Known Problems and Workarounds
The following describes known problems with HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
Version A.02.00 and workarounds for them. However, this is subject to change without notice.
For the most current information contact your HP support representative or the Hewlett-Packard
IT Resource Center for the latest information.
Product Issues and Limitations
The following describes known problems with products included with HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite Version A.02.00 and workarounds for them. This is subject to change without
notice.
Serviceguard Limitations with CFS
The following limitations apply to the HP Serviceguard Product when it is used with Veritas™
CFS.
• Serviceguard supports a maximum of eight nodes for CFS
• Serviceguard does not support CFS nested mounts
The mknod Command Is Not Supported with CFS
You cannot use the mknod command to create devices on a cluster mounted file system - attempts
to use the mknod command will return Invalid argument.
CFS for Oracle Bundles Require Supplemental Software
A Supplemental Media for Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00 delivers
software you need to properly install the following HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
bundles:
• T2776CA: HP Serviceguard Cluster File System for Oracle
• T2777CA: HP Serviceguard Cluster File System for Oracle RAC
• T2796CA: HP Serviceguard Cluster File System for Oracle with Mission Critical Operating
Environment (MCOE)
• T2797CA: HP Serviceguard Cluster File System for Oracle RAC with Mission Critical
Operating Environment (MCOE)
If one of the impacted HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles is installed without
this supplemental software, the following bundle components will fail to install:
• VRTSdbed - special commands available in the /opt/VRTSdbed/bin directory that are provided
to assist with converting an existing database to use Quick I/O.
• ASGV - contains bundle specific control scripts that control installation behavior and update
configuration files delivered by the Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle.
Without the VRTSdbed and ASGV components, the Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) stack cannot
be started and an attempt to start the Cluster File System (CFS) package on all nodes will cause
a panic.
The Supplemental Media for the Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00
includes:
• SGSMSupp - this is a "dummy bundle" tag, it does not get installed
• VRTSdbcom,r=5.0.00.01-GA,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA/PA,v=HP - Veritas Storage Foundation
for DB Common Utilities
• VRTSdbms3,r=3.0.130.0,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA/PA,v=HP - Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle DBMS3
