HP-UX WBEM LAN Provider Release Notes (5900-1467, March 2011)

Table 5 Defects Fixed in the HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems. (continued)

DescriptionDefect ID

In the previous release, events are not generated on the primary LAN interface by the

HPUXEthernetIndicationProvider module when APA is configured on HP-UX system.

In the current release, this defect is fixed. Events are generated on APA ports.

QXCR1001054625

In the previous release, several property data types of the LAN Provider module are different

from the data types documented in the provider datasheet available at/opt/lanprovider/

doc/HPUX_LANProvider.pdf. Property data types used in the LAN provider module must

be reset in accordance to the property data types set in the datasheet. Users developing

WBEM client applications must be aware of the mismatch of property data types that exist

between the provider module and the provider datasheeet. Following properties are to be

reset in the LAN provider module HPUX_EthernetPort class:

Known Problems, Workarounds, Limitations

The following known problem is for the current release:

When a new APA interface is created after starting HPUXEthernetIndicationProvider

module, indication is not generated for the event. Indications are generated during subsequent

additions and deletions of the newly created APA.

Following is the limitation of the LAN provider:

• LAN is a read-only provider and hence does not allow users to modify, create, or delete

instances.
