Defect Description:
PHSS_29865:
Id = HSLco33216 SR:H555007363
After MC/ServiceGuard failover, semaphore locking
problem and problem with cleaning shared memory
occur. Since semaphore lock and shared memory
are not cleaned after failover, all licenses are
taken and there is no free license available for use.
Resolution:
Semaphores and shared memory are properly cleaned.
Id = HSLco40343 SR:H555009725
Insufficient information regarding the "MaxMAperSM"
global options variable in the Administrator's Guide
and Release Notes.
Resolution:
Complemented the definition of the "MaxMAperSM"
variable in the Administrator's Guide and Release
Notes.
Id = HSLco42498 SR:H555010638
OmniBack II limitation of 80 KB, reserved for
the list of backup specifications, is exceeded.
Resolution:
Backup specification description data which is passed
to the GUI twice, also at querying every single backup
specification, has been left out to secure more space
in the message.
Id = HSLco42700 SR:H555010730
CRS intermittently ends abnormally
on the HP-UX 11.x systems.
Resolution:
CRS is functioning correctly.
Id = HSLco42792 SR:H555010787
Binaries are not properly build.
Resolution:
Binaries are properly build.
Id = HSLco42864 SR:H555010817
With particular configurations of load balancing,
waiting sessions do not obtain freed-up drives
and they abort.
Resolution:
Session waits when there are no HP-UX or Windows
drive licenses available.
Id = HSLco42946 SR:H555010850
Bad option ("-- number") in the internal database (IDB)
causes filename not to run.
Resolution:
During readdb/writedb process, bad options are skipped.
Id = HSLco42970 SR:H555010860
Omnitrig process does not start any backup at all if
the "holidays" file includes a syntax error. The
"holidays" file is read at the beginning, before
omnitrig starts the scheduled backups. In case of
a syntax error, omnitrig aborts execution, which
prevents omnitrig to read the scheduler files
and to execute backups at scheduled times.
Resolution:
Omnitrig behavior in case of syntax errors in the
"holidays" file is changed. Now omnitrig continues
with an execution in such cases, which means that
the syntax errors are skipped, logged to the
"debug.log" file and most important scheduled backups
are started.
Id = HSLco43090 SR:H555010910
When all devices are locked and device used for backing
up Logical Logs resource type is not included in the
DYNAMIC range, the backup session will stop responding
and the backup will not complete successfully.
Resolution:
Unused device will be unlocked when the global options
variable "BackupDeviceIdle" times out. The new device
will be locked then and used for a backup session.
Part of SSPUX410_077.
Id = HSLco43483 SR:H555011095
When a mount script is configured to issue an
"omniabort" command, anytime a mount request is issued
and not responded to by the time mount script is
called, BSM ends abnormally after the mount script
calls the "omniabort" command.
Resolution:
BSM functions properly when the "omniabort"
command is used.
Id = HSLco43526 SR:H555011119
OmniBack II recognizes i686 as non-Intel
architecture, hence required license is the UNIX
type license.

BSM abnormally ends a session with only the SSE
license available before checking whether there
is an attempt to put the locked device in a queue.
Resolution:
BSM first checks whether there is an attempt to put
the locked device in a queue. If it is, then it checks
for the SSE license. If only the SSE license is
present, then the session is ended abnormally.

Each time a needed device is released by concurrent
session, timeout is reset. If session does not get the
device because it is outran by another session, session
waits for another "SmWaitForDevice". Theoretically,
session can wait for the unlimited amount of time.
Resolution:
Timeout is reset only at the beginning of the
DEVLOCKQUEUE-DEVLOCK state. This is forced by
initializing timeout only at the beginning of
session and when all needed devices are locked.

It can happen that media positions remain in
database. When you try to import the medium
an error occurs.
Resolution:
New "DbForceImportIfPositionsExist" variable is
introduced in global file. When set to 1 it forces
medium import even if medium positions exist.
Id = HSLco41742
Meta files are linked to the last medium used by NDMP
backup. When importing first (other than last) medium
to Omniback II database, object versions are
entered into the database. Since they already exist
in the database it is assumed that the database
reference to the meta file also exists while
importing the last tape, but that is not the case.
Resolution:
Only when the old object versions already contain
reference to the meta-file is the old object version
copied over the newer and the reference to the meta
file is assumed to be already existing. By default
reference to meta-file is reestablished.
Id = HSLco41744

When running "omnirpt" command all the cell servers from
the "mom_info" and the local Cell Server are queried for
matching sessions. The virtual node and the local host
are actually the same machine, so the matching sessions
are listed twice.
Resolution:
The function gethostname() is not used any more to
determine if the inspected host is also the local host,
cause in case of a Manager-of-Managers/ServiceGuard
environment it returns the physical node hostname and
not the virtual node hostname, making the virtual
hostname being seen as a non-local host. In this way
the virtual hostname is not queried for matching
sessions any more.

