The following problems are fixed by this patch: - Provides the ability for the Collect utility to salvage data files with missing termination records. - Provides the ability for the Collect utility to properly handle disk names with more than 7 characters. - Corrects a problem which can cause the Collect utility to die from a memory access fault on systems with a large number of AdvFS domains and filesets. - Corrects a problem which can cause collect to die with "Mini-Header out of sync" error. - incorrect CPU/RAD and memory statistics on NUMA systems; - a memory leak when run on NUMA systems; - a deficiency with the memory subsystem output report format on NUMA systems which caused cfilt/collgui to filter its input incorrectly; - a condition with the "-W" flushing option which can cause produce invalid data files or die prematurely when running in historical mode; - a situation related to Collect's LSM subsystem which can cause the utility to die when running in historical mode. In addition to fixes for the above problems, these ERP kits provide the ability for Collect to dynamically handle changes to resources such as AdvFS filesystems and disks, improved input validation, and improved syslog error logging. The Patch Kit Installation Instructions and the Patch Summary and Release Notes documents provide patch kit installation and removal instructions and a summary of each patch. Please read these documents prior to installing patches on your system. INSTALLATION NOTES: 1) Install this kit with the dupatch utility that is included in the patch kit.
