For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/sd Table 2 Defects fixed in March 2010 Web Release QXCR1000766167 When multiple filesets supersede the same fileset, a WARNING is issued that the conflicting superseding filesets will not be used.

Table 5 Defects fixed in September 2008 release Defect ID Description QXCR1000505659: (JAGad36654) A tag of bundle, product or fileset longer than 16 characters was being truncated to 16 characters in the swpackage log. With this fix, the complete tag name will be displayed in the swpackage log, even if they are longer than 16 characters. QXCR1000532455: (JAGaf11611) Message changed from "x filesets were determined to be skipped in the analysis phase.
Table 5 Defects fixed in September 2008 release (continued) Defect ID Description QXCR1000796154 Support the NGROUPS expansion to allow more than 20 groups. SD has been modified to use sysconf(2) to determine the maximum number of groups supported by the system instead of using the NGROUPS_MAX define. QXCR1000812154 This fix avoids the delays, in a IPV4 only environment caused supposedly by repeated DNS lookups by the new IPV4/IPV6 interfaces. March 2008 Web Release 11.23 SW-DIST fileset revision B.
Table 7 Defects fixed in December 2007 (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf88718 The swlist man page does not show an example of how to list all patches on a system, and their current state. That example has now been added to the swlist man page. JAGag20903 The swpackage command issues an unexpected warning when files packaged into different filesets are hard linked in the packager source area.
Table 8 Defects fixed in September 2007 release Defect ID 12 Description JAGag29254 A swapon() call may fail with errno 22 during swinstall or update-ux. The swagent program is fixed to prevent that swapon() failure. JAGag30553 A new option, autoselect_minimum_dependencies, has been added to control the selection of the first left-most dependency in a list of OR'd dependencies that satisfies a requisite.
Table 8 Defects fixed in September 2007 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag41035 The description of the dynamic_module attribute in the swpackage(4) manpage is incorrect where it says that dynamic modules must be delivered to /stand/mod/. The manpage has been changed to specify the correct location of /usr/conf/mod. JAGag41553 The "remove_obsolete_filesets" option has been added to swpackage.
Table 9 Defects fixed in June 2007 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag25321 The "as_needed" functionality for the "autoselect_dependencies" option did not select dependencies "as_needed", and instead treated the option as "false" and no dependencies were selected. SD has been changed to correctly select dependencies "as_needed". JAGag27255 Control scripts that use set -u may encounter uninitialized variables in control_utils and report an error.
Table 10 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag05770 The message issued when a dependency cannot be selected because a patch that supersedes it has already been selected does not contain enough information. An additional message has been added that logs the identifiers of the patches that have a conflict. JAGag07018 The CIFS file system is now supported. The CIFS file system is treated as CDROM/DVD media so read-only is the only type of access available.
Table 10 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag18718 When a new dynamic module is installed using interactive swinstall, a popup says the kernel will be rebuilt even though installing a new dynamic module will not by itself cause a kernel rebuild. Swinstall is fixed to not show the popup message in that case, unless there are other reasons to show the popup message. JAGag21177 swinstall and swremove man pages did not document the -x run_scripts option.
Table 12 Defects fixed in June 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf90593 Problem with swcopy, swinstall, swask, swlist. JAGaf91668 The interactive user interface was modified so that control is automatically returned to update-ux (or ignite-ux) after the installation phase completes, regardless of whether or not any "is_reboot=true" filesets have been installed in that session.
Table 13 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2006 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf80703 In some circumstances, a defect in SD's dependency resolution module causes it to incorrectly calculate dependencies for software that declares product-level corequisites or prerequisites. This ultimately results in dependency errors during the analysis phase of swremove sessions.
Table 14 HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf63449 Fixed a memory leak in swinstall and swcopy that caused their process sizes to increase substantially while processing certain combinations of patch or patch bundle selections. The problem was most apparent with source depots containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch filesets.
Table 15 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes Defect ID Description JAGae59730 Certain messages were not structured well for translating into other languages. JAGaf10364 In an interactive swinstall or swcopy session, if the analysis phase fails because all selected filesets were skipped or excluded, and if some of those filesets were excluded in order to avoid creating a split patch (i.e.
Table 15 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf45569 If a dependency is declared on a product instead of a fileset, swinstall may not correctly resolve the dependency if the product is compatible but contains incompatible filesets. (Note, however, that HP-UX packaging policy only allows dependencies on filesets).
Table 16 HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 Fixes (continued) Defect ID 22 Description JAGaf05956 In the swremove man page an example of how to remove all software from a depot now shows a backslash before the asterisk in the swremove command line. Previously, the example did not show a backslash before the asterisk.
Table 16 HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf27207 use of 'get_os_rev' in control scripts modifies IFS. Some control scripts may not work correctly when IFS is modified. JAGaf27275 the "patch_newconfig_rollcheck" documentation said that it is to be used in a preremove script. It is actually to be used in a checkremove script.
Table 17 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2004 Fixes (continued) JAGae99511 If a system makes use of RPC_SUPPORTED_NETADDRS, they would be unset by S120swconfig, and later startup scripts (eg ovstart) would cause errors. JAGaf02256 Swverify incorrectly shows a missing .o file in a depot created using the package_in_place features of swpackage. The .o is actually not missing, and swinstall for swcopy from the package_in_place work correctly.
Corrective Action: A fix in the 2Gb/4Gb drivers has been released. The following steps will resolve the issue: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. • Go to www.hp.com Click Software & Driver Downloads. In the white text box, type the name of the I/O card, such as A6826A. Click the >> button. Click the Cross Operating System button. Look for EFI 1.49 for adapters A6826A, A9782A, A9784A, and AB465A. Look for EFI 1.05 for adapters AB378A and AB379A.
1. 2. • Attach loop back hoods to all of the unconnected HBA ports. The loop back hoods will cause the unconnected HBA ports to come online in a private loop topology. Install the product bundle, mtIOScan, that enables boot time kernel threads. This will reduce the overall boot delay due to unconnected ports to 21 seconds. This product can be obtained from www.software.hp.
