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

Serviceguard Version A.11.17 Release Notes
Fixed in This Version
Chapter 138
A second defect in the code that does the ip address resolution via
/etc/hosts made it fail to find the correct hostname if the addresses in the
/etc/hosts file were not in the right order. This too would result in various
command failures with the message "Permission Denied".
Additionally, the code was supposed to allow the use of aliases in the
/etc/hosts file, but if the ACPs were set up using CLUSTER_NODE or
ANY_SERVICEGUARD_NODE, a root user in that cluster might be denied the
ability to execute cmapplyconf if the command came in on one of the
aliased interfaces.
What was the resolution? Code corrected to now compare the ip address
of the sender to any ip addresses listed in the cmclnodelist file. Also, the
code was changed to keep searching the ACPs until the hostname with
the highest privilege was found.
JAGaf55446 (SR8606395437): Setting cmclconfd -i in
inetd.conf logs too many messages in syslog
What was the problem? When the identd functionality is disabled by
using the -i option, the following message is logged to syslog each time
cmclconfd is executed:
cmclconfd running with weak security (identd disabled)
This can result in many duplicate messages if many cmclconfd daemons
are started. For example each Serviceguard command will result in at
least one of these messages.
What was the resolution? Add a timestamp file to limit logging this
message to specific events including first execution since boot and first
execution since the node joined the cluster.
JAGaf55071 (SR8606395057): cmgmsd core SIGBUS in
cleanup_client, inval cluster_map_pt , fd>2048
What was the problem? Serviceguard daemons, cmgmsd for example,
could not handle more than 2048 clients: cmgmsd fails with SIGBUS if the
number of open sockets exceeds 2048.
What was the resolution? The Serviceguard part of the resolution is to
recompile the source with appropriate compiler flags to be able to
support larger number of file descriptors.
