HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2013

Table 16 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
After creating the group, run the following command to add the user:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g cimsrvr -d \
/var/opt/wbem -c "WBEMServices" cimsrvr
Note: If you do not manually add the group and the user before installing HP
WBEM Services, the installation scripts add a group and user using locally available
IDs, returned by useradd(1M) and groupadd(1M), which may already be in use
on the network.
For systems using NIS, the problem is encountered when HP WBEM Services is
installed as part of a custom bundle that requires a system reboot or if NIS is
stopped for any other reason while the HP WBEM Services installation is performed.
In the former case, this is because the HP WBEM Services configure phase (when
the user and group are created) is run before NIS is up and running after a system
reboot. To avoid this problem on systems that have NIS configured, install the HP
WBEM Services upgrade on its own or as part of a custom bundle that does not
contain updates that require a system reboot.
This problem does not affect new installations where the cimsrvr user and group
are present before NIS, LDAP, or other network services are configured; or minor
upgrades of HP WBEM Services where the cimsrvr user and group are present
from an installation of HP WBEM versions earlier than version A.02.07.
If you have installed HP-UX Security Containment Extensions (ContainmentExt
bundle) version B.11.31.01 (which includes the CompartmentLogin and
HP-UX Security Containment
Extensions version B.11.31.01
might produce unexpected
behaviors and swverify errors
ContainmentWiz products) from the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September
2009, or March 2010 OE media, you might experience unexpected behaviors
while using HP-UX Compartment Login and HP-UX Containment Wizard.
In addition, when you update the OE with ContainmentExt B.11.31.01 to a
newer OE version, you might find swverify errors that indicate
ContainmentExt, CompartmentLogin, and/or ContainmentWiz are not
found on the system.
What to do
Update the product bundle to version B.11.31.01.01 or later, which can be
obtained from http://software.hp.com, or from the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2010
OE media. Then you can install or update to your target HP-UX 11i v3 OE media.
New installation of a P700m controller is not recommended on HP-UX 11i v3
releases prior to March 2010. HP-UX 11i v3 Releases prior to March 2010 might
Issues with HP Smart Array P700m
RAID controllers
not guarantee that P700m Device Special Files (DSFs) are persistent between
releases. This can cause data on arrays to become unavailable after you upgrade
to the March 2010 (or later) release of HP-UX 11i v3.
What to do
If you have an HP Smart Array P700m already configured on any of the following
releases, you must contact HP Support before you upgrade to the March 2010
release:
• HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 June 2009 WEB release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 WEB Release
If you are considering a new installation of an HP Smart Array P700m Controller,
HP recommends that you configure it on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or
later. If you have a Smart Array P700m controller configured on any HP-UX 11i
v3 release prior to March 2010, you must contact HP Support before upgrading
to a newer release. For further information on contacting HP support, see Chapter 9:
“Support and other resources” (page 68).
