WARNING - LATEST SLES 11 PATCHES

WARNING - LATEST SLES 11 PATCHES CAUSING HIGH CPU USAGE
This may only apply to my site, but I wanted to let others know right away. I just applied the latest SLES11 SP3 patches this AM to our Primary server. Upon reboot I am seeing java processes associated with ZCM services using up to 100% CPU time across multiple processors. Me server is crashing every 10 minutes or so. I have opened an SR.
Be careful. I will report back.

> This problem has been solved and it turned out to be our server
drivers. It appears that the updates caused our HP health monitor
drivers to misbehave and initiate a reboot when one was not needed. I
have removed these drivers and things are looking better.
Thanks for letting us know.

Latest HR Global Patch

Hi,
As far as i know, These are the steps to follow the HR Global Patches..
My version is 11.5.10.2...I think HRMS Family Pack will be 11i.HR_PF.H...
I want to apply HRMS Legsliation patches for Australia (AU)...
These are the steps which i want to follow
(a) For AU, if I want to apply the Latest HR Global Patches, I need to have my HR PF should be in 11i.HR_PF.K and RUP1....So I will apply the these patches
(b) Next Apply the GLOBAL Patches 6196112, 6339534,6348219
(c) Next download AU Legsliative patch 6071863
(c) Next run the DATA Install
(d) Next Apply HRGLOBAL.drv
Is the above steps correct..please suggest

(a) For AU, if I want to apply the Latest HR Global
Patches, I need to have my HR PF should be in
11i.HR_PF.K and RUP1....So I will apply the these patchesFYI, 11i.HR_PF.K.DELTA.2 is available (Patchset 5337777)
(b) Next Apply the GLOBAL Patches 6196112, 6339534,6348219 In case you decided to go with (Patchset 5337777 - 11i.HR_PF.K.DELTA.2), then you would need to apply Patch: 6242856 - HRGLOBAL: SCHEMA AND DRIVER GLOBAL FILES FOR 11I.FP.K.RUP2
Other than that, your steps look fine.

Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

If by latest OS patches you mean - does SAP retest MII every time MS puts out a new patch or critical update, then the answer would be no (probably not overly surprising).
This would be more impacted in 11.5 because of IIS and the only-Windows operating system, but with v12.x and the platform/OS combinations supported by NetWeaver, MII is really abstracted from the O/S through NetWeaver so that would be the angle to pursue with regard to re-testing and validation. I most assuredly cannot speak to the validation process for NetWeaver pertaining to operating system patches and updates, but I would assume OS service pack levels would be dealt with according to release cycles, but it would be very reactive for every patch that comes along for each of the operating systems in the matrix (http://service.sap.com/pam).

How do I Determine the latest product-specific patches for EBS 10.1.1 updgr

I am in the process upgrading EBS 11i to 12.1.1 and currently at step 3:12 of page 3-6 (Apply latest product patches (required)) of doc Part No. E16342-03.
How do I determine the latest product-specific patches - EBS in particular?
Can someone give me the link for the "download the American English patches."
Thanks and God blesss.

Hi,
1) Is there a script that I can execute to find out exactly which are the installed products on our system so as to select the right products from the 'Product or Product Family'?How to Establish if a Product is Installed in e-Business Suite 11i [ID 420648.1]
2) I have installed 12.1.1 and I believe I have to upgrade to 12.1.3 but with the dozens of documentations around the upgrade it is just so difficult to pinpoint exactly which way to move forward with. For example I have lead to

Latest (November) EIS-Patching ISO for Solaris SPARC & X86 systems download.

Hi All,
I hope someone can assist as this has given me a headache for the last few days.
I require the latest (November) EIS-Patching ISO for Solaris SPARC & X86 systems.
I require the ISO and not just the Patch set.
Please advise.
Kind regards,

