PHCO_8671: Fixed infinite loop query when fbackup is run via a cron job and errors occur requesting operator input to fix the error. It previously went into an infinite loop because no terminal session was connected, now it aborts the fbackup session. PHCO_7272: fbackup/frecover previously did not recognize the DLT tape device as a valid backup device. The DLT tape device will be recognized as a valid 1/2 inch mag tape backup device without save set marks. PHCO_7271: See PHCO_7272. PHCO_6737: frecover core dumps if the filename in the index contains carriage returns. PHCO_6736: See PHCO_6737. PHCO_6638: - frecover does not give any message if a file could not be restored. The restored file is currently being executed, busy. - frecover -m error "unexpected DDS marker read" on 10.0x DDS drives. The error message "frecover(2112): unexpected DDS marker read" is generated several times. - frecover(1052): cannot unlink ./sh occurred for the hard linked files, such as /bin/rsh, /bin/rksh, /etc/telinit etc. - frecover fails when the file size increases 2GB. The error message "frecover(1048): I/O error in write of file is generated. PHCO_6193: frecover(5403): Unable to open or identify device at error message returned if the archive media is write protected.

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_8968 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_8968.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_8968.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_8968. 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_8968.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_8968.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
