Patch-ID# 101378-09 Keywords: WIDE scsi negotiation esp isp driver fw synchronous maxdma HBA reset Synopsis: SunOS 5.3: WIDE scsi negotiation and esp and isp driver fixes Date: Sep/09/94 Solaris Release: 2.3 SunOS release: 5.3 Unbundled Product: Unbundled Release: Topic: SunOS 5.3: WIDE scsi negotiation and esp and isp driver fixes BugId's fixed with this patch: 1143567 1145242 1137670 1136580 1149518 1145757 1134617 1148668 1151965 1155505 1154770 1163617 1162277 1164926 1162475 1173973 Changes incorporated in this version: 1173973 Relevant Architectures: sparc Patches accumulated and obsoleted by this patch: Patches which conflict with this patch: Patches required with this patch: Obsoleted by: Files included with this patch: /kernel/drv/esp /kernel/drv/isp /kernel/drv/sd Problem Description: 1173973 esp: scsi resets occuring more often with newer fab FAS286 chips On Sun4d systems (both sundragons and scorpions) we are getting more scsi timeout resets now with the newer reduce die FAS286 chips ( 2400150). They are no longer making the old style chip (2400121) anymore . It doesn't seem to be configuration dependent. On sundragons it occurs most often on tape devices. It also shows up more often with the 1/2 height exabyte 8 mm tape drive. (from 101378-08) 1162475 esp: Restore data pointer triggers a SCSI bus reset If a data transfer is in progress and a restore data pointer message is issued, it appears that the ddi dma window check somehow fails. The host adapter first attempts to abort the data transfer with an abort message. Failing that, it reset the bus. In any case, this translates into a hard failure. STK uses the restore data pointer message because they do not have a look-aside data buffer to handle incompressible data. They simply issue a restore data pointer message and restart the data transfer instead. Net effect, under Solaris 2.3, you can't backup your system with an STK tape drive with data compression enabled. (from 101378-07) 1164926 sd: need mechanism to restart command for sun4 if HBA returns TRAN_BUSY When user runs volumne manager on a Sun4 machine and uses CD-ROM drive, he can sometime get his regular command rejected and see message like: WARNING: /dev/ncr@3d,200000/sd@6,0 (sd7): transport rejected (0) (from 101378-06) 1162277 esp: unnecessary maxdma check within esp.c There appears to be an un-necessary DMA size check within esp.c. From what I can ascertain, the data transfers are broken into 64k transport sizes anyway, so that checking for exceeding the maxdma value does not appear to be warranted. (from 101378-05) 1163617: Part of patch 101378-03 missing For rev -01 of patch 101378, there was a prepatch script that would edit /etc/system. This script was missing from revs -03 and -04. The change to /etc/system sets scsi_options to 0x3f8. (from 101378-04) 1155505: isp: driver should always try synchronous data xfer negotiations first If drives are in synchronous mode when isp starts booting and scsi_options don't have SYNC flag set, isp tries to use ASYNC mode. That gives a lot of firmware errors. Hence, isp driver should always try SYNC negotiations first. 1154770 isp: upgrade f/w to 1.12 this f/w fix (isp_fw.c) fixes the null handle problem (spr893) (isp returns a response packet without a handle which blows up the isp driver) ; 1-7-94 ggm [spr893] the Bus_Dev_Rst_Seq_Int* ; routine was changed to process * ; the following SCSI messages: * ; BUS DEVICE RESET, ABORT, and * ; ABORT TAG. * ; 1-10-94 ggm [spr893] to correct the null * ; handle problem all decisions * ; based on the scsi_task_state are* ; now based on all 8 states. * ; (from 101378-03) 1148668 isp: timeouts and fatal errors caused by changing pkt_time 1151965 isp: f/w version 1.11 1148668: the 1093 isp driver copies the packet resp_time over to pkt_time. This is a violation of SCSA and also causes spurious timeouts and fatal errors. Furthermore, if a packet is transported with pkt_time == 0 then this means no timeout, The fatal timeout handling code should ignore these packets. 1151965: this is a f/w release from qlogic (1.11) which will go in prom 1.17 this release fixes: SPR 898 - Enhancement Call Syserr spr 899 - Set parity enable bit correctly spr 900 - Fix for system hang when response queue gets full spr 901 - Set dqcb_cmd_depth_limit correctly spr 902 - Patches for earlier SPR894/897 spr 885 - Correct ise of throttle. (IGOR's request) (from 101378-02) 1136580 1149518 1145757 1134617 1149518: the esp driver does not handle target initiated sync mode correctly which causes a hang and timeout if the negotiation is immediately followed by a data xfer the problem is in programming the offset and period registers. The req/ack delay is correctly set in the soft copy of this register but not in the register itself. The next time the register is programmed, the soft copy value is used and then there is no problem which is why this bug was not noticed before. 1136580: Heavily loaded SS600MP with DSBE/S on SES/B panics. Please see bug itself for the actual configration where this happens. 