Problem of SIGPOLL(SI_NOINFO) in latest Solaris9 kernel patch

Hi,
We are facing a rather strange problem with the latest kernel patch on Solaris 9. (Generic_112233-08). We had not faced this problem with any of the other kernel patches of Solaris 9.
Our application has a main thread and a single child thread (pthread). The main thread schedules aio_writes() on the raw disk interface and lets the child thread block on sigwaitinfo() to listen to the signal completion notification. This is communicated to it via the SI_ASYNCIO code of SIGPOLL. The child thread then informs the main thread by writing to a bi-directional pipe. Since the main thread has registered for read interest on the bi-directional pipe (via /dev/poll) it is informed of the completion of the aio_write() without having to block itself. Under normal circumstances, the child thread receives SIGPOLL with SI_ASYNCIO code.
This application has been running fine on all the previous builds of Solaris (Generic, Generic_112233-04, Generic_112233-06) on sparc platform expect with the latest kernel patch. The child thread now keeps receiving SIGPOLL with SI_NOINFO code. There has been no change in our application and we are perplexed to the reason of this behaviour. Since it is SI_NOINFO there is not much debugging information we can get.
We have been able to replicate this behaviour using a small stand-alone program. We are attaching it at the end of the email. We tried this program on a couple of different Sparc systems and were able to reproduce this behaviour on one of them but not on the other.
Has anybody faced problems with regard to SIGPOLL in the latest kernel patch of Solaris 9 for sparc systems ?
Thanks
Regards

WRT120N Latest firmware BUG & PATCH

Hello,
I just bought a WRT120N Wireless Access Point. I upgraded its firmware to the latest available (v1.0.04) but there is a BUG in the "Applications & Gaming" section. In particular, in the "Single Port Forwarding": two applications with the same internal port, even with different IP addresses, can be added and the error message is "Port Number is duplicate.".
This behavior is incorrect and can be explained with an example: let us assume we have two web server behind the NAT. Both are listening on the default port 80/tcp and have address 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3. It is possible to forward the data received by the router on port 80/tcp to the web server 192.168.1.2 and the data received by the router on port 8080/tcp to the web server 192.168.1.3. This is allowed because everything is unique: if the router receive a packet on port 80/tcp it have to rewrite the destination IP address and insert 192.168.1.2 while if it receive a packet on port 8080/tcp it have to rewrite the destination IP address and tcp port (192.168.1.3 and 80). It is irrelevant that final port destination is the same. Of course, it is important that the two rules have a different external port: otherwise the router could not distinguish between them but the internal port is irrelevant (as long as two rules are not identical).
The BUG is circumscribed in the JavaScript since I tried to "nop" the wrong check with Firefox/Firebug and the rules are correctly memorized in the configuration and they works without issues.
I Fixed the JavaScript and, in the following, there is the patch. Actually, this patch does not solve another minor BUG: theoretically it is possible to redirect two different external ports to the same couple internal IP/port. The solution is trivial too, but this would require rewrite a larger portion of code, so I decided to not fix this minor BUG because it is less severe and the scenario is less common.
This BUG seems tightly related to http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=85768&query.id=245618#M85768 but that one is on another router/firmware (that I do not own) so I do not know if this patch apply to that BUG too.
Please let me know if you need further informations

+                       if (a == b2 && a3==b4 ) // Internal IP must be checked only for internal ports.
                                if ((a2 == 99)||(a2 == b3)) return true;

First of all I would suggest you to reset the router for 45 seconds and reconfigure all the settings again as you have upgraded the router's firmware.
What is the IP address you are getting from the modem...?
What happen when you connect the computer directly to the Modem..?
Do not load the backup config file on the router.After resetting the router,reconfigure all the settings again.

SLES OES Patching using ZCM - Best Practice?

Have recently updated an underused ZLM 7.3 to ZCM 11 and have started to utilise it to perform patching of SLES 10 SP3 and OES 2.
At present I have a Novell subscription that downloads from novell NU as Patches with
Create Category based Bundle Groups on.
I hadn't at this point got my head around the sandbox but now want to utilise this as I don't want to implement it willy nilly and have patches deployed and installed without testing first.
So first question is whether there is a best practice document for using ZCM 11 for patching SLES 10 and Sles/oes boxes that describes how best to use the sandbox.
Next question is whether sandbox applies to the patches or only monolithic bundles
At the end of the day it would be great to have a best practice document on how to utilise ZCM with change control over keeping SLES10/OES boxes patched up to date

Hello,
updates via ZCM is also a problem for me.
At least i could give a little response from testing.
As stated in the oes2 documentation patches had to be used for updates. At that point i had the problem that the subscription only created a bundle group which included the patches.
The monolithic bundle seems to be an ordinary update (zcm docu states rpm -U ...) and so should not be used for oes2 servers.
I found out that its ok to rename the patch bundle group created by the subscription to fix the patchlist. I use bundle names which include the date to keep updates from sles and oes in sync.
So you should be able to do updates with these bundlegroups without problem but it is not very nice because each patch bundle had its on log report and entry in the bundle list.
So to keep a global view is not very easy.
The other problem is that there is no official documentation neither on the oes2 or the zcm site how to correct update/patch a sles or oes system with zcm (without patchlink).
Hope this will be included soon as all linux satellite server will have the problem that this is the only way to get updates without direkt connection to the internet - at least as far as i can see.

