Dear AFS Contacts -- We have recently discovered information regarding HPUX 10.20 patches that can be installed to prevent core file corruption. These patches are not required for AFS to install or function properly. The AFS 3.4a ports release of HPUX 10.20 will run successfully on "out of the box" HPUX 10.20 systems. However, should you encounter problems down the road and would need to send us a core file, the installation of these patches from HP will eliminate any possible core file corruption. The following patches are available from Hewlett-Packard: "Patch PHKL_8533 for s800 and PHKL_8532 for s700 are needed for PA/RISC 2.0 systems to avoid a core file corruption." Please treat this email as an informational sharing and not a recommendation by Transarc since the patches are cumulative and include other patches that we may not be aware of. You should contact HP for their recommendation and advice regarding installation. Kathy Rizzuti Area Manager, File Systems Support Transarc Corporation
