Unicode Kernel Patch Update

Hi,
I want to Update the Unicode kernel patch of my ECC 6.0 system.
Since ,there is no run folder in a Unicode system,how do we go about it.
Since downtime on a Production system is a huge constraint,I dont want to mess up things.
Please help.
Thanks,
saba.

Static library not accessed properly after Solaris Kernel patch update !

Hi,
We are facing a sever issue in our application after our customer updated the Solaris 10 kernel patch u9 to u10.
We have two static libraries libdlib.a and libDLIB.a, with exactly same code base, but these two libraries are scattered across the code base and linked by many shared objects in our application.
However, one of the shared objects that links to "libdlib.a" library tries to access a function from "libDLIB.a". This behavior is causing a crash at a later point, since that shared object is supposed to access the function from "libdlib.a". Moreover, we found this is happening through the use of dbx.
I'm unable to understand why this problem surfaced after kernel patch update, though still the shared object works fine on Solaris 10 u9 patch.
Flow is something like this :
1. syslogrecorder.so gets loaded by one of the processes.
2. syslogrecorder.so is linked to "libdlib.a" at compile time, so it uses "libdlib.a" function DLIB_LoadLibrary and gets a handle to all the function pointers of the loaded library ( The purpose of DLIB_LoadLibrary is to load a shared library dynamically using dlopen )
3. syslogrecorder.so tries to do a "dlsym" and to do that it needs access to the library handle which we got in previous call DLIB_LoadLibrary. So syslogrecorder.so calls another function from DLIB_ProcAddress, which actually gives back the access to the loaded shared library.
Here is a catch in step 3, it is supposed to call DLIB_ProcAddress from the libdlib.a but as we observed from dbx output it does so by calling DLIB_ProcAddress from libDLIB.a and hence fails to give back the access to loaded shared library, causing crash at a later point in code.
Can someone put some light here that why this could happen ??
Thanks
Kuldeep

To clarify: You did not modify or rebuild any of your binaries, but after installing a kernel patch, the application stopped working. Most likely, something about your application depended on a accidental behavior of the runtime loader. That accidental behavior changed due to the patch, and your application failed.
For example, if there is a circular dependency among shared libraries, the loader will break the cycle at an arbitrary point to establish an initialization order. By accident, that order might work, in the sense of not causing a problem. A change to the loader could cause the cycle to be broken at a different point, and the resulting initialization order could cause a now-uninitialized object to be accessed. I'm not saying this is what is wrong, but this is an example of a dependency on accidental loader behavior.
Finding your actual problem will require tracing the sequence of operations leading up to the failure. You are more likely to find help in a Solaris linker forum. AFAIK, there are currently no Oracle forums for Solaris, and the old OpenSolaris forums have been converted to mailing lists. You can try the "tools-linking" list found on this page:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo
I also suggest you review the paper on best practices for using shared libraries written by Darryl Gove and myself:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/linkinglibraries-396782.html
If you have a service contract with Oracle, you can use your support channel to get more help.

Kernel patch updation for solaris 10 x86

I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please guide me..

Patch 118855-36 is the latest kernel patch for Solaris 10 on x86 and its dependencies are:
113000-01 117435-02 118344-14 119043-09 119255-14 121264-01 122035-01 123840-01 (or greater)
Whether you should go ahead and install the patch is up to you, if possible try it out on a test box first. For better advice on this matter, I would suggest posting in the Solaris 10 forum as this forum is for the Sun Update Connection, Patch Manager & PatchPro toolsets.

Kernel patch update for solaris 10 x86

For Solaris 10 x86 the latest offered with smpatch is 125101-07 and yes it may be recommended to patch. Then again you said clustered with sun cluster? You may want to check the documentation and if your machines aren't facing the internet you may wait for 7/07 to hit the street and do an upgrade.

