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/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
        example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
1. Patch Release Information
----------------------------
 
* Add inquiry string for PetaSite S-series with S-AIT tape drives. in patch -08.
 
* Tracing is turned off in patch -06 (which matches the man page).
 
* nstreams has been increased from 16 to 256 in patch -06.
 
* Add support of SONY Super AIT drive in patch -06.
 
         Rfe 4880276 -verify SONY Super AIT tape drive.
 
     The sample S-AIT drive supplied by SONY is verified as a stand
     alone manually mounted drive. A new media type "sa" is added for
     this device.
 
* Support is added for STK T9840C drive in patch -06.
     The T9840C drive is verified using the L700 library.
 
* Potential catalog access problems after patch installation
 
     Bug id 4689547 describes the potential for multiple sam-catserverd
     daemons to be running at the time of patch installation.  
     As a result, the potential for catalog access problems exists after 
     patch installation.  This can also cause problems with archiving.  
     Messages such as the following may be apparent in /var/adm/messages 
     after mounting a SAM filesystem following patch installation:
 
        SAM-init: license: cannot attach catalog for eq 41
        unable to open catalog .
 
     A similar message may be apparent in the samu display.
 
     The workaround is to issue the following commands after the
     patch has been installed:
 
        # samd stop
        # samd start
 
 
 * The samu N display has been corrected by the fixes for bugids
   4800352 and 4839829.
   The display is rearranged and the sync_meta value is shown.
   Several items formerly on separate lines are now shown on the same line.
   The value "default" is now shown if sync_meta, stripe, minalloc size,
   or maxalloc size are not set.
 
 * Patches 113170-03, 113171-03, 113172-03, 113174-03, 113175-03, 113173-03
     were WITHDRAWN due to three significant issues discovered in
     the patches after the patches were posted to sunsolve.
 
     The issues found in these patches could result in file system or
     data corruption or data inaccessibility under certain conditions.
 
     Subsequent patch packages (113170-04, 113171-04, 113172-04, 113174-04,
     113175-04, 113173-04 and higher) were created to address these issues.
 
     Issue 1: File system corruption may occur if customers execute
     samfsck -F on a file system that contains more than 8 million inodes.
 
     Issue 2: Data corruption may occur if customers trigger staging of
     file data from a shared file system client. This corruption will
     only occur if the stage is triggered from a client and the process
     that triggers the stage is either interrupted or requires only a
     portion of the file to be retrieved.  In both cases, the file is
     truncated to the length of data requested.
 
     Issue 3: Data inaccessibility may occur if customers use disk
     archiving to protect files that have pathnames that are equal to
     or greater than 100 characters. The file disk archive copies are
     not corrupt but they cannot be staged successfully.
 
 * The QFS metadata server changeover feature released in the 4.0 version
     of the product is now fully supported as of patch -04.  This was noted 
     in 4.0 base README file as bugid 4721477.
 
     In a SAM-QFS environment, procedures have also been created to
     allow the SAM-QFS catalog to failover across servers.  Automated
     scripts and documentation for these procedures are available via
     Sun Professional Services.  Contact your local Sun sales office
     for more information.
 
 * SAM-QFS Involuntary Failover Problem
 
     When performing an involuntary failover in a SAM-QFS environment,
     explicit stage requests initiated by the stage command or by user
     applications are lost if the stage is in progress.  Since the
     failover process can take a few minutes to complete, subsequent
     stage requests will get processed by the new server.  If an
     involuntary failover occurs, it is important to check the results
     of mass staging to ensure all files were staged correctly.
 
     If you issue the stage command without the -w option, it could take
     up to five minutes from the time SAM gets restarted on the new server
     for the staging to actually get restarted.  If the -w option is
     specified on the stage command, it takes about one minute for the
     actual staging to get restarted once SAM is restarted on the new
     server after the failover.
 
 * Solaris Compatibility Issue
    This patch was tested on the Solaris 9 5/02 and Solaris 9 9/02
    releases.  There was a subsequent fix put in to newer versions
    of Solaris that could result in a system panic. These newer
    versions of Solaris are listed below:
        - Solaris 9 12/02
        - Solaris Patch 112233 (SunOS 5.9 Kernel Patch released 10/30/2002).
 
