 Patch Id::PHCO_42093

 * Incident no::2361363	 Tracking ID ::2361361

 Symptom::The qio scripts are not present in the DBED package

 Description::The scripts /opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_convertdbfiles 
,/opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_convertdbfiles_ora ,/opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_getdbfiles 
,/opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_getdbfiles_ora ,/opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_recreate 
,/opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_recreate_ora are missing in the VRTSdbed package

 Resolution::The files have been added.

 * Incident no::2395173	 Tracking ID ::2395171

 Symptom::The vxdbd daemon uses Medium or Low ciphers

 Description::The vxdbd daemon and its client traditionally do not use any ciphering to 
communicate. This is not favorable in certain situations and hence there is a need 
to provide communication using configurable ciphers.

 Resolution::The latest VRTSat libraries are used which set a configurable parameter in the 
profile file /opt/VRTSdbed/eat/root/.VRTSat/profile/VRTSatlocal.conf. Specifically 
the "SSLCipherSuite" parameter needs to be set to appropriate ciphers to be used. 
To make use of this feature 
1. The "SSLCipherSuite" should be set to the appropriate cipher strings in the 
/opt/VRTSdbed/eat/root/.VRTSat/profile/VRTSatlocal.conf file
2. The daemon should  be restarted after setting the environment variable 
VXDBD_USE_ENCRYP=1
3. All the client side scripts/binaries need to be run with the environment 
variable  VXDBD_USE_ENCRYP=1 set.

Note: 
By default LOW ciphers are not supported once this feature is used. The default 
SSLCipherSuite string is SSLCipherSuite"="HIGH:MEDIUM:!eNULL:!aNULL:!SSLv2".

An example for a SSLCipherSuite strings is ,
"SSLCipherSuite"="ALL:!aNULL:!SSLv2:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:!MEDIUM:+HIGH"

 * Incident no::2395194	 Tracking ID ::2395192

 Symptom::The vxdbd daemon consumes excessive CPU.

 Description::The vxdbd daemon listens on TCP port 3233 for client connections. When a client
connects, the server loops by design in vxdbd_handle_connection(). However, this
looping is eventually supposed to end. In this case, for some connections and
under some unknown conditions, it doesn't.

For whatever reason, vxdbd threads are stuck in this loop continuing to read and
write to these sockets while the number of looping threads grows over time.
Meanwhile, the sockets are in an IDLE state which means the client is no longer
active on the connection.

 Resolution::The read_n function was incorrectly returning a positive value in case of error,
which caused its caller to loop indefinitely.  The function was fixed to correctly
return a negative value on error.
