ABSTRACT: HAGS BROADCAST METHOD CAN CAUSE STORMS ON INSTALLTIONS WITH

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
 When HAGS needs a broadcast, it first tries to send the msg
out to every body (burst broadcast). Rebroadcasting to the
undelivered nodes will be performed in every 3 seconds. This may
cause a big overhead if the number of nodes is large. This has
been seen to cause hags voting issues.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Whenever Group Services needs a broadcast,
it first tries to send the messages to
all nodes and retries the broadcast
the messages to the unresponded nodes
in every 3 seconds.
This behavior may increase the overload
to the IP stack particularly if the
number of nodes is large, and thus
it may increase the message drop rate
and cause more retries which may delay
the Group Services' protocol completion.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
On a big system (with more than 64 nodes), this
fix will lessen the overhead to broadcast
Group Services messages by spreading out
the message sends.

ABSTRACT: ENCONSOLE/ENCCP SHOULD NOT ALLOW AN OBJECT NAMED DEFAULT TO BE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Enconsole/enccp should not allow most operations on and object
with the name 'default'. Previously, you could create an
object named 'default' from enconsole or enccp, but when you
later tried to query/show the object, you ended up with the
default attributes for that attribute type. Other operations
on that object would either fatal, or have unexpected results
(because they too try to operate on the default object).

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
USERS AFFECTED: Encina users, Release 420
Enconsole/enccp should not allow most operations on and object
with the name 'default'. Previously, you could create an
object named 'default' from enconsole or enccp, but when you
later tried to query/show the object, you ended up with the
default attributes for that attribute type. Other operations
on that object would either fatal, or have unexpected results
(because they too try to operate on the default object).

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The solution to prevent the errors and confusion is to disallow
operations, excluding show/modify, on an object named
'default'. Show/modify on default is allowed, since those
commands operate on the default object. Users can no longer
create objects named 'default'.

ABSTRACT: DCE PRIN WITH $ IN THE NAME CANNOT COLD START MAS SERVERS.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Dce principals that have a "$" in the name could not cold start
any type of server. The same principals could warm start
servers once they had been cold started by another principal
that did not have this character in the uid.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
USERS AFFECTED: Encina users, Release 420
Dce principals that have a "$" in the name could not cold start
any type of server. The same principals could warm start
servers once they had been cold started by another principal
that did not have this character in the uid.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Encina looks for reference strings in the form of $string$. In
order to have a '$' in a direct value, it needs to be escaped
('$$'). Changes were made to scan direct value strings (-A for
cold starts, etc...) for '$' and insert a second '$' for each
occurrence.
Note: due to operating system restrictions this fix for Encina
4.2 is limited to supporting principal names with the $ sign at
the end of the string only. $'s in the middle or beginning will
result in startup failures.

ABSTRACT: VMGETINFO/KVMGETINFO SYSTEM CALLS IMPACT PERF.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
vmgetinfo/kvmgetinfo system calls are taking too
long to return. This is causing perf. impact.
This should not be much of concern for users
unless they are trying to obtain continuously the
VMM statistics through vmstat or other tools which
makes use of these system calls.

LOCAL FIX:
Don't use these tools if not needed.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
System perf. (but only when the vmgetinfo is being
called in a close loop).

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Add a new command option VMINFO_ABRIDGED to vmgetinfo
and kvmgetinfo. This command when passed to upd_vminfo
(called by vmgetinfo and kvmgetinfo) would skip the time
consuming calculation of some the parameters in vminfo
structure which are rarely used. Only svmon uses these
additional stats. No other command does.
Also make changes in the tool code to call vmgetinfo with
VMINFO_ABRIDGED instead of VMINFO if detailed stats is not
required.

ABSTRACT: EMASTERD HANGS AT "LSSRC -A | GREP HAEM"

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
emasterd hangs in wait_for_haem loop at "/usr/bin/lssrc -a |
 /bin/grep haem > /tmp/wait_to_start.emaster_out", because
lssrc -a does not return.
/var/adm/SPlogs/css/emasterd.log looks like:
...
emasterd_main: 2543-717 Entering wait_for_haem() loop.
emasterd_main: 2543-719 In wait_for_haem() loop 1 hours.
...
emasterd_main: 2543-719 In wait_for_haem() loop X 11 hours.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The emaster daemon loops forever in the wait_for_haem()
function because a system library call which runs the
command: "lssrc -a | grep haem" fails (rc = 256). This
is due to a problem in the bourne shell which may occur
on some levels of aix. This usually happens if the
command we are trying to execute passes a flag. Although
the emaster daemon is part of the SP_Switch2 support,
this particular problem may also be seen on SP_Switch
systems.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The emaster daemon will set the PWD environment
variable to the /var/adm/SPlogs/css directory before
issuing any system() calls.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The microcode is stuck on a '1b'x command in the KHAL window.
It can make progress for other windows, but the microcode
can't make any progress for KHAL because it needs a slot in
the receive fifo. Unfortunately, KLAPI/KHAL won't free up
a slot in the receive fifo, until it has a slot in the send
command fifo. This is a classic deadlock senario.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
GPFS can hang due to SFIFO/RFIFO deadlock condition
between KLAPI and microcode on the SP_switch2 adapter.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
This fix will change the protocol handshake between
microcode and KLAPI on the SP_switch2 adapter to
avoid the SFIFO/RFIFO deadlock.

