Fixed Problems

SVM Disk Configured As Quorum Disk Creates a Problem for Agent (247870) An SVM simple disk which is configured as a quorum disk will create a problem for ptx/AGENT. Since there is no VTOC for such a disk, ptx/AGENT will report an error.

Chroot commands during install core dumping (249368) ALT Installations were failing because of this coredump

Ptxagt needs changes to take care of mib2agt change (252308) IfIndex for the devices configured under TCP will be updated periodically. For those devices not yet configured by TCP, the IfIndex will be zero.

Ptxagt and mib2agt Freeing Memory (251787) After issuing numerous random getone, getmany, and getbulk commands, ps -eal | grep agt shows a significant increase in memory usage by ptxagt and mib2agt.

Incorrect Version Number Is Being Displayed (253062) "ptx/AGENT SNMP Master Agent Version 1.3.0" is being displayed, when the correct version number is 1.4.

ptx/AGENT Unable to Attach Menus After ALT DISK INSTALL (254054)

If a user upgrades from a DYNIX/ptx V4.4.x system to a V4.6.x system using ALT INIT DELTA installation, they will see the following error message:

dynamic linker: /installmnt/usr/admin.ptx/bin/edc: symbol not found: 
_alloc_tmp_iop ./command.sh[97]: 25594 Killed
The installation process does succeed however.

When the system comes up running V4.6.x and if ptx/AGENT is installed, the ptx/AGENT Management menu will not be installed.

Workaround: Execute the following commands: /usr/admin.ptx/etc/attachments/agent.attach >/dev/null 2>&1/usr/admin.ptx/bin/edc -d add_ons/agent/configagt -- -n

Syslog reports "ptxagt: Can't open any disk matching 'od0' " (244795)

Message is generated because Optical disks do not contain a VTOC.

Workaround: None.

When one shared disk is configured as the quorum disk in a two node cluster configuration, Agent reports the disk as down.

Workaround: None.

Agent Reports All Filesystems as Non-bootable (218371)

ptx/Agent reports False for hrFSBootable on Sequent systems. It should report True for the filesystem system was booted from (usually /).

Workaround: None.
