For more information, see the _P_a_t_c_h _K_i_t _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s. _1._2._1 _P_a_t_c_h _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _f_r_o_m _M_u_l_t_i_u_s_e_r _M_o_d_e You can now install patches when a system is in multiuser mode. There are no restrictions on performing patch selection and preinstallation checking in multiuser mode. Although you can now install patches in multiuser mode, Compaq recommends that you bring down your system to single-user mode when you install patches that affect the operation of the Tru64 UNIX operating system (or the product you are patching). If your system must remain in multiuser mode, we recommend that you apply the patches when the system is as lightly loaded as possible. _1._2._2 _A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c _K_e_r_n_e_l _B_u_i_l_d If the patches that are installed indicate that a kernel build is required, dddduuuuppppaaaattttcccchhhh will initiate the kernel build automatically. Most times a reboot is required to complete the installation and bring the system to a consistent running environment. Certain file types, such as libraries, are not moved into place until you reboot the system. When installing patches in multiuser mode, you can take one of three options after the kernel build is complete: +o Reboot the system immediately. 1-2 Release Notes +o Reboot the system at a specified time. +o Do not reboot the system. _1._2._3 _P_a_t_c_h _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _f_r_o_m _a _P_s_e_u_d_o-_T_e_r_m_i_n_a_l You can now install patches on the system from a pseudo-terminal (pty) while in single-user mode. To do this, log in to the system as root from a remote location and specify that the patches are to be installed in single-user mode. After all the patch prerequisites are completed, the system goes into single- user mode while it maintains the network connection for the root user. The system then installs the patches. _1._3 _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e _f_o_r _T_r_u_C_l_u_s_t_e_r _S_e_r_v_e_r If you are installing only TCR patches, you MUST rebuild the kernel and reboot the machine for the changes to take effect. If removing only TCR patches, you MUST also rebuild the kernel and reboot the machine for the changes to take effect. _1._4 _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e _f_o_r _T_r_u_6_4 _U_N_I_X _P_a_t_c_h _4_8._0_0 If the system configurable parameter llllssssmmmm::::llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeeedddd is set (value = 1), the enhanced read round robin policy is activated. This new policy stores the last block accessed by the previous I/O request. When returning for another block in round robin (VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD) mode, that value is compared to the current read. If it is within a predefined, user-configurable value (llllssssmmmm::::llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy) then the same plex is used. Otherwise, the next plex is used as for a normal round robin behavior. The two new additional tunable parameters are llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeeedddd set to 0 by default (VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeeedddd read is not activated), and llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy is set to 512 by default. Append tuning changes to the ////eeeettttcccc////ssssyyyyssssccccoooonnnnffffiiiiggggttttaaaabbbb file.. Refer to the Tuning notes following for a description of the newllllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeeedddd and llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy tunable parameters. These tunable parameters are configured in the llllssssmmmm stanza. For example: lsm: lsm_V_ROUND_enhanced = 1 lsm_V_ROUND_enhance_proximity = 1024 _N_o_t_e If you already have an llllssssmmmm stanza in your ssssyyyyssssccccoooonnnnffffiiiiggggttttaaaabbbb file, then just add the two llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD entries. _T_u_n_i_n_g Release Notes 1-3 The purpose of this patch is to increase performance with sequential reads. This patch introduces a new enhanced round robin mode where the last block read is now compared to the next block to read and a check is added to see if last block number-next block number is less than or equal to llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy. If it is, read from the same plex. This is to attempt to hit the disk cache, and so increase performance. The relevant tunable parameters are as follows: ssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeeedddd -- This variable activates the new enhanced round robin read policy if it is set to TRUE (1). Otherwise the policy is deactivated. DEFAULT = 0 llllssssmmmm____VVVV____RRRROOOOUUUUNNNNDDDD____eeeennnnhhhhaaaannnncccceeee____pppprrrrooooxxxxiiiimmmmiiiittttyyyy -- This variable indicates the proximity in which the last read and new read must lie in an attempt to read data from the disk's cache by reading from the same plex. The variable can be adjusted from 0 to 4096. DEFAULT = 512 _1._5 _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e _f_o_r _T_r_u_6_4 _U_N_I_X _P_a_t_c_h _1_0_7._0_0 _U_F_S _d_e_l_a_y_e_d _m_e_t_a_d_a_t_a _m_o_u_n_t _o_p_t_i_o_n This new mmmmoooouuuunnnntttt option allows for disabling synchronous metadata writes on a specified file system. The new mount option is ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd. To maintain the file system's consistency, UFS metadata (such as inode, directory, and indirect blocks) is updated synchronously by default. Metadata updates are typically performed synchronously to prevent file system corruption after a crash. The trade-off for filesystem integrity, however, is performance. In some cases, such as a file system serving as a cache, performance (faster metadata update) is more important than preserving data consistency across a system crash; for example, files under ////ttttmmmmpppp, or web proxy servers such as Squid. This has two results. One, multiple updates to one block become only one block write as opposed to multiple writes of the same block with traditional synchronous metadata update. Two, users can experience much better responsiveness when they run metadata-intensive applications because metadata writes will not go out to the disk immediately, while users get their prompt back as soon as the metadata updates are queued. Do not use the ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd option on the //// or ////uuuussssrrrr file systems. Use the ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd option only on file systems that do not need to survive across a system crash. _U_s_a_g_e To enable the ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd option, run: mmmmoooouuuunnnntttt ----oooo ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd or 1-4 Release Notes mmmmoooouuuunnnntttt ----uuuu ----oooo ddddeeeellllaaaayyyyeeeedddd _1._6 _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e _f_o_r _T_r_u_6_4 _U_N_I_X _P_a_t_c_h _1_9_4._0_0 This patch provides the X server support for the new 3DLabs Oxygen VX1 PCI graphics card. In order to obtain full support for this graphic card, you must also select Patch 192.00, which is the driver portion of the patch.

