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

• Modifies netstat and ifconfig so that when a MAC address is printed, it is printed using
2-digit hex octets with leading zeros.
• Fixes a problem in which Smart Array 5300 logical volumes are counted as RAID controllers.
• Adds dumprmt.msg for remote dump/restore messages. This new message catalog file is
used in both rdump and rrestore programs.
• Corrects a potential system crash when shutting down after using a DAPBA or DAPCA
ATM adapter.
• Fixes a problem with non-U.S. USB keyboards used in non-U.S. locales in which the keyboards
are treated as U.S. keyboards by the operating system.
• Fixes various problems in the bcm driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet which can cause
crashes.
• Fixes the dump command to recognize LSM volumes correctly and to not report random
information when an error has occurred.
• Fixes a condition that may cause a panic if the Xserver is stopped.
• Changes the fwupgrade command to allow the specified firmware update image to be
located on a BOOTP server in a connected network.
• Fixes several problems in the bcm driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet adapters, including
the following:
— A condition that causes the driver to incorrectly report data overruns
— A condition that prevents DEGX2-SA modules from being recognized
• Fixes two problems in the tu driver for DE5xx 10/100 MB Ethernet adapters.
• Adds code to print greater than 61 UNIX domain sockets.
• Changes file read errors from /dev/kmem to ignore and continue in a running system.
• Fixes a problem in the alt driver that prevents DEGPA from being used with DE50x or DE60x
adapters in a LAG set.
• Increases the default limit of DLI packets to 16 K and makes the limit tunable. This corrects
a problem in which attempts to sent packets larger than 5000 bytes (jumbo packets) can fail.
• Updates DDR for the MSA array controller and for other future devices.
• Adds recognition for possible future devices.
• Fixes various problems in the bcm driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
• Updates ICMP code to add redirect timeout support and non-modifiable route table entries.
• Provides modifications for emx hardware.
• Provides device support for the SDLT160/320 tape drive.
• Fixes various problems in the ee driver for DE60x.
• Sets a software limit to prevent serious performance problems that can occur when TCP
connections that have an rate-limit enforced by a downstream network device overrun the
device.
• Corrects a problem in which /sbin/ddr_config does not accept values for ReadyTimeSeconds
larger than 255. The new limit is 86400 seconds (24 hours).
• Fixes problems with NUMA disk statistics
• Fixes a KMF problem that can happen if some of the nodes in cluster are rebooted and a
device is shared by all the nodes.
• Changes the CAM subsystem message that is printed to the error log on a recovered read
error from "bad block number" to "block number."
• Corrects a problem that can cause a core dump when the fwupgrade command is executed
with qualifiers.
• Enhances HP-XP Array controller support.
• Corrects several potential security vulnerabilities where, under certain circumstances, system
integrity may be compromised. These may be in the form of improper file or privilege
management.
