HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

Table A-2 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.
Audit Events and Audit
System Calls tabs in
“Auditing and Security
Attributes Configuration”
may not show any events
