Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Install Instructions: 1) Stop the NetBackup Advanced Reporter's daemons: {NBAR_install_path}/bin/nbar stop and all other ar* processes. 2) Install patched binaries via patchadd. 3) Restart the NetBackup Advanced Reporter's daemons: {NBAR_install_path}/bin/nbar start ============================================ ================= KNOWN ISSUES ================= The following are known issues with NB_ARO_45_5_F. Please note that these known issues will NOT be resolved after installing this pack. Description: NBAR web page throws a NullPointerException if master server name is entered in uppercase letters. Workaround: Enter the master server name using lowercase letters only. Description: Timezone offset error-prone in Netscape 6.2.3. User may not be able to change date and time values using the GUI spin controls. Workaround: Set desired reference date and time values manually. Description: vmstat must be installed on AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 systems for armonitor to run Workaround: Install vmstat from the bos.acct fileset on the AIX Base Operating System CD. After you have installed vmstat, run /usr/openv/nbar/bin/nbar start to start armonitor. Description: GUI does not work in browser high-security zone For proper functioning, the NBAR GUI requires that JavaScript is enabled on the browser side. Microsoft Internet Explorer disables JavaScript in a high-security zone. Workaround: Enable "Active scripting" from the "Security" tab of the "Internet Options" dialog in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Enable JavaScript in Netscape through the Edit menu>Preferences dialog box by selecting Advanced>Enable Java. Description: Passing additional parameters in email utility incorrectly documented Workaround: Change syntax for additional parameters from (for example) p=pool1&sched=sched1 to -p "p=pool1&sched=sched1" ================= Problems Fixed ================= Description: The Troubleshooting Guide is accessible at the following URL: http://:8885/nbar/tsguide.html This URL did not work in NetBackup 4.5FP3 release of NBAR. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The customize dialog box sometimes loads an incorrect column order. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: NBAR shows an error message if a user changes the server while NBAR is displaying the properties page. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Advanced Reporter no longer returns a spurious "INFO: Error closing CLASSDATA filehandle:" message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: After applying NB_ARO_45_4_F, the NBAR daemons would not start. This was because the NBAR bin directory ended up being owned by root. The VRTS_pack.install script was changed to make sure that certain directories are owned by the NBAR user and NBAR group that were specified when NBAR was originally installed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Two issues have been addressed with this change. 1. In the original design, vmquery was called twice to collect all of the necessary data when parsing volume information on Win32. A design change now enables vmquery to collect all data across UNIX and Windows platforms in one call. 2. A change has been added that fixes volume ID's with less than six characters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Running the upgrade utility would cause the following lines of text to be displayed. NAME = c:\winnt\ardbd.ini NAME = c:\winnt\ardbd.ini NAME = c:\ardbd.ini NAME = c:\ardbd.ini This information in now suppressed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Duplicate pool IDs in the vmpools table can cause inappropriate aggregation of duplicate data. In addition, some schedules contain erroneous pool IDs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The Global Error Details report shows incorrect values for failed and other error counts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Multi-stream job properties are not displayed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: There are two flaws within the MySQL server that can be used by any MySQL user to crash the server. Furthermore one of the flaws can be used to bypass the MySQL password check or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running mysqld. There is also an arbitrary size heap overflow within the mysql client library and another vulnerability that allows a user to write '\0' to any memory address. Both flaws could allow DOS attacks against or arbitrary code execution within anything linked against libmysqlclient. A detailed explanation of the report on these vulnerabilities can be found at the following link: http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/042002.html The affected versions are all below 3.23.53a. NetBackup Advanced Reporter uses version 3.23.54a. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: While displaying properties of a restore job, NBAR sometimes displays "null" instead of a blank space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The "Summary of Status Code" and the "Error Log" reports do not show information about failed restore jobs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The Offsite Vaulting List contains a 'Description' column, that displays a description of a volume pool. If the description is blank and the user tries to sort on this field, NBAR displays an error message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: If a user modifies any of the volume pool attributes from NetBackup, the following reports may show incorrect data. 1. Expired media report and Offsite Vaulting report: Because of this defect, these reports can show multiple entries of the same media. 3. Active Backup Policies report: This report may show an incorrect number of clients. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The arconfig utility was modified to lessen the likelihood of potential adverse interactions with GDM configuration. Workaround: Do not use arconfig with GDM, but edit the Registry manually. README -- Last modified date: Friday, October 24, 2003
