AlphaServer SC patch kit: ========================== AlphaServer SC Version : SC V2.6 UK1 Kit Name: SCV26UK13211378152 Release Date: 23-Aug-2005 WFM case: 3211378152 Quix-PCT: QXCM1000246771 Abstract: scmountd timeout connecting to srad after CAA relocation This patch must be installed on the management station and all domains. You will not need to build or deploy kernels or reboot any nodes. You do need to stop srad and scmountd temporarily while installing this patch because they cannot be replaced while they are in use. While these daemons are not running most "sra" and "scfsmgr" commands will not work. Description of Patch: ===================== Provides the following backports from SC V2.6 UK2: 1. Fixes a problem where a SIGALRM signal would be delivered unexpectedly to the scmountd daemon on the management station causing it to hang up too soon on a connection to srad in a domain where a member has just gone down. As a result the SCFS and PFS file systems would not be remounted in that domain. 2. Change the timestamp format in the srad and scmountd daemon log files to match the format used in console logs. Also indicate which domain member wrote each message. Also includes the following fix from SCV26UK13207575368: 3. Fix for a problem where sra shutdown would hang if you tried to shut down the node that is hosting the CAA service SC15srad in a particular domain.

Stop scmountd on the management station # /sbin/init.d/scmountd stop 2. Stop srad on the management station: # /sbin/init.d/sra stop or on a clustered management station: # /usr/sbin/caa_stop SC15srad 3. Stop srad on the domains: # scrun -d all /usr/sbin/caa_stop SC15srad Install on the Management Station (if Used): -------------------------------------------- # cd /nfs/SCV26UK13211378152 # setld -l /nfs/SCV26UK13211378152 SCV26UK13211378152 Install on Domains: ------------------- # cd /nfs/SCV26UK13211378152 # scrun -d all setld -l /nfs/SCV26UK13211378152 SCV26UK13211378152 To start the new daemons: ------------------------- 1. Start scmountd on the management station: # /sbin/init.d/scmountd start 2. Start srad on the management station: # /sbin/init.d/srad start or on a clustered management station: # /usr/sbin/caa_start SC15srad 3. Finally, start srad on all domains: # scrun -d all /usr/sbin/caa_start SC15srad Installation is complete at this point. You do not need to build or deploy kernels or reboot any nodes. To test the new daemons, issue a "scfsmgr sync" command and watch the progress using "scfsmgr status". ======================================================================= To remove this patch: --------------------- 1. Stop scmountd and srad on the management station and domains, following the instructions given above. 2. Remove the patch from the management station and domains. # setld -d SCV26UK13211378152 # scrun -d all setld -d SCV26UK13211378152 3. Start scmountd and srad on the management station and domains, following the instructions given above. =======================================================================
