PROBLEM: (84422, 87576, 87802, 90472, 92015, 93597) (PATCH ID: OSF520-658) ******** This patch fixes many problems with dsfmgr including: command argument parsing, messages and error handling. This patch makes all release versions of dsfmgr functionally the same. Problems: - an illegal input argument causes a core dump This usually occurs when no arguments are entered. - improper error handling by the stat function during boot dsfmgr fails with: dsfmgr: NOTE: creating device special files for system at / dsfmgr: ERROR: stat( "/dev/disk/dsk19a" ) = kernel database - duplicate device ID's +dsk19a /sbin/dn_setup: 1573120 Memory fault - core dumped - the move/exchange may cause data errors This occurs when it encountered a partial set of device nodes. - during boot the following message is seen: ============================= Problem occurred again while booting all nodes of the cluster. The problem occurred on two nodes: tcr6b: Checking device naming: ERROR : DEC_CHW_COMP : /etc/dec_hwc_cdb: invalid database size. Is 412648, sb 412408. ERROR : DEC_CHW_COMP : /etc/dec_hwc_cdb.bak: invalid backup size. Is 412648, sb 412408. bcheckrc: Device Naming failed initial check. Correct errors and then continue or reboot. ============================= This can be caused by a file update during the dsfmgr read of the file. Nothing is wrong and a ^D (ctrl D) will continue the boot again. This fix will detect this senerio and the system will boot without any operator intervention.
