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

Serviceguard Version A.11.17 Release Notes
Fixed in This Version
Chapter 140
JAGaf46442 (SR8606386288): ServiceGuard allows
remote configuration
What was the problem? Remote cluster configuration through
cmapplyconf reports the following errors:
Begin cluster verification...
Adding node abc to cluster xyz.
Error: Permission denied to abc.
...<repeated 10 times> ...
Unable to verify cluster configuration change
completion, proceeding anyway..
Completed the cluster creation.
Remote cluster configuration is not allowed in 11.16.00, but the way it is
handled with the errors noted above is not user-friendly and does not
make this clear.
What was the resolution? The cmapplyconf command detects remote
configuration attempts and exits out with a user-friendly error message
such as:
cmapplyconf : Command can not be executed remotely.
Addition of node abc to cluster xyz is possible only
when command is issued from a node which
is configured to be a part of the cluster.
Please login to one of the cluster member nodes of
cluster xyz and reissue the command.
JAGaf46380 (SR8606386226): ER requesting
Serviceguard gethostbyaddr to use h_aliases and
h_name
What was the problem? DUPLICATE. See JAGaf56322: Serviceguard
does not provide highest privileges for nodes with aliases.
A defect was introduced which broke the ability for Serviceguard to
handle IP addresses in the cmclnodelist file. This resulted in seeing
"Permission Denied" errors in response to commands.
