Patch Name: PHNE_11898 Patch Description: s700 10.20 STREAMS cumulative patch including XTI/TLI Creation Date: 97/07/23 Post Date: 97/07/25 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: Streams.STREAMS-RUN Streams.STREAMS-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHNE_11898: PANIC PHNE_9059: PANIC PHNE_8492: PANIC Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHNE_11898 Symptoms: PHNE_11898: hpstreams_option1 panics because of an uninitialized variable PHNE_10521: t_snd() reports incorect number of bytes sent when in asynchronous mode (O_NONBLOCK is set) and TFLOW occurs. PHNE_9059: When using high-speed networking it is possible to have the streams stack call back into itself multiple times. If the drivers and modules in use have a deep execution stack then the kernel stack size may be exceeded resulting in a panic. PHNE_8492: In an environment where multiple streams are being built and torn down rapidly a panic can occur in the STREAMS code. Defect Description: PHNE_11898: Drivers calling uprintf could cause a panic under certain circumstances because of an uninitialized variable. PHNE_10521: XTI and TLI applications may experience apparent data corruption. This occurs only when the application sends data using t_snd in asynchronous mode (O_NONBLOCK is set) and t_snd returns fewer bytes than passed, with t_errno set to TFLOW. In this case, the number of bytes reported to have been sent is incorrect. PHNE_9059: This problem was found with drivers and modules that employ a very deep execution stack PHNE_8492: In a situation where a STREAM is being closed, there is a window where other STREAM activity taking place on behalf of a different user process can cause the machine to panic.

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 PHNE_11898 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_11898.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/PHNE_11898.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/PHNE_11898. 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 PHNE_11898.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/PHNE_11898.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
