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

The change to the following voliod command produces an error and the number of LSM kernel
I/O daemons remain unchanged:
# voliod -f set 0
lsm:voliod: ERROR: VOL_IO_DAEMON_SET failed: Permission denied
3.2.2.16 Possible Problem when Processing Many Command Parameters
When running commands or scripts that must process a large amount of command parameters,
your system may hang or you may see an error similar to this: /sbin/ls: arg list too
long.
If this occurs, try rerunning the command or script after entering the following command to
relax the command-line limits:
# sysconfig -r proc exec_disable_arg_limit=1
This kernel setting should not be used as a default. It should only be enabled when encountering
a problem where the exec() argument size limit has been approached.
You can also use the xargs command to break a long argument list into smaller lists. For more
information, see the xargs(1) reference page.
3.2.2.17 Loading Firmware from a BOOTP Server
The fwupgrade command has been modified to allow the specified firmware update image to
be loaded from a BOOTP server in a connected network. This process must use the bootpd
daemon.
Create a symbolic link from the shipping location of bootpd to the expected location:
# ln -s /usr/opt/obsolete/usr/sbin/bootpd /usr/sbin/bootp
You must manually create the bootptab file on the server. The following is an example of how
to set up the bootptab file on the server for this procedure:
# Example bootptab file for BOOTP support
.default1:\
:hd=/install/firmware:\
:sm=255.255.255.0\
:gw=16.69.255.1:
#
tab:tc=.default1:ht=ethernet:ha=08002b86f234:ip=16.69.222.42:
bobafett:tc=.default1:ht=ethernet:ha=0008c73a5a47:ip=16.69.222.48:
#
In this example, the directory /install/firmware was created on the bootp server. This
directory must contain the firmware of the systems to be updated. The file names must match
the entry on the fwupgrade command line. The firmware files must have read permissions, that
is, 444.
You must edit the inetd.conf file so that the file name passed by fwupgrade is found by the
console firmware. Edit the line /etc/inetd.conf file on the bootp server to look like the
following:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd tftp -r /install/firmware
Enable bootpd to start by removing the comment symbol (#) from the beginning of the line in
the /etc/inetd.conf file;
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd
