APAR: IY11733 COMPID: 5765B7300 REL: 500
ABSTRACT: CUMULATIVE MAINTENANCE #09 (CSD09) FOR MQSERIES FOR AIX V5.0
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Service offering #09 (CSD09) for MQSeries for AIX V5.0 provides
fixes for the problems described in this APAR.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Service offering #09 (CSD09) includes fixes to the following
problems:
IC25451 - The MQSeries executable runmqchl.exe went into a loop
with 100% CPU usage. The channels were defined to the
MQSeries queue manager as TCP/IP channels.
IC27228 - If a blank channel name was mistakenly specified on a
client connection, then this could have resulted in a
channel being auto defined with no name which could
not then be deleted but could be displayed via DISPLAY
CHANNEL(*) in RUNMQSC.
IC29718 - A large memory leak occurred on MQSeries for Windows
NT V5.1 in amqhasmn.exe after running for a while.
The FDC probe id was xy159015 from
xstAddConnProcessToList.
IY03669 - During abnormal shutdown situations, it was possible
for MQSeries agents to hang indefinitely while
terminating the internal health thread. While
hanging, the agents produced a stream of FDCs with
probe id XC174006 from component xllSemSetVal.
IY09889 - CICS application servers ("cicsas" processes) may
dynamically load and unload MQSeries transactions.
When an MQSeries transaction was unloaded, it was
possible for MQSeries to leak some memory.
IY09958 - The MQSeries CICS switch load file (amqzsc) shipped
with MQSeries was built slightly incorrectly.
Although it worked fine from a functional point of
view, it did cause any cicsas process which was
XA-connected to MQSeries to report an application
server number of 0, and this was incorrect.
IY10592 - MQSeries FDCs on AIX did not print out the program
name, unlike FDCs on most other platforms. This APAR
will enhance FDCs on AIX by printing this information.
IY11435 - Occasionally the use of draft 4 pthreads on HP-UX
10.20 suffers a very intermittent problem on certain
machines in which pthread_getspecific may return a
non-NULL pointer on a pthread key for which
pthread_setspecific has not yet been performed. This
led to a segmentation fault within MQSeries.
IY12689 - If local events were enabled on the queue manager
"LOCALEV(ENABLED)", then record media image ("rcdmqimg
-m qmgr -t queue *") incorrectly wrote an error event
message to "SYSTEM.ADMIN.QMGR.EVENT" reporting that
MQOPEN("SYSTEM.DEFAULT.ALIAS.QUEUE") returned
MQRC_UNKNOWN_ALIAS_BASE_Q.
IY13066 - When MQSeries for AIX V5.1 was running, the /etc/group
file had an active process on it. The process was
associated with MQSeries. The command "fuser
/etc/group" would show that the "amqzxma0" process,
the queue manager's execution controller, had a handle
on /etc/group. This handle was left because an
MQSeries function on startup neglected to call the
endgrent() routine. This handle should not have
caused any problems at all for an active system.
IY14251 - The MQSeries trigger monitor (runmqtrm) places trigger
messages to the dead letter queue with a feedback code
of 265 (MQFB_APPL_CANNOT_BE_STARTED) if it cannot
start the triggered application, which is correct
behaviour. However, runmqtrm would do the same if the
triggered program terminated with anything other than
a zero exit status.
IY14780 - When an AIX MQSeries application sends a message
containing grouping information across to MQSeries for
OS/390 requires an MQMDE. There was a conversion
problem with the MQMDE if it was returned from OS/390
as part of the replyto message. The encoding in the
MQMD header (which should contain the encoding of the
MQMDE) was not correct (this is set by the AIX side of
the channel) and as a result the MQMDE was treated as
application data.
SA90400 - Requester channel changed from "running" to "inactive"
after 60 seconds following the receipt of a message.
38026.1 - Delete channel failed with error code 4004.
44272 - When restoring old logs, it is possible to process old
synchronisation records for which there is no longer a
corresponding channel definition. This situation
resulted in misleading messages and failure to start
existing channels. In future these synchonsiation
records will be ignored if there is no corresponding
channel definition.
51011 - Fastbound applications MQGET returned a reason of OK
even though an MQCMIT failed and rolled back.
53156 - Application trapped if Oracle returned -3 from
xa_close.
53234 - An FDC with probe id AD030001 from component
adiReadFile (RC=0 from read) was created by rcdmqimg
when disk was full.
54284 - The MQSeries trigger monitor passed the MQTMC2
structure to the triggered application in double
quotes (ie. " ") as opposed to single quotes (ie.
' '). This meant that certain shell constructs (for
example, ½) may have been interpreted rather than
being passed literally to the triggered application.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Cumulative maintenance #09.

ABSTRACT: MKSYSB RESTORE PROCESS DOES NOT PRESERVE THE AUTHENTICATION
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In customer's SP control workstation they replaced the 2.2 GB
rootvg disk by a 4.5 GB rootvg disk. They did that by mksysb
restore process. But after restoring and rebooting they found
that the authentication for the system has changed from
kerberose4, Standard AIX to Standard AIX.
mksysb restore does not preserve the enabled authentication
methods
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
After restoring from mksysb image the target machine will not
be having the same authentication settings as the source
machine if the source machine has kerberos authentication.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Added the authm attribute to the list of attributes which
can be changed by chginet and configured by cfginet command.

ABSTRACT: /TMP/CODCRON GETTING CREATED UNNECESSARILY
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A temporary file is being created on all machines when
changing system attributes. This file is used for modifying
the root crontabs file and poses no problem to that crontabs
file other than it is not being removed from /tmp.
LOCAL FIX:
This customer is using a shell script to execute chdev which
results in the temporary file being created. A line added
to the shell script to remove that file should be
a sufficient workaround.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
A temporary file is being created on all machines when
changing system attributes. This file is used for modifying
the root crontabs file and poses no problem to that crontabs
file other than it is not being removed from /tmp.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
added code to remove the temporary file once it's not needed.

ABSTRACT: CFGEFSCSI FAILS TO ADD A DEVICE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
After cfgmgr is run to configure the newly added fibre channel
device, the cfgefscsi module core dumps with a segmentation
violation, which could be seen in the error log.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The fix is to initialize a pointer and free it properly in
the walk_luns() routine in the find_fcp_dev module used by
the cfgefscsi FC protocol device config method.

ABSTRACT: IPV6: ICMP6_ERROR() DOESN'T ALLOW ERRORS FOR MULTICAST PACKETS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
RFC 2460 says that for certain options in destination and
hop-by-hop extension headers, implementations should return an
ICMP Parameter Problem error message, even if the destination
of the offending packet was a multicast address. AIX doesn't
do this.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Fix icmp6_error() to allow sending ICMP Parameter Problem
error messages when the destination of the offending packet is
a multicast address.

ABSTRACT: NDPD-HOST DOESN'T DETECT THE MODIFICATION OF EN INTERFACE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If a user deletes an IPv6 address using ifconfig, ndpd-host
does not detect this deletion. Therefore when a new router
advertisement arrives, ndpd-host does not reconfigure this
address.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Make ndpd-host delete this prefix from the prefix list when
a user deletes this address using ifconfig.

ABSTRACT: SNMPD ALWAYS SETS IPDEFAULTTTL TO 0 ON 64BIT OS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
On a machine running 64 bit kernel, do:
snmpinfo -m set -c private ipDefaultTTL.0=10
then do:
snmpinfo -m get ipDefaultTTL.0
we will get:
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.2.0 = 0
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In src/tcpip/usr/sbin/snmpd/ip.c file, s_ip_default_ttl()
routine, add the check to see which kernel is the
snmpd running on:
if (__KERNEL_64()) {
ttl64 =(long)( *((long *)(ot -> ot_save)));
bcopy(&ttl64, optreq.data, sizeof(long));
}
else {
ttl = *((int *)(ot -> ot_save));
bcopy (&ttl, optreq.data, sizeof (int));
}

ABSTRACT: CAPABILITY TO QUEUE OUTGOING IP PACKETS THROUGH FIREWALL HOOKS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
There is no provision in 4.3 firewall hooks interface for
the external function to queue the outgoing packets.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The interface is enhanced so that a NULL return value of the
mbuf will indicate to IP that the called function has decided
to handle the packet itself. We don't have to do any more
processing on that packet.

in graPHIGS in releases AIX433 and later.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Input method indicator text doesn't change. Pre-edit location
is wrong. Attempts at input result in core dumps.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Replace the code that generates the indicator text. Check
the current input state to avoid or make up for out-of-order
input method callbacks.

APAR: IY19749 COMPID: 5765E6100 REL: 510
ABSTRACT: GETHOSTBYXXX_R WILL CAUSE CORE DUMP POTENTIALLY
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
gethostbyaddr_r() is called to translate the client's IP
address to a hostname. However, this call will free up a part
of the result from any previous call to the function, and
since we reference an earlier result after the log entry is
being written, we are thus dealing with memory that
has been freed (and re-allocated by some other part of the
code and overwritten). This caused the mntlist corruption.".
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Don't use the strdup() routine in local resolver code which
will introduce the free/malloc issue.
------
APAR: IY19755 COMPID: 5765E6100 REL: 510
ABSTRACT: AIX 5.1:LSFS SHOWS IMPROPER OUTPUT WITH JFS2 FILESYSTEMS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
lsfs output for a JFS2 file system on a varied off VG
shows an error message that the device does not exist. This
is different than the behavior for a JFS filesystem.
Additionally, df -s of a JFS2 filesystem in a varied off VG
produces strange values. For a JFS filesystem an error
message is displaying that the file system could not be found.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Don't display error message when failing to open JFS2 device
in lsfs since the VG may be varied off and the device is not
available.
df should check for error return on JFS2 file system and
display an error message on failure.

ABSTRACT: FTPD LOGS DLOPEN ERROR
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A fix was put into ftpd (IY15897) to cleanup the dce
credential files of an integrated login dce user. This fix
was not correct for a non-dce user or root dce user.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In dologout, make correct check for KRB5CCNAME and also
check to see if user has root credentials (which should
never be removed).

be disconcerting.
LOCAL FIX:
Don't use AFM_CHILD_NUC=1.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Customers graPHIGS based application can have
multiple workstations opened simultaneously,
and may dynamically open and close
workstations. If AFM_CHILD_NUC=1 is used,
this can result in defunct process(es).
Although these defunct processes are in no way
useing any CPU or memory resources, they can
be disconcerting.

ABSTRACT: FILEMON STOPAS, DISPLAYS TRC_READ ERRORS DURING HEAVY IO
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the system has a heavy IO or load, if filemon
is started at this time, then both the offline and
realtime filemon produces lot of trc_read and trc_lseek
errors and also it abruptly stops its execution after
reporting a trc_vfs_ino error stating not a OPEN, OPENX
or CREAT SVC.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Fixed the code to take into account missing SVCs due to
heavy IO. This will fix the trc_lseek and trc_read errors
The trc_vfs_ino error is fixed by adding READ and WRITE svcs
inaddition to OPEN, OPENX and CREATE SVCs in trc_vfs_ino
error check, hence filemon will stop only if the SVCs are
not OPEN, OPENX, CREAT, READ and WRITE.

failed to access the filesystem during its initialization
phase since the necessary data structures have not been
allocated yet.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In bff.c, in the function inu_get_bff_name, if the package
is not RISC, instead of appending the platform type to the
end of the image name (after the '.I'), we will put it
before the '.I'. This will result in bffcreate creating

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
A new command called ifconfig.xs is created in x25 to manage
x25 if interface instead of using ifconfig. In ifconfig.xs,
SYS_CFGDD is used to pass down the parameters to the driver
instead of using SYS_CFGKMOD which is used in ifconfig. In
order to run ifconfig.xs, xs interface must be deleted from

ABSTRACT: STOP RESTART QMGR AMQ7472 GHOST.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
MQ 5.2 base for AIX
Customer shutdown MQ and then restarted it and got an AMQ7472
error - type queue damaged.
The FDCs show:
AQ126003 aqqValidateQHeader arcE_OBJECT_DAMAGED
The trace section in the FDC mentions !GHOST! queues
I have seen this happen to several customers running 5.2
The solution was to delete the GHOST queues.
This is not the correct way to resolve this problem. MQ should
this gracefully and not generate FDC's.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
This problem has been fixed and the fix will be shipped in the
following PTFs:
A) MQSeries for V5.2 CSD04

ABSTRACT: DEADLOCK IN PTY_INIT_SOCKET
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The pty_init_socket routines holds the socket lock while
it tries to acquire the pty lock. This is out of
order and leads to a dead lock. The stack trace for all

another cpu will be, probably in an interrupt context,
trying to acquire the socket lock but will already have
the pty lock in the interrupted context.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The pty_init_socket routines holds the socket lock while
it tries to acquire the pty lock. This is out of

Having spent some time analysing the special trace info, it is
apparent that there is a scenario under which the MQ semaphore
locking gets confused on AIX. This will tend to happen very
occasionally when there is a rapid turnover of application
processes. MQ will look at a semaphore previously owned by a
now-dead process, with a view to re-owning it. The re-ownership
process should only occur if the process died holding the
semaphore, but the tracing shows that there is a small timing
window within which re-ownership might occur even if the
semaphore is unowned at process death. This leads to more than
one process apparently holding the semaphore, and when the
second of these attempts to release it, it notices it is already
released and dumps a "not owner" fdc.
ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS: HL149037 out of mqlowrite by AMQHASMX
getting a hrcE_MQLO_UNEXPECTED_OS_ERROR because of errno
0000000E =14 = EFAULT.

ABSTRACT: IF FLAG ON ROUTE COMMAND DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Using the -if flag on the route command to specify the
interface the route should use does not work in some cases.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
-if flag for the route command has been modified to set
the RTA_IFA flag and address in the rt_msghdr structure
rather than the RTA_IFP flag and address. This causes
the kernel to always set the interface of the route to
be the one specified by the address.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
-if flag on the route command now works correctly and
will set the interface on the route.
TEMPORARY FIX:
Use the -ifa <interface address> flag on the route command.

ABSTRACT: CUMULATIVE MAINTENANCE #04 (CSD04) FOR MQSERIES FOR AIX V5.2
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Service offering #04 (CSD04) for MQSeries for AIX V5.2 provides
fixes for the problems described in this APAR.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Service offering #04 (CSD04) includes fixes to the following
problems:
IC31899 - Cluster messages hung on the transmit queue following
error message AMQ9999 (abnormal termination).
IC32055 - The MMC Services GUI showed the listener as stopped,
but the tasklist showed it as running.
IC32221 - An FDC with probe id XY338011 from component
xllLongLockRelease occurred when using Encina with
MQSeries V5.2. The return code in the FDC was
xecL_E_NOT_OWNER.
IC32260 - Net stop from the command line failed to wait for the
NT service to terminate.
IC32296 - Slow performance of infrequently used SNA connections,
when compared to the performance of MQSeries V5.1.
IC32581 - An FDC with probe id XC332070 occurred in component
xlsWaitEvent.
IC32582 - When using a COM+ object under MTS with MQSeries V5.2,
an MQINQ call failed with return code
MQRC_SELECTOR_ERROR, but did not fail if it was run
outside of MTS.
IC32651 - When a COM object, using MQSeries, was run under MTS
on a client, MQSeries MTS support did not
terminate connections with MQSeries servers when the
object was deleted. This could have resulted in an
exception during termination on the client or an
abnormal end of the client connection channel on the
MQSeries server.
IC32656 - When running MQSeries V5.2 with Microsoft Transaction
Server (MTS) it was noticed that the call stacks
included in some FDC files were corrupted. Some of
the probe id s where the problem was noticed were
XC000007, XC003008 and XC003009.
IC32674 - When running a MQSeries client under MTS, a second
MQCONN with identical parameters on the same thread
failed with a trap when the connect was done with
client conn offset.
IC32753 - An auto cluster receiver failed to reconnect after a
DISCINT.
IC32843 - The tail end of a channel definition which had empty
exit fields such as send/receive is corrupted when
running with CSD03 applied.
IC32875 - The Euro conversion tables were shipped with the
server only whereas they should be shipped
with the client and the server. This could have led
to return code 2119 (MQRC_NOT_CONVERTED) due to the
fact that the conversion table was missing when
translation had to be done on the client side.
IC32938 - Corruption of the hardened repository cache could have
caused traps in amqrdlla.dll when starting a Queue
Manager.
IY20727 - A CCSID conversion error occurred together with an FDC
with probe id XC076001 if MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2 was
used on HP-UX Version 11 with any CCSID other than
819.
IY21794 - A queue manager could not be restarted following a
prior abrupt termination. An error message AMQ7472
occurred. An FDC with probe id AQ126003 from
component aqqValidateQHeader was produced. The log
files of dynamic queues were corrupted in this
situation.
IY22429 - An FDC with probe ids XC010002 or XC009009 with minor
error code XECL_NOT_OWNER occurred in components
xcsDisconnectSharedMem and xcsConnectSharedMem.
IY24515 - CRTMQM with the -g option returned a 2195 error code.
IY24753 - A continuous loop of MQCONN followed by a MQDISC
resulted in a memory leak.
IY24795 - The RUNMQLSR process failed with a broken pipe
(SIGPIPE) abend on MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2 (HP-UX V11)
in a DCE environment when a user pulled out the
network cable while an MQI client application was
sending data by MQPUT. When the user put the cable
back, the next MQI call from the client killed the
runmqlsr process.
IY25080 - The MQSeries internal function kqiCloseIt may have
failed with a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) if it
received an authorisation failure when closing a
queue. The resulting FDC would have had a probe id of
XC130003 from xehExceptionHandler, but the function
stack would show componnet kqiCloseIt at the top of
the stack.
IY25309 - The RUNMQSC command PING CHANNEL failed with error
message AMQ9509 for CLUSSDR channels.
IY25639 - The C++ sample programs could be compiled on MQSeries
for HP-UX, but the compiled programs failed to execute
properly.
IY25648 - An FDC with probe id XY018001 occurred in component
xufCloseIniRead with error code xecU_E_INI_FILE_ERROR.
IY25746 - The trigger monitor failed to start with a queue name
that had a length of 48 characters.
IY25774 - MQSeries Integrator requires that an RFH can have a
CCSID of 0 under certain circumstances. This apar
allows this to occur by using an environment variable
"AMQ_NO_CHECK_RFH_CCSID".
IY25795 - Under certain circumstances MQSeries could hang in
component rfxWaitCollection on or soon after startup
due to a problem with the amqrrmfa repository manager
process. This problem may have occurred on both
partial and full cluster repositories.
IY25800 - When PipeLineLength=2, the MQSeries channel initiator
process (runmqchi) may have leaked file descriptors by
failing to close the queue manager's AMQRSYNA.DAT
file. If the leak continued unchecked, runmqchi may
have failed to start channels properly, updated their
status correctly, or even reported errors via FDCs or
the MQSeries error logs.
IY26494 - The process APPLICID attribute could not be processed
correctly when it contains single or double quotes.
IY27517 - There was a memory leak in runmqlsr for a SVRCONN
channel connection on MQSeries for AIX V5.2.
IY27550 - The event data generated for an 2085 reason code
(MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_NAME) contained an ApplName field
that was padded with unwanted data at the end of the
name. The stringlength field for the MQCACF_APPL_NAME
field was not set to the length of the actual string.
IY28347 - After applying V5.2 CSD03, installations that used
CICS, Encina or Tuxedo XA applications encountered
problems where the transactions failed to start.
IY28451 - An FDC with probe id PC057000 from component
pcmInquireChannelExits showed corrupt channel exit
lists.
IY29305 - A sigsegv occurred in component rfxAddCLQMGR when
starting a queue manager, accompanied by rrror message
AMQ6109 and an FDC with probe id XC130004 in component
xehExceptionHandler.
52854 - When using MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2, characters in the
repository error messages (eg. AMQ9410) were corrupted
in the error log when using the locale ja_JP.eucJP
(Japanese EUC).
59462 - Poor performance may have occurred occasionally while
processing queues with very large queue depths.
61217 - An FDC with probe id XC147100 occurred in component
xstCreateSegment.
61235 - Poor performance occurred when processing a very large
number of messages (eg. 100,000 messages) in a single
message group.
61864 - An FDC with probe id XY164003 was seen after a client
application abended, and the queue manager then went
into a loop.
61915 - The command "endmqm -i" should end without waiting for
connected applications to disconnect.
62030 - The bind attribute BIND_NOT_FIXED was ignored for the
local definition of a remote queue.
62609 - MQI calls were not succeeding if they were made during
the AFTER phase of API exit processing.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Cumulative maintenance #04.

certain dir entries.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
find performs a recursive search into the directories
when -depth is specified.Once the leaf is reached
it goes to previous directory and displays all
directory entries in that. Currently it is going
back to previous dir even when filename is "." Code
modified to see that chdir is not done in this
particular case.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
dbx may display incorrect values of some parameters and

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
When copying saved non-volatile registers from the stack
frame, dbx needs to account for whether the debuggee is 64
or 32 bit and rearrange the copied memory if it is 32-bit.
This is necessary since the registers are 32-bit values
on the stack, but dbx stores them as 64-bit values.

ABSTRACT: F4 LIST INCORRECT WHEN BASE & UPDATE IMAGES IN SAME FILESYSTEM
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When listing contents of media that contains both base images
and update images, they will be listed separately. If many
images are on the media, there may be a lot of space between
the base fileset listing and the update listing. This could
be misleading to customers and confusing.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Sort toc files while they are still separated by installer
type (RPM, installp, ISMP), preventing the need to sort
on the "type" field (5th field) first; then concatenate the
toc files together. This will ensure that installp base
and update filesets are listed together, as well as ensuring
that installp filesets, rpms, and ismp products are listed
together.

ABSTRACT: POTENTIAL RPC.YPASSWDD BUFFER OVERFLOW
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
There is risk for buffer overflows if bad data is sent to the
rpc.yppasswdd daemon. This could potentially be exploited to
gain unauthorized access to the system.
LOCAL FIX:
Protecting your network from the internet with a firewall
avoids the risk of someone outside of your network trying to
exploit this problem. However, best of all is to not run
the daemon unless the functionality provided by it is needed.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Make sure that the string arguments passed in the RPC call are
not too long for the static string buffers used to hold them
during the processing. This requires changes in a handful of
code locations.

ABSTRACT: MEMORY LEAK OF TYPE KERNEL TABLE IN RTREQUEST
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
While adding a new entry to the routing table rtrequest_nolock()
will check whether already there is an entry in routing table.
If the entry exist, it returns without adding it and release the
memory allocated to rtentry structure without releasing the
memory allocated to gidlist struct, which leads to memory leak.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Customer is running a script which will add and delete the
entries to the routing table. In this case most of the entries
are of same type which is already existing. Since we are not
releasing the memory allocated to gidstruct while returning
from rtrequest_nolock(), which leads in to memory leak
and finally system hang.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
If rnh_addr() fails ( route already exists), release the
memory allocated to gidstruct.

ABSTRACT: AUDIT START CORRUPTS THE AUDIT CONFIG FILE FOR LARGE USERS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When Audit is started with "audit start" command
it corrupts the /etc/security/audit/config file
if it has large number of users added under its
users stanza. The number of user listed for auditing
at which the corruption starts varies with the
classes that are assigned to each user, but generally
around 200 users will cause the corruption if each
have been assigned to "general,files,objects,kernel"
The corruption results in the same set of users being
repeatedly added to the stanza at some point.
LOCAL FIX:
Limit the number of users to be audited to
a point where no corruption takes place.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The logic for checking the start of the stanza is defective.
Added a function check_colon() to check if the stanza really
has a colon at its end to signify that it is a stanza.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Customer cannot install rpms and ismp products

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Rework logic that handles RPM and ISMP installations
This will allow RPM and ISMP products to install with or
without prefixes, from all accepted media
types (directory and CD), from the command line, smitty
or websm.
Only check out entire media when we are installing "all" or
listing media contents. In this case, if we find that we are
only installing one type of image (because the images are in
the directory passed as the device to geninstall), then we
discontinue the media search. If we are not installing
"all" or listing media, then seach intelligently for the
specific items passed in. This will enhance performance.

ABSTRACT: PORTMIR INCORRECTLY REPORTS DAEMON ALREADY ACTIVE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
It is possible for portmir to not work for a non-root user.
The sequence to follow is to do a portmir as a non-root
user and terminate it. After this, a non-root user can
not start a portmir session.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
It is possible for portmir to not work for a non-root user.
The sequence to follow is to do a portmir as a non-root
user and terminate it. After this, a non-root user can
not start a portmir session.

ABSTRACT: AUDIT START CORRUPTS THE AUDIT CONFIG FILE FOR LARGE USERS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When Audit is started with "audit start" command
it corrupts the /etc/security/audit/config file
if it has large number of users added under its
users stanza. The number of user listed for auditing
at which the corruption starts varies with the
classes that are assigned to each user, but generally
around 200 users will cause the corruption if each
have been assigned to "general,files,objects,kernel"
The corruption results in the same set of users being
repeatedly added to the stanza at some point.
LOCAL FIX:
Limit the number of users to be audited to
a point where no corruption takes place.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The logic for checking the start of the stanza is defective.
Added a function check_colon() to check if the stanza really
has a colon at its end to signify that it is a stanza.

Although RFC 1179 specifies that lpd should only
accept jobs originating at ports less than 1024,
it has become necessary to open up the port range
to be able to work in a heterogeneous setting with
jobs coming from other operating systems that are
not complying to the letter of this RFC. Opening
the range of ports up has become a de facto standard
in the industry.

ABSTRACT: STATIC LIMIT OF 768 TCP FILEDESCRIPTORS FOR RPC MADE DYNAMIC
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
There is a static limitation of the number of file descriptors
available for RPC-based programs. If this limit is exceeded,
the application might coredump in makefd_xprt. Current limit is
1024, but since 256 is the first descriptor used, in practice
this sets a limit of 768 open TCP connections.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Make sure that the __rpc_rlim_max() function uses the set
resource limits for files (+256 due to the offset) instead of
the static 1024 that used to be.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/200m bs=1024k count=200
vmstat shows number of free pages going down to 183957 pages
time sync ==> sys 0m0.37s
time sync ==> sys 0m0.35s
rm /test/200m
time sync ==> sys 0m0.35s
time sync ==> sys 0m0.37s
vmstat still shows 183957 pages free
LOCAL FIX:
unmount the filesystem
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Even after a file on an NFS filesystem has been deleted, the
segment is kept around for cache purposes. This is meant as
a performance enhancement when files are closed and reopened,
but if the file is deleted it can never be opened again.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
When a file is deleted, and link count reaches 0, then flush
the data out at the same time as it is deleted instead of
keeping it around.

ABSTRACT: RH: MKGROUP -A ADMS=ROOT FAILS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Error messages from the mkgroup command appear to "run on"
beyond the message text and print out a list of environment
variables.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Problem was caused by uninitialized pointer variables being
passed to certain functions. It was assumed that upon return
from these functions that if the variables were not NULL, they
contained a valid pointer. Instead, they contained the same
uninitialized values that were passed in. The solution was to
initialize the pointer variables to NULL before passing them.

ABSTRACT: PTHREADS COREDUMP WHEN ALLOCATING 32768 THREADS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When trying to create pthreads greater than the MAX
number allowed, the library tries to access
memory that was not initialized correctly. Hence
the application will cause a SIGSEGV.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In the function where the library calls to free a
pthread structure, _pthread_free in 43x called from
pthread_create and _free_pthread in 5.1 called from
_add_pthread_link, the 3rd argument needs to be FALSE
instead of TRUE. This means that as we enter this
function we do not take the lock for the pthread to
avoid accessing uninitialized address. We do not take
the pthread lock in this case because this pthread
struct is a newly allocated one and all it really
needs is to be freed and nothing else. Not taking
the pthread lock is safe upon entering the
function.

ABSTRACT: ASSERT IN XMEMDMA64_PPC
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
There is an assert in xmemdma64_ppc which is supposed
to verify that the segment boundary we are crossing
is contiguous. With a 64bit application running on a
32bit kernel you could run into a case where we cross
from segment 0xF to 0x0 and they should be considered
contiguous, but the assert does not take that into
account.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When using the "entstat" command with an EtherChannel adapter,
the names of each adapter contained therein will not be
displayed: instead, the name of the EtherChannel adapter will
be displayed along with each adapter's statistics.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The "ethchan_all_stats" structure was augmented to contain
an array of strings to hold the names of the adapters in the
EtherChannel. The code that retrieves the channel's statistics
was changed so that it would fill out this array with the
names of all the adapters contained therein. Finally, the
"entstat" command was changed so that it would retrieve the
names of the adapters from this array and display them
correctly.

order bytes passed 4 are zero accept the packet and strip
off the zero padding. If the high order bytes are not zero
log an error in the internal trace table and treat the packet
as invalid.

ABSTRACT: VIRTUAL MTAB NEEDS TO BE BACK PORTED TO 43
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Linux compatibility for the /etc/mtab was not fully
implemented in AIX 43. This was breaking user apps.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Linux compatibility requires the /etc/mtab file for
the *mntent() functions to work properly. Though a
real /etc/mtab file will not be created, a virtual
/etc/mtab will enable the *mntent() functions to work
properly.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:

ABSTRACT: MKCD BACKUP MISSING FILES MATCHING FILE SYSTEM NAME
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Backup using mkcd can missing files depending on
the user supplied name of the directory mkcd should
use for temporary space. This is a problem in the
regular expression list that is placed in the
exclude files. Example: If you indicate to use
/mkcd as the temporary space, then mkcd will exclude
everything from the backup that begins with mkcd
including the /usr/sbin/mkcd command. If you used
/ls as the directory, then everything that began with
ls would be excluded and so on.
LOCAL FIX:
Create and/or use a directory with a more unique name.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
mkcd backup could be missing files that
matched the file system name that it was
using for temporary space. It was due to
the way mkcd was trying to exclude its
temporary space from the backup.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Better clarification of what is to be
excluded so that it does not exclude
similarly named files.
TEMPORARY FIX:
Specify a directories with more unique
names.

will fail if the directory to copy is larger than the rootvg.
It fails with message:

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Using mkcd -r to go straight to rock ridge to
copy a directory to CD or DVD will fail if the
amount of data in the directory exceeded the
size of the rootvg.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Do not use the size of rootvg determine the size
of the temporary space used by mkcd.

ABSTRACT: GETPWUID FAILS WITH PASSWD INDEXES
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The security API getpwuid() fails to return
username. This results in commands like id and whoami
not returning usernames. Most of the applications
like pine, startsrc will fail to start.
LOCAL FIX:
Touching /etc/passwd will result in /etc/passwd
more current in time stamp which will be used
instead of passwd index files.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
***************************************************************
*USERS AFFECTED: *
* All users with the following filesets at these levels *
* bos.adt.prof 5.1.0.15fail to start.

***************************************************************
*PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: *
* Applications fail when getpwuid tries to resolve user
* ids using index files and fails. The normal shell
* commands like 'id' and 'whoami' do not return
* usernames. Applications like pine, startsrc etc. will
* fail to start.
***************************************************************
*RECOMMENDATION: *
* Apply apar IY28101

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The global parameters are now made static with the functions
which use them. A performance problem with using index
files is also solved by returning NULL when index files are
used and NIS is disabled, for users not in the index files.

ABSTRACT: EMAPI HA_EM_RECEIVE_RESPONSENO RESPONSE 64 BIT AIX510
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A emapi 64 bit application running on AIX 510, never receives
a response.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
A change between the AIX 5.1 compiler and the AIX 4.3
compiler resulted in an alignment change to structures in
the emapi code. When customers were running in 64 bit mode
responses were not being received to queries.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The ha_em_rsp_blk_32 structure which is used to provide
responses from Event Management contains a union of other
structures. With AIX 5.1, the alignment of these other
structures has changed. By adding pointers directly to
these other structures, we address this alignment change
and prevent future alignment changes with new levels of
the compiler.

ABSTRACT: MKCD SOMETIMES FAILS ON MULTIVOLUME BACKUP
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
mkcd sometimes fails when backup results in multiple volumes.
It fails on the second volume with message:
0512-319 mkcd: CD or DVD image file system: /mkcd/cd_images
does not have enough free space to hold the CD or DVD file
structure. The minimum free space required is 4292918720
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
A mkcd backup that consisted of multiple volumes
sometimes will fail with not enough room:
0512-319 mkcd: CD or DVD image file system:
/mkcd/cd_images does not have enough free space
to hold the CD or DVD file structure. The
minimum free space required is 4292918720 byte
There really is enough room in the file system.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The second volume was including the overhead that
is in the first volume and thus making the second
volume look bigger than it actually is. Need to
use the right calculations and not include the
first volumes overhead in subsequent volumes.

ABSTRACT: MKCD BACKUP MISSING FILES MATCHING FILE SYSTEM NAME
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Backup using mkcd can missing files depending on
the user supplied name of the directory mkcd should
use for temporary space. This is a problem in the
regular expression list that is placed in the
exclude files. Example: If you indicate to use
/mkcd as the temporary space, then mkcd will exclude
everything from the backup that begins with mkcd
including the /usr/sbin/mkcd command. If you used
/ls as the directory, then everything that began with
ls would be excluded and so on.
LOCAL FIX:
Create and/or use a directory with a more unique name.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
mkcd backup could be missing files that
matched the file system name that it was
using for temporary space. It was due to
the way mkcd was trying to exclude its
temporary space from the backup.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Better clarification of what is to be
excluded so that it does not exclude
similarly named files.
TEMPORARY FIX:
Specify a directories with more unique
names.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The customer will see an error log entry with label INIT_RAPID
and id: lft "/usr/sbin/getty /dev/lft0". Also, the customer
will not be able to use disable and penable with lft0.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In the /etc/inittab entry for lft, the configuration routine
writes "lft:" as the first field. Because this is not a
proper device name, "lft" is not found in the odm. Thus, the
penable and cleantty executables are not able to manipulate
the inittab entry. This fix will put the actual device name,
such as "lft0", in the first field of the inittab entry.
Also, this fix will change the unconfigure method for lft to
remove the inittab entry. Right now, unconfiguring the lft
does not automatically remove the inittab entry.

pixmap rendered via graPHIGS on a monitor
running in 2048x1536 resolution may NOT

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Change the precision of calculations used to convert to
DC and clip in son_drawpix.c. The calculations were using
12 bit integer math, which was resulting in an undetected
overflow at 2048x1536 resolution. This resulted in the
pixmap being completely clipped out of the rendering window.
The fix uses ordinary 32 bit integer math instead to avoid
the overflow.

ABSTRACT: SYSLOGD HOGGING ALL CPU IF /DEV/KLOG FILE EXISTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If the file /dev/klog exists, syslogd is hogging
all the cpu time.
LOCAL FIX:
Remove the file /dev/klog
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
BSD has a /dev/klog whereby the kernel sends it's
messages to the syslogd daemon, but that is not
the method that AIX uses, in fact AIX has no
/dev/klog device, and (as in the case of the
volume group) there is no guarantee that someone
couldn't make one appear simply by naming a thier
favorite logging VG "klog". In that case, syslogd
hogs CPU time
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
remove all support for the /dev/klog device from
syslogd code of AIX

ABSTRACT: IOCTL() SIO_USERDONE RESULTS IN SYSTEM CRASH
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When calling the SIO_USERDONE ioctl() from the webserver
to indicate that the webserver is done writing the dynamic
request, due to the locking sequence used, the system
can crash when the client-side closes the connection.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The earlier sequence of actions were:
1. Release the FRCA socket lock (fso)
2. Find TCP socket (tso) by using the map function from fso.
3. If non-null from step 2 try to get tso lock
Between steps 2 and 3 above the socket was getting freed
along an other path (back_door_close())
To avoid taking the lock on a freed socket (which we were
crashing on) the sequence was changed to
1. With FRCA socket lock find mapping to TCP socket
2. If non-null then increment the INP refcnt
3. Release the FRCA socket lock
4. Get the TCP socket lock
Finding the mapping while holding the FRCA socket lock
and also incrementing the refcnt ensures that TCP socket
and inp do not get freed.

ABSTRACT: EXTRA NODE_UP.RP EVENTS BREAK NODE-BY-NODE MIGRATION/UPDATE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Defect 349784 added extra events to
the HAES 4.4.1 'node_up.rp' event
script, which cause node-by-node
migration from a lower level of
HAES, or an PTF update from a lower
4.4.1 PTF update to break.
The problem occurs when a customer
falls over HAES resources to a lower
level cluster node so they can migrate
the 'fallen' node to HAES 4.4.1, or if
they are applying a new PTF 4.4.1 update
to the 'fallen' node. This node gets
the Defect 349784 updated 'node_up.rp'
event script which has extra events,
"check_for_site_up", and
"check_for_site_up_complete" which will
not coincide with the events in an
older version of the 'node_up.rp' event
script that is still on the cluster node
that has all the resources. When HAES is
brought back up on the 'fallen' node, this
causes an unbreakable 'config_too_long'
event to occur, because the lower level
node has finished 'node_up.rp' and
'node_up_complete.rp', while the newer
level cluster node is still waiting on
a 'barrier sync' from the new events.
This becomes a problem for customers who
wish to do 'node-by-node' migrations or
updates, without having to take their whole
HAES cluster down.
LOCAL FIX:
Edit the 'node_up.rp' event script, and
comment out the "check_for_site_up" call
with its corrosponding "barrier" call; and
comment out the "check_for_site_up_complete"
call. This should allow the lower level
'node_up.rp' event script on the lower level
nodes to sync properly, so a 'config_too_long'
even does not occur. Once all nodes in the
cluster have been migrated or updated, then these
comments can be removed.

resulting in the file ½SYS_DIR/smapi_46.pid being left in
the file system. On restart if the pid in this file
corresponds with another process (not dtsnmpd) then DirectTalk
will not restart.
LOCAL FIX:
Erase the file ½SYS_DIR/smapi_46.pid. DirectTalk can then be
restarted correctly.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
DTALARMD DOES NOT ALWAYS SHUTDOWN CORRECTLY
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Change script DT_shutdown to zap dtalarmd
using -15 rather than -2.

ABSTRACT: UTILITY THAT CHECKS FOR TAPE RESERVE RELEASES TAPE RESERVE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The cluster utility cltape_resource_available is
used to check to see if there is a reserve on a shared
tape device. If this utility is run by a node which
holds a reserve on the tape, the utility will release
the node's reserve, even though the utility is only supposed
to check the reserve status, not alter it.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The API call to openx is called with the flag to preserve
the reservation.

ABSTRACT: APPLICATION MONITOR NOT STOPPED GRACEFULLY IN ITO RG
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
An application monitor is defined for an application
in a two-node resource group (node1, node2) which has
Inactive Takeover = TRUE. Node2 is started first, and it
correctly starts the application and the application monitor.
Cluster services is then started node1. Node2 correctly stops
the application, however, it does not terminate the application
monitor. When the application is stopped, the monitor
enqueues an rg_move. The rg_move event is run after the node_up
events for node1 are complete.
This extra event causes errors when PPRC is configured for the
cluster.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
This is caused by a small timing window between where the
monitor is stopped and the application is stopped - add code
to close this window.

when 'lsgroup ALL' is used. If monsters is a groups
existing in local and ldap, then output of lsgroup ALL is:
# lsgroup ALL | grep monsters
monsters id=202 admin=false users= adms=root registry=files
monsters id=202 admin=false users= adms=root registry=files
However it find the group with -R option:
# lsgroup -R LDAP monsters
monsters id=209 admin=false users= registry=LDAP
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The lsgroup command doesn't distuinguish groupnames
obtained from local and other databases like ldap,
when 'lsgroup ALL' is used. If monsters is a groups
existing in local and ldap, then output of lsgroup ALL is:
# lsgroup ALL | grep monsters

monsters id=202 admin=false users= adms=root registry=files
However it finds the group with -R option:
# lsgroup -R LDAP monsters
monsters id=209 admin=false users= registry=LDAP
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The groups are assumed to be returned with
<domainname>:<groupname> type syntax which is then parsed
in lsgroup command. But the groups are returned from the
library without "domainname:" preceding them which is the
error. This is implemented as part of solution.

ABSTRACT: INNETGR() FAILS ON NIS CLIENT WITH NIS+ COMPAT SERVER
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
For AIX NIS clients that bind to a NIS+ server in NIS
compatible mode, lookups of entries in the netgroup database

LOCAL FIX:
There's no local fix besides moving the netgroup file to the
local machine, or not use netgroups.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In a manual tunnel scenario, if a packet arrives that has an

entry that does not specify AH, because sometimes the AH SPI
is set (non-zero) in tunnel cache entries that specify only
ESP.
Modify the code to check the policy_flags of the tunnel cache
entry returned by tunnel_cache_get to make sure that they
match the packet we are looking at.

/mkcd/cd_images does not have enough free space to
hold the CD or DVD file structure.
The minimum free space required is 676331520 bytes.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
mkcd fails when creating backup that is larger

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
mkcd was adding the space of additional volumes to

LOCAL FIX:
Don't use 64KB write sizes. Default is 32KB.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The AIX nfs server does not handle 64KB write calls properly.
This is because there is a limit of 64KB per RPC request, and

ABSTRACT: NFS CLIENT RDDIR CACHE GROWS TOO LARGE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When traversing very large directories the NFS client-side
readdir cache will grow. As long as the vnode is still used,
and the directory is unmodified, it will not shrink. For
extremely large directories this might cause the machine to run
out of kernel memory.
LOCAL FIX:
Don't traverse the directory in question. Mounting with "noac"
option will also help, at the cost of read/write performance.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Add a new mount option (nodircache) to disable the readdir
caching in the NFS client.

ABSTRACT: MKCD DOES NOT REMOVE TEMP FILES WHEN USER SPECIFIES DIRECTORIES
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When a user specifies the file system for mkcd to
use for temporary space, mkcd does not remove any
of its temporary files. All the files place into
the cd file system (-C) and the cd image file
system (-I) are still there after mkcd completes.
The only files that should be around after
completion would be the cd images and that is only
if the user indicated to not remove them by using
the -R or -S flag.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
The mkcd command was only removing its temporary
files if it created the temporary file system
space. If a user specified the temporary space
then the temporary files were not removed.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Change mkcd so that the only files left after
completion were the cd images and only if the
user indicated to retain these by using -R or -S
flags.

ABSTRACT: NFS HANGS WHEN GPFS RETURN ENOTREADY AND CONTINUES ASYNCHRONOUSL
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
GPFS blocks that file operation until it receives a response
from DM application. Since, they set the "dmapiEventTimeOut"
config parameter, when time expires GPFS returns ENOTREADY and
continues that ile operation asynchronously. NFS is expected to
repeatedly retry that operation.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
NFS access for all files hangs when a data management
application using the DMAPI interface takes a long time to
respond to an event.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Aviod holding a lock on a file when it is accessed via NFS
and DMAPI events are pending for this file.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Under certain timing conditions using direct
IO and AIO, an incorrect block of data was written.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
If direct I/O write had to bail out after
writing part of the date (because a new data block had to be
allocated), it was not adjusting the file offset correctly.
This could cause the remaining data be written at the wrong
offset, over-writing the first part of the data.

ABSTRACT: ADD OSLEVE -R OUTPUT TO IMAGE.DATA
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Customers are running into problems when trying to install
mksysb if the boot media (NIM) and the mksysb do not match.
It is difficult to tell what the level of a mksysb is because
the OSLEVEL variable in image.data is not detailed enough.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
It is difficult to tell what level AIX a mksysb is at
compared to a SPOT when using mksysb in conjunction with
NIM or when booting off product media and then installing
from mksysb. When levels are different the system may
not be able to reboot as a result after restoring the
mksysb.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Need more information about the level of the mksysb.
Added output of oslevel -r to the image.data file of the
mksysb.
TEMPORARY FIX:
Know what level your system is at when creating the
mksysb and use the same level SPOT or same level product
media. Execute oslevel -r and label your mksysb with
the result.

ABSTRACT: SYSLOG FILE IS NOT ROTATED
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If we don't use space(s) and use tab(s) before
the keyword rotate in syslogd configuration
file then the log file does not get rotated
at all. But if we place a single space before
the keyword rotate, then everything works fine.
tab(s) without any space(s) gives this problem.
LOCAL FIX:
Use atleast one space just before the keyword
rotate in syslogd configuration file.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
syslog file is not rotated if only tab(s) are there
before the keyword "rotate". However if rotate is
followed by atleast one space everything works fine.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Changed the code so that it will now check for either space or
tab before rotate.

ABSTRACT: S/S FOLLOWING SWITCH FAULT, NODES DID NOT REGAIN CSSMEMBERSHIP
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
s/s following switch fault, nodes did not regain cssmembership
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
HAGSGLSM currently tries to open the devices
/dev/css0 or /dev/css1 and HAGSGLSM halts
to proceed to monitor their status (from
Topology Services) if open() == -1.
However, in certain situations (e.g., temporary
device driver problem), this kind of error may be
only temporary. So, open()==-1 test is not reliable.
The fix is to use "the existence" of devices /dev/css0 or
css
to determine whether HAGSGLSM should try to monitor or not.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
HAGSGLSM will see the existence of /dev/css0 or /dev/css0
(rather than checking the error code of open())
to determine whether it should monitor the switch
adapter status to form the css{0|1}Membership
groups.

software. Specifically, the RMC daemon would hang during
a restart operation, causing it to reject local or remote
connections, making it impossible to control system
resources through RMC. Also, the cthats script would hang
while rebuilding the machine.lst file.
The failure was tracked to the libct_ffdc library routine
fc_init(), which is attempting to resolve an IP address
into a host name. With DNS unavailable, the name
resolution interfaces would hang for 30 seconds or more.
causing the processes that use this interface -- the RMC
daemon and the cthats script -- to hang as well.
This placed a single point of failure within RSCT on the
domain name server.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The failure occurs in the libct_ffdc library routine
fc_init(). This routine attempted to obtain a host name
for the IP addresss that it selected to identify the local
host, in order to avoid using a private interface. Once
the verification was done, the host name that was obtain was
discarded, not used anywhere else in the library.
The underlying logic was not correct, since the absence of a
host name assignment to a valid IP address is not an
indication as to whether the IP address is private or not.
Therefore, the attempt to retrieve a host name is
unnecessary, and could only serve to cause the failure
described in this APAR.
The attempt to retrieve the host name has been removed from
the routine.

ABSTRACT: MALLOC FAILURE ON SUCCESSIVE LARGE REQUESTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In some cases, malloc will not be able to fulfill a reasonable
allocation request.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
If malloc is unable to sbrk() enough memory for the entire
request, it falls back to the optimistic algorithm which was
removed in 345724.

ABSTRACT: ENDING A <RECORD> WITH FINALSILENCE CAUSES THE APP TO TERMINATE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In a VXML application, if a recording using the <record> tag is
stopped due to maximum silence (finalsilence in vxml speak),
then the application will terminate with a 516 completion code.
The system also plays the; Must exit due to processing error
message.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
In a VXML app, if a recording using the
<record> tag is stopped due to maximum silence then the app will
terminate with a 506 completion code. The recording should be
deemed a success in this situation and not a failure.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Changes have been made to the <record> code
to accept maximum silence (finalsilence in VXML speak) as a
valid termination condition for a recording. Apps will now
continue to execute after this termination condition occurs.

ABSTRACT: ASSERT GROUP.LAST_ID >= 0 CAUSED BY BOUNCE-DETECTION LOGIC
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
assert group.last_id >= 0 caused by bounce-detection logic
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
A problem with the RSCT Topology Services daemon causes
it to terminate abnormally (with a core dump) in certain
cases after a local adapter is determined as being down
during a short period of time.
A timing-dependent sequence of events results in the
daemon "asserting" with the following failed assert:
Assert group.last_id >= 0
A line like the following may be seen towards the bottom
of the Topology Services log
(/var/ha/log/topsvcs.DD.HHMMSS.<cluster name>):
The assert subroutine failed: group.last_id >= 0, file
../../../../../../src/rsct/pts/pam/server/misc.C, line 1383
In an HACMP environment, the problem causes the HACMP
cluster manager to terminate and the node to crash because
of that.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
A fix has been applied to the RSCT Topology Services
daemon. With the fix, the daemon should no longer
terminate abnormally when a local adapter is considered
down during a short period.

ABSTRACT: I/O ERRORS REPORTED TO APPLICATIONS DUE TO ENXIO CONDITIONS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
I/O errors reported to applications due to ENXIO conditions;
autorecovery is not enabled; switch_retries is not fully
enabled; 9401 (path errors) take too long to handle);
Send Diagnostics command causes controller MEL log flooding;
UTM LUNs cause switch problems; reservations are handled
improperly for takeover situations.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Fix the ENXIO problem by avoiding ACA conditions in router
monitor tasks; pass all values for autorecovery and
switch_retries properly; recover from 9401 on first
appearance; don't use Send Diagnostics; don't transfer UTM LUN
on switch; many changes in reservation code.

ABSTRACT: HAGSGLSM DAEMON HUNG DURING SIGNAL HANDLING
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
hagsglsm daemon hung during signal handling
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
SIGCHLD signal is currently handled by the main thread
which also runs Group Services dispatch loop.
Some cases when a callback or SRC request is arrived,
HAGSGLSM calls the trace logging routine. Inside the
routine, there is a chance to receive a SIGCHLD signal
which invokes the signal handler. The signal handler
will try to call the same trace routine and may cause
the thread blocked due to the recursive locking.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
SIGCHLD signal will also be handled by the separate
signal handler. As the result, all asynchronous signals
now will be handled by a thread, and no nested
mutex lockings will be permitted.

ABSTRACT: EDL CALL SEQUENCE NUMBER INCORRECT.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When using an Exchange Data Link the Call Sequence number is
not setup correctly. This results in the wrong/incorrect/no
call information being successfully retrieved from the switch.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
EDL CALL SEQUENCE NUMBER INCORRECT.
When using an Exchange Data Link the Call Sequence number is
not setup correctly. This results in the wrong/incorrect/no
call information being successfully retrieved from the switch.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Re-fitted code into sl_write_call_data
to query the DD for the call ref (sequence number)
before sending the call data message.

ABSTRACT: ERROR IN FUNCTION CREAT_HB_NETOWRK_NAMES_OR_TYPES_TABLE()
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
error in function _creat_hb_network_names_or_types_table()
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
When the cluster topology is changed, Group Services daemon
sends the new configuration to the Group Services library
so that the library can maintain the new configuration data.
At the receipt of the configuration message, new
configuration data is recreated in the library. However, due
to a problem in the recreation code the older configuration
data table is freed with the new table length. Therefore
if the new length is larger than the older, unknown memory
area are tried to be freed and may cause the unexpected
result to the application.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
By freeing the appropriate table length to free
the old data, unexpected memory frees can be
avoided.
