Known Problems This section contains critical, late-breaking information that was not included in the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide. Before cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure you read this entire section and “Appendix A, Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” in the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide. For information and patches for other known problems, go to the HP IT Resource Center website: http://itrc.hp.
After Update from HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008, Multiple Listings of the Optional Product Libc-enh May Be Seen On PA-RISC Systems If you have installed the Libc-enh product from the LibcEnhancement bundle released in the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 OEUR and are updating to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008, then after performing the update you may see multiple listings of this product in the swlist(1M) output with one of them in an unbundled state. What To Do Reinstall the Libc-enh product.
What To Do These operations can be performed using the Web GUI (HP SMH → Tools → Peripheral Devices) or the Command Line Interface using the /usr/bin/olrad and /usr/sbin/insf commands. If you do not use the sam/smh/pdweb TUI, no action is required. If you want to use the TUI, download the latest PeriphDevWeb product (version B.11.31.05 or greater) from http://software.hp.com. This product contains the fix for the problem and the same will be included in the next OEUR release for HP-UX 11i v3.
tracked by QXCR1000834043. VxVM will be supported on systems that have USB devices once the fix for QXCR1000834043 is available. Clicking Veritas Enterprise Administrator Link on the System Management Homepage May Result in VEA Abort and Core Dump After installing the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 OEUR, clicking the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) link on the System Management Homepage may result in VEA aborting and dumping core. This happens due to lower version of JRE available on the system.
Warning: Cannot find the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for this system, SSL certificates for WBEM Services are created with the short hostname. Correct this either by editing the /etc/hosts file or by making the appropriate DNS registration. If not corrected, the created certificates may not be acceptable to the WBEMService clients that expect a FQDN in the common name field of the SSL certificate.
What To Do This is a harmless message. Installation is not affected. Veritas Authentication Service (VRTSat) will start without any problem once the update is complete. Update from Previous OEUR to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 May Log Harmless Message on Console Regarding VRTSob While updating from a previous OEUR to the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 OEUR, the following messages may be logged onto the console: * [902] Running "preinstall" script for fileset "VRTSob.VEAS-FILESET".
