P1: DT5354: If the auditmap is regenerated on a system (through the
use of auditmap(1M) or auditon(1M)) after the initialization of
NIS, then any future invocations of auditrpt(1M) will result in
an error similar to the following:
UX:auditrpt: ERROR: bad map record type 0
This was caused by a bug in the auditmap(1M) command which
caused a miscalculation of the size of the user id map portion
of the auditmap and thereby corrupted the auditmap such that
auditrpt(1M) could not use it.
R1: The miscalculation in the auditmap(1M) command has been
corrected.

###############################################################################
P1: DT4831: Some utilities fail when attempting to stat() the
/dev/swap special device file if the system is configured
with greater than 4096 Mb of memory.
R1: The ps(1) and ttymap(1M) commands were modified to use the
ftw64() routine instead of ftw(). The savecore(1M) utility
was modified to use the stat64() routine instead of stat().
The idmknod(1M) utility was modified to use lstat64() instead
of lstat(). In _xftw64(), the recursive call to ftw() was
changed to ftw64().
P2: DT5110: A bogus "internal error" message was displayed when
the -L or -s options were used on an executable (static or
dynamic) built with the -g option. The unnecessary message
does nothing except break out of the loop when encountered.
R2: The message was commented out.
P3: DT5414: Logging of TR_EXCEPTION_EXIT and TR_INTERRUPT_EXIT
events under certain conditions fools the NightTrace display
into thinking the exception/interrupt is over and user-mode
was resumed. However, it's still in kernel mode, potentially
for several seconds, causing the shielded process to overrun.
R3: New tracepoints TR_XAST_ENTRY(55) and TR_XAST_EXIT(56) were
added (not enabled by default; -e + to enable with ntracekd).
Also, if a process is locked into memory, don't deal with
as_age() in the hardclock check situation.
P4: DT5476: On systems configured with 4GB or greater swap space,
"df -k ." will return the error message: "Cannot access swap:
Value too large to be stored in data type" while doing a
directory search in a mounted partition. The command works
properly beyond this error message.
R4: The df(1M) command was modified to use the stat64() system
call instead of stat().
P5: DT5746: No checking is done on the /var filesystem to
determine if there is enough space to save the files listed
in the patch "savefiles" and/or "savefile_diskless".
R5: The pkginstall utility has been enhanced to perform space
checking of the /var filesystem for files listed in a patch's
"savefiles" and/or "savefiles_diskless" lists.
P6: DT5857: The xfsdump(1M) command will spew "bread:" messages
similar to the following during operation:
bread: da= 6704 (0x00001a30) count= 8192 (0x20008)
R6: The xfsdump(1M) command was rebuilt without the debug
printf() message.
P7: DT5947: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 redefined the start
and end dates for Daylight Savings Time. The Time Zone
Information Files (source), libc, and several man pages
must be updated to reflect and implement these new dates.
R7: The northamerica and pacificnew source files (located under
/usr/lib/locale/TZ have rule changes to reflect the new
Daylight Savings Time start and end dates. The _tz_time()
library routine called from ctime(3C), mktime(3C), and
tzset(3C) has been updated to reflect the new dates.
P8: RIQ10192: The /etc/default/login file was missing the new
RESTRICT=0 keyword value pair needed for riq10192.
R8: Corrected the /etc/default/login file to include the
RESTRICT=0 keyword value pair.
P9: A large number of UDP socket overflows and checksum errors
were being reported by netstat -s during periods of heavy
network traffic. This could occur if the sending system was
faster than the receiving system, or if the receiving system
was processing a heavy system load of higher priority events
when the packets were received.
R9: Once the UDP hiwater level was reached, new packets were being
discarded by IP until UDP reduced this backlog of packets. The
overflow problem was fixed by changing the default level for
the ndd tunable udp_sth_hiwat to 8 MB and the maximum level
changed to unlimited.
The UDP checksum errors were occurring due to a bug in the IP
layer packet reassembly logic which was incorrectly calculating
the partial checksums on the data that had been received so far.
The IP reassembly logic was fixed to correct this problem.
P10: For DT2704, "col -x" was added to the nroff command line
that gets generated. However, -x caused errors in many man
pages (line too long).
R10: Changed "col -x" to "col -b" for the the generate nroff
command line.
Enhancements:
1. New SMON and STAR firmware for PH700/900 systems has been
added to /var/sadm/SMON and /var/sadm/STAR

