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

• Corrects a potential system crash when shutting down after using a DAPBA or DAPCA
ATM adapter.
• Prevents an IDE bus hang caused when issuing a play audio track command from scu to an
ATAPI CD-ROM containing an enhanced CD.
• Installs Version 1.08 of the ciss driver.
• Fixes a problem with non-U.S. USB keyboards used in non-U.S. locales in which the keyboards
are treated as U.S. keyboards by the operating system.
• Fixes various problems in the bcm driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet that can cause crashes.
• Corrects a problem in the marvel_pfm driver where xmesh and bmesh incorrectly reported
100 percent utilization for IO7 ports held in reset. Previously, this had to be corrected by
using the mvfi test program.
• Makes it possible for CPUs that do not take interrupts (either directly from the attached IO7
or indirectly from IO7s attached to offlined CPU) to always be allowed to be offlined.
• Verifies path structures in ctape_ioctl and ctape_generic_passthru to prevent a kernel memory
fault if the tape was opened with FNDELAY flag set.
• Prevents a recursive panic situation on the ES47 platform when a double bit memory error
is detected.
• Corrects a condition to prevents erroneous “ccfg_MakeDeviceIdentWWID: Invalid device
ID” messages from being generated.
• Fixes a problem that may cause a panic if the Xserver is stopped.
• Fixes a process hang in ubc_common_lookup.
• Corrects a problem in which the BBR code logs all error messages as soft error, even if the
error was not recovered and it failed to do the bad block replacement.
• Fixes a condition that causes a rare hang in the hardware configuration subsystem.
• 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.
