HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01.003 Release Notes (5900-2312, May 2012)

2) Use the ipsec_config command to configure HP-UX IPSec to encrypt and

authenticate IP packets between the secondary IP addresses and a remote IP address.

 The srp –import command may reassign file ownership on file restoration

when there are collisions with user or group names in the global view.

When the global view has a user name or group name that matches the ownership of an

import file, the uid and gid assigned to the imported file will be that of the global view

credentials instead of the original uid/gid of the exchange file. This is an underlying

feature of the tar command, which is the tool used for the –export option to create an

exchange file.

Workaround:

Use a common user database, such as LDAP or NIS, for the global view and the containers of

each system where containers will be imported.

 The srp or srp_sys command may fail and print the error message, ‘“:POSIX”

is not exported by the Errno module’, followed by a series of perl

diagnostics. If the PERL5LIB environment variable is set to an alternate path, the

referenced perl version may be incompatible with the HP-UX Containers product. The HP-UX

Containers product has been validated with the Perl version E.5.8.8.F, shipped with the

HP-UX 11i OE.

Workaround:

Unset the PERL5LIB environment variable before running the srp or srp_sys commands.

Alternately, set the PERL5LIB environment variable to /opt/perl/lib/5.8.8.

 The srp command does not delete a default route from the system routing

tables when a default route for a started container is changed. The srp

command supports changing a default route for a started container. However, the previous

configuration for the default route is not deleted from the system routing tables.

Workaround:

Delete the default route associated with the old gateway IP address. For example:

# route delete default 192.168.1.1
