and milter functionality. This update also brings key changes to the sendmail configuration file. NetRAIN over LAG With this release, it is now possible to run NetRAIN over link aggregation (LAG). Although only one LAG group will be active at a time, the benefit is that it enables the use of NetRAIN with redundant switches and a high bandwidth LAG group.
• • The addition of several new tunable attributes to the NFS and RPC subsystems enable you to modify these kernel subsystem configurations using the sysconfig command. Modifications to the fsdb utility enable it to operate on a file system image as well as on a special file. TruCluster Server Enhancements This release provides many enhancements to the TruCluster Server software. The following sections provide brief descriptions of some of these improvements.
Because many of these products and components are updated more frequently than the Tru64 UNIX operating system, HP makes them available for downloading from the Tru64 UNIX Products Web site when new versions are available: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/products.html Some of the products in the following list are provided on the Associated Products CDs included in the Tru64 UNIX media kit. However, check the Web site to see if newer versions are provided there.
DataDirect SequeLink Version 5.4 is available from the Tru64 UNIX Products Web site. This highly scalable, server-based middleware gives you a complete platform for data connectivity. OpenLDAP Directory Server The OpenLDAP Directory Server included with this release has been updated to Version 2.3.24. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an Internet standard directory service protocol that runs over TCP/IP. LDAP provides access to directories that support the X.500 model.
• • • The ability to store file and directory access control lists (ACLs) directly in file system metadata. The ability to use port 445 for SMB connections. Enhanced security in authentication and session security by fully supporting the NTLMv2 protocol. The ASU provides seamless interoperability between Tru64 UNIX servers, Windows NT® servers, and Microsoft® Windows® clients.

2 Choosing and Installing the Software You Need This chapter provides a brief overviews of the CDs included in this kit and points you to the information you need to install the software. Overview of Version 5.1B-4 CDs This kit contains six primary CDs. The following list describes the contents of these disks and tells you what you need to know to get your system up and running as quickly as possible: • Version 5.1B-4 CD This disk contains the new and improved features and problem fixes.
• Installing on new, update, or preinstalled operating systems If this is a new or update (from a pre-Version 5.1B system) installation, or an installation that was preinstalled (called factory installed systems, or FIS), begin by reviewing the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide . See Section 1.2 for FIS systems and Section 1.3 to determine the type of installation that best meets your needs. To access the Installation Guide, install the Tru64 UNIX Documentation Library.
Accessing the Documentation CD To read the Tru64 UNIX documentation on a Tru64 UNIX system, follow these steps: 1. Log in as superuser. 2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and mount it as follows: # mount /dev/disk/cdromNa /usr/share/doclib/online In this command, N is the unit number of your CD-ROM device. If you do not know the unit number of your CD device, the following command will provide that information: # ls /dev/disk/cdrom* Do not use a different mount point. 3.
3 Release Notes This chapter provides release notes that are specific to Version 5.1B-4 and the TruCluster Server software product. “Installation Release Notes”, “Kit Removal Release Notes” (page 23), and “Cluster-Specific Installation and Removal Release Notes” (page 24) provide information you need to be aware of when installing or removing Version 5.1B-4. “General Release Notes” (page 27) describes issues you may encounter and, when available, provides workarounds you can use.
# cp /sbin/init.d/snmpd /tmp An alternative to backing up this file, in which you manually modify it, is provided following step 7. 2. 3. Run the Version 5.1B-4 dupatch utility and select Option 5, Patch Baseline Analysis/Adjustment. See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions for detailed instructions. After Phase 5 of the baseline procedure, answer y to the following question: Do you want to enable the installation of any of these patches? [y/n]: y 4. 5.
Stop sendmail Before Installing Kit Stop the sendmail mailer daemon before installing this kit. Failing to do so can lead to the loss of queued mail. Lost mail cannot be recovered. To stop the daemon, enter the following command: # /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop Run Commands on BIND Systems After Kit Installation After installing this kit on a system configured to be BIND server, run the following command: # rcmgr set BIND_SERVERARGS "-c /etc/namedb/named.
# /usr/sbin/sysman ipsec A warning message alerts you to potential problems. Update lprsetup.dat File When Using printconfg If you use the /usr/sbin/printconfig application to configure printer queues, run the following command as root to update the /etc/lprsetup.dat file: # /usr/sbin/lprsetup -c update AdvFS Domain Differences Can Affect Version Upgrades A difference in the structure of Version 5.1A and early 5.1B AdvFS domains versus later V5.1B domains can cause a problem when upgrading to Version 5.
Use the showfile command to determine if an RBMT file has more than one page. To do this, select any mounted fileset from the domain in question, find the mount point for the fileset, and enter the following command. (Note that .tags/M-6 represents volume 1. Subsequent volumes are incremented by a factor of six, so that volume 2 uses .tags/M-12, volume 3 uses .tags/M-18, and so on.) For example: # /usr/sbin/showfile mountpoint/.tags/M-6 Id Vol PgSz Pages XtntType fffffffa.
Changes to System Might Need to Be Reversed If you made the following changes to your system after installing this patch kit, you have to undo those changes before you can uninstall it: • If you changed your hardware configuration (for example, by adding a new disk), the system configuration that existed prior to installing this patch kit might not recognize the new devices or might not provide the necessary support for them.
Extract dupatch Tools Before Cloning When beginning a cloning process, first mount the Version 5.1B-4 CD (or extract the kit if downloaded from the Web) to your Version 5.1B-3 system and run the dupatch command to install the necessary cloning tools. See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions document for information about installing the latest dupatch tools.
Migrating a Patched Standalone System to a Cluster Installing only the base patches on a noncluster system omits various patches (including some security patches) because of dependencies on TruCluster Server patches. Such patches are not needed on standalone systems. However, if the standalone system is then clustered using the clu_create command and you attempt to apply the cluster patches, many patches fail with errors because some prerequisite patches failed.
Enabling the Version Switch After Installation Some patches require you to run the versw -switch command to enable the new functions delivered in those patches. (See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions for information about version switches.) Enter the command as follows after dupatch has completed the installation process: # versw -switch The new functionality is notavailable until after you reboot your system.
• • • version.abbrev_vendor from COMPAQ to HP version.banner from Compaq Tru64 UNIX to HP Tru64 UNIX version.vendor from Compaq Computer Corporation to Hewlett-Packard Company The .mrg..sysconfigtab file has been modified to incorporate these changes into the generic sysconfig subsystem in the /etc/sysconfigtab file. If the rebranding of HP Tru64 UNIX version information impacts any applications or layered products, you can manually change generic system version attributes.
You can correct this problem by installing the latest version of the Insight Manager, Version 3.6. You can download this version from the HP Insight Management Agents for Tru64 UNIX Web site: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/cma/ If you have not installed Version 3.6 and the Insight Manager processes do not run after you reboot your system, restart them using the Insight Manger startup scripts. Autoloader Firmware Upgrade Changes WWID A firmware upgrade to v1.
