HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-6 Patch Summary and Release Notes

• Corrects a potential security vulnerability that could result in non-privileged users gaining
unauthorized privileged access on the system.
• Provides the ability for the collect utility to salvage data files with missing termination
records.
• Provides the collect utility with the ability to report local and remote I/O access statistics for
cluster storage devices in a TruCluster Server environment.
• Corrects a problem of compromised AdvFS data integrity which occurs when a new AdvFS
domain or fileset is added while collect is running.
• Updates the collect utility to Version 2.0.5.
• Provides new collect features, including AdvFS monitoring and CPU and memory metrics
on a per RAD basis.
• Fixes floating-point exception in collect.
• Corrects a condition in which collect cannot create a new data file from a data file that does
not include a termination record.
• Corrects a condition in which the concatenation of two or more of collect's data files prevents
access to last record and collect generates an "out-of-sync" error. With this patch, collect will
print out the last record when the -l option is used on playback.
• Allows collect to gather AdvFS statistics when the number of active AdvFS filesets exceeds
128.
• Causes collect to exit with the following message if it is run with the -H option and the
directory linking to /var/adm/collocated does not exist:
chmod or chown failed.: No such file or directory
• Corrects a problem in which collect hangs on a AS8200 server and CPU resources would
rise to 99.9% until a Ctrl/c is issued.
• Fixes the problem where collect displays wrong values of usrtim and systim.
• Cleans up resource usage caused by collect.
• Fixes an issue with the collect on NUMA platforms in which collect RAD CPU Summary
statistics are inconsistent with the single statistics.
• Corrects a problem in which collect stops working intermittently when data collection is
done with compression.
• Fixes a memory leak problem with collect on NUMA systems.
• Fixes a problem with the collect that cause it to report incorrect packet count information
when a large number of incoming/outgoing packets occur per second.
• Improves collect so it can properly handle dynamic changes to resources such as AdvFS file
systems and disks. The collect utility now also ensures that errors are logged through syslog
so they are not lost when it is run in historic mode.
• Corrects a condition that causes collect to display the error “Mini-Header out of sync” when
playing back data files.
• Improves input validation and the handling of process lists supplied via the collect -P
command.
• Corrects a problem in which memory reports generated by collect for a system on NUMA
platform are different from those generated on a non-NUMA system.
• Corrects a problem with collect when it is used with the -l option to seek to the last record
of a data file whose size is less than 312 bytes.
• Corrects a problem with collect incorrectly reporting RAD and memory statistics on systems
where the RADs are not serially numbered.
• Corrects a problem of collect stopping after 48 hours, when running in historical mode.
