Known problems and workarounds

Spaces when using the SMH interface
Issue
When using PRM’s interface in SMH, spaces may be collapsed to a single
space or removed. For example, consecutive spaces in alternate names that
use extended regular expressions are reduced to single spaces. Spaces at the
ends of configuration file names are removed, preventing the files from
appearing in the SMH listing of files. Spaces used in names of users or
volume groups may also be affected.
Workaround
On HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) and HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31), be sure to use
WBEM Services A.02.05 or later.
For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), WBEM Services A.02.05 is scheduled for a June
2007 release. Until then, remove trailing spaces in filenames for
configuration files you want to use in SMH. For alternate names, use “[ ]*”
to handle zero or more spaces; use “[ ]+” to handle one or more spaces. Be
careful of spaces used elsewhere.
Alternate names have limit on length
Issue
Due to a kernel limitation:
• On HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), the PRM application manager cannot
identify alternate names that are greater than 64 characters in length,
or scripts where the combination of the alternate name and command
name is greater than 64 characters.
• On HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), the PRM application manager cannot
identify alternate names that are greater than 128 characters in length,
or scripts where the combination of the alternate name and command
name is greater than 128 characters.
Workaround
Be sure these names do not exceed 64 characters on HP-UX 11i v1 or
128 characters on HP-UX 11i v2.
