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

• Enables SmartArray 5300 controller hardware events to be logged to the binary.errlog during
boot time. This is useful in diagnosing logical volume state change and physical drive
hotswaps that can occur while the system in not booted.
• Fixes a simple lock panic in the floppy diskette driver.
• Prevents the memory troller from starting on titan and tsunami platforms with aluminum
ev68 CPUs.
• Fixes a problem with the Smart Array driver that could cause a system hang to occur during
error recovery when I/O is active.
• Fixes a consvar -s bootdef_dev failure with KZPCC.
• Corrects a problem in which systems configured with VX1 graphics card do not return to
console when the halt button is pressed, thereby making the console is then unusable.
• Adds an event to indicate that the soft or hard error count has changed on the device
identified in the event.
• Corrects a potential deadlock in the hardware configuration subsystem.
• Fixes a problem where, when using hwmgr to delete a component, a "DELETE_COMMIT:
Cannot fetch name." message may be displayed on the console. This problem can be seen
frequently in a cluster environment when the component being deleted does not exist on
the system.
• Fixes numerous issues in the driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet adapters, including the
DS25 onboard 10/100/1000 port.
• Corrects a problem in which incorrect values for LONG_MAX and LONG_MIN were
displayed when using the hardware manager to show attributes.
• Introduces type checking of attributes when registering components with the hardware
manager.
• Corrects a problem where after entering a hwmgr -redirect SCSI command and rebooting,
the system only boots to single user mode with the following error displayed:
bcheckrc: Device Naming failed boot configure or verify
Please correct the problem and continue or reboot INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
• Corrects invalid hwmgr show component inconsistency.
• Addresses a problem encountered when mounting cluster root if the cluster root domain
devices are private to different cluster members. Currently, you cannot boot your cluster.
It will hang. With this fix, your cluster will boot with a warning to the console. This
configuration is not recommended; however the cluster should not be unbootable. Currently,
this is with respect to non-LSM cluster root domains.
• Prevents the hardware management cluster database from being reset.
• Adds IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support for the following:
— DEGPA
— DEGXA
— DE50x, lan_common.h
— DE60x
• Removes a restriction in which dynamic VMEbus device drivers can probe only one controller
per driver.
• Corrects a potential floating point register inconsistency.
• Corrects 3D client hangs when using the Radeon graphics card.
• Corrects a problem in which a kernel memory fault sometimes occurs if a USB keyboard or
mouse does not respond quickly enough. This KMF can occur during boot or soon after a
USB keyboard or mouse is connected. Any device can trigger this, though it is neither
predictable nor common.
