HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-5 Patch Summary and Release Notes (March 2009)

• Adds an event to indicate that the soft or hard error count has changed on the
device identified in the event.
• Corrects a potential deadlock in the hardware configuration subsystem.
• Fixes a problem where, when using hwmgr to delete a component, a
"DELETE_COMMIT: Cannot fetch name." message may be displayed on the console.
This problem can be seen frequently in a cluster environment when the component
being deleted does not exist on the system.
• Fixes numerous issues in the driver for DEGXA Gigabit Ethernet adapters, including
the DS25 onboard 10/100/1000 port.
• Corrects a problem in which incorrect values for LONG_MAX and LONG_MIN
were displayed when using the hardware manager to show attributes.
• Introduces type checking of attributes when registering components with the
hardware manager.
• Corrects a problem where after entering a hwmgr -redirect SCSI command and
rebooting, the system only boots to single user mode with the following error
displayed:
bcheckrc: Device Naming failed boot configure or verify
Please correct the problem and continue or reboot INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
• Corrects invalid hwmgr show component inconsistency.
• Addresses a problem encountered when mounting cluster root if the cluster root
domain devices are private to different cluster members. Currently, you cannot
boot your cluster. It will hang. With this fix, your cluster will boot with a warning
to the console. This configuration is not recommended; however the cluster should
not be unbootable. Currently, this is with respect to non-LSM cluster root domains.
• Prevents the hardware management cluster database from being reset.
• Adds IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support for the following:
— DEGPA
— DEGXA
— DE50x, lan_common.h
— DE60x
• Removes a restriction in which dynamic VMEbus device drivers can probe only
one controller per driver.
• Corrects a potential floating point register inconsistency.
• Corrects 3D client hangs when using the Radeon graphics card.
• Corrects a problem in which a kernel memory fault sometimes occurs if a USB
keyboard or mouse does not respond quickly enough. This KMF can occur during
boot or soon after a USB keyboard or mouse is connected. Any device can trigger
this, though it is neither predictable nor common.
• Fixes a problem in the alt driver for DEGPA Gigabit Ethernet adapters. This
problem affects all Tru64 UNIX systems containing DEGPA network interfaces.
