Error on installing patch PHNE_25913

[Patrick Wallek]

What is the error you are getting?

Note in the "Other Dependencies:" area of the patch readme file:

"The latest version of F/W must be upgraded."

If you haven't upgraded the firmware on the device, go ahead and do that before trying to install the patch again.

First I did install the updated firmware successfully. Then I tried to install this patch in SAM but I received the following error message and I don't know what to do next. The Analysis Phase succeeded without errors or warnings.

The problem described above is a known problem for ACC 2.40.00 and 2.40.01. The problem is caused by a missing reference to buf.h in a script. Use one of the following work arounds to correct this problem:

1. If the kernel build fails on an NIO-bus system (e.g. K-class), edit the /usr/conf/sio/pdn0_spc.h file and add the following statement to the first line of the file:
#include "/usr/conf/h/buf.h"

2. If the kernel build fails on a PCI-bus system (e.g. A, B or C-class) or EISA-bus system (e.g. D or R-class), edit the
/usr/conf/sio/pdn1_spc.h file and add the following statement to the first line of the file:
#include "/usr/conf/h/buf.h"


Hope that helps,

The /usr/conf/sio/pdn1_spc.h file doesn't exsist. Is this a new file to be added?

[Ross Martin]

Looks like my notes were for a specific patch that had to do with diagnostics -- not muxes -- the file mentioned is not relavent to your situation -- sorry for the confusion.

You may have a bad copy of the patch -- look at the size of the patch and compare it with what the ITRC download site says it should be.

Try downloading and installing again.

You might want to try a reboot before installing the patch in the event system resources are being tied up that are needed for swinstall to "do its thing"

Sounds good hear but I do have another question.
Right now I am in SAM and when I try to abort the install, it tells me that aborting could leave my server in an unknown state making it unusable.
If there a danger of aborting this patch installation?

Oh, by the way, my name is Michelle and I am using my boss' login.

Thanks.

Hi,
Under /stand I have to following files that have changes.
/stand/system
/stand/rootconf

/stand/vmunix file has not been changed

Under /stand/build. These are newly modified:
conf.c
config.mk
config.mod
dlkm.vmunix_test
mod_wk.d
tune.h

If I about the installation what am I to do with the newly modified files? Do I copy the /stand/system.prev back to /stand/system?
