ECO KIT SUMMARY:
A dupatch-based, Early Release Patch kit exists for HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-4
that contains solutions to the following problem(s):
Tape drives being used with the HP Tru64 Unix V5.1B-4 tape driver and
no-rewind tape special device files can rewind between writing files,
resulting in overwriting files or save sets that were previously written to
the tape. The problem will only occur on tape drives that declare support
for asymmetric logical unit access (ALUA) while the cam_ccfg_aa_enable
sysconfig variable is set to its default value of 1, for example on HP
Ultrium-4 drives.
The Patch Kit Installation Instructions and the Patch Summary and Release
Notes documents provide patch kit installation and removal instructions
and a summary of each patch. Please read these documents prior to
installing patches on your system.
The patches in this ERP kit will also be available in the next mainstream
patch kit - HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-5.
