HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

Table A-1 Known Install and Update Problems (continued)
Description/ActionProblem
When updating to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 from HP-UX 11i
v1, 11i v2 or 11i v3, one or both of the following warning messages
may be logged in to the install log file:
"EMS-Core.EMS-WRAPPER-COM". WARNING: [1296]
Encountered a message of unknown priority. - [902]
cron may not be running - call your system
administrator
warning: commands will be executed using
/usr/bin/sh * [367] Running "configure" script for
fileset "EMS-Core.EMS-WRAPPER-COM". succeeded with
1 warning.
The message “cron may not be running” will be logged if the
cron daemon has not been running during the update.
The warning “commands will be executed using
/usr/bin/sh” will occur if the default login shell is defined as
anything other than POSIX shell /usr/bin/sh.
This is simply a warning from cron that the POSIX shell will be
used to execute commands in the crontab file. If the login shell is
set to /usr/bin/sh in the /etc/passwd file, then this error will
not be logged.
What To Do
Both these warning messages can be safely ignored.
Update to HP-UX 11i v3
Generates Harmless Warning
Messages in the Install Log File
The Audit Events tab and Audit System Calls tab in the “Auditing
and Security Attributes Configuration” tool in HP SMH may not
show any Events, if there is a duplicate custom event defined in the
/etc/audit/audit_site.conf file. This issue has been seen
since the tool was first released in September 2007.
What To Do
To confirm if the table in the Events tab does not contain any rows
because of the duplicate entry, execute the command
/usr/sbin/audevent -l on the command prompt. If you see an
error message similar to
Rename event alias 'XXXXXXXX' (line YYY) in
/etc/audit/audit_site.conf; the name has already
been used
manually edit the file to remove the duplicate definition mentioned
on line number YYY.
