1.9 Known issues in HP-UX Containers A.03.01.003

This section lists known issues and appropriate workarounds:

 Add custom configuration tab of SRP GUI is not listing the same variables for

system and workload containers. System container is listing fewer variables

than workload.

Workaround:

SRP command line interface needs to be used to “add custom configuration" to system

container instead of SRP GUI interface.

 The srp_su command does not initialize the TZ environment variable correctly

when the ‘-‘ option is omitted. Executing the srp_su(1M) command without the '-'

option does not update the TZ environment variable for the command or session in the

container based on the container /etc/TIMEZONE variable. The command or session uses

the TZ value set in the global view.

Workaround:

Use the '-' option or set the TZ variable manually when the srp_su command is used

without the '-' option.

 The srp command does not support secondary IP address configuration for

the IPFilter and IPSec services. The srp command supports configuration of multiple IP

addresses for a container. However, the IPFilter and IPSec services for the container will be

configured only for primary IP address and not for secondary IP addresses.

Workaround:

1) Add and apply the IPFilter rules for secondary IP address directly to the

/etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf file.
