HP Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 Release Notes

— DBDST class names limited to 29 characters
The dbdst_admin -o rmclass command fails when attempting to remove a class
name of 30 characters or more. The maximum class name length is 29 characters.
— Selected utilities require setuid
Certain HP Storage Management for Oracle programs are setuid binaries because they
are meant to be run as a database administrator and the APIs used are root access-only
internal APIs. The affected binaries are used mainly for information query purposes.
Therefore, the following programs are setuid-enabled:
◦ /opt/VRTSdbed/.dba/dbed_analyzer
◦ /opt/VRTSdbed/.dba/vxckptplan
◦ /opt/VRTSdbcom/bin/vxstorage_stats
◦ /opt/VRTSdbcom/.dba/vxdbd_start
◦ /opt/VRTSdbcom/.dba/vxckpt_ismounted
• No support