Patch Name: PHKL_12997 Patch Description: s700 10.20 2GB->4GB dump dev size limit for HSC F/W SCSI Creation Date: 97/10/28 Post Date: 97/11/07 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_12997 Symptoms: PHKL_12997: When dump is configured past 2GB on a device connected to a HSC F/W SCSI interface card, the device fails to configure: WARNING: Dump space on device cannot be configured past 2097151 bytes. Device skipped. Defect Description: PHKL_12997: The HSC F/W SCSI card was not being identified as an interface capable of addressing in the 2GB->4GB range. To reproduce, simply attach a >2GB disk to an HSC F/W SCSI interface and put a >2GB file system on the device. Leave enough room at the end of the disk for dump space and attempt to configure dump on the device to start between 2GB-4GB.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHKL_12997 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_12997.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHKL_12997.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_12997. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHKL_12997.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHKL_12997.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
