ONCplus B.11.31.07.01 Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3

Reverting to a Previous Version of ONCplus
You cannot remove the current version of ONCplus with the swremove command. However,
you can revert to the previous version of ONCplus. The following section describes how to revert
to the previous version of ONCplus.
WARNING! Directory related operations on an NFS client with ONCplus B.11.31.06 or B.11.31.07
versions installed along with mounted file systems with read/write permissions that are greater
than 8192 bytes in size may result in system panic or data corruption. If your system has ONCplus
B.11.31.06 or B.11.31.07 version installed, HP recommends that you install ONCplus B.11.31.07.01
version.
WARNING! Under certain circumstances, enabling the nfs2_srv_read_copyavoid or
nfs3_srv_read_copyavoid tunable may cause the following problems:
• Memory corruption with the message block getting corrupted
• Data corruption during READ, when the nfs3_bsize tunable value is greater than 64 KB
If your system has ONCplus B.11.31.02 or B.11.31.03 or B.11.31.04 or B.11.31.05 or B.11.31.06
version installed, HP recommends that you install ONCplus B.11.31.07 or a later version
WARNING! Under certain circumstances, ONCplus B.11.31.03 and B.11.31.04 may cause a
panic situation (QXCR1000847469). If your system has either ONCplus B.11.31.03 or B.11.31.04
installed, HP recommends that you install ONCplus B.11.31.06.
WARNING! ONCplus B.11.31.02 may cause a boot panic situation if you are installing on an
HP 9000 rp3410 or rp3440 system with the September 2007 release of HP-UX already installed.
If your system has this configuration, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you install the March
2008 release of HP-UX, which includes ONCplus B.11.31.02, or install ONCplus B.11.31.06. You
can use the "model" command to print the hardware model information. The output of the
"model" command on an HP 9000 rp3440 system is:
9000/800/rp3440
To determine if you have the September 2007 release of HP-UX installed, issue the command:
swlist -l bundle HPUX11i-*
The output includes either "B.11.31" or "B.11.31.yymm", where yymm identifies the year and
month of the HP-UX release that is installed. For example, if you have the HP-UX Mission Critical
Operating Environment and the September 2007 release of HP-UX installed, the output would
include:
HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.31.0709 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment
NOTE: ONCplus B.11.31.05 includes the fix for QXCR1000589225 which requires libc patch
PHCO_38048 to be installed in the following circumstances:
• the "retrans" option is set in the /etc/resolv.conf file
• there is a "dns" entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file (i.e. the ip6.arpa domain is used to
perform reverse IPv6 lookups) The libc patch is included with ONCplus beginning with
version B.11.31.06 and will not require a separate patch installation.
To revert to a previous version of ONCplus, follow these steps:
1. Download the desired ONCplus depot from the ONCplus web page http://software.hp.com,
or from the media you originally used to install your system.
2. Login as root.
3. Copy the downloaded ONCplus version of the depot (B.11.31_LR, B.11.31.01, B.11.31.02,
B.11.31.03, B.11.31.04, B.11.31.05, B.11.31.06, B.11.31.07) to /tmp/ONCplus_B.11.31.depot.