1145757: esp does not issue a device scsi reset when you call scsi_reset(ROUTE, RESET_TARGET) from sd driver. instead it issues a test unit ready. it will impact all target drivers that issue scsi_reset to a particular device. scsi_reset(ROUTE, RESET_ALL) works still. 1134617: Getting "WARNING: Processor level 3 SBus interrupt not serviced" message during C2+ bootup of alpha2.0-a and alpha2.0-b. (from 101378-01) 1143567 esp: eliminate warning message for wide scsi negotiation rejection 1145242 isp: disble default SCSI_WIDE capability 1137670 sd: add support for wide data tranfer negotiations These bugs deal with WIDE scsi negotiation. 1145242 SCSI_WIDE capability should be disabled for isp for all targets by default. only if target driver wishes, WIDE capability should be turned on by a per target basis. 1143567 When ever a SCSI disk drive initiates a wide data transfer negotiation, the esp host adapter driver correctly rejects the message (it's not a wide host adapter). BUT, it then prints out warning messages which are displayed on both the console and logged in the messages file. This guarantees we will have customers calling up about this "problem". 1137670 The disk driver does not check the inquiry data to see if wide xfers are supported by the drive. The driver should check the inquiry data first before asking the HBA to negotiate wide transfer size. This is to maintain compatibility with our current installed base of SCSI disk drives. This bug currently prevents us from mixing wide and narrow devices on an ISP since the narrow devices do not all behave correctly. Patch Installation Instructions: -------------------------------- Generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts are provided within each patch package with instructions appended to this section. Other specific or unique installation instructions may also be necessary and should be described below. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- none Instructions to install patch using "installpatch" -------------------------------------------------- 1. Become super-user. 2. Apply the patch by typing: installpatch where is the directory containing installpatch, and is the directory containing the patch itself. Example: # cd /tmp/123456-01 # ./installpatch . 3. If any errors are reported, see "Patch Installation Errors" in the Command Descriptions section below. Rebooting the system or restarting the application after a successful patch installation is usually necessary to utilize patch. NOTE: On client server machines the patch package is NOT applied to existing clients or to the client root template space. Therefore, when appropriate, ALL CLIENT MACHINES WILL NEED THE PATCH APPLIED DIRECTLY USING THIS SAME INSTALLPATCH METHOD ON THE CLIENT. See the next section for instructions for installing a patch on a client. Instructions for installing a patch on a dataless client -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Before applying the patch, the following command must be executed on the server to give the client read-only, root access to the exported /usr file system so that the client can execute the pkgadd command: share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/exec//usr The command: share -F nfs -o ro,root= \ /export/exec//usr accomplishes the same goal, but only gives root access to the client specified in the command. 2. Login to the client system and become super-user. 3. Continue with step 2 in the "Instructions to install patch using installpatch" section above. Instructions for installing a patch on a diskless client -------------------------------------------------------------------- ** To install a patch on a diskless client, you may either follow the instructions for installing on a dataless client (that is, you may logon to the client and install the patch), or you may use the following instructions to install the patch while on the server. 1. Find the complete path for the root directory of the diskless client. 2. Install the patch normally, but add the command option -R to the command line. should be the completely specified. Example: # cd /tmp/123456-01 # ./installpatch -R /export/root/client1 . Instructions for backing out a patch using "backoutpatch" ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Become super-user. 2. Change directory to /var/sadm/patch: cd /var/sadm/patch 3. Backout patch by typing: /backoutpatch where is the patch number. Example: # cd /var/sadm/patch # 123456-01/backoutpatch 123456-01 4. If any errors are reported, see "Patch Backout Errors" in the Command Descriptions section below. Instructions for backing out a patch on a dataless client ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Give the client root access to /usr as specified in the installpatch section. 2. Logon to the client and follow backoutpatch instructions as specified above. Instructions for backing out a patch on a diskless client ----------------------------------------------------------- ** To backout a patch on a diskless client, you may either follow the instructions for backout on a dataless client (that is, you may logon to the client and backout the patch), or you may use the following instructions to backout the patch while on the server. 