1. _P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_3_0_1__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e
This release note describes patch SG0000301 to IRIX 5.3 with
XFS.
1.1 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
This patch contains bug fixes for the following machine
types.
+o Challenge and Onyx with R4400 processors
+o Crimson (4D/510)
+o PowerSeries (4D/120, 4D/2xx, 4D/3xx and 4D/4xx)
+o Indigo and Indigo2
+o Indy
The software cannot be installed on other configurations.
1.2 _S_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__P_l_a_t_f_o_r_m_s
This patch contains bug fixes for IRIX 5.3 with XFS. The
software cannot be installed on other configurations.
1.3 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_3_0_1
This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX 5.3
with XFS. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking
system are included for reference.
+o After _x_l_v__a_s_s_e_m_b_l_e(1m) assembles all the logical
volumes and generates a configuration data structure,
_x_l_v__a_s_s_e_m_b_l_e(1m) removes all incomplete volume from the
data structure. Part of the removal process involved
compacting the data structure. The compaction was
incorrectly done and resulted in the wrong information
being passed to the XLV driver. Future volume accesses
can panic the system. (Bug #260842)
+o _x_l_v__a_d_m_i_n(1m) can fail to delete an used (no file
system mounted) volume. This can happen when the
volume being deleted does not have a log subvolume.
(Bug #260906)
+o _x_l_v__a_d_m_i_n(1m) can core dump with a segmentation
violation when deleting an incomplete volume. (Bug
#261390)
- 2 -
+o When appending a standalone volume element to a plex,
_x_l_v__a_d_m_i_n(1m) incorrectly sets the "end_block_no" of
the new volume element. The size of the current last
volume element was used in the end_block_no calculation
instead of the size of the new volume element. (Bug
#261675)
1.4 _S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s__I_n_c_l_u_d_e_d__i_n__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_0_3_0_1
This patch release includes these subsystems:
+o patchSG0000301.eoe2_sw.xlv
1.5 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
Because you want to install only the patches for problems
you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in
this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
meet your specific needs.
If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
_i_n_s_t.
Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
software product. Follow the instructions in your _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
_I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e to bring up the miniroot
form of the software installation tools.
Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
1. At the Inst>prompt, type
iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
2. Select the desired patches for installation.
3. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
4. You may find that two patches have been marked as
incompatible. If this occurs, you must deselect one
of the patches.
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
- 3 -
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
5. After completing the installation process, exit the
_i_n_s_t program by typing
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> qqqquuuuiiiitttt
To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e command as you
would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
reinstates the original version of software unless you have
specifically removed the patch history from your system.
vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
_v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeeehhhhiiiisssstttt ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
