Patches and Fixes for this Version

Chapter 110

• JAGad03287

Symptoms: Z7340A: zmntr mx display shows incorrect values for Txusd.

Defect/Fix: During the testing cycle of 8-Port PCI software and hardware, the zmntr mx

command shows incorrect values for the TXusd field of each port. The value is in bytes, but

does not correctly reflect the configured buffer size. It uses a fixed buffer size of 256 bytes,

rather than the configured zbufsize.

The number is most noticeably wrong when the buffer size is set to a large value

(e.g. zbufsize = 4096). You may need to set Unack-limit to a larger value (e.g. 50000) to

see larger values of TXusd.

• JAGad05873

Symptoms: zmlog logs a null char in hyphen lines.

Defect/Fix: This problem does not affect the log visually. However, when the log file is

being filtered by the 'head' program, the extra null confuses 'head' and the correct line

can't be extracted properly. The code has been changed to remove the extra NULL

character from hyphen lines.

• JAGad12116

Symptoms: On-line addition of card fails when ZCOM is already started.

Defect/Fix: When the ZCOM subsystem is started, zmon builds a table of all installed ACC

cards which includes their type and hardware path. This table is used to verify that the

configured ACC card is actually present in the system prior to a download. The download

is not allowed to proceed if the configuration does not match the physical hardware.

With an on-line card addition after ZCOM is started, zmon always rejects the card

download because the new card does not exist in its table. To fix this problem, zmon has

been modified to clear the flag indicating the hardware table has been initialized

whenever zmon receives a Interface Request Record (IRR) denoting an on-line card

addition. This causes zmon to rebuild its hardware table, therefore allowing the download

to proceed properly.

• JAGad13610

Symptoms: zqmve() gives an error when moving messages between program ZLUs.

Defect/Fix: When the 'MV' command in ZTERM is used, it gives the error:

“Error on ZQMVE: Different nodes not allowed” when moving a message from one

program ZLU to another program ZLU. Both are local ZLUs.
