Table 11 Defects fixed in March 2009 Fixes Defect ID Description QXCR1000473250 The swinstall command has been changed to throw a WARNING message instead of an ERROR message when an installation of a lower version of a component upon a higher version on a system without "allow_downdate=true" option is attempted.

Table 14 Defects fixed in December 2007 (continued) Defect ID Description says hard links across filesets are not supported, and each file will be recorded as a regular file. The swpackage command has been fixed to not issue that warning, but otherwise to not change behavior.

The message is improved to list the potential reasons why nothing is selected.
Table 15 Defects fixed in September 2007 release Defect ID Description JAGag29254 A swapon() call may fail with errno 22 during swinstall or update-ux.

Table 17 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description 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. JAGag08008 When a product specification is used for a bundle content and it contains the fileset architecture (fa=), the product's filesets were not listed when swlist was used to list the bundle's filesets.
Table 17 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag21177 swinstall and swremove man pages did not document the -x run_scripts option.

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 20 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 21 HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID 22 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 The problem was most apparent with source depots containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch filesets.
May 2005 Table 22 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes Defect ID Description JAGae59730 Certain messages were not structured well for translating into other languages.

Table 22 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID JAGaf45569 Description 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.

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 23 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 24 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2004 Fixes (continued) JAGae96976 swlist @ syntax fails if the target is a serial depot. 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. Go to www.hp.com 2. Click Software & Driver Downloads. 3. In the white text box, type the name of the I/O card, such as A6826A. 4. Click the >> button. 5. Click the Cross Operating System button. 6. 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.
