Description/actionProblem
If you update to Serviceguard A.11.20, Target Port Cluster congestion control
will be disabled due to a problem found with ESCSI ioctl. Target Port Cluster
congestion control was previously available through a patch, PHSS_39614, that
was available for Serviceguard A.11.19.
What to do

When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh and group hpsmh are automatically
added to the /etc/passwd file. If you are using LDAP or any other network
service for managing user and group accounts, there is a possibility that the user
ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) of hpsmh are already in use by LDAP-users.
The duplication of user and group IDs results in changes in file ownership. This
problem occurs in HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity systems.
What to do
As workaround, before installing HP SMH, you must manually add a local hpsmh
user and group using unique UID and GID. First, determine the available reserved
IDs for the group (say, 130) and the user (say, 125). Ensure that these IDs are not
in use by LDAP or other network services. Then, add the group using the
following command:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 hpsmh
After adding the group, add the user using the following command:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g hpsmh -d \
/var/opt/hpsmh -c "System Management Homepage" hpsmh
Note: If you do not manually add the group and user before installing HP SMH,
during installation HP SMH creates the group and user using locally available
IDs, which may already be in use on the network.
