HP Serviceguard Version A.11.17 Release Notes, March 2006 (revised)

Serviceguard Version A.11.17 Release Notes
Fixed in This Version
Chapter 1 37
JAGaf60449 (SR8606400494): SB/ST: Assertion failed
on run: Assertion failed: p_ptr->p_coord_state =
What was the problem? A package run/halt/mod command could be
processed when cluster reformation is still in progress. This could cause
cmcld to hit an assertion, and the node would TOC.
What was the resolution? Added additional checks to prevent Package
Manager from accepting new commands when it is in reconfiguring
state.
JAGaf60071 (SR8606400115): cmruncl: 'Failed to
communicate with DLPI' error w/ single node cluster
What was the problem? When a LAN interface configured in an IP subnet
of a cluster without any other remote interfaces in the same subnet and
the LAN cable to this interface has been disconnected or severely
damaged, the cmcld daemon on this node aborts during node start up
with the following messages in syslog:
cmcld: Unable to send DLPI info request, Bad file number
cmcld: Aborting! Failed to communicate with DLPI
What was the resolution? The cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf
commands will fail if a similar situation exists; thus preventing the
cmcld daemon from aborting unnecessarily.
JAGaf56322 (SR8606396339): SG does not provide
highest privileges for nodes with aliases
What was the problem? A defect was introduced which broke the ability
for Serviceguard to handle ip addresses in the cmclnodelist file. This
will result in the customer seeing Permission Denied errors in response
to commands.
This is only an issue before the cluster is configured. Once the cluster is
configured, the cmclnodelist file is ignored and access is controlled via
the access control policies (ACPs) specified in the cluster configuration
file. These ACPs only allow the hostname to be specified and not IP
addresses. These hostnames must also be associated with all permanent
network interface cards by adding the ip addresses to the /etc/hosts
file.
