Installation
Description
GUI does not work with default RHEL6 64-bit
There is a compatibility issue against Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 64-bit
Solution: Install the following packages, which are contained in the installation media of the OS,
prior to installing LifeKeeper. If these are not installedpriorto installing LifeKeeper, the install will
not finish correctly.
libXau-1.0.5-1.el6.i686.rpm
libxcb-1.5-1.el6.i686.rpm
libX11-1.3-2.el6.i686.rpm
libXext-1.1-3.el6.i686.rpm
libXi-1.3-3.el6.i686.rpm
libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm
The multipathd daemon will log errors in the error log when the nbd driver is loaded as it
tries to scan the new devices
Solution: To avoid these errors in the log, adddevnode "^nbd"to the blacklist in
/etc/multipath.conf.
Incomplete NFS Setup Logging
When running the Installation setup script from the ISO image (sps.img), the output from the script
patching process for NFS is not captured in the LifeKeeper install log (/var/log/LK_install.log). No
workaround is available.
Core package upgrade from 7.x fails with conflict on Html.pm package
Upgrading the LifeKeeper Core package (steeleye-lk) from a release prior to 7.4.0 to release 7.5.0
or later will result in a conflicts error on the file /opt/LifeKeeper/lib/perl/Html.pm. Resolving this
error and successfully installing the Core package will require the use of the --force option to
rpm.
When using the loopback interface in the INTERFACELIST tunable, licensing will not
function properly.
The loopback (lo) interface cannot be used in the INTERFACELIST tunable.
lklicmgr tool incorrectly displays a "HOSTID mismatch" when a license file based on an
IP Address is used.
If a license file based on an IP Address is used, lklicmgr incorrectly displays a HOSTID mismatch
error.This is only a display issue with lklicmgr.The license will function as expected.
Configuration of NFS for High Availability operation fails when attempting to patch the
nfslock init script.
The nfs-utils package is required for high availability operations with NFS. If not installed on
the system, the patch process to enable the HA features in the nfslock init script will fail.
Solution: Install the nfs-utils package, then rerun the SPS Installation setup script.
