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

3.2.1.19 Environment Variable Improves btcreate Kernel Build
This kit provides the means to allow the btcreate command to build the kernel with
all options.
Currently, if the kernel built with the current system configuration exceeds the firmware
limit, btcreate will remove all options except DVDFS and CDFS. If the newly built
kernel with CDFS and DVDFS also fails, btcreate then builds a kernel with mandatory
options alone.
To build a kernel with all options, run btcreate by setting the following environment
variable:
BTCREATE_MODE=VER-1-1
See the revised btcreate(8) reference page delivered in this kit for more information.
3.2.1.20 New Variable Aids Performance of AdvFS Administration Commands
A new rc.config variable, ADVFSD, lets you control the boot time invocation of the
advfsd daemon. This daemon is not necessary unless you are running the AdvFS
graphical interface dtadvfs. Disabling advfsd from starting results in a better
performance of AdvFS administration commands. See “Stopping Daemons May Speed
Administration Performance” for more information about this problem.
The following list provides information on using the ADVFSD variable to disable and
enable the advfsd daemon on different types of systems:
• Run the following command to disable the advfsd daemon at boot time on a
stand-alone system:
# /usr/sbin/rcmgr set ADVFSD "no"
• Run the following command on any cluster member to disable the advfsd daemon
at boot time on all members of a cluster:
# /usr/sbin/rcmgr -c set ADVFSD "no"
• Run the following command to enable the advfsd daemon at boot time on a
stand-alone system:
# /usr/sbin/rcmgr delete ADVFSD
• Run the following command on any cluster member to enable the advfsd daemon
at boot time on all members of a cluster:
# /usr/sbin/rcmgr -c delete ADVFSD
3.2.1.21 New ftpd Command Option Prevents Login Delays
A new option to the File Transfer Protocol server daemon, (ftpd -n ), can prevent
login delays and time-outs in an environment where host name resolution is sluggish.
It does this by disabling reverse lookups of remote host names.
This option is documented in the revised ftpd(8) included in this kit.