Software Update Name:dec-001
Date Issued: 01/16/2007 16:55:00
Software Package: dec pkg (Version 6.3)
OS Release: PowerMAX_OS 6.3
Architecture: synergy
Platforms: Power Hawk 710/720/740/910/920/940
Related Packages: base-001
Brief Description: PowerMAX_OS 6.3 dec package release updates
###############################################################################
P1: DT5397: If a dec port is sent a PCI target abort (abnormal
interrupt), the port sometimes stops being able to receive
packets. In this situation, the port does not resume receiving
packets until the system is rebooted.
R1: The dec chip was skipping over a receive entry in the receive
ring when the PCI target abort occurred. Code was added in the
dec receive packet interrupt processing logic to detect and
process a receive entry that has been skipped. With this
change, the dec port is able to continue receiving packets
even after an abnormal interrupt occurs.
P2: Socket errors and dropped packets sometimes occur on a dec
connection if there is a delay in processing packets on the
receiving system. Packets were being discarded when the dec's
queue hiwater level was reached.
R2: Increased the DL_HIWATER value from 8192 packets to 16384
packets.

###############################################################################
P1: DT4998: Customer real time task overruns when a non-real
time task is running on a remote CPU performing performance
monitoring calls.
R1: There is an FBS lock that the PM calls use to ensure coherent
PM data. This lock is also used by the soft overrun logic when
an FBS is in end-of-cycle mode. Because the FBS lock is not
needed if the FBS is not in EOC mode and soft overruns are not
enabled, the situation is avoided by not acquiring the lock.

###############################################################################
P1: DT5378: Data compare errors occurred on the DAT Tape drive when
running powerio tests on both the DAT and the mve ethernet at
the same time.
R1: The NCR driver was getting a SCSI interrupt but no interesting
status bits were set. In the presence of interfering snooped
I/O traffic, multiple PCI transactions to the same NCR register
were occurring with the CPU receiving the results of the second
read. Because the first read is destructive, it causes the NCR
chip to reset its internal interrupt state. The second register
read ends up returning the status register minus the originally
signaled state flags. The NCR driver was changed to workaround
this PCI double read problem.

Software Update Name:rmxf-001
Date Issued: 01/16/2007 16:55:30
Software Package: rmxf pkg (Version 6.3)
OS Release: PowerMAX_OS 6.3
Architecture: synergy
Platforms: Power Hawk 710/720/740/910/920/940
Related Packages: base-001
Brief Description: PowerMAX_OS 6.3 rmxf package release updates
###############################################################################
P1: DT5281: The rmxf 675 board intermittently fails to transmit
packets. Once the board stops transmitting, it would not start
transmitting again until the system was rebooted.
R1: Versions 2.1.1 and earlier of the rmxf 675 firmware had a
problem processing TX packets with a large number of segment
entries (8 or 9), causing the firmware to believe the packet
was larger than 1514 bytes. The firmware would stop processing
TX packets until the board was reset during a reboot. This
problem was fixed in V3.0.7 of the rmxf 675 firmware.
Enhancements:
1. During the debug effort on this firmware problem, several
changes were made to the rmxf driver to enhance its ability to
handle error conditions. These include: a new timeout mechanism
for TX packets, enhanced error messages and new error codes,
dump of TCB driver/firmware communication structure if a severe
error occurs, and MIB error counter corrections. The rmxf queue
hiwater limit was also increased to be unlimited so packets
would not be dropped due to the queue levels reaching their
hiwater limit (queue overflows).
