This bug fix release is available for free to all licensed users of version 6.0. Your existing 6.0 license.mcl file should be used in conjunction with this patch release. DETAILS PATCH VERSION: 6.0.1 DATE OF RELEASE: 2/1/2006 VERSION PATCHED: 6.0 AFFECTED PRODUCTS: SysInfo full runtime environment SysInfo Software Developers Kit SysInfo Runtime environment without any user interface AFFECTED PLATFORMS: All supported platforms PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THIS RELEASE This release includes multiple bug fixes since the 6.0-GA release and we recommend all users upgrade to this release. The only new feature in this release is the addition of DHCP data being reported for each network interface on Linux and Windows systems. The following is a cumulative list of fixes included in this release since the 6.0 product release: ######## NEW FEATURES ######## * doc/ReleaseNotes Document "Out of Memory!" error on HP-UX. * sie/class/kernel Update HPUX kernel variables list to include variables interesting for Oracle DB's. * sie/class/netif DHCP Client configuration for each interface in the NetIf class is not reported for Windows and Linux. ######## BUG FIXES ######## * api Fix incorrect call to mcPartition->Usage to be mcPartition->UsageStatus. * install Fix Windows installer to once again provide default Installation Directory. It was not providing a default when installing SysInfo for the first time on a system. * sie/class/filesys Add reiserfs as a local filesystem type. * sie/class/filesys On HPUX use frsize instead of bsize (from statfs()) which will give correct blocksize used when calculating sizes of LVM filesystems. * sie/class/general Add alternative methods for finding System Model and System Memory via lsattr on AIX. Sometimes uname and ODM don't work, but lsattr does. * sie/class/hardware Add "cmp" device definetion for Solaris to allow proper hierarchy. * sie/class/hardware Do not ignore serial number's for Hitachi/HP OPEN-E SAN devices. These devices now appear to return unique serial numbers for each disk. * sie/class/partition On some platforms under certain conditions we failed to collect all partitions due to a fundamental bug in how we returned the list of partitions. A master internal list of all discovered partitions is now * sie/class/partition Fix bug causing filesystems/partitions with the same base name to not be reported. We were stripping device names like /dev/vg1/lv1 down to lv1 when we should only trim them to vg1/lv1 since there can be a /dev/vg2/lv1. * sie/class/software Fix core dump bug on FreeBSD due to incorrect realloc() call. * sie/class/software Fix NULL deref bug causing incomplete Software class data due to not checking for zero length SoftInfo->Name. * sie/class/software Fix bug in Software discovery on HPUX which caused infinite loop. Also fixed bug in same code for parsing quoted text. * sie/class/storvol Fix problem with Capacity values not being reported for StorVolume data due to a core bug in the Partition handling code. * sie/class/storvol Fix problem with VXVM volumes not showing what filesystem is mounted on the volume. This was due to a bug where we set the wrong DevPath for each volume. * sie/class/storvol Fix problem with StorVolume report entries were not including the VolGroup name in report output. * sie/class/storvol Include the Volume Group name in each report StorVolume line. * sie/core Fix rare core dump bug in StrToArgv() when QuoteChars was specified. * sie/core Fix NULL deref crash when debug is on and a CmdOpen() uses an env var to read data. * ui Do not refer to ".." for "use lib" calls in sysinfoui as this can lead to a significant performance hit if we are run in $HOME and /home is automounted.
