HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1.B-4 Patch Summary and Release Notes (13156)

• Corrects an internationalization problem in which an instructional message that is output
by the LSM voldiskadm command's list option is incorrect because it had not been entered
properly in the message catalog.
• Improves null partition checking code.
• Modifies the volassist command to correctly output a warning message for its shrink
operations.
• Enables a full recovery to occur in the event of an invalid magic number found in the recovery
map.
• Corrects a problem in which the volplex command does not send a disk group option to the
usage type utility when both the usage type and disk group options are specified on the
command line.
• Allows a mirrored swap plex to be detached when it contains a phantom subdisk.
• Corrects a problem in which vold may dump core when connectivity to a disk group is lost,
for example its underlying storage is local to one cluster member and that cluster member
leaves the cluster.
• Modifies volsave and volrestore to let them handle public and private offsets of an LSM
disk.
• Causes LSM tol issue an error if a nonroot user tries to run the volencap command.
• Decreases CLSM boot times in large cluster configurations.
• Fixes problems in vol_new_disk ioctl when errors are encountered when loading a disk in
the kernel.
• Fixes a problem with the disk group loglen getting set to 0 when adding a disk to a non-rootdg
disk group.
• Fixes an LSM problem in which device failures may not be handled properly in a cluster.
This is with respect to devices discovered from a previous configuration. The result could
be a diskgroup deport.
• Fixes a vold threads problem in which LSM devices may be incorrectly recorded as disk
clones where LSM starts up,
• Provides a new LSM EVM event, which is posted when LSM is processing clusterwide plex
detaches.
• Modifies LSM to ensure that AdvFS volume links are not required to be named the same as
the device they point to.
• Corrects a problem in which the dsfmgr command does not notify LSM of certain disk
changes With this fix, the procure for replacing a failed boot disk under LSM control should
work as described in Section 6.4.6 of the Logical Storage Manager manual without generating
the error message “lsm:voldisk: ERROR: Device dskxf: define failed.”
• Corrects a condition that causes the incorrect use of the volmigrate and volunmigrate
commands to return success instead of failure.
• Fix a problem in voldisk moddb that can cause a disk group to become unusable.
• Enhances CLSM performance during boot and disk scanning.
• Fixes a problem in voldisk moddb that can cause a disk group to become unusable.
• Fixes the voldiskadm utility to correctly remove a disk for replacement.
• Fixes a problem whereby LSM mirrored volumes are erroneously left in the SYNC state
after a cluster member failure and simultaneous underlying disk storage failure.
• Fixes an error in dissociating swapvol/rootvol plexes.
• Corrects incorrect error messages generated by the voldctl command. With this fix, if voldctl
disable fails, the error message returned will be “disable failed” and if voldctl license fails,
the error message will be “license check failed.”
• Corrects a problem to ensure the correct calculation of subdisk offsets in a plex when
associating subdisks to a plex using the volsd command.
• Corrects a problem with non-rootdg disk groups disappearing.