1. Find the complete path for the root directory of the diskless client. 2. Backout the patch normally, but add the command option -R to the command line. should be the completely specified. Example: # cd /export/root/client1/var/sadm/patch # ./123456-01/backoutpatch -R /export/root/client1 123456-01 Instructions for identifying patches installed on system: ---------------------------------------------------------- Patch packets that have been installed can be identified by using the -p option. To find out which patches are installed on a diskless client, use both the -R option and the -p option, where is the fully specified path to the client's root directory. #cd /tmp/123456-01 #./installpatch -p #./installpatch -R /export/root/client1 -p Also note that the command "showrev -p" will show the patches installed on the local machine, but will not show patches installed on clients. Command Descriptions -------------------- NAME installpatch - apply patch package to Solaris 2.x system backoutpatch - remove patch package, restore previously saved files SYNOPSIS installpatch [-udpV] [-S ] backoutpatch [-fV] [-S ] DESCRIPTION These installation and backout utilities apply only to Solaris 2.x associated patches. They do not apply to Solaris 1.x associated patches. These utilities are currently only provided with each patch package and are not included with the standard Solaris 2.x release software. OPTIONS installpatch: -u unconditional install, turns off file validation. Allows the patch to be applied even if some of the files to be patched have been modified since original installation. -d Don't back up the files to be patched. This means that the patch CANNOT BE BACKED OUT. -p Print a list of the patches currently applied -V Print script version number -S Specify an alternate service (e.g. Solaris_2.3) for patch package processing references. -R Specify an alternate package installation root. Most useful for installing patches on diskless clients while logged on to the server. backoutpatch: -f force the backout regardless of whether the patch was superseded -V print version number only -S Specify an alternate service (e.g. Solaris_2.3) for patch package processing references. -R Specify an alternate package installation root. Most useful for removing patches on diskless clients while logged on to the server. DIAGNOSTICS Patch Installation Errors: -------------------------- Error message: The prepatch script exited with return code . Installpatch is terminating. Explanation and recommended action: The prepatch script supplied with the patch exited with a return code other than 0. Run a script trace of the installpatch and find out why the prepatch had a bad return code. Fix the problem and re-run installpatch. To execute a script trace: # sh -x ./installpatch . > /tmp/patchout 2>&1 The file /tmp/patchout will list all commands executed by installpatch. You should be able to determine why your prepatch script failed by looking through the /tmp/patchout file. If you still can't determine the reason for failure, contact customer service. Error message: The postpatch script exited with return code . Backing out patch. Explanation and recommended action: The postpatch script provided with the patch exited with an error code other than 0, and the patch has not previously been applied. Installpatch will execute backoutpatch to return the system to its pre-patched state. Create a script trace of the installpatch (see above) and find out why the postpatch script failed. Correct and re-execute installpatch. If you are unable to determine why the postpatch script failed, contact customer service. Error message: The postpatch script exited with return code . Not backing out patch because this is a re-installation. The system may be in an unstable state! Installpatch is terminating. Explanation and recommended action: The postpatch script provided with the patch exited with an error code other than 0. Because this is a re-installation of a patch, installpatch will not automatically backout the patch. You may backout the patch manually using the backoutpatch command, then generate a script trace of the installpatch as described above. Find out why the postpatch failed, correct the problem, and re-install the patch. If you are unable to determine why the postpatch script failed, contact customer service. Error message: Patch has already been applied. Explanation and recommended action: This patch has already been applied to the system and no additional patch packages would be added due to a re-installation. If the patch has to be reapplied for some reason, backout the patch and then reapply it. Error message: Symbolic link in package Symbolic links can't be part of a patch. Installpatch is terminating. Explanation and recommended action: The patch was incorrectly built. Contact customer service to get a new patch. Error message: This patch is obsoleted by patch which has already been applied to this system. Patch installation is aborted. Explanation and recommended action: Occasionally, a patch is replaced by a new patch which incorporates the bug fixes