Steps for Kernel Patch Updation on Solaris 10 X4100 with 2disks mirrored

Hi all,
I have Solaris 10 10/06 (118855-19) installed on one of the X4100 server. This is the time for me to update the latest kernel patch (118855-36). We have two disks mirrored. My questions are,
1) Do i need to detach any of the disk from the mirror before doing any patching.
2) Is it possible to install the patches without detaching any disks from the mirror. (i.e. installeing patch on mirrored root filesystem)
3) how to boot from the second disk in case the patch installation creates problem while booting up.
Any suggestions or steps which you have already implemented for the above scenario.

This isn't really a question for this forum, you may be better to look at some of the sys-admin forums for a complete answer.
You should not need to break the mirror in order to apply the kernel patch, however doing so would allow for quicker recovery of the system should something go wrong during patching.
I would strongly advise that you read the special install instructions for the kernel patch prior to installing it.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-118855-36-1
You may also wish to use a patch cluster rather than smpatch/updatemanager, these can be downloaded from SunSolve:

Kernel Patch Update

Hi
I have a question about updating the kernel patch to the latest version Can a kernel patch be directly updated from any lower version to the latest version by applying the latest patch even if the kernel patch number itself has changed like the below scenarios
1. Can I directly update the kernel pacth 122300-51 to 122300-57
2.Can I directly update the kernel patch 142909-17 to 144488-17
Thanks in advance

Basically, yes, but you need to take care of the patch dependencies. Usually a kernel patch with a new patch ID will require the last revision of each former kernel patch to be installed first.
Either you use patchadd on the most recent kernel patch you want to apply and then work yourself back through the patch dependencies, or you use PCA (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) which will do this job for you. Use e.g. "pca -l 144488" to get a list of all the patches which have to be installed first to get the system up to the wanted kernel patch level.

Check Db fails after kernel patch update

Hi,
I've updated kernel 710 to the latest patch "159" on my PI 7.10 system, however now Check DB fails when scheduled from DB13 with a
"Scheduling failed" error.
We have SQL 2005 & I'm able to execute the job succesfully via the SQL Managemnt console.
Also, all the other background jobs are working just fine.
Pls. help.
Thanks,
Saba.

Hello,
Since I'm on SQL, I use DB13 just for Check DB.
I've tried deleting everything & recreating the schedule, but it has'nt helped.
Even after rescheduling, SM37 doesnt reflect the scheduled jobs.
Thanks,

Hi,
Not authorized to object X60OWNER in QSYS
can you provide the job log.
try to Change RSTOBJ *CMD with EDTOBJAUT (i.e. WRKOBJ, option 2) and give *USE to R3OWNER.
if it's already authorized
then execute
FIXR3OWNS LIB(<krnlib>) OBJ(*ALL)
then execute APYR3FIX
also check following forum to apply patch on i5/OS
Kernel patch
also check following sap note if you apply tp patch higher then level 140
Note 1137680 - i5/OS: 700 tools no longer function after applying a patch

Kernel patch level upgrade

our kernel patch level is 221
now i want upgrade patch latest non unicode 64bit kernel for DB2 database
E:\usr\sap\QAS\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64
E:\usr\sap\QAS\DVEBMGS00\exe
which one correct directory..

Dear Subhash.Chandra.
You writed the patch files have to be copied both directories.
I'm finding the official document or manual of it.
I updated igs patch on one server(ecc 6.0 ides).
I copied the file to one directory(/sapmnt/SID/exe). and I found igs patch was OK(transaction : sisg).
And the the other directory(/usr/sap/SID/DV~~/exe) has same file automatically without copy.
Second Case,
I updated igs patch on our ecc dev server.
I can't update igs version with copy to only one directory.
So I copied remained directory. Then I found igs patch updated successfully.
Thank you.

