Patch Name: PHCO_13984 Patch Description: s700_800 10.01 fixes dump(1M) handling of active files Creation Date: 98/02/02 Post Date: 98/02/02 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.01 s800: 10.01 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.SYS-ADMIN Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_13984 Symptoms: PHCO_13984: 1. dump does not actually backup files that are been modified between the beginning of a dump session and the time dump reaches that file. 2. dump's date message at the end of a dump session is misleading, printing the dump date rather than the ending date of the dump session. 3. dump has a misleading "tape rewinding" message at the end of each session, which may not apply in the case of non-rewinding tape devices. Defect Description: PHCO_13984: 1. dump had code which explicitly excluded files that were modified since the beginning of the dump session. This prevented all such files from being backed up -- even if the changes to those files were complete by the time dump reached them. 2. dump's message at the end of the dump was intended to show the "dump date", the date from which dump bases its backup decisions. The wording of this message was somewhat misleading. 3. dump's "tape rewinding" message was printed regardless of the type of tape device used, and would even display when the tape was not rewinding (e.g. in the case of a non-rewinding tape device file).

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 PHCO_13984 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_13984.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/PHCO_13984.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/PHCO_13984. 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 PHCO_13984.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/PHCO_13984.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
