AlphaServer SC patch kit:
==========================

AlphaServer SC 2.6 SSB
Kit Name: SCV26SSB107370
Release Date: 05/13/2004
PTR: 153-2-1424
IPMT Number: CFS.107370
Abstract: Jobs submitted via RMS api not cleaned up properly after node crash

This patch does not contain any kernel mods so you do not have to build or
deploy kernels or reboot any nodes to install it.

It provides a new version of pmanager, which cannot be replaced while it is
in use, so you will have to stop and start all RMS processes to install it.
This procedure is outlined below.


Description of Patch:
=====================
1. Fixes a problem in pmanager which could cause it to fail to close the
   connection to a third party job scheduler after deallocating a resource
   that was originally created through the RMS api.

2. Minor fix to a pmanager error message. One argument to printf was being
   omitted so the error text was always (null). For example:

   pmanager[parallel]: Warning: failed to deallocate resource 1104880768: (null)

   This did not cause pmanager any problems but made the error message meaningless.

This kit also contains the following fix from SCV26SSB105292:

3. A change to pmanager to ensure that the core-file directories are created
   with the correct ownership. i.e. the second argument to rms_createResource()
   which specifies the user id on whose behalf the resource should be allocated.

Instructions:
=============
This patch is provided as a setld installable kit.  Unpack it
into a directory that is NFS mounted on all domains e.g.
/usr/kits/<kit name> and install it as follows:

1. Stop Partitions, e.g.

    # rcontrol stop partition=parallel


2. Stop RMS on all nodes:

    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "CluCmd /sbin/init.d/rms stop"


3. Stop RMS and msql on Management Server 

    # /sbin/init.d/rms stop
    # /sbin/init.d/msqld stop


4. Install on Management Server:

    # /usr/sbin/setld -l <path-to-kit> SCV26SSB107370


5. Start RMS and msql on Management Server:

    # /sbin/init.d/msqld start
    # /sbin/init.d/rms start


6. Install across all domains, eg:

    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "/usr/sbin/setld -l <path-to-kit> SCV26SSB107370"


7. Start RMS on all nodes eg:

    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "CluCmd /sbin/init.d/rms start"


8. Restart partitions e.g.

    # rcontrol start partition=parallel


--------
To remove the patch use the following steps:

1. Stop Partitions e.g.
    # rcontrol stop partition=parallel 

2. Stop RMS on all nodes:
    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "CluCmd /sbin/init.d/rms stop"

3. Delete across all domains:
    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "/usr/sbin/setld -d  SCV26SSB107370"

4. Stop RMS and msql on Management Server:
    # /sbin/init.d/rms stop
    # /sbin/init.d/msqld stop

5. Delete from Management Server:
    # /usr/sbin/setld -d SCV26SSB107370

7. Start RMS and msql on Management Server 
    # /sbin/init.d/msqld start
    # /sbin/init.d/rms start

8. Start RMS on all nodes:
    # sra command -domains all -m 1 -command "CluCmd /sbin/init.d/rms start"

9. Restart partitions e.g.
    # rcontrol start partition=parallel
