PROBLEM: (QAR 50371) (Patch ID: OSF415-410047) ******** This patch fixes the ADVANCED option to the btextract utility to correctly restore /etc/fstab file entries. Without this patch, the following two errors could occur: o Entries in the /etc/fstab file will sometimes be incorrect after the btextract utility completes. For example in the following line, the entry for swap should actually be swap1: /dev/rz1b swap ufs sw 0 2 o A restore operation deletes the entry for /dev/fd in the /etc/fstab file. PROBLEM: (QAR 50873) (Patch ID: OSF415-410047) ******** This patch fixes a problem encountered while using the btextract utility to restore file systems. The utility displays a system tape table and asks you which tape device you want to use to boot your system. If you choose a tape device that does not contain a tape, the system displays the following error messages: Positioning the Tape. Error on device named /dev/nrmt0h - Place tape drive unit ONLINE Error: Tape drive is not accessible PROBLEM: (51219) (Patch ID: 415-410056) ******** This patch fixes the Bootable Tape utilities. An automatic reboot problem when the system is booted from tape using the custom_install.sh file in a mini-root enviroment was corrected. To recreate this problem, create a custom_install.sh file in /usr/lib/sabt/sbin directory with the following commands: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/sbin/sh mount root_domain#root /mnt #mount /dev/rz0a /mnt /mnt/sbin/sysconfig -r bparm bootdef_dev="/dev/rrz1a" /mnt/sbin/sysconfig -r bparm boot_dev="/dev/rrz1a" /mnt/sbin/sysconfig -r bparm boot_osflags="A" /mnt/sbin/reboot ------------------------------------------------------------------ where rz1 can be changed to the boot device where root resides. Where if root device is rz0a and is ufs then uncomment the above line and comment the first mount statement. Create a bootable tape with selecting root filesystem to be backed up. After booting from the tape, you will see that reboot hangs. You need to bring up the system by hitting the power switch off/on. After applying this patch, rewrite the custom_install.sh file as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/sbin/sh /sbin/sysconfig -r bparm bootdef_dev="/dev/rrz1a" /sbin/sysconfig -r bparm boot_dev="/dev/rrz1a" /sbin/sysconfig -r bparm boot_osflags="A" /sbin/reboot ------------------------------------------------------------------ Create a bootable tape with selecting root filesystem to be backed up. After booting from the tape, you will see that reboot does not hang. PROBLEM: (QAR's 48546, 48548, 48893, 50942, 50943, 50962, 51022, 51036, ******** 51219) (Patch ID: OSF415-410097) This patch will fix several Bootable Tape qars. The problems are: 1) While restoring the filesystem from the tape, the filesystem size selected was not sufficient to restore the contents from the tape. 2) The information message for restoring AdvFS additional volumes was not informative. 3) The SWAP SELECTION code for attended restore was failing while restoring customized disks with not default disklabels. 4) Extra mkdir statement was printing on the terminal. 5) The error status from "mt" command was not being checked. 6) Relative path for -s filename was not being accepted by btcreate. 7) The estimated size of the root filesystem should be corrected. 8) The file systems are not mounted automatically by btcreate. 9) The reboot command does not reboot the system while booted from the tape.
