Software Distributor defects fixed in HP-UX 11i v1, v2 and v3

1. 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.

2. 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.com

• swlist Does Not Indicate the Mezzanine HBAs

swlist does not indicate the Mezzanine HBAs, and cannot be added onto because of string

size limitation.

Corrective Action: Refer to Hardware Requirements later in this document for more

information.

• The time stamp of "/usr/bin/cc" was updated after running swinstall

The time stamp of /usr/bin/cc" was updated after running swinstall command when the

machine had the “Upgrade” product already installed on it.

This problem is due to the /opt/upgrade/bin/tlfileset.sh script, which does not

update the transition link database even if a product having a transition link is removed.

This causes incorrect link state for /usr/bin/cc and the timestamp of /usr/bin/cc to

change whenever swinstall command or tlinstall script is run.

Corrective Action: Remove “Upgrade” product using swremove upgrade. Upgrade product

is only for the customers migrating from HP-UX 9.X or 10.X to 11.X. This product is now

obsolete and unsupported.

• swinstall has a poor performance if the machine has Upgrade product installed on it

This problem is due to the sort algorithm in tlfileset.sh script, which is a part of the

“Upgrade” product.

Corrective Action: "Upgrade" product is now obsolete and unsupported, hence this problem

cannot be fixed. “Upgrade” product is only for the customers migrating from HP-UX 9.X /

10.X to 11.X.
