HP XC System Software Release Notes for Version 3.0

6.5 Required Task: Remove Nagios Symbolic Links
You must remove old Nagios symbolic links after you run the upgradesys script:
# /bin/rm -f /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S345nagios
# /bin/rm -f /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S345nagios
# /bin/rm -f /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S345nagios
6.6 Required Task: Edit the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog File Before Running
the cluster_config Utility
Before running the cluster_config utility, use the text editor of your choice to edit the
/etc/logrotate/syslog file on the head node, and replace two occurrences of
/var/run/syslog-ng.pid with the following:
/var/run/syslogd.pid
6.7 Required Task: Set External MAC Addresses Before Running the
cluster_config Utility
Perform this task after you have completed upgrade tasks up to including running the
upgradesys command, but just before running the cluster_config utility.
Follow this procedure to populate the external device MAC address field in the database for
client nodes with external connections. These MAC addresses are required by the upgrade process
to ensure that the external device information is populated correctly in the database and that all
external interfaces work properly after the upgrade.
1. Run the following device_config command to set the external device MAC address in
the database for a specific node. Use the MAC addresses you obtained in “Required Task:
Determine MAC Addresses For Client Nodes With External Devices”.
# cd /opt/hptc/config/sbin
# ./device_config --type E MAC_address --host host_name
2. Run a similar device_config command for every node that has an external connection.
3. Verify that the MAC addresses have been populated in the database:
# shownode config | grep -A 3 External:
6.8 Required Task: Remove SystemImager Override Symbolic Links Before
Running the cluster_config Utility
Because the master autoinstallation scripts (named *.master.0) have changed in this release,
you must remove the symbolic links in the /var/lib/systemimager/scripts directory
before running the cluster_config --init | --migrate command. After you do so, the
cluster_config utility automatically creates the correct symbolic links.
If you are using file overrides to the golden image, you must also re-create the *.master.0
override file or files so that the file or files use the new version of the master autoinstallation
script.
Recreate the *.master.0 override files and associated symbolic links after running the
cluster_config utility (but before re-imaging) because the new autoinstallation script is not
created until after cluster_config is run.
6.9 Run the cluster_config Utility From the Console
It is possible for an external Ethernet connection to intermittently fail to come up after running
the cluster_config --init | --migrate command. You may see messages similar to
the following in the /var/log/nconfig.log file:
