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

See pmgrd(8) for more details.
3.2.1.8.2 New Features Added to collect Utility
The following features have been added to the collect utility, which is updated from Version
2.0.0 to 2.0.5:
• AdvFS monitoring capability. (See “Enhancements to pmgrd Daemon and collect Utility”
for a list of AdvFS metrics that are monitored.)
Enables collect to report AdvFS volume I/O queue and fileset vnode operation statistics.
You can specify the domain or fileset to be monitored, using the -A option.
• Viewing CPU and memory metrics on a per Resource Affinity Domain (RAD) basis.
When run on a NUMA platform, enables collect to automatically retrieve CPU and
memory metrics for each RAD.
See collect(8) for more details.
3.2.1.9 File System Management Applications Enhanced
Enhancements to the SysMan Menu file system management applications delivered in this patch
kit significantly improve their performance.
3.2.1.10 New Control Option for /usr/sbin/audit_tool Command
This kit provides the following new control option for the /usr/sbin/audit_tool command:
# /usr/sbin/audit_tool -. [path]
This option causes audit_tool to use [path] for the archive/recovery directory that
contains archived audit logs, thereby overriding the directory specified in the audit log, which
by default is /var/audit.
3.2.1.11 Change to envmond Improves Performance on Some Systems
This patch kit modifies the Environmental Monitoring daemon, envmond, to improve performance
on systems with many sensors.
With the default monitor period of envmond (ENVMON_MONITOR_PERIOD), systems having
large number of sensors may experience a performance degradation. The changes to envmond
address this problem by polling sensors at a lower frequency.
3.2.2 Release Notes Introduced in Prior Kits
The release notes in this section were included in prior Version 5.1B kits.
3.2.2.1 SIA sialog Use Limitation Required
The Security Integration Architecture (SIA) sialog logging process is only intended for use in
debugging SIA problems. It should not be enabled for extended periods of time. Doing so can
cause login delays or other problems.
Use the audit subsystem to monitor authentications on the system, not the sialog process
To disable sialog debug logging, delete the /var/adm/sialog file. For more information,
see the sialog(4) and sia_log(3) reference pages and the Tru64 UNIX Security Programming manual.
Note that when used in a TruCluster Server cluster, the sialog file is a cluster-wide file.
3.2.2.2 Change to executable_data Attribute Requires Running Script
Prior to setting the tunable attribute executable_data to a non-zero value, you must run the
following script:
# /usr/sbin/javaexecutedata
