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

• Improves error handling and I/O timing.
• Fixes hangs that can occur prior to disk spinups.
• Improves system recovery when media errors occur.
• Eliminates a condition that causes a panic to occur when removing sensors on a ES47 system.
• Fixes a problem with HSG80 controllers due to bad count for persistent reservation keys.
• Improves the performance of systems that perform heavy file I/O.
• Changes the way that memory is marked as bad on the AlphaServer GS1280 in order to
prevent a recursive crash on reboots. (A crash is expected as a result of a double-bit-memory
error machine check.)
• Fixes the errant binary.errlog entry "Status = CMP but resid not NULL Possible Software
Problem - Impossible Cond Detected" from the peripheral disk, tape, and changer drivers.
• Updates the ee driver to V1.0.27 to fix issues with IPv6 and SNMP
• Corrects a potential race condition in the cam_tape driver.
• Fixes a problem that causes a system to hang when swapping.
• Corrects the cause of a simple lock timeout panic during I/O barriers.
• Adds path failure detection to the Emulex Fibre Channel driver for situations involving
hung N_Ports of a storage controller in a switched fabric environment.
• Corrects the cause of a system crash that occurs when deleting disks using hwmgr.
• Fixes the cause of certain panics by increasing the timeout for CPU onlines.
• Provides better error handling for the MSA1000.
• Fixes a problem in which a node does not properly find the server for a disk but incorrectly
fails an open with ENODEV.
• Installs Version 1.13 of the ciss driver.
• Provides changes that allow for the proper usage of Smart Array controllers that are behind
PCI bridges.
• Provides support for new PCI svid for the ATM controllers 155 mmf, 155 utp, and 622 mmf.
• Fixes the 'hwmgr edit scsi command.
• Fixes the cause of a "Simple lock owned" panic seen on a KZPEA during a cluster boot.
• Updates the bcm driver to V1.0.23 to fix issues with Jumbo frames.
• Corrects a condition in which the firmware FRU table and Configuration Tree are not logged
to binary errorlog during boot on AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 systems with less than 4
GB of memory.
• Fixes the cause of a system crash that occurs when running with lockmode=4.
• Corrects a problem in which the hwmgr command's display of DS15 environmental sensors
may indicate that they are in the warning state when they are actually in the fault state.
• Corrects a condition that prevents setting a high temperature threshold (warn and fault) for
hwmgr and envmond on DS15.
• Fixes a potential disk-identification delay when doing disk cloning.
• Corrects a problem in which the hwmgr -delete command can cause a panic when directed
at a sensor.
• Adds a ddr flag to prevent failing I/O when ASCQ_LUN_NRDY_MAN are received from
HSZ devices.
• Adds read/write ability to XP control ports.
• Corrects a problem with a sensor error that can indicate a false over-temperature condition
on DS10/DS10L and TS10 systems.
• Fixes a kernel memory fault panic problem with the KZPCC RAID adapter.
• Fixes a panic that can occur during asynchronous event notification by a mass storage driver.
• Corrects a problem in which AlphaServer GS1280/ES80/ES47 systems may report false
over-temperature conditions if the temperature drops to (or below) 9 degrees Celsius (48
F).
