Compatibility
The following are known compatibility issues when using the Distributed Systems
Administration Utilities for the December 2005 release:
• Consolidated logging:
When using consolidated logging, patch PHCO_32985 should be applied. This is a
cumulative patch for syslogd (1M) and it addresses critical log forwarding issues.
This patch is available from the HP IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com)
patch database.
When consolidating package log files in a Serviceguard cluster, it's possible for the
first message written to a new package log file to not get forwarded to the
consolidated package log.
The first message written is typically the standard package start line:
########### Node "<name>": Starting package at <date> ###########
Subsequent lines will be consolidated and cause the consolidated log to be created if
it doesn't already exist.
• Configuration Synchronization:
When using the csync_wizard (1M) to redistribute security keys to all the managed
clients, cfservd is not restarted properly on the remote clients and is still using the
previous security keys. This causes cfrun operations from the master server to fail.
cfagent on the managed client will work properly and if cfagent is being invoked
from cron, cfservd will be restarted during the next scheduled synchronization run.
Otherwise, one workaround would be to use “cexec -n <managed clients>
/sbin/init.d/cfservd restart” to restart the client cfservd daemons.
The csync_wizard (1M) saves the user's responses to each question in an answer file
that can be used when rerunning the wizard. In a Serviceguard environment, when
setting cfegine as a highly available service, an incorrect value is written to the
answer file. Change the “master: ” line in the
/var/opt/dsau/cfengine/tmpdir/csync_wizard_input.txt to read “master:
csync” .
Performance
There are no known performance issues.