System copy : As Java : Non-unicode kernel Option not available

Dear All,
we are performing AS Java system copy to create a new system , same SID , same HOST and same Configuration except OS is upgraded.
Susle Linux OS - 11 SP3
As Java Nw 701
kernel version -
NW701 - Kernel 721_Ext - Non_unicode - 201 patch level
We have successfully completed export and now we are importing the same export in new server,now while performing taget installation we are not getting option to install NON UNICODE kernel , except it is only asking for UC Kernel 7.20/7.21.
Current version of system is non-unicode and we will like to keep it that way.
May I know is non-unicode system copy option is not available? is it removed ?
and if we want to install non-unicode then how we can perform that ?
Can we install target system using UC kernel and later just perform NON-unicode kernel upgrade, will this work?
Has anyone faced such concern?
Guidance will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bond

Thanks for update RB.
We have tried this method as in we stop SAP and sync file systems and perform DB/Backup restore method. This method works but unfortunately I am not able to find any SAP relevant document to support this method for so called "java" systems.
SAP only suggest to perform system copy for "java" hence we are trying via export import. Currently I am looking into options of using old master installation software.
although, can i request you if you any SAP relevant note or kba or any other in which SAP support/suggest we can perform file system copy and db restore for "Java" systems then it will be just a thing which I need to go ahead with method you suggested.
Thanks , kindly update.
Warm Regards,

ABAP and Kernel Patches for Upgrade and Conversion in 4.6C

Hi,
We are in a process of upgrade and unicode conversion for the source release 4.6C (Kernel 46D_EXT Patch 2225).
"Combined Upgrade&Unicode Conversion Guide" for "SAP Basis 4.6C u2192 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 application Server ABAP Unicode Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Package 01 - 06" , In Software Requirements step, it says
"3. Import 4.6D Kernel patch 2326 from SAP Service Marketplace according to SAP Note 19466"
We wanted to know whether "IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY TO GO FOR THE KERNEL PATCH 2326". We dont have "EBCIDIC code pages" in our MDMP system.
We need to know becauase we are also doing OS migration from AIX to Sun and this step will add to our production downtime.
Please advice what are the other causes we should go for the kernel 2326.
Regards

Hello Mr. Nils Buerckel,
Thanks for the reply.
We wanted to be very sure whether we should used Kernel 46D Kernel patch 2326 (As it is specifically mentioned in the SAP CU&UC guide and in SAP Note 867193, It is mentioned that "This patch contains enhancements that are required to execute the "INDX Analysis" scan)
OR
Can we go for the latest kernel patch avaialable at market place? And Will the latest kernel patch also contains the "enhancements that are required to execute the "INDX Analysis" ?
Please reply
Thanks

How do I see the Kernel patch level in Java ONLY instance?

Could someone please tell me How do I see the Kernel patch level in a Java ONLY instance?
In Abap, it is simple!
In Java I see in the System Info: Kernel Version: 7.00 PatchLevel 108458.44
BUT that doesn't correspond to the real patch level which I can see when I do disp+work which gave me 111

Hello Yechezkel,
I am not sure whether the patch number you are looking for is available.
Typically you can use "-v" to display the patch level of SAP kernel programs. When I run "jcontrol -v" or "jlaunch -v", the patch number is blank (at least on the 6.40 release I checked)
The SP level should be able to tell how current the Java instance is updated, especially for NetWeaver 7 systems always patched with JSPM stack.
Best regards,
Victor

Applied Kernel Patch to Solaris 10 on v40z, no longer auto boots

I recently updated the patches on a v40z machine including a kernel patch. After rebooting, the machine would no longer automatically boot to Solaris. Instead it would just wait for user input at the Grub bootloader screen. Anyone experienced this or have a solution?
I believe the patch in question is 118855-19
# bootadm list-menu
The location for the active GRUB menu is: /boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 10
0 Solaris 10 6/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86
1 Solaris failsafe

SOLVED:
Disabled ECC in the bios (though Windows and Gentoo Linux show now trouble whatsoever with my ECC memory, solaris doesn't like it)
