Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
For Solaris 7-8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/115861-03
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 115861-03
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
4926836 San Manager has "No Contact" with host that has fully confi minnow (1024 lun)
This bug was caused by a timeout.  The remote agent was still gathering data
while the management station timed out waiting for it.  If you are running into
these timeouts, this patch will nott fix the problem, but it makes the timeout
value configurable so that it can be fixed.  Once you change the timeout to a 
larger value, the problem should clear up.
 
To see if you are running into this particular timeout problem, look in the 
/var/opt/SUNWstm/sssm/log/storade.log.* files on the management station for 
errors that look similar to this:
 
09/26 15:41.45 com.sun.jade.device.util.DeviceHandler$Instrumentation.isHung:308
ERROR:Device instumentation hung for device: StorAdeHBA_System:809ccxxx
 
 
If these messages are in the log, then once this patch is applied, you will 
need to increase the timeout value.  Do this by creating a
CC_DeviceHandler.hang_time value in the file:
 
/opt/SUNWstm/sssm/etc/properties/InstallerService.properties 
 
on the management station.  Here is an example of the edit you would make to 
change the timeouts:
 
CC_DeviceHandler.hang_time=600000
 
The timeout value is in milliseconds.  The example above will increase the 
timeout to 600000 milliseconds (ten minutes).  The default is 300000 (five 
minutes); this is the value used if a CC_DeviceHandler.hang_time does not exist
in the file.  The CC_DeviceHandler.hang_time does not exist in the file by 
default, so it will need to be added if a user wishes to increate the timeout.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4925635 Add syslog notifier for alarms
 
This patch makes ESM capable of sending alarms to the syslog.  After the patch
is installed, this feature must be enabled before any alarms will actually be
sent to the syslog.  To enable this feature, use the command:
 
/opt/SUNWstm/sssm/sbin/esmsyslog enable
 
To turn off logging to syslog, use the command:
 
/opt/SUNWstm/sssm/sbin/esmsyslog disable
 
The product must be running for the esmsyslog command to run successfully.
 
By default, only alarms of severity Major and above are sent to the syslog.
To change the severity threshold, edit the file 
/opt/SUNWstm/sssm/util/pgsql/nsm1/bin/alarmlog.properties.  ESM will need to
be restarted for any changes to this file to take effect:
 
/opt/SUNWstm/bin/esmcontrol -m restart
 
Messages are logged as facility 'user' with a level of 'info' as the default.
Please see the man pages for syslog.conf(4) for more information about logging
facilities and users.
