B555013635 Many instances of llbserver can run in parallel on the same port. Now llbserver checks whether another instance is already running on configured port. Change Request: B555012657 llbserver is now enhanced. It is possible to print out a list of applications registered with llbserver by running 'llbserver -query'. With 'llbserver -ping' one can check if llbserver is running.

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_30198 5. Run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_30198.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_30198. 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_30198.text file is available in the product readme: swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_30198.depot To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_30198.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: BEFORE LOADING THIS PATCH... (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. 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. NOTE: The VPO Agent consists of several components that are patched individually. This patch updates only the Data Communication component. Therefore the software distribution will tell, that the agent software is updated to A.07.10, not to A.07.14. Also the version of the ITOAgent bundle will still be A.07.10. You can verify the installed version of the components on the agent system using opcragt -agent_version. For example: opcragt -agent_version hpbbln8 Node hpbbln8.bbn.hp.com: OPC_INSTALLED_VERSION = A.07.12 PERF_INSTALLED_VERSION = A.07.10 COMM_INSTALLED_VERSION = 2.6.5.0 Done. (B) Patch Deinstallation Instructions --------------------------------- (B1) To deinstall the patch PHSS_30198 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. # swremove PHSS_30198
