HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)

• Does not support multiple HP 9000 containers on the same host.
• Does not support coexistence with native containers.
• Some server applications, which register RPC services might need a virtual hostname
configuration (that matches the global host name) to work. For more information, see
Section 12.6 (page 80).
11.3 Access limitations
Limitations specific to HP 9000 classic containers
Using the telnet command to log in to an HP 9000 classic container is not supported. Instead,
you can use ssh. If telnet is used, the user login occurs in the global container and therefore,
applications cannot be run. But, using telnet from an HP 9000 container to other servers is
supported.
Using commands such as remsh, rlogin, rcp, and rexec to access the HP 9000 classic
container are not supported. To achieve similar functionality, use SSH based protocols (ssh,
slogin, scp) along with authorization keys.
11.4 Patching limitations
SD patching is not supported inside an HP 9000 classic container.
SD patching inside an HP 9000 system container has the following limitations:
• If compartment rules are used to restrict unsupported commands, patching of products that
include the disallowed commands fails.
• The swverify and check_patches commands might report errors.
• Patching is not supported for libraries and commands that are switched using the libv3 and
cmdv3 templates.
11.5 User management limitations
HP 9000 system container
• Does not support user quota.
• Does not support the configuration of users, apart from those related to system administration
or system management-related applications, in the global container.
HP 9000 classic container
• The users must be configured on the host. Access to the container is managed via RBAC.
• For storing SSH authorization keys, separate home directories must be created in the global
file system.
11.6 Commands limitations
The $ df –k command fails inside both HP 9000 system and HP 9000 classic containers.
Due to the shared file system, the following commands provide global information (not
container-specific data) inside an HP 9000 classic container:
bdf, df, last, lastb, mount, who, and finger
In an HP 9000 classic container, the bdf command also reports errors for loopback mounts.
For more information about HP 9000 classic container file system, see Section 7.2 (page 46).