The potential for this anomaly exists only if floppy disk read or write operations are attempted while there is extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha systems' internal input/output busses. Although Compaq has observed the anomaly only in laboratory tests designed to create atypical system stresses, including almost constant use of the floppy disk drive, Compaq has informed owners of the remote possibility that the anomaly could occur so that they may take precautions to prevent it. Compaq recommends that the solution be installed by all DS10, DS10L, ES40 AlphaServers, and XP900 AlphaStation customers.

In order to obtain full support for this graphics card, you must also select Patch 194.00, which is the X server portion of the patch. If you have a system with this new graphics card, you will need to reconfigure and rebuild the kernel after installing this patch.

Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-23 Patch 140.00 PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Printer fixes OSF445-115 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF445-072 (79.00), OSF445-082 (138.00) This patch corrects the following: Fixes a printing problem where lpd reads any data from the printer that has not been read, for local and remote connections. The read- backs for remote connections cause an additional two second timeout which may cause a job-submit failure on the job-number wrap-around. A user is unable to delete a print job from a remote system with a hostname greater than 32 characters because the hostname was truncated. When a TCP/IP connection fails, the retry algorithm would take longer to print jobs due to a long retry interval. A timing hole during lpd last-job completion and shutdown needed to be closed. It was not possible to print to the lpd queue using Windows 2000. Corrects a problem in which, under certain conditions, unnecessary error messages are written to the lpr.log file. 2-24 Summary of Base Operating System Patches Patch 145.00 PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: NFS writes cause protocol violations OSF445-058A SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF445-069 (72.00), OSF445-008 (74.00), OSF445-065 (141.00), OSF445-075 (142.00), OSF445-002 (143.00) This patch corrects the following: Fixes a problem where the following can occur during a system panic: System calls interrupts. mpsleep() returns an EINTR error when the panicstr is non-NULL.

Summary of Base Operating System Patches 2-35 Patch 196.00 PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Fix for floppy disk OSF445-135 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: New Compaq has determined in laboratory testing that there is a theoretical possibility that during read and write operations to the floppy disk on DS10, DS10L and ES40 AlphaServers and VS10 and XP900 AlphaStations, a single byte of data may be inaccurately read or written without notice to the user or system. The potential for this anomaly exists only if floppy data read and write operations are attempted while there is extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha systems' internal input/output busses. Although Compaq has observed the anomaly only in laboratory tests designed to create atypical system stresses, including almost constant use of the floppy disk drive, we are supplying this patch to address this potential issue. 2-36 Summary of Base Operating System Patches Patch 199.00 PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Provides enhancements for GS-series platforms OSF445-127 SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: Supersedes patches OSF445-080 (82.00), OSF445-129 (197.00) This patch corrects the following: Provides enhancements for the GS-series platforms. The header information in Hierarchical Switch machine checks was incorrect. The early revisions of PCA hardware do not allow Window 3 DAC for DMA. Fixes a problem on AlphaServer GS80, GS160, and GS320 systems where under specific set of unlikely circumstances it is possible for revision 4 PCA hardware to falsely report PCI hung bus errors. This will cause a uncorrectable hardware machine check and operating system panic. This patch must be installed if the hardware configuration includes any revision 4 PCA (IOP to PCI bus) adpaters. Fixes a problem on the Alphaserver GS80, GS160, and GS320 platforms where the system will issue an environmental warning and shut itself down when it reaches a critical temperature, even though this temperature is safe for the power supply.

