ONCplus B.11.31.12 Release Notes (5900-1631, August 2011)
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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, execute 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: Starting with ONCplus B.11.31.12, the NFS client is enhanced to operate in the SRP
environment. So, when ONCplus B.11.31.12 is used in the SRP environment, it is recommended
not to revert to an earlier ONCplus version. Doing so may cause the NFS functionality to behave
unexpectedly in the SRP 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 earlier 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, B.11.31.07.01, B.11.31.08,
B.11.31.09, B.11.31.09.01, B.11.31.09.02, B.11.31.10, B.11.31.11) to /tmp/
ONCplus_B.11.31.depot.
