	Id = HSLco12499
	    OmniBack II raw backup fails on Irix 6.x if the
	    capacity of the raw device is bigger than 2GB.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_21329:
	Id = JAGac39954
	    OmniBack II does not correctly resolve "=" sign in a
	    mountpoint name.

	Resolution:
	    Fix is implemented in backup disk agent.

	Id = NSMex02169
	    When restoring the directories with an "overwrite"
	    option, ACL's are not restored correctly.

	Resolution:
	    Directory ACL's are restored correctly.

	Id = NSMex02961
	    AIX systems have limited file size on the system
	    (ulimit). Because of this limitation OmniBack II is
	    not able to create file larger than ulimit value.

	Resolution:
	    OB2_SETULIMIT variable is introduced. When set to 1,
	    restore sets ulimit to unlimited and successfully
	    restores large files.

	Id = NSMex02893
	    If a system has a lot of mount points, it can happen
	    that the mount table is not updated fast enough. In
	    such cases OmniBack II can not successfully resolve
	    mount points, so it fails.

	Resolution:
	    Two new OmniBack II variables are introduced:
	    OB2CHKMOUNTSLEEP and OB2CHKMOUNTRETRY. Resolving of
	    mount point is retried OB2CHKMOUNTRETRY times with a
	    timeout of OB2MOUNTSLEEP seconds.

	    Part of the SSPUX300_099.

	PHSS_20115:
	Id = HSLco17608, HSLco17609
	    An user could obtain unauthorized access on an OmniBack
	    II client host.

	Resolution:
	    The problem with unauthorized access has been fixed.

	Id = HSLco15414
	    FSBRDA crashes on a system with DCE installed and EFS
	    share mounted when trying to prepare host backup
	    specification and browsing the system via GUI.

	Resolution:
	    Loop conditions changed.

	PHSS_18678:
	Id = NSMex02422
	    Uninitialized structure leaves filesystem mountpoint
	    string non-empty in case the mountpoint is not
	    specified, which leads to the filesystem not being
	    backed up.

	Resolution:
	    Filesystem mountpoint string initialized
	    to empty string as default.

	Id = NSMex02398
	    Disk agent record contains section name for rawdisk
	    backup. Sometimes, the name gets corrupted and the
	    restore disk agent is not able to restore the section.
	    Part of SSPUX300_075

	Resolution:
	    Section name corruption prevented.

	Id = NSMex02237
	    Disk Agent Record format has been changed
	    slightly from A.02.10 to A.03.00.
	    Part of SSPUX300_056

	Resolution:
	    Restore disk agent capable of handling
	    old record format.

	Id = HSLco14681
	    A file is selected for full backup, if its
	    creation time is bigger than 0. This doesn't
	    include files with creation time 0.

	Resolution:
	    Disk agent now includes files with
	    creation time 0 for backup.

	Id = NSMex02210
	    Because of an error in the code, VXFS cannot be
	    backed up on NCR system.

	Resolution:
	    Fix in the code especialy for NCR.

	Id = NSMex02058, NSMex02172
	    Installation of any of the following patches causes
	    failures of OmniBack II OmniStorage Integration disk
	    agents: PHSS_16585, PHSS_15731 or PHSS_16429.

	    The patches replace some shared libraries (aC++, DCE)
	    needed by OmniBack II agents. Read 'Special Installation
	    Instrcutions' below for detailed instructions on how
	    to enable the fixed binaries.
	    Part of SSPUX300_025, SSPUX300_033, SSPUX300_049.

	Resolution:
	    New binaries have been relinked with the
	    libraries from the listed patches.

	Id = NSMex02224
	    ".door" file type is a special file type on Solaris 2.6
	    or higher, and OmniBack II is not capable of backing up
	    such files.

	    Part of SSPUX300_064
	Resolution:
	    The '.door' files on Solaris 2.6 or higher are
	    now backed up like FIFO files. Only special file is
	    backed up and no bindings or threads related to it are
	    saved. During the restore, fattach() function is used
	    to bind dummy door file descriptor with object on
	    filesystem name space.

