12.8 Troubleshooting HP-UX Containers
For information about troubleshooting HP-UX Containers, see HP-UX Containers A.03.01

12.9 Reconfiguring HP 9000 containers
This section discusses the reconfiguration of container parameters and file systems.
12.9.1 Reconfiguring HP 9000 container
If there are suspected issues with the HP 9000 container parameters or file systems, log in to the
global container and run following commands:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
$ srp –replace <srp_name>
$ srp -start <srp_name>
12.9.2 Switching to newer HP 9000 libraries
By default, applications inside the HP 9000 container use system libraries included in the HP 9000
file system image. An HP 9000 container can be configured to use PA-RISC libraries shipped with
Integrity HP-UX 11i v3 instead. This enables a newer set of libraries to be used in the HP 9000
container with potentially more defect fixes.
You must stop HP 9000 container before switching the libraries. Log in to the global container as
root and run the following commands:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
$ srp –add <srp_name> -t libv3 -b
The process might take about 10 minutes because the PA-RISC HP-UX 11i v3 libraries are copied
into the HP 9000 container and any application libraries are merged in.
NOTE: Patching the libraries that are switched is not supported inside the container. If the files
are overwritten as a result of patching, recover them manually. Also, there is no automatic copying
into the container when these libraries are patched on the host. You can run the replace operation
to copy all the latest libraries again, but it requires a container downtime.
To recopy the set of libraries from the host system, run the following commands:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
$ srp –replace <srp_name> -t libv3
To switch to the original libraries, run the following commands:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
$ srp –delete <srp_name> -t libv3
12.9.3 Restoring restricted HP 9000 commands
HP 9000 Containers provides the following options to restrict commands inside the container:
• Replace unsupported commands with a dummy command that exits with an error message.
In this case, the original HP 9000 commands are backed up under /sbin-hp9000 (for