    Please be aware of a possible panic situation if you are running
    these newer versions of Solaris with either of these SAM-QFS
    patches: 113172-03, 113175-03.
 
 * Support is added for ACSLS 6.1 in patch -04.
 
 * Support is added for the following hardware:
	Sun and Quantum SDLT320 tape drive added in patch -04.
	Sun StorEdge L7 and L8 autoloaders added in patch -04.
	Overland Data Inc. Neo Series Tape Libraries.
 	Network-attached Scalar 1000 and Scalar 10000 libraries. 
	SAM-FS now supports DAS 3.10E and support for 3.1 is discontinued.
     	Sun StorEdge L25 and L100 (ATL M1500 and M2500) libraries in patch -02.
 
 * New sfind option - bugid 4727090
     The "partial_on" test is added as an sfind option.  This test is true
     if the file has the partial-release attribute set and the partially
     retained portion of the file is online.
 
 * Tape and robot install issue with Sun StorEdge(tm) SAN 4.0 and 4.1.
     Bugid 4717179 notes installation difficulties when configuring
     devices included in Sun SAM-FS or Sun SAM-QFS environments through
     Fibre Channel connections.
 
     As a workaround for this bug, an additional step needs to be added
     to the installation instructions.  Page 70 and 71 of the 'Sun QFS,
     Sun SAM-FS, and Sun SAM-QFS Installation and Configuration Guide',
     part number 816-2543-10, explain how 'To Add a Target Device or
     LUN'.  Step 6, as it appears on page 71, needs to change.  It
     becomes steps 6 and 7, as follows:
 
     New Step 6.  Issue a cfgadm(1M) command for each automated library
                  or drive included in the Sun SAM-FS or Sun SAM-QFS
                  environment through a Fibre Channel interface.
                  (Optional)
 
                  You must perform this step if you are running Sun
                  StorEdge 4.0 or 4.1 software and you have not yet
                  configured the Fibre Channel automated libraries or
                  drives.
 
                  Because of a bug in the cfgadm(1) command, you should
                  expect a device busy error.  However, the command
                  *does* completely process the request.  For example:
 
                  # cfgadm -c configure -o force_update c4::500104f000489fe3
                  cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node:
                  500104f00043abfc: Device busy
 
     New Step 7.  If you have added new devices since running pkgadd(1M),
                  run the samdev(1M) or devfsadm(1M) command to create the
                  device entries in /dev/samst.
 
                  In a Sun Solaris 7 OE, enter the following command:
 
                  # /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/samdev
 
                  In a Sun Solaris 8 or 9 OE, enter the following command:
 
                  # /usr/sbin/devfsadm -i samst
 
 
 * SBus configurations may require patch 112244-02. 
     If an X6757A SBus Fibre Channel HBA is used to access either libraries
     or tape drives used by SAM-FS, patch 112244-02 must be installed.
 
 * Quotas - bugid 4782791
     The Sun QFS environment supports disk quotas.  Quotas can be set 
     for disk file and block counts on per-user, per-group, and per 
     administrative ID bases.
 
     The squota(1), samquota(1M), samquotastat(1M) command are installed 
     by default in all Sun QFS, Sun SAM-FS, and Sun SAM-QFS environments, 
     but they are supported on Sun QFS file systems only.  For more 
     information, see the AVAILABILITY fields of the man pages.
 
 * Conversion of /etc/opt/LSCsamfs/samlogd.cmd when upgrading from 3.5.0
     The staging code in 3.5.0 has been replaced by a new stager daemon
     in release 4.0.  If you had stage logging directives in 
     /etc/opt/LSCsamfs/samlogd.cmd, you must add the equivalent directives 
     to /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/stager.cmd to have the same logging functionality 
     under Sun SAM-FS 4.0.
 
     If your /etc/opt/LSCsamfs/samlogd.cmd file looked like this, for example:
         stage=/var/opt/SUNWsamfs/log/stager start
 
     You should have the following in /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/stager.cmd:
         logfile = /var/opt/SUNWsamfs/log/stager
 
     See the stager.cmd(4) man page for more details.
