What to do
See the Customer Resolution Notes in QXCR1001260030 at the HP Support Center
(http://hp.com/go/hpsc). Click Search HP Support Center, then select Search by
document ID for your search mode. Enter "ttr_na-SSB_1001260030” in the box.
When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh and group hpsmh are automatically
added to the /etc/passwd file. If you are using LDAP or any other network service
User and group IDs of HP SMH
conflicts with user and group IDs
of LDAP and other network
services
for managing user and group accounts, there is a possibility that the user ID (UID)
and the group ID (GID) of hpsmh are already in use by LDAP-users. The duplication
of user and group IDs results in changes in file ownership. This problem occurs in
HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity systems.
What to do
As a workaround, before installing HP SMH, you must manually add a local hpsmh
user and group using unique UID and GID. First, determine the available reserved
IDs for the group (say, 130) and the user (say, 125). Ensure these IDs are not in
use by LDAP or other network services. Then add the group using the following
command:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 hpsmh
After adding the group, add the user using the following command:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g hpsmh -d \
/var/opt/hpsmh -c "System Management Homepage" hpsmh
Note: If you do not manually add the group and user before installing HP SMH,
during installation HP SMH creates the group and user using locally available IDs,
which may already be in use on the network.
During installation, HP WBEM Services creates a user cimsrvr and a group
cimsrvr. If you are using Network Information Services (NIS), Lightweight Directory
User and group IDs of HP WBEM
Services conflict with user and
group IDs of NIS, LDAP, and other
network services
Access Protocol (LDAP), or any other network service for managing user and group
accounts, there is a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) created
for HP WBEM Services are already in use by other users. The duplication of user
and group IDs results in a change in file ownership and can stop applications
working correctly.
This issue is only applicable for HP WBEM Services A.02.07 and later versions.
What to do
For systems using LDAP or other network services, before installing HP WBEM
Services, you must manually add a local cimsrvr user and group using a unique
UID and GID. You must first determine the available reserved IDs for the group (for
example, 130) and for the user (for example, 125) ensuring that these IDs are not
in use by LDAP or other network services. Run the following command to add the
group:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 cimsrvr
