PROBLEM: (QAR 45730 and QAR 46647) (Patch ID: OSF415-400066) ******** DDR partially builds some device records. This problem is extremely hard to detect, as the creation of device records usually happens silently in the kernel as it encounters new devices. Symptoms of this error may be slight oddities in device behavior. Unfortunately, the extent to which behavior is affected cannot be predicted. The problem can be seen most easily by executing the following: Invoke "ddr_config -s disk DEC RZ28B". The (failing) output should look as follows: Building Device Information for: Type = disk Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28" TagQueueDepth = 0x4a The (correct) output should look as follows: Building Device Information for: Type = disk Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28" TagQueueDepth = 0x4a Applying Modifications from Device Record for : Vendor ID: "DEC" Product ID: "RZ28B" TagQueueDepth = 0x40 PROBLEM: (QAR 45730 and QAR 46647) (Patch ID: OSF415-400066) ******** The "ddr_config -x" option fails to compile a cam_data.c file from a version prior to Digital UNIX v4.0. The following error messages will be reported: ddr_config.ORIG: Line 3233: Syntax Error ddr_config.ORIG: Line 3233: Failed parsing DENSITY_TBL entry Conversion of /sys/data/cam_data.c failed. Line numbers are relative to the temporary file /tmp/cam_data.tmp Looking at the /tmp/cam_data.tmp file, the error occurs between two records separated by a comma. For example: TYPE Record_A = { .... }, <----- fails here Record_B = { ... }; PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF415-020) ******** Provides latent support for TZS20. See the DIGITAL UNIX and TruCluster "Patch Summary and Release Notes for Patch Kit-???" for more information on the TZS20 tape devices. PROBLEM: (QAR 52217, QAR 54680) (Patch ID: OSF415-405376) ******** The maximum block size (MaxTransferSize) for "unknown" tape devices specified in the /etc/ddr.dbase file was previously limited to 64 kilobytes. This would cause applications, such as back-up utilities, to fail if a block size of greater than 64 kilobytes was specified. This patch modifies the value of MaxTransferSize to 16 megabytes to support devices and applications that can support larger block sizes.
