For HP-UX 10.0 and later, all driver
major numbers are dynamically
assigned. When the ACC software is
installed, its devices are created with
the correct major numbers. However, if
other products containing kernel driver
components are removed and/or new
kernel driver components are installed,
the HP-UX system can sometimes
change the ACC’s major numbers
without its knowledge. This results in
the ACC device files now pointing to
non-existent or the wrong (non-ACC)
drivers. The ACC utilities are then no
longer able to access the ACC kernel
components in the expected way (the
results of the access is random). The
ZCOM subsystem will fail to start up
typically with an immediate error
return, but sometimes with random
symptoms.
New scripts have been supplied that
check all ACC device files whenever the
system is booted and verifies that the
major number is correct for each device
file. If the major number is not correct,
the device file is deleted and recreated
with the correct major number and the
same original minor number.

When using the Data Analyzer, under
some circumstances, pdisplay keeps
displaying the error message “Event
Type is out of range, event
type read 0”.
It can easily reproduce error by typing
control-c when displaying a log file in
-f mode.
This problem is fixed in this release.
