• JAGab66302
Symptoms: This is an enhancement to zmasterd to accept .answ file on cold start.
Defect/Fix: zmasterd now accepts a .answ file on cold start and runs ttgen itself, as well as
being able to cold start from a .tmem file. This involves making changes in zmon such that
it can accept a .answ file for cold start, and run tt gen internally.
• JAGad00600
Symptoms: "zmasterd deact znode" does not kill the znode daemon.
Defect/Fix: "zmasterd deact znode" left znode still running, whereas "zmasterd deact
zmlog" removes zmlog from the run state.
The problem was occurring because the znode daemon was ignoring the SIGTERM signal.
Code has been modified so that the znode daemon no longer ignores the SIGTERM signal.
• JAGad02457
Symptoms: The interface tunable tsize parameter for the E1/T1 cards and Z7340A 8-port
PCI has i nadequate editing in ttgen and checking in the firmware, and an incorrect value
such as 1 can cause a firm ware failure.
Defect/Fix: The minimum allowable value is 8 bytes. This would allow the header only,
with no t imers. The actual value must be a multiple of 8 bytes. Each timer entry occupies 8
bytes, in addition to the header. Interface tunable "tsize" has been fixed to be multiple of 8;
and minimum 8.
• JAGad04280
Symptoms: DSC card control (startup/disable) does not work.
Defect/Fix: While doing DSC card-config tests (zconfig), it was found that the system shuts
down a card even when a DSC card-startup or card-disable request is issued.
The reason for the above problem is that some "break" statements were missing in the
switch statement in dsc_card() function of LDM code. It also misses out the setting of
"irr.reason" to indicate different reasons for card disable or halt.
