Software Distributor Requirements, Issues Fixed, and Workarounds HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-2562, March 2013)

Table 20 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
This release changes a message SD issues for a memory allocation error. The
previous message said "This is probably due to insufficient memory.", the new
message says "This is probably due to insufficient swap space."
JAGaf50358
The file_permissions values for the object's permissions and ownership are
not used when the file specification uses the "-t" syntax. This results in SD
defaults being used instead for settings not specified along with the "-t" syntax.
JAGaf51068
In a non-interactive session, if the user attempts a keyboard interrupt (e.g.,
cntrl-C) during certain periods of the software selection phase, the SD controller
may abort and dump core with a segmentation violation.

DescriptionDefect ID
The SD man pages now describe SW_SESSION_IS_UPDATE and
SW_CONFIG_AFTER_REBOOT environment variables.
JAGaf01457
In an OS update or cold intall, the following message is shown but the update
or install completes successfully. If the interactive SD GUI is specified for the
JAGaf05428
update or install, the message appears in an ERROR popup, even though the
same message in the logfile is not marked as an error or warning.
"The fileset could not be selected due to missing and/or incompatible options
to override compatibility with the current settings of the target system(s)."
The OS-Core.CORE2-KRN fileset is incorrectly unselected due to this problem,
but is then re-selected as a dependency of another fileset, enabling the update
or install to complete successfully. This fixes swinstall to not issue this message
and to not unselect OS- Core.CORE2-KRN.
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.
JAGaf05956
A message is logged containing the path "//var" when "-x logdetail=true" is
set on the swinstall command line, and a patch is installed that causes old
JAGaf07705
copies of the patched files to be saved. The messages are fixed to show "/var"
instead.
In some cases, SD incorrectly attempts host lookups on strings that do not
represent hosts. When a DNS server is down or if DNS is otherwise
JAGaf10372
misconfigured, these lookups must time-out before the lookup fails. When
many such lookups are performed, the cumulative delay caused by these
timeouts can be significant.
When performing operations on an already-installed bundle, missing contents
result in warning messages even when the contents was not compatible with
JAGaf10873
the target system. For swverify, such messages should be issued as an
informational note, and for swconfig and swremove, these messages aren't
useful at all and should be suppressed.
SD commands are enhanced to handle 256 character hostnames on platforms
that support large hostnames. This enhancement is implemented in SD in a
JAGaf15245
way that is compatible with older releases of HP-UX, so this fix can be installed
on systems that do not support large hostnames.
When a value in /stand/system is commented using the comment indicator
"*", the comment syntax is merged with the value. This results in invalid syntax
for mk_kernel.
