Continentalclusters Version A.08.00 Release Notes, March 2013

Continentalclusters does not support OpenSSH
• What is the problem?
Continentalclusters does not get installed when HP-UX Secure Shell is not installed. Hence,
Continentalclusters cannot be used on any supported version of OpenSSH.
• What is the workaround?
Complete the following steps:
1. If HP-UX Secure Shell is not installed, then install HP-UX SecureShell version greater than
A.04.50.021.
2. Install Continentalclusters version A.08.00.
3. Create a link from /usr/bin/ssh to the path where OpenSSH is installed.
4. Completely stop HP-UX SecureShell by running the /sbin/init.d/secsh stop
command.
5. Remove any S and K links for HP-UX SecureShell from the /sbin/rc*.d directories.
6. Make sure Continentalclusters user conclusr has permission to execute OpenSSH.
7. Distribute the ssh keys using the csshsetup command as documented in Designing

Continentalclusters commands may output a misleading error message
• What is the problem?
When Continentalclusters command is executed, it may fail with a misleading error message.
For example, when cmcheckconcl is executed, it may fail with the following message:
# cmcheckconcl -v -C CC.ascii
Parsing the configuration file .......Done
Analyzing the configuration.
Error - Cannot apply configuration. Reason : No cluster by the Name <clustername>
But the cluster with the name <clustername> exists in the configuration.
• What is the workaround?
This can happen when the Continentalclusters user, conclusr does not have MONITOR
access in the cluster configuration. To assign a MONITOR role to conclusr, see section
Setting up Security with Continentalclusters version A.08.00 in the Designing Disaster Recovery
HA Clusters using Metrocluster and Continentalclusters, April 2011 manual available at http://