What is the latest Solaris 8 Patch Cluster available?

Latest 10g upgrade/patch.

Can anyone point me to a document listing the current recommended latest 10.1.2 app server for forms.
We install app server at customer sites and try to get them on the latest 10g recommended oracle app server
We currently do 10.1.2.0.2
patchset to 10.1.2.3
Then use merge patch 9282569.
I have since seen bundle patch 9593176. Does this need applying on top of the merge patch or instead off?
Is there any document i can keep up to date with to ensure we are installing latest available stuff?
Thanks

Instead of...
Actually when you apply 9593176, it will tell you that it will have to rollback 9282569.

The latest Lookout fix patch causes an error.

I applied the latest fix patch for Lookout 4.5.1 dated 3/8/2002. It now causes this error when I attempt to open my program: "Cbl has caused an error in ALLBRAD.CBX. Cbl will now close." If I restore the original ALLBRAB.CBX the problem does not occur. Any ideas?

We just currently put up the fixed ALLBRAD.CBX - check it out!
www.ni.com/support > Drivers and Updates > Search Drivers and Updates > type 'Lookout 5' and you should get the link for 'Lookout 5.0 for Windows -- Fixes'
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: You should be able to use the driver CBX version 5.0 in Lookout 4.5.1. Or you might consider to upgrade to Lookout 5.0. www.ni.com/lookout.

Other details? Umm, I'm using a Mac. Never had problems before version 4.0. It happens on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, GomTV, among other video sites. I loaded the same videos in Safari and they play fine.

Latest round of patches on fabric booted system causes Solaris 10 to hang

I have a fairly stock install of Solaris 10 6/06 on a T2000 which uses a Emulex HBA to boot from Xiotech SAN attached disks.
I installed the following patches:
118712 14 < 16 R-- 24 SunOS 5.10: Sun XVR-100 Graphics Accelerator Patch
120050 05 < 06 RS- 28 SunOS 5.10: usermod patch
120222 16 < 17 R-- 19 SunOS 5.10: Emulex-Sun LightPulse Fibre Channel Adapter driver
120629 02 < 08 R-- 24 SunOS 5.10: libpool patch
120824 08 < 09 R-- 39 SunOS 5.10: SunBlade T6300 & Sun Fire (T1000, T2000) platform patc
121118 11 < 12 R-- 21 SunOS 5.10: Sun Update Connection System Client 1.0.9
122660 08 < 09 R-- 17 SunOS 5.10: zones patch
124258 03 < 05 RS- 19 SunOS 5.10: ufs and nfs driver patch
124327 -- < 04 R-- 34 SunOS 5.10: libpcp patch
120222 16 < 17 R-- 19 SunOS 5.10: Emulex-Sun LightPulse Fibre Channel Adapter driver
When I rebooted the system it will no longer boot up.
If I do a {ok} boot -m milestone=none and attempt to start all the services by hand, I see:
svc:/platform/sun4u/mpxio-upgrade:default (Multipath upgrade)
State: offline since June 4, 2007 4:05:58 PM CDT
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M stmsboot
See: /etc/svc/volatile/platform-sun4u-mpxio-upgrade:default.log
It appears the mpxio-upgrade script is failing to start.
If I run /lib/svc/method/mpxio-upgrade by hand the script hangs and can not be killed. Since I am on console the only want to recover is to send-brk and reboot. I truss'ed it and the last device it was trying to read is:
82: open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
82: ioctl(5, 0xDF82, 0x00000000) = 57311
This is the second time this has happened in the last 2 months. The first time the problem was resolved with a new kernel patch. However Sun could not tell me what the exact problem was.
Has anyone else run into SAN/Fabric booted servers failing to boot after various patches?

We have discovered the problem. It has nothing to do with SAN booting at all. It has to do with having a device plugged into the serial port. I was using this system to act as serial console for another device in the same rack. When the Sun kernel engineering asked me to unplug the serial cable and reboot I was skeptical, but it worked.
Sun has filed this as a bug. The only work around right now is to make sure you have nothing plugged into the serial port.
