Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_13939
Symptoms:
PHSS_13939:
- Converting a date/time string with date 02/09/2000
to integer (sec. since 1900) fails. The range check
of valid days of a month calculates leap years
wrong.
- If a scheduled action is defined for the last day
in each month (day of month = 31, month = blank),
the action will be executed on Feb. 28th 2000 instead
of Feb. 29th 2000.
- Time template evaluation fails. Messages will be sent
to the wrong manager, in case of a DATE FROM/TO
definition with a 4 digit year.
- The ovoareqsdr is growing to the maximum
(kernel parameter) then it coredumps.
- When moving config info from one server to another
using cfgdwn/upld a directory is missing. This leads
to an error message when modifying this operator.
- Sending a lot of messages with automatic actions
causes the action manager to stop handling the
actrespq after a while
- In some Environments messages cannot be added to DB
- User is configured for NOT being able to acknowledge
messages, but the user can display, own and THEN
acknowledge any message
- Service Guard, the virtual node is assigned to a
template group holding the trap template then
distributing to the virtual node result in NO trap
interceptor running and the files in
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/opcsgtemplates
are deleted.
- Message events from messages from the message group
'misc' will not be forwarded to the Message Event
Interface
- When downloading treshold monitor templates, if
the template has only one condition and the
condition and the condition has no intruction,
then the instruction for the template will not
be downloaded.
- opccfgdwn downloads registration file xnmmibgraph
(for app. mibgraph) only for user netop, although
app. is registered with every user
- opcack requires user and password information
- Communication type for ITO A.04.00 updated with
/opt/OV/bin/utils/switch_commtype.sh - if the
parameter for this script was DCE_TCP the ITO GUI
shows DCE_UDP as the communication type.
- ITO uses selection name for copy/paste instead of
hostname
- In big Environments (a lot of node groups and
message groups) - closing the message browser
configuration screen causes a high CPU load.
- When selecting nodes for broadcast command it is
possible to select all kinds of funny objects, e.g.
the IP internet symbol. These objects should never
make it into the list.
- Several memory leaks in the server processes.
- If the system is brought done via shutdown and any
ITO GUI are still running it is not possible to
shutdown the database properly as connection are
still in use.
- if the distributed gui client is blocked
(stale NFS handles, SIGSTOP), the opc server
processes (opcactm, opcmsgm, opcdispm) are locked
also because RPC calls do not time out.
PHSS_12543:
- opctranm does not print errorlist when an error is
encountered.
- opcuiopadm coredumps during startup.
- Subagent installation says that ctla/acta not running
when the opcmsga is down.
- opctranm sometimes hangs during subagent installation
due to a plugged up magmgrq.
- ovoareqsdr can potentially have multiple threads
communicating to the same agent in parallel.
- View-only operators can start operator-initiated
actions.
- opcupgrade claims that Oracle 7.3.3 is not supported.
- Use instruction text I/F and deleting it from list
shows inconsistent state.
- ovtrap2opc doesn't load CiscoWorks trapd.conf.
- Insufficient error documentation
- A critical error message appears in ITO message
browser during subagent installation (subagent not
registered).
- Mass upgrade of 10.x nodes uncomfortable: each node
needs manual modify.
- Server processes have memory leaks.
- Auditing writes multiple identical messages for
opc_adm.
- opc_backup won't mount more than one logical volume
on MC/Service Guard if the shared volume group
contains several logical volumes.

Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
before installing this patch.
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Back up your system before installing a patch.
2. Login as root.
3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.
4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:
cd /tmp
sh PHSS_13939
5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
patch:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
-s /tmp/PHSS_13939.depot
5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
server to install the patch on the server and the clients:
swcluster -i -b
This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
force all clients to be shut down.
WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
patch installation. Installing the patch while the
clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
serious problems.
The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
you must specify:
alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
source depot path - /tmp/PHSS_13939.depot
To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
"Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
from the Menubar.
5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:
- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
the patch on the cluster server.
- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
the patch on the cluster clients.
By default swinstall will archive the original software in
/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_13939. If you do not wish to retain a
copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.
Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful
when using this feature.
It is recommended that you move the PHSS_13939.text file to
/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.
To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
tape drive, use the command:
dd if=/tmp/PHSS_13939.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
Special Installation Instructions:
BEFORE LOADING THIS PATCH...

ITO releases:
A.04.0x
o DO NOT use this patch with older releases of OpC
or ITO, for example versions A.01.X, A.02.X or
A.03.X.
o It provides bug fixes and enhancements
for ITO 4.0x Management
Server system, Oracle, English and Japanese
version.
(A) Patch Installation Instructions
-------------------------------
(A1) Stop all ITO processes on your Management Server;
this includes manager processes, communication
processes and user-interface processes on the
machine.
- Stop all the ITO GUIs that are running, by using
the "File:Exit" menubar item
- Stop the ITO Manager processes:
# ovstop opc ovoacomm
If any ITO process is still running, kill it
manually:
# kill -9 <pid-of-orphaned-process>
If your are running ITO Distributed GUI shutdown
ITO on all Distributed GUI clients as well:
- If your are running the Mount Model DGUI apply
the patch only to the server
- If you are running the Full Model DGUI apply
the patch on ALL DGUI clients
If you are running ITO in an MC/ServiceGuard
installation:
- Apply this patch to all MC/SG cluster nodes
- The server processes need to be stopped with:
# cmhaltpkg OpC
(A2) Install the patch, following the standard installation
instructions.
Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support

on your Management Server system:
- Restart the ITO Manager processes, and check that
the processes are running:
# /usr/OV/bin/OpC/opcsv -start
# /usr/OV/bin/OpC/opcsv -status
NOTE: If you previously didn't have PHSS_12543 installed you
should remove the following files before starting up
the IT/Operations server processes again (the magmgr
queue file might contain entries that are never read
and thus plug up the queue):
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/magmgrq
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/magmgrp
NOTE: This is for MC/Service Guard users ONLY:
