            PHKL_23084: HANG

    Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_23084

    Symptoms:
            PHKL_23084:
            (SR: 8606170112 CR: JAGad39375)
            System hangs while accessing the tail of a VxFS file of
            size greater than 2GB.

            PHKL_19058:
            ( SR: 1653303750 CR: JAGab16358 )
            Creating a large number of files (such as > 4k) in a
            directory on a vxfs file system can take an unacceptably
            long time to complete, especially when compared to
            HP-UX 11.00.

    Defect Description:
            PHKL_23084:
            (SR: 8606170112 CR: JAGad39375)
            The function supposed to return the details of the
            extents of the file was returning HOLEs past the 2GB
            mark which caused the process to loop forever.

            Resolution:
            Return correct details of the extents past the 2GB
            mark from the function mapping the extents of a file.

            PHKL_19058:
            ( SR: 1653303750 CR: JAGab16358 )
            On 10.20, VxFS 3.0 uses extents of size 1K blocks once
            the directory started to use indirect extents; i.e. once
            the directory became larger. For 11.00 and VxFS 3.1,
            extents of size 8K are used. Thus, on 10.20, there were
            8 times the number of extents to manage as with 11.00.
            Resolution:
            A change has been made to allow 10.20 to also use the
            larger extent size, and thus improve performance.

    Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_22905

    Symptoms:
            PHNE_22905:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_21999 for VVOS.

            Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_21999:
            1. JAGac79099 / SR8606128299:
               "nslookup" cannot resolve hostnames properly
                when there is wild card entry in DNS data files
                and a search list having multiple entries in
                resolv.conf.

            2. JAGad09228 / SR8606139905:
               DNS and symbolic link problem.

            3. JAGad23810 / SR8606154493:
               "nslookup" sets timeout value to 5000 seconds when
                name server host is specified at the command line.

            4. JAGab53671 / SR1653307470:
               "hosts_to_named" does not validate entries in
                /etc/hosts.

            PHNE_21288:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_20618 for VVOS.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_20618:
            1. JAGac40451 / SR8606125060:
               "named" fails in certain cases.

            2. JAGaa57264 / SR5003446138:
               "named" fails to resolve some of the names.

            3. JAGab69094:
               BIND 4.9.7 and 8.1.2 resolver code not searching
               and stopping with Fully Qualified Domain Name(FQDN).

            4. JAGab84583 / SR8606112269:
               In Network Connection Policy Manager(NCPM)
               environment, "named" exits after few days.

            5. JAGab21142 / SR1653306647:
               Disable XSTATS on "named".

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_7495:
            "named" was unable to provide responses from the
            relocatable IP address used in MC/ServiceGuard environments.
            Resolver clients configured to first query the nameserver's
            relocatable IP address would not accept the response
            returned by the nameserver, causing name resolution delays.

            PHNE_16204:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_14617 for VVOS.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_14617:
              1. Upgrade to Bind 4.9.7
              2. DNS has problem when directed to use forwarder.
              3. PHNE_10494 has problem in Serviceguard environment.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_10494:
              1. Upgrade to Bind 4.9.6.
              2. Fix named 4.9.3 to handle database reload in the
                 service guard configuration.
              3. nslookup with NIS gives incorrect aliases on
                 later lookups.
              4. BIND 4.9.3 nslookup does not handle "RP"records.
              5. nslookup returning improper aliases from the previous
                 lookup.
              6. hosts_to_named cannot handle 4 byte network address.
              7. In named 4.9.3, cache can drop root nameserver's
                 data and cannot recover.
              8. nslookup shows incorrect source of the name resolution.
              9.Bind patch PHNE_9589 does not show the latest manpages.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_9589:
              New release of BIND components version 4.9.3 for 10.00,
              10.01, 10.10 and 10.20.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_7864:
              New release of BIND components version 4.9.3 for 10.20.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_6983:
              When using hp's named as a slave/forwarder to a 4.9.2
              named,if the 4.9.2 named sends an NXDOMAIN record without
              AA in replyto a query which it has no other information,
              our named would discard it and wait for a timeout period
              (30 secs) before continuing the search. This timeout
              period can cause delays toapplications relying on named
              resolution.

    Defect Description:
            PHNE_22905:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_21999 for VVOS.

            Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_21999:
            1. JAGac79099 / SR8606128299:
               nslookup does not go through alternative domain
               entries in the search list when the nameserver
               returns a non-authoritative record with no answers.
            Resolution:
               nslookup now goes through alternative entries in the
               search list when it receives a non-authoritative record
               with no answers.

            2. JAGad09228 / SR8606139905:
               DNS and symbolic link problem.
            Resolution:
               DNS now compatible with symbolic links.

            3. JAGad23810 / SR8606154493:
                nslookup takes a very long time in responding
                due to the retransmission value being set to
                millisecs by libc. As nslookup assumes the
                value to be in seconds there was a long delay for
                responses to non-existent records.
            Resolution:
                nslookup resets timeout value in seconds if the value
                has been set in milliseconds by libc.

            4. JAGab53671 / SR1653307470:
                hosts_to_named fails to validate entries in /etc/hosts.
                Also this script takes a very long time to execute
                when /etc/hosts contains a large number of entries.
            Resolution:
                hosts_to_named now checks for non-numeric values in
                IP addresses of /etc/hosts entries. It also avoids
                calling a function multiple times thereby reducing
                the time taken to execute this program.

            PHNE_21288:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_20618 for VVOS.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_20618:
            1. JAGac40451 / SR8606125060:
               Boundary conditions are not handled properly.
            Resolution:
               The boundary conditions have been addressed.

            2. JAGaa57264 / SR5003446138:
               BIND 4.9.7 running as internal nameserver
               and forwarding queries to external nameserver
               fails when the lookup address has a CNAME
               record with a higher TTL than its corresponding
               A record.
            Resolution:
               The query packet header was not properly framed.
               Now a proper header is sent in the query packet.

            3. JAGab69094:
               If the name being queried has at least one dot,
               nslookup appends domain name instead of
               trying it as it is, at the very first query.
            Resolution:
               If the name has atleast one dot in it, nslookup
               looks up the name as it is at the very first time.

            4. JAGab84583 / SR8606112269:
               In NCPM environment "named"(BIND 4.9.7) keeps
               on consuming memory and after few days runs out
               of memory and eventually exits.
            Resolution:
               The memory has been freed properly after its use.

            5. JAGab21142 / SR1653306647:
               ER by customer to disable XSTATS
               information logged to syslog.
            Resolution:
               The "-X" command line option is provided
               to disable XSTATS information that is logged
               to syslog.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_7495:
            named was unable to identify the relocatable IP address
            assigned to a local network interface. Queries received
            from resolver clients would be answered, however, the
            source IP address in the response would be the base IP
            address of the network interface rather than the
            relocatable IP address. The resolver would drop the
            response.

            PHNE_16204:
              Repackaged HP-UX patch PHNE_14617 for VVOS.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_14617:
              1. Upgrade to Bind 4.9.7
              2. Bug in forwarders implementation causes name
                 resolution to fail when forwarders are used.
              3. A bug in initialisation causes problem in the
                 Serviceguard environment.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_10494:
              1. Upgrade to Bind 4.9.6
              2. Bind 4.9.3 closes the socket on a relocatable IP
                 when a database reload occurs.
              3. Aliases from the last lookup appears in the next
                 nslookup, if the new address being looked up does
                 not have an alias.
              4. nslookup is not able to handle "RP" records.
              5. nslookup returns the alias of the previous lookup.
              6. hosts_to_named creates wrong db files if a 4 byte
                 network address is specified.
              7. Bug in 4.9.3 causes named to stop working after 3
                 or 4 days and has to be restarted.
              8. nslookup does not show the actual source of the
                 name resolution.
              9.Bind patch PHNE_9589 does not remove cat1m.Z files.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_9589:
              New release of BIND components version 4.9.3 for 10.00,
              10.01, 10.10 and 10.20.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_7864:
              New release of BIND components version 4.9.3 for 10.20.

              Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_6983:
              The problem occurred due to a bug introduced in BIND
              version 4.9.2. This bug has been fixed in BIND 4.9.3.
              HP's namedversion 4.8.3 did not accept the erroneous
              response receivedfrom BIND 4.9.2. Even though our version
              of named was no in error, we now accept such a response
              in order to better interoperate in BIND 4.9.2 environment.

                     patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful
                     when using this feature.
