Known problems and limitations
This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at the time of
publication. If workarounds are available, they are included.
Known problems and limitations in Serviceguard
• QXCR1001316351: In a very rare condition cmcld will dump core during shutdown of a
node. Since package failover takes place and application does not stop there is no visible
impact to the end user.
• QXCR1001335928: In a very rare condition cmcld may dump core when multiple commands
are run in parallel. Multiple Serviceguard command executing in parallel is an unlikely scenario
for a customer.
• QXCR1001251484 : SLES 11 SP2: "identd Service failed to start if the IPV6 stack is disabled"
• QXCR1001243955: RHEL 5.x : ssh to another node using IPv6 site-local address hangs.
• QXCR1001251481: RHEL 5.x : Empty XML doc error due to rpmReadConfigFiles() failure
