Serviceguard Manager Version A.04.00 Release Notes
Patches and Fixes in this Version
Chapter 150
JAGaf12970 Service commands that contain quotes are not
passed to control script.
• What is the problem? This happens when you are using Guided Mode
and letting Serviceguard Manager create your control script
automatically. If you enter a service command with quotes in it, such
as /usr/bin/X11/xclock -title "My Xclock", your quotes will be
ignored when they are transferred.
After the script is Applied, the target control script in
/etc/cmcluster/<pkgName>/<pkgName>.sdf.sh contains
something like this: SERVICE_CMD[0]="/usr/bin/X11/xclock -title
My Xclock"
• What is the workaround? Do not use quotes in service commands if
you are creating the control script through Guided Mode.
JAGef13948 Property sheets appear to hang when storage is bad.
• What is the problem? The timeout for checking storage status may
not work. When you open Properties, Serviceguard issues an ioscan
to find status of the disks. If you have a bad disk in your cluster, you
may see “Please wait” on the network tab for a very long time,
perhaps more than an hour. It appears that Serviceguard Manager
has hung; actually, it is not timing out when the status request is not
returned. This can also happen when you do a Save As command.
• What is the workaround? If you wait a long time after a Save As or
on the Network Tab of properties, check the disks from the command
line, using ioscan or through SAM. If they have zero length, your
disk is bad.
JAGaf13925 SGMgr allows conflicting roles for clusters and
packages (API JAGaf08686).
• What is the problem? Serviceguard Manager will allow you to
configure conflicting or redundant roles. This is especially likely
when using wild-cards. For example, you may be able to configure an
Admin role for ANY_USER from node1 and then a Monitor role for
user1 from node1. Since user1 is included in ANY_USER, this should
not be allowed.
• What is the workaround? Check your roles to be sure none are
redundant or conflicting.
