HP Tru64 UNIX Technical Updates for the Version 5.1B and Higher Operating System and Patches (February 2010)

# /sbin/volplex -o rm dis rootvol-02 swapvol-02 vol-dsk6g-02
c. Remove associated disks from LSM control. This is necessary if the root file system is
to be mirrored again to this disk:
# /sbin/voldg rmdisk root02 swap02 dsk5g-AdvFS dsk5e
# /sbin/voldisk rm dsk5a dsk5b dsk5g dsk5e
2. Run the update installation. For example:
# /sbin/installupdate /dev/disk/cdrom0c
3. When the installation is completed, do the following:
a. Add LSM entries into the /etc/inittab file to allow LSM to start automatically on
system boot.
# /usr/sbin/volinstall
b. If you want to mirror the root file system, you can do so now:
# /usr/sbin/volrootmir dsk5
Increasing PCI Box Support on GS1280 M32 to 16 (Aug. 2003)
The maximum number of standard I/O hoses (IDE buses) allowed for an initial install of Tru64
UNIX Version 5.1B from the CD-ROM is eight. Any I/O drawer connected to a hose that has
more than eight must be disconnected or powered down during a fresh install from the Tru64
UNIX CD-ROM.
Problem Using scu Commands and the UNIX Shell During Installation (Feb. 2003)
During an installation, scu commands issued through the UNIX shell may cause the X window
and the installation script to restart.
To work around this problem, disable paging of output information to the X window when you
first start the scu utility:
scu>set paging off
Invalid Tape Subclass Errors Occur When You Update Install from Version 5.1A and
Patch Kit 4 (Feb. 2003)
When you update install from a system running Version 5.1A with Patch Kit 4 installed to Version
5.1B, the /sbin/ddr_config utility reports an Invalid Tape Subclass error. As a result of this
error, a new /etc/ddr.db is not produced and any customizations to /etc/ddr.dbase will
not be in effect.
This problem can be resolved by performing one of the following tasks:
• Manually edit /etc/ddr.dbase and remove the entry that defines the "Ultrium" tape drive
(see ddr.dbase(4) and ddr_config(8))
• This problem was corrected in the Version 5.1B patch kits, beginning with Patch Kit 1.
Processor-Specific Updates
S47/ES80/GS1280 Performance Improvements by Turning off Environmental
Monitoring Daemon (May 2005)
The AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 is susceptible to minor performance penalties when the
Tru64 UNIX environmental monitoring daemon (envmond) is running, or when an application
uses the hwmgr command to query the attributes of a sensor in the hardware manager's device
hierarchy. Also, the use of hwmgr or envmond can lead to delays in the timely servicing of
interrupts.
