- MSM 4.4.1 Installation CD
- All the patches mentioned in this document are in the \patches (on
unix /patches) directory.
- MSM 4.4.1 Installation Diskette
- All the patches mentioned in this document are available on the
Patches diskette included with your distribution.
- Web
- All patches mentioned in this document and all future patches to
MSM version 4.4.x are available from the InterSystems
FTP site (ftp://ftp.intersys.com/pub/msm/patches) as soon as they
are released.
InterSystems recommends that
you install the following patches immediately after installing MSM 4.4.1.
Adding and Expanding Databases
Patch: DB40fix.ZIP
Function
This patch corrects three errors
in MSM-Server, Version 4.4.x.
- When adding a database
volume to an existing volume group, if the file name of the volume
being created was longer than 64 characters, it was not handled properly,
leading to errors during creation and mounting.
- When adding a database
volume to an existing volume group, one block in an existing volume
could be corrupted resulting in DKHER errors in the newly created
volume.
Installation: UNIX
- Run DB40fix.exe.
- Move the appropriate file to your UNIX system and uncompress it:
- P12765L.RTN.Z
- For little endian platforms
- P12765A.RTN.Z
- For MSM-UNIX on Digital UNIX Alpha processors
- P12765B.RTN.Z
- For big-endian MSM-UNIX systems (excluding Digital UNIX on Alpha
processors)
- Load the appropriate RTN file into the MGR UCI via D ^%RR.
Installation: Intel-based PCs
- Run DB40fix.exe.
- Load the appropriate RTN file into the MGR UCI via D ^%RR.
Note: This patch is for Intel based DOS, Windows
95, 98 and NT systems only. Do not use this on Digital Alpha NT systems.
If you have a Digital Alpha NT system, contact InterSystems support
for help. This archive can only be unzipped on 32BIT systems. If you
do not have access to a 32BIT capable architecture, contact support
for this patch.
Platform Specific Issues
HP/UX 10.20
InterSystems recommends not upgrading HP/UX version 10.20 systems to
MSM 4.4.1 because of a known memory leak problem. Systems of the problem
include system crashes caused by out of memory errors and system freezes.
InterSystems is still investigating this problem.
Procedure: To Recover Lost Memory
- Load the USEROPS routine from the hp44mem.rs routine save file using
^%RR.
- If USEROPS already exists on your MSM system, insert the patch code
into the routine at the label HP44FIX so it executes as part of the
label ENDPART.
Note: Restarting MSM will also free up the used memory.
These patches add functionality but are not required for
your MSM system to run correctly.
Cross-System Journaling and Failover
Patch: EN101125A.RTN is for Digital UNIX for
the Alpha processor.
EN101125U.RTN is for all other MSM-UNIX platforms.
EN101125.GL is for all MSM-Server platforms.
Function
This patch enables completes the functionality associated
with Cross-System Journaling described in the MSM Version 4.4 Release
Notes.
MSM now supports two types of Cross-System Journaling.
- Cross-System Journaling - very similar to the
Cross-System Journaling feature of MSM Version 4.0. Cross-System Journaling
is very easy to configure but includes no failover capabilities.
- Server Management - the same as the Client/Server
Management feature of MSM Version 4.3. Server Management is more robust,
and handles both manual and automatic "failover" for servers
that are down.
InterSystems recommends using both of these two features
concurrently to ensure the best possible data protection.
Installation
- Load the routines from the appropriate RTN file into the MGR UCI
with the %RR utility.
- Delete the SYSGEN global.
- Restore EN101125.GL via the %GR utility.
These fix known problems that
some customers have experienced. If you have had any of these problems,
you should install the appropriate patch.
Erase Display Escape Sequences (PC/PLUS only)
Patch: P12805.exe
Function
Corrects a problem involving the "erase display"
escape sequences in which background colors are not honored properly.
This error exists in MSM version 4.3.x as well.
Installation
- Run P12805.exe
If you are upgrading from a
previous version of MSM, you may also need MSM 4.4 documentation. This
documentation is included on your CD in PDF format and available for
download in searchable PDF format from ftp://ftp.intersys.com/pub/msm/misc/docs/msm44/smsmdocbeta.zip.
