HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01.004 Release Notes (5900-2558, March 2013)

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.

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.
