Distributed Systems Administration Utilities V1.7 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v2 December 2007

and Serviceguard will inadvertently kill the wizard process since it is preventing the
filesystem from being dismounted.
• During each use, the Configuration Synchronization Wizard creates backups of the current
cfengine configuration in the directory /var/opt/dsau/cfengine/backups. The top
level files in this directory are the most recent backups. Any previous configurations are
saved time-stamped subdirectories named "v_timestamp". These backup directories are never
deleted and can accumulate if the wizard is used many times. HP recommends that you
delete these backup directories periodically.

Known Problems and Workarounds
Parallel Distributed Shell (pdsh), Parallel Distributed Copy (pdcp) and the commands based on
these utilities (cexec, ccp, ckill, cuptime, cps) display misleading error messages when the
security environment is not properly configured. For example, if non-interactive ssh is not
properly configured, pdsh and pdcp display error messages such as the following:
pdsh@source_node:target_node:Failed to initiate RCP protocol
pdsh@source_node:target_node:ssh exited with exit code 255
This indicates that pdsh was unable to establish an ssh connection with the remote node. For
additional troubleshooting information, refer to Distributed Systems Administration Utilities User's
Guide, Chapter 4, Command Fanout.
