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

• Provides support for Smart Array disk controllers. Without this patch, if the Smart
Array product is installed on the system, the SysMan Station hardware view will
fail to operate.
• Corrects the error message returned when trying to migrate striped files when the
-s option is omitted.
• Makes the following changes to the vdump, rvdump, and vrestore commands:
— Causes vdump and rvdump to report when all hard links siblings cannot be
archived through the specified path and causes them to correct the bytes to
backup estimate calculation when hard links are archived.
— Causes vdump and vrestore to act as expected upon receiving an interrupt
(^C).
— Fixes vdump and vrestore to pick up correct messages in all locales.
— Causes vdump to avoid some unnecessary function calls, thereby allowing
faster vdumps.
— Fixes vrestore to display bit file attributes with the -l option.
— Prevents vrestore from failing during a remote system call.
— Causes vrestore to display a file and directory name along with the error
message when the command fails to set a property list.
— Prevents vrestore from dumping core when a tape has a smaller blocksize than
expected.
— Allows vrestore to handle no-rewind tapes properly.
— Lets vrestore read environment variables for a user-defined device name.
— Allows attributes to set to the top level-directory.
— Disallow block sizes greater than 64 K. (This was a new feature added in Patch
Kit 2 which caused forward compatibility problems.)
— Causes files of less than 512 bytes to be properly backed up.
— Corrects a cluster drd bandwidth problem that occurs when a restore is
attempted via a private tape drive that is not on the current node.
— Corrects a condition that could cause the misinterpretation of the archive version
in certain locales, causing vrestore to abort.
• Corrects several problems with the fixfdmn utility:
— Shortens the time it can take to repair large AdvFS file domains.
— Improves the capability of fixfdmn to fix invalid extent data.
— Improves the secure handling of temporary files by fixfdmn.
— Allows fixfdmn to repair a rare on-disk structure problem with directories.
This condition only shows up on a domains with multiple volume in which
property lists are used.
— Improves the ability of fixfdmn to fix on-disk structure version 3 domains.
— Fixes several rare cases where fixfdmn could either fail to correct a domain or
incorrectly make changes to a valid domain.
