AlphaServer SC V2.5 UK1 patch kit C99480 10 April 2003. This patch contains fixes for the SCFS file system issues reported in the PTRs and/or IPMT cases listed below. PTR IPMT Abstract ======================================================================= 153-2-1040 CFS.99480 scfs found not mounted FAST after member1 reboots ======================================================================= You will need to make sysconfigtab changes, build and deploy new kernels and reboot all nodes to install this patch. This patch cannot and should not be installed on the management station. Summary of fixes: ================= 1. Provides a new version of scfsctrl that is better able to deal with large numbers of file systems. 2. Modifies mount code in scfs_client.mod to correct a problem that could lead to file systems being mounted in UBC mode instead of FAST if network timeouts occurred during the mount. 3. Adds sysconfig parameter mount_timeout to set the timeout interval between retries when an scfs client mounts a file system from a server. 4. Adds sysconfig parameter scfs_unregister_mode to control whether the scfs client unregisters file systems during unmounts. Prerequisites: ============== This patch requires AlphaServer SC V2.5 UK1. It will not work on V2.5 SSB.

Unpack it into a directory that is NFS mounted on all domains: e.g. /usr/kits/SCV25UK1C99480 and install it as follows. Install SCV25UK1C99480 from this directory: # cd /usr/kits/SCV25UK1C99480 # scrun -d all setld -l /usr/kits/SCV25UK1C99480 SCV25UK1C99480 Unless explicitly instructed otherwise by Sierra Support you should add the following to the scfs_client stanza of the sysconfigtab of every member of every domain. scfs_client: mount_timeout=20 scfs_unregister_mode=0 Now build and deploy kernels and reboot all nodes. # scrun -d all BuildKernels # scrun -d all DeployKernels # sra shutdown -nodes all # sra boot -nodes all Installation is complete at this point. ======================================================================= To remove SCV25UK1C99480 use the following commands: # scrun -d all setld -d SCV25UK1C99480 # scrun -d all BuildKernels # scrun -d all DeployKernels # sra shutdown -nodes all # sra boot -nodes all ======================================================================= SCV25UK1C99480 Sierra Engineering, 10 April 2003.
