HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, June 2003

Known Problems and Troubleshooting
Problems Configuring HP-UX 11i v1
Appendix B180
Once the AutoFS daemon is restarted, the NFS packages can be
restarted or manually moved back to the server node. AutoFS can be
restarted either with the /usr/sbin/automountd command or the
nfs.client script.
Hardware Information Not Captured on Systems With
Floppy Drive
On systems with a floppy-disk drive attached, hardware information will
not be captured in the System Configuration Repository (SCR) under 11i.
After updating a system with a floppy drive from 10.20 to 11i, you will
find a core file in /usr/dmi/bin, and hpuxci (HP-UX DMI Component
Instrumentation) will not be running.
How Do You Know
If This Affects
You?
This problem affects you if there is a floppy drive attached to (or installed
in) your system, and you use the System Configuration Repository (SCR)
to store hardware information. Since the hpuxci is not running,
hardware information will not be captured. The problem occurs if
/dev/floppy exists.
What To Do A fix for the problem will be made available in the earliest follow-up
patch release for 11i. In the meantime, if you depend on the SCR, you
should either not update to 11i, or remove the floppy drive.
NOTE If /dev/floppy exists, hpuxci sets default attributes for the device. The
code that does this does not null-terminate the string passed to atoi()
which results in a segfault (segmentation fault). The fix for this will
terminate the string correctly.
Auto-Port Aggregation Will Not Work on rp7410
Systems
The igelan driver for core rp2710 cards does not support Auto-Port
Aggregation (APA).
What To Do To fix this problem install patch PHNE_25833 (or any patch that
supersedes it).