in the old patch and supplies additional fixes also. At this time, the earlier patch is no longer made available to users. The second patch is said to "obsolete" the first patch. However, it is possible that some users may still have the earlier patch and try to apply it to a system on which the later patch is already applied. If the obsoleted patch were allowed to be applied, the additional fixes supplied by the later patch would no longer be available, and the system would be left in an inconsistent state. This error message indicates that the user attempted to install an obsoleted patch. There is no need to apply this patch because the later patch has already supplied the fix. Error Message: None of the packages to patch are installed on this system. Explanation and recommended action: The original packages for this patch have not been installed and therefore the patch cannot be applied. The original packages need to be installed before applying the patch. Error message: This patch is not applicable to client systems. Explanation and recommended action: The patch is only applicable to servers and standalone machines. Attempting to apply this patch to a client system will have no effect on the system. Error message: The -S and -R arguments are mutually exclusive. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified both a non-native service to patch, and a package installation root. These two arguments are mutually exclusive. If patching a non-native usr partition, the -S option should be used to patch all clients using that service. If patching a client's root partition (either native or non-native), the -R option should be used. Error message: The service cannot be found on this system. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified a non- native service to patch, but the specified service is not installed on your system. Correctly specify the service when applying the patch. Error message: The Package Install Root directory cannot be found on this system. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified a directory that is either not mounted, or does not exist on your system. Specify the directory correctly when applying the patch. Error message: The /usr/sbin/pkgadd command is not executable. Explanation and recommended action: The /usr/sbin/pkgadd command cannot be executed. The most likely cause of this is that installpatch is being run on a diskless or dataless client and the /usr file system was not exported with root access to the client. See the section above on "Instructions for installing a patch on a diskless or dataless client". Error message: packages are not proper patch packages. Explanation and recommended action: The patch directory supplied as an argument to installpatch did not contain the expected package format. Verify that the argument supplied to installpatch is correct. Error message: The following validation error was found: Explanation and recommended action: Before applying the patch, the patch application script verifies that the current versions of the files to be patched have the expected fcs checksums and attributes. If a file to be patched has been modified by the user, the user is notified of this fact. The user then has the opportunity to save the file and make a similar change to the patched version. For example, if the user has modified /etc/inet/inetd.conf and /etc/inet/inetd.conf is to be replaced by the patch, the user can save the locally modified /etc/inet/inetd.conf file and make the same modification to the new file after the patch is applied. After the user has noted all validation errors and taken the appropriate action for each one, the user should re-run installpatch using the "-u" (for "unconditional") option. This time, the patch installation will ignore validation errors and install the patch anyway. Error message: Insufficient space in /var/sadm/patch to save old files. Explanation and recommended action: There is insufficient space in the /var/sadm/patch directory to save old files. The user has two options for handling this problem: (1) generate additional disk space by deleting unneeded files, or (2) override the saving of the old files by using the "-d" (do not save) option when running installpatch. However if the user elects not to save the old versions of the files to be patched, backoutpatch CANNOT be used. One way to regain space on a system is to remove the save area for previously applied patches. Once the user has decided that it is unlikely that a patch will be backed out, the user can remove the files that were saved by installpatch. The following commands should be executed to remove the saved files for patch xxxxxx-yy: cd /var/sadm/patch/xxxxxx-yy rm -r save/* rm .oldfilessaved After these commands have been executed, patch xxxxxx-yy can no longer be backed out. Error message: Save of old files failed. Explanation and recommended action: Before applying the patch, the patch installation script uses cpio to save the old versions of the files to be patched. This error message means that the cpio failed. The output of the cpio would have been preceded this message. The user should take the appropriate action to correct the cpio failure. A common reason for failure will be insufficient disk space to save the old versions of the files. The user has two options for handling insufficient disk space: (1) generate additional disk space by deleting unneeded files, or (2) override the saving of the old files by using the "-d" option when running installpatch. However if the user elects not to save the old versions of the files to be patched, the patch CANNOT be backed out. Error message: Pkgadd of package failed with error code . See /tmp/log. for reason for failure. Explanation and recommended action: The installation of one of patch packages failed. Installpatch will backout the patch to leave the system in its pre-patched state. See the log file for the reason for failure. Correct the problem and re-apply the patch. Error message: Pkgadd of package failed with error code . Will not backout patch...patch re-installation. Warning: The system may be in an unstable state! See /tmp/log. for reason for failure. Explanation and recommended action: The installation of one of the patch packages failed. Installpatch will NOT backout the patch. You may manually backout the patch using backoutpatch, then re-apply the entire patch. Look in the log file for the reason pkgadd failed. Correct the problem and re-apply the patch. Patch Installation Messages: --------------------------- Note: the messages listed below are not necessarily considered errors as indicated in the explanations given. These messages are, however, recorded in the patch installation log for diagnostic reference. Message: Package not patched: PKG=SUNxxxx Original package not installed Explanation: One of the components of the patch would have patched a package that is not installed on your system. This is not necessarily an error. A Patch may fix a related bug for several packages. Example: suppose a patch fixes a bug in both the online-backup and fddi packages. If you had online-backup installed but didn't have fddi installed, you would get the message Package not patched: PKG=SUNWbf Original package not installed This message only indicates an error if you thought the package was installed on your system. If this is the case, take the necessary action to install the package, backout the patch (if it installed other packages) and re-install the patch. Message: Package not patched: PKG=SUNxxx ARCH=xxxxxxx VERSION=xxxxxxx Architecture mismatch Explanation: One of the components of the patch would have patched a package for an architecture different from your system. This is not necessarily an error. Any patch to one of the architecture specific packages may contain one element for each of the possible architectures. For example, Assume you are running on a sun4m. If you were to install a patch to package SUNWcar, you would see the following (or similar) messages: Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcar ARCH=sparc.sun4c VERSION=11.5.0,REV=2.0.18 Architecture mismatch Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcar ARCH=sparc.sun4d VERSION=11.5.0,REV=2.0.18 Architecture mismatch Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcar ARCH=sparc.sun4e VERSION=11.5.0,REV=2.0.18 Architecture mismatch Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcar ARCH=sparc.sun4 VERSION=11.5.0,REV=2.0.18 Architecture mismatch The only time these messages indicate an error condition is if installpatch does not correctly recognize your architecture. Message: Package not patched: PKG=SUNxxxx ARCH=xxxx VERSION=xxxxxxx Version mismatch Explanation: The version of software to which the patch is applied is not installed on your system. For example, if you were running Solaris 5.3, and you tried to install a patch against Solaris 5.2, you would see the following (or similar) message: Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcsu ARCH=sparc VERSION=10.0.2 Version mismatch This message does not necessarily indicate an error. If the version mismatch was for a package you needed patched, either get the correct patch version or install the correct package version. Then backout the patch (if necessary) and re-apply. Message: Re-installing Patch. Explanation: The patch has already been applied, but there is at least one package in the patch that could be added. For example, if you applied a patch that had both Openwindows and Answerbook components, but your system did not have Answerbook installed, the Answerbook parts of the patch would not have been applied. If, at a later time, you pkgadd Answerbook, you could re-apply the patch, and the Answerbook components of the patch would be applied to the system. Message: Installpatch Interrupted. Installpatch is terminating. Explanation: Installpatch was interrupted during execution (usually through pressing ^C). Installpatch will clean up its working files and exit. Message: Installpatch Interrupted. Backing out Patch... Explanation: Installpatch was interrupted during execution (usually through pressing ^C). Installpatch will clean up its working files, backout the patch, and exit. Patch Backout Errors: --------------------- Error