ABSTRACT: ORACLE CAN NOT CONNECT HAGSD WITH MANY CLIENTS

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Oracle can not connect hagsd with many clients.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Group Services daemon currently limits the maximum
pending connections to 5. Therefore, if there are
many connection requests(e.g., over 500) have been
made to Group Services at a short time, some of
the requests may be disallowed with "ECONNREFUSED".
By extending the maximun pending queue length
(called, backlog size) to the maximum configured
queue length (i.e., no -o somaxconn), the unexpected
connection refusal will be resolved.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
This fix will enable Group Services subsystem
to handle many concurrent connection requests
even if the requests have made at very short
period.

ABSTRACT: DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES USED INSTEAD OF USER ATTRIBUTES IN DCE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The attributes specified in a stanza file like
/etc/security/user or /etc/security/limits for a user
are not picked up in the DCE environment and always
default stanza attributes are used. An example is,
if we have a sugroups=ALL in default and sugroups=XYZ
for a root user, the dce user still will able to su to
root even though he doesn't belong to XYZ group. This is
because the attibute is taken from default stanza.

LOCAL FIX:
Remove the default stanza and it will work in some cases.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The attributes are not picked from the user
stanza even if user stanza is present and is
always picked up from default stanza.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The attributes will be picked from the user
stanza if available. If this is not present,
attribute values are taken from default stanza.

ABSTRACT: COL_DUMP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY USING BINARY INPUT FILES

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
col_dump is not working properly using binary input files

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
A hardware upgrade was made to the newer colony adapters
equipping them with 4MB SRAM simms from 2MB SRAM simms. Due
to this change, the microcode that was loaded into the
adapter changed location. The problem with col_dump was that
it was not able to distinguish a difference in the binary
file size, therefore given a 4MB binary file, col_dump was
printing out data from an improper offset or locatoin within
the binary dump file.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The executable col_dump had to be modified to identify the
correct offset into the microcode binary dump file obtained
using colread to reflect a 4MB or a 2MB dump file size. Once
the program was able to identify between the 2 file sizes it
became possible to use the proper offset to read the data
from the binary files.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Adapter errors on port1 were being system error logged. In
specfic STI errors were occurring on port1 because there was
no warp plug and both both ports are enabled regardless of
whether or not they are configured. We want the info in the
adapter.log for the engineers use but not in the system

ABSTRACT: SYSTEM CRASH DUE TO DOUBLE FREE OF MBUF

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Every once in a while, when an invalid packet using both AH
and ESP encryption comes through, the machine will crash.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The alias variable ip_packet_p was removed from
ipsp_decapsulate() and cap6_decapsulate(); it was the failure
of the program to properly re-initialize this variable on the
second pass of the AH/ESP decryption that caused the problem.
A normal exit would take care of it, but an exit on an error
path might not.
APAR IY11357 removed several m_freem() calls that should be
there; these are put back now. Also cleaned up a couple of
other memory leaks on error paths in esp_rply_decap4() and
esp_rply_decap6().

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Primary node times out on acks from

redriven and sometimes to fail.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Distribution points were unnecessarily
generating a set of routes for each leaf node during Estart.
On a large system this took long enough that the primary node
timed out waiting for the distribution point to ack. The fix
for this was to eliminate the unnecessary route generation.

ABSTRACT: STORE PIDS OF COMPETING PROCESSES IN RC.SWITCH.EXTRA

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Store pids of competing processes in rc.switch.extra

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
During a system-wide reboot of a large system
several nodes did not show their Fault Service daemon restarted.
The inittab runs the rc.switch script that starts the FSD. It
was noticed that on the nodes where the FSD did not start, the
file /var/adm/SPlogs/css/rc.switch.extra was created. This file
is created when rc.switch detects another process, also named
rc.switch, executing on this node at the same time. The intent
was to prevent two instances of rc.switch from starting two
FSD's simultaneously. However, editing (vi, more, ps...) of
the rc.switch.log can keep the script from executing. It is
believed that the inittab child process that starts rc.switch
is being detected in the "ps" command within the rc.switch
script. This keeps rc.switch from executing and consequently
the fSD is not started. This seems to happen only occasionally.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
This change will store the pids and names
of the processes that keep rc.swtich from running. While it
will not fix the problem, it will provice additional
information to prove the theory so the problem can be fixed.

ABSTRACT: HOLE IN WAY SEND_UPDATE IS DONE FOR HELD DATA

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
hole in way send_update is done for held data

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Sometimes the microcode would indicate to the
higher level protocols (KHAL/KLAPI) that a command was
completed before it was actually completed. This only applied
to commands, such as move_cluster_buffer, which piggy-backed
its completion report on top of previously issued commands.
There is an extremely small window where this could happen.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Made sure that the microcode "piggy_backs"
the completion reports for these special commands on the last
completion report to be issued for the respective window.