An incorrect decision made by the asedirector as a result of a failed inquire services command. This is a performance improvement in the startup of start scripts. It will reduce the necessary system calls to start the scripts. Fixes a problem where the Host Status Monitor (asehsm) incorrectly reports a network down (HSM_NI_STATUS DOWN) if the counters for the network interface get zeroed. Fixes an ASE problem where, under certain circumstances, the service scripts could cause the ASE agent to loop during a start or stop service. Corrects a problem with member add in a large environment. Corrects a problem with TruCluster Available Server or Production Server cluster in which services have been started with elevated priority and scheduling algorithm. Under significant load this could lead to intermittent Summary of TruCluster Software Patches 3-5 network and cluster problems. Fixes a problem which caused a service not to start when there was a short network failure. This was seen only with long running stop scripts and special network configurations. Corrects a problem which causes asemgr to core dump when modifying a single drd service to add more than 200 devices. Fixes a problem that caused aseagent or asehsm to core dump when starting NFS and Disk Services that contain several LSM volumes. Fixes a problem where the asemgr will hang as it continuously create and kill multiple directors. Corrects a problem that causes the ASE director to core dump during initialization. Corrects a problem where modifying a service with a large number of DRDs will fail and a "could not malloc" message is seen in the daemon.log file. Fixes a problem where the MEMBER_STATE variable always is shown as BOOTING instead of RUNNING. After first installing TCR, there is no way to have scripts know the MEMBER_STATE. This problem is cleared on a reboot. Corrects a problem in which a network cable failure that corrects within 7 seconds of the failure can leave the services in a bad state. Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr to get a memory fault when adding multiple services in a row. Fixes a problem with extraneous compiler warnings about strdup() function calls from ASE. 3-6 Summary of TruCluster Software Patches Patch 59.00 continued Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr utility to not run when called from a program that is owned by root and has the setuid bit turned on. Fixes a problem that can cause the Cluster MIB daemon (cnxmibd) to core dump in Available Server environments. Fixes a problem which caused an error message to be logged for the cnxmibd even though no error had occurred. Fixes two issues with clusters: When a cluster is brought up with ASE off, other members report it as UP and RUNNING instead of UP and UNKNOWN. When a restricted service is running on a member, and asemember stop or aseam stop is executed, the service status is still reported as the member name, instead of Unassigned. Fixes a problem where timeout values of greater than 30 seconds in /etc/hsm.conf would cause ASE agent to fail at start up. Fixes a bug where the aseagent will occasionally core dump on a SCSI bus hang. Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr to report the wrong status for a service. This patch fixes the following problems with the clu_ivp script: The script now checks to be sure that the cluster members are listed in the /etc/hosts file, and it no longer copies /var/adm/messages to /tmp. Copying the messages file to /tmp could result in the filesystem becoming full, and clu_ivp exiting with an error. The clu_ivp script now also checks the /var/adm/messages file for shared busses if none are listed in the configuration file. Fixes a problem that could cause the asedirector Summary of TruCluster Software Patches 3-7 to core dump. Fixes a problem that caused the asemgr to report that a disk, or mount point, was in multiple services when modifying a service name. 3-8 Summary of TruCluster Software Patches Patch 61.00 PPPPaaaattttcccchhhh:::: Fixes problems with the clu_ivp script TCR160-054B SSSSttttaaaatttteeee:::: TCR160-009B (22.00), TCR160-021B (23.00), TCR160-022B (24.00), TCR160-031B (25.00), TCR160-036B (50.00), TCR160-047B (51.00) This patch corrects the following: This is a performance improvement in the startup of start scripts.
