Known Problems and Workarounds

1. When MC/Service Guard initiates a local LAN switchover for HP OTS/9000

from one LAN card to another and then switches back to the first LAN

card within 120 seconds, some operations to the first LAN card may

fail. This is because previous LAN card information is still in the

ESH table.

Workaround:

first switchover and try the switchover again.

2. In C.13.00 version of OTS, if a local LAN switchover occurs when OTS

is running and OTS is then stopped, OTS configuration files would

still contain a reference to the primary LAN interface. So a restart

would cause OTS to come up with the primary LAN interface instead of

the switched/secondary LAN interface.

The above problem may also happen if OTS is started subsequent to a
