HP Serviceguard Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009

NOTE: There are files in CM-CORE that are reserved for HP support. Do not change
these files. Do not move, alter, or delete the following:
• /usr/contrib/bin/cmcorefr
• /usr/contrib/bin/cmdumpfr
• /usr/contrib/bin/cmfmtfr
• /usr/contrib/Q4/lib/q4lib/cmfr.pl
• /var/adm/cmcluster/frdump.cmcld.x (where x is a digit)
NOTE: If you did a swremove of an older version of Serviceguard before the
swinstall, a zero-length binary configuration file (/etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig)
may be left on your system. Remove this file before you issue the swinstall command.
If you do not remove the zero-length binary configuration file, the installation will
proceed correctly, but you may see error or warning messages such as:
Bad binary config file directory format.
Could not convert old binary configuration file.
These messages may safely be ignored.
If You Need To Disable identd
CAUTION: HP does not recommend disabling this security feature, as it maintains
the integrity and high availability of your data.
If you must disable identd, do it after installing Serviceguard but before each node
rejoins the cluster (for example, just before issuing the cmrunnode or cmruncl
command).
Instructions are in Chapter 5 of the Managing Serviceguard manual, under the heading
“Disabling identd” in the section “Managing the Running Cluster”.
