STM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012 release

Known problems and workaround
• Symptom: Reinstallation of OnlineDiag alone causes core-hw events not to be logged into
/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log in SFM mode.
Problem: When OnlineDiag is removed, it will remove the complete monitor directory. This
causes the removal of the reverse wrapper which consumes SFM events and log into EMS
event.log. Hence when you install OnlineDiag again, the reverse wrapper for SFM providers
does not come up. The reverse wrapper is required to log the events from SFM providers to
EMS event.log in SFM mode. But the events are still logged into SFM event.log and in evweb.
Workaround: Replace the reverse wrapper to monitor and dict file to the correct directory
using the following steps:
1. /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/toggle_switch stop
2. cp /var/opt/sfm/data/WbemWrapperMonitor.dict
/etc/opt/resmon/dictionary/
3. cp /var/opt/sfm/data/WbemWrapperMonitor
/usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/tools/monitor/
4. /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/toggle_switch restart
• Symptom: OnlineDiag does not work properly when the length of the system name exceeds
8 characters.
Problem: When the length of the hostname for a system name exceeds 8 characters,
OnlineDiag cannot retrieve the hostname. So, OnlineDiag cannot function as expected.
Workaround: Change the default values of the expanded_node_host_names and
uname_eoverflow kernel parameters by completing the following steps:
1. kctune expanded_node_host_names=1
2. kctune uname_eoverflow=0