	Id = NSMex02075
	    The problem is caused by a failure of afs_syscall()
	    function of DCE API when trying to read ACL list from
	    a file or directory.

	    Part of SSPUX300_058
	Resolution:
	    A wrapper function around afs_syscall() when
	    reading ACLs makes sure we handle the result correctly.

	Id = NSMex01919, NSMex02474
	    Nvbda tries to close the same file twice (this has been
	    a requirement in previous OmniStorage versions), and
	    this results in an error.

	Resolution:
	    A file is now closed only once, which is enough.

	PHSS_17311:
	Id = NSMbb21590
	    The number of ACLs hardcoded to 15 causes OmniBackII
	    not being able to restore files with 16 ACLs correctly.
	Resolution:
	    The number of ACLs per file changed to 16.

	Id = NSMex01880
	    In some circumstances, the restore can change
	    permission attributes of a directory to 777. This is
	    not OK, since this enables anyone to access it.
	Resolution:
	    Vrda now correctly sets the access permissions of
	    files.

	Id = NSMex01990
	    The nvbda and nvrda executables are not linked
	    with OmniStorage 3.0 libraries. This causes them
	    to core dump.
	    Part of SSPUX300_025.
	Resolution:
	    OmniStorage integration binaries linked with
	    OST 3.0 libraries.

	Id = NSMex01919
	    At the end of backup, nvbda tries to close
	    an invalid file handle - functionality remained
	    from older OmniStorage library versions, where
	    every file had to be closed twice.
	    Part of SSPUX300_026.
	Resolution:
	    Change in the code, and relink with newest OST
	    library.

	Id = NSMex02051
	    Problem occurs if PreExec or PostExec script
	    forks, and parent process dies before child
	    process.
	    Part of SSPUX300_047.
	Resolution:
	    Relation between dad and forked child improved.

	Id = HSLco13219
	    Omnistream duplicates the warning messages to stdout,
	    although they have already been written to stderr.
	    Part of SSPUX300_037.
	Resolution:
	    Use correct filehandle (stderr) for warning messages.

	Id = HSLco12499
	    Ioctl function returns zero, when obtaining the raw
	    disk size, if the disk is bigger than 2Gb on
	    IRIX 6.x.
	    Part of SSPUX300_053.
	Resolution:
	    Disk agent now detects the disk size by seeking to
	    the end of disk, using the binary search technique.

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. 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 PHSS_21329

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_21329.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_21329.  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 PHSS_21329.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/PHSS_21329.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	PHSS_21329:
	NOTE!
	Patch has to be installed on the Installation Server host.

	The Disk Agent packets must be redistributed
	to the Cell Manager system and client systems
	afterwards to get the fixes into effect.


	NOTE!
	OmniStorage 3.0 integration has been introduced
	with the patch PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679. By default,
	agents for OmniStorage 3.0 are installed when
	pushing the OST integration packets to the OST
	client. There are also agent for OST 2.2 included,
	and this is the procedure for configuring OB2
	with OST 2.2 agents, after the OST has been
	redistributed to the OST client system from the
	OB2 installation server:

	    # cd /opt/omni/lbin
	    # mv nvbda nvbda_3.0
	    # mv nvrda nvrda_3.0
	    # cp nvbda_2.2 nvbda
	    # cp nvrda_2.2 nvrda


	NOTE!
	In order to solve the issue with Id = NSMex02224 the
	following steps should be taken after pushing the DA
	package to the Solaris 2.6 system (to preserve the
	old binaries and make the fix effective):

	    # cd /usr/omni/bin
	    # mv vbda vbda.orig
	    # mv vrda vrda.orig
	    # mv fsbrda fsbrda.orig
	    # cp vbda_2.6 vbda
	    # cp vrda_2.6 vrda
	    # cp fsbrda_2.6 fsbrda


	NOTE!
	Disk Agent on Sequent Dynix 4.4.2 is introduced with
	PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679.


	NOTE
	Disk Agent on SGI IRIX 6.5 is introduced with
	PHSS_18678/PHSS_18679. Before push installation
	to SGI IRIX 6.5 you have to install also the latest
	OB2  patch for CORE fileset. This is currently
	PHSS_18680/PHSS_18681.
