OE UPDATE
HP-UX 11i Test Procedures
Explanation:
This is due to the fact that several product deliver files to the /usr/sbin/olrad.d directory. These
individual products are managing this directory. They should not be doing this. This will not cause
any error during the update. We are still trying to find which of the many products that deliveries
to this directory are causing this error.

Headline:
When upgrading from 11.0 to 11.i MCOE, the following message appears in the swagent.log:
Defect or Error Messages:
* [20255] Running "unconfigure" script for fileset
"100BT-GSC-RUN.100BT-RUN".
/dev/diag/lan* not found
/dev/diag/ether* not found
Explanation:
This defect is due to the configure and unconfigure scripts not working in the 11.00 and 10.20
versions of the HSC/GSC 100BT driver. The configure scripts of this driver are supposed to create
some files in the /dev/diag directory, but they don’t do that. During an update the unconfigure
script is called and this checks for the existence of these files and does not find them. This problem
will be fixed at the next release of the product for 10.20 and 11.0. This problem has no effect on
the 11.0 to 11i upgrade.
