Issues related to installation
This section describes the known issues during installation and upgrade.
Installer assigns duplicate node ID during -addnode procedure
While performing an -addnode using a CPI installer to a cluster where a node has
failed, VCS appends the new node with a duplicate node ID of its last node. This
happens only to the cluster in which any but the last node has failed. In this case,
/etc/llthost displays two nodes with same node IDs. This is because VCS assigns
the node ID by simply counting the number of node entries without checking the
assigned node IDs.
Workaround: Instead of running the CPI command, add the new node manually
as described in the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide.
While configuring authentication passwords through the
Veritas product installer, the double quote character is not
accepted (1245237)
The Veritas product installer prompts you to configure authentication passwords
when you configure Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) as a secure cluster, or when you
configure Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT) in authentication broker
(AB) mode. If you use the Veritas product installer to configure authentication
passwords, the double quote character (\") is not accepted. Even though this special
character is accepted by authentication, the installer does not correctly pass the
characters through to the nodes.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue. When entering authentication
passwords, do not use the double quote character (\").
Incorrect version listed after upgrading (2121881)
When you upgrade from SFCFS 5.1 RP2 to SFCFS 5.1 SP1, the previous version is
incorrectly listed as 5.1.001.000
