PATCH UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: ---------------------------------- Please refer to the Release Notes for Installation and Uninstallation Instructions. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- Sun introduced a page ordering vnode optimization in Solaris 9 and 10. The optimization includes a new vnode flag, VMODSORT, which when turned on indicates that the Virtual Memory (VM) should maintain the v_pages list in an order depending on if a page is modified or unmodified. Veritas File System (VxFS) can now take advantage of that flag, which can result in significant performance improvements on operations that depend on flushing,such as fsync. This optimization requires the fixes for Sun BugID's 6393251 and 6538758 which are included in the Solaris kernel patch listed below. Enabling VxFS VMODSORT functionality without the correct OS kernel patches can result in data corruption. Required operating system patches: (Solaris 9 SPARC) 122300-11 (or greater) dependent patches: 112233-12 117171-17 118558-39 To enable VxFS VMODSORT functionality, the following linemust be added to the /etc/system file after the vxfs forceload: set vxfs:vx_vmodsort SUMMARY OF FIXED ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- 2662259 The De-duplication session does not complete. SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:148452-01 * INCIDENT NO:2662259 TRACKING ID:2609002 SYMPTOM: The deduplication session does not complete.The /lost+found/dedupdb/log/spoold/storaged.log contains following message: ERR [1543]: 25004: Queue processing failed five times in a row. Queue processing will be disabled and the CR will no longer accept new backup data. Please contact support. DESCRIPTION: The deduplication database engine did not handle simultaneous queue processing and querying from different threads. RESOLUTION:The code is modified to handle both operations correctly when issued by different threads. INCIDENTS FROM OLD PATCHES: --------------------------- NONE