message: prebackout patch exited with return code . Backoutpatch exiting. Explanation and corrective action: the prebackout script supplied with the patch exited with a return code other than 0. Generate a script trace of backoutpatch to determine why the prebackout script failed. Correct the reason for failure, and re-execute backoutpatch. Error message: postbackout patch exited with return code . Backoutpatch exiting." Explanation and corrective action: the postbackout script supplied with the patch exited with a return code other than 0. Look at the postbackout script to determine why it failed. Correct the failure and, if necessary, RE-EXECUTE THE POSTBACKOUT SCRIPT ONLY. Error message: Only one service may be defined. Explanation and corrective action: You have attempted to specify more than one service from which to backout a patch. Different services must have their patches backed out with different invocations of backoutpatch. Error message: The -S and -R arguments are mutually exclusive. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified both a non-native service to backout, and a package installation root. These two arguments are mutually exclusive. If backing out a patch from a non-native usr partition, the -S option should be used. If backing out a patch from a client's root partition (either native or non-native), the -R option should be used. Error message: The service cannot be found on this system. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified a non- native service from which to backout a patch, but the specified service is not installed on your system. Correctly specify the service when backing out the patch. Error message: Only one rootdir may be defined. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified more than one package install root using the -R option. The -R option may be used only once per invocation of backoutpatch. Error message: The directory cannot be found on this system. Explanation and recommended action: You have specified a directory using the -R option which is either not mounted, or does not exist on your system. Verify the directory name and re-backout the patch. Error message: Patch has not been successfully applied to this system. Explanation and recommended action: You have attempted to backout a patch that is not applied to this system. If you must restore previous versions of patched files, you may have to restore the original files from the initial installation CD. Error message: Patch has not been successfully applied to this system. Will remove directory Explanation and recommended action: You have attempted to back out a patch that is not applied to this system. While the patch has not been applied, a residual /var/sadm/patch/ (perhaps from an unsuccessful installpatch) directory still exists. The patch cannot be backed out. If you must restore old versions of the patched files, you may have to restore them from the initial installation CD. Error message: This patch was obsoleted by patch . Patches must be backed out in the order in which they were installed. Patch backout aborted. Explanation and recommended action: You are attempting to backout patches out of order. Patches should never be backed-out out of sequence. This could undermine the integrity of the more current patch. Error message: Patch was installed without backing up the original files. It cannot be backed out. Explanation and recommended action: Either the -d option of installpatch was set when the patch was applied, or the save area of the patch was deleted to regain space. As a result, the original files are not saved and backoutpatch cannot be used. The original files can only be recovered from the original installation CD. Error message: pkgrm of package failed return code . See /var/sadm/patch//log for reason for failure. Explanation and recommended action: The removal of one of patch packages failed. See the log file for the reason for failure. Correct the problem and run the backout script again. Error message: Restore of old files failed. Explanation and recommended action: The backout script uses the cpio command to restore the previous versions of the files that were patched. The output of the cpio command should have preceded this message. The user should take the appropriate action to correct the cpio failure. KNOWN PROBLEMS: On client server machines the patch package is NOT applied to existing clients or to the client root template space. Therefore, when appropriate, ALL CLIENT MACHINES WILL NEED THE PATCH APPLIED DIRECTLY USING THIS SAME INSTALLPATCH METHOD ON THE CLIENT. See instructions above for applying patches to a client. A bug affecting a package utility (eg. pkgadd, pkgrm, pkgchk) could affect the reliability of installpatch or backoutpatch which uses package utilities to install and backout the patch package. It is recommended that any patch that fixes package utility problems be reviewed and, if necessary, applied before other patches are applied. Such existing patches are: 100901 Solaris 2.1 101122 Solaris 2.2 101331 Solaris 2.3 SEE ALSO pkgadd, pkgchk, pkgrm, pkginfo, showrev, cpio
