HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-5 Patch Summary and Release Notes (March 2009)

• Resolves a problem in which some DE50x network interface cards, under specific
circumstances, may not send gratuitous arp packets.
• Fixes the re_ioctl() cases DIODCMD and DIODCDB where cmd transfer size has
been changed to avoid kernel memory fault.
• Changes the fwupgrade command to allow the specified firmware update image
to be located on a BOOTP server in a connected network.
• Suppresses an erroneous console warning message that may be provided when
cluster root is under LSM control. The warning "WARNING: cluster root devices
are on private buses!" may be erroneously output when cluster root is under LSM
control. LSM does not support such configurations.
• Fixes a problem in which the CAM I/O subsystem can cause a kernel memory fault
or system hang when the subsystem is low on memory.
• Installs Version 1.09 of the ciss driver.
• Installs Version 1.10 of the ciss driver.
• Modifies console callback code to allow users to use upper and lower case variable
names for known console environment variables. This patch is required for update
installations on EV7 based platforms.
• Corrects the creation of console boot device strings for devices on subordinate
buses.
• Fixes the garbage character that sometimes appears when requesting the name of
a boot device via consvar.
• Fixes several problems in the bcm driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet adapters,
including the following:
— A condition that causes the driver to incorrectly report data overruns.
— A condition that prevents DEGX2-SA modules from being recognized.
• Fixes two problems in the tu driver for DE5xx 10/100 MB Ethernet adapters.
• Clarifies the "LIDs do not match" error message by displaying the values that do
not match.
• Corrects a race condition that may result in hung disks under certain circumstances,
for example, after a SCSI reset.
• Corrects problems in which tape devices become unavailable, do not respond,
report unrecoverable errors, or cause a kernel memory fault.
• Corrects problems in the aha_chim driver that could result in bus hangs, panics
and inappropriate access of freed memory during high rate of bus resets.
• Modifies the changer device driver so that it reports the manufacturer ID attribute
as could be seen with the hwmgr -view devices command.
• Fixes a problem in the alt driver that prevents DEGPA from being used with DE50x
or DE60x adapters in a LAG set.
• Fixes the cause of the panic “dg: unwiring.”