In split mirror environment with huge SAP databases
it can happen that the size of the message buffer
OmniBack II uses is too small to receive complete list
of SAP files to be backed up.
Resolution:
Setting the OB2IPCBUFSIZE environment variable in the
/opt/omni/.omnirc file on Cell Server, R1 and R2 hosts,
specifying the desired amount of memory to be used for
the buffer solves the described problem.
Please read the following instructions and make sure
that the patches listed in "Other Dependencies" section
(see below) are installed and the environment
variable is set on Cell Server, R1 and R2 systems before
running the backup!
How to determine the buffer size?
---------------------------------
N_obj: number of objects (files)
N_fs: number of file systems
N_lvmvg: number of volume groups
N_dg: number of disk groups
N_rdsk: number of rawdisks
Obj: Object Name
ObjBack: Object Backup Name
MntPathLen: Path name on backup (R2) host
(example: /var/opt/omni/tmp/App_host)
fsmnt: File System Mount Point
fsdev: File System Device File
(example: /dev/dsk/[c0t1d1,lvol1])
vg: Volume group
(ex: /dev/vg01)
dg: Disk group (VxVM) - dependence on mapfile
which is required for creating disk group
(example:/dev/vx/dsk/dg01)
rdsk: Raw disk file name
(example: /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1)
AvgLen_<xxx> average length of <xxx>
There are two different buffers used:
1. BSM <-> R1
2. R1 <-> R2
Calculating the BSM <-> R1 buffer size
--------------------------------------
MsgSize_BSM_R1 = N_obj * (AvgLen_Obj + 1 + MntPathLen)
Calculating the R1 <-> R2 buffer size
-------------------------------------
MsgSize_R1_R2 =
N_obj*(AvgLen_Obj+1+AvgLen_ObjBack) +
N_fs*(AvgLen_fsmnt*2 + MntPathLen + AvgLen_fsdev*2)+
N_lvmvg*(AvgLen_vg*2) + N_dg*(AvgLen_dg*2) +
N_rdsk*(AvgLen_rdsk*2)
Calculating the OB2IPCBUFSIZE value
-----------------------------------
OB2IPCBUFSIZE > max (MsgSize_BSM_R1, MsgSize_R1_R2)
RESTORE NOTE:
-------------
If restore is started using the sapbda utility,
the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be exported to
environment prior to starting sapbda.
Known problems:
---------------
If the calculated variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE is correctly
set, but is still too small for the file list to fit
into the message buffer, the session will fail with
the following error seen in the report:
BR295I Splitting mirror disks...
BR280I Time stamp <time>
BR279E Return code from '/opt/omni/lbin/ob2smbsplit
/<sap_homedir_path>/.<filename>.lst': 2
BR299E Split/resynchronization of mirror disks failed
In this case the variable OB2IPCBUFSIZE must be
recalculated to appropriate value. See above how to
determine it.

Last message from Disk Agent is sometimes lost. This
causes Disk Agent's status reported as "Failed".
Resolution:
New environment variable:
OB2VBDASLEEPBEFORECLOSE
is introduced.
Its default value is 0. Setting it to a positive
number, in /<OMNIBACK_HOME>/.omnirc file, it specifies
number of seconds to pass before Disk Agent completes
after sending the last block of data.

In environments where the firewall between Cell Server
and client(s) with firewall idle timeout of <x>
minutes is present, it can happen that an agent is in
idle state for the amount of time longer than mentioned
timeout. In such cases, firewall breaks the connection
between Cell Server and the client(s).
Resolution:
New environment variable OB2IPCKEEPALIVE is introduced.
Setting its value to any of YES, TRUE, ON or 1 in
/opt/omni/.omnirc file on Cell Server causes sending a
dummy package from time to time in order to keep the
connection open.

By design, whenever there are no objects backed up,
OmniBack II ends session as failed.
Resolution:
Two new global variables have been introduced:

Setting this variable to 1 user can change the
OmniBack II behavior in order to end the session
as successful when there are no objects backed up.
b) TreatScriptReturnAsNormal
Setting this variable to a certain number instructs
OmniBack II to treat all the script returns equal
to the specified number as normal.
