Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided
with each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special Install Instructions:
As root on the NetBackup Master Server:
1. Verify that you are running NetBackup 3.4GA.
   This patch will not work correctly with any other version.
      cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
 
2. Make sure no backups are running at the time of installation of this 
   patch. The stop all NetBackup daemons:
        /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all
 
3. After using patchadd to patch the server, run update_dbclients to update 
   clients.
 
    update_dbclients <dbextension_name> -ClientList <filename>
 
 
============================================
 
Description: 
    When the path of the notes.ini path is specified for a Lotus Notes class 
    (primarily to support a Lotus partitioned server environment), using either 
    the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] 
    SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\LOTUS_NOTES_INI or the 
    NOTES_INI_PATH= file list directive in the file list, backups are failing 
    with a Dr. Watson.  This problem was introduced in patch J0850645. 
 
Workaround: 
    If the user does not have a Lotus partitioned server environment, removing 
    the registry entry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] 
    SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\LOTUS_NOTES_INI or the 
    file list directive NOTES_INI_PATH= from the file list will prevent the 
    problem from occurring.  If the user has a Lotus partitioned server 
    environment, there is no workaround for this problem. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Description: 
    There was a limitation prior to Domino R5.0.4 that did not allow
    backup of the current Lotus transaction log extent.  With the
    introduction of this capability in Domino R5.0.4, NetBackup needs
    to be modified to correctly enumerate and backup the current Lotus
    transaction log extent. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Description: 
    When a failure is encountered (or a backup is terminated by the 
    administrator) for a backup of a Lotus Notes class, the agent does
    not currently close the Lotus database.  This can result in memory
    allocation not being released and at some point in time the Domino
    server must be restarted to release the memory. 
 
================================================================================

patchNB_LOT_34_1
================
 
Description:
    Currently on AIX and Solaris platforms when backing up Lotus Domino, no
    checking is done to determine the transaction logging style prior to
    attempting to backup available Lotus transaction log extents.  This causes
    a misleading error message: "lotus_enumerate_transaction_logs: ERR -
    Failure when processing Lotus Notes transaction logs: 0x13FF:Error Code
    Text String not found!!" in the bpbkar debug log.
 
Additional Notes:
    Backups of a Lotus Notes class that encountered the error message described
    above were in fact complete and successful.  The code that has been added
    to check for transaction logging style and to output appropriate error
    messages based on that style only improves the debug error logging and
    is intended to provide a more accurate status of backups.  This change does 
    not affect the actual backup of Lotus databases or transaction logs.
 
=============
patchS0850617
=============
 
Description:
    When attempting to backup a Lotus Notes database with a pathname containing
    Swedish characters, the backup will hang the Domino server.  The debug log
    for the bpbkar process shows that the pathname containing the Swedish
    characters is getting corrupted.  Attempts to reference the Domino API
    function to open the database will cause the Domino server to hang.
 
Workaround:
    Rename the database so that it no longer contains the Swedish characters.
