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.

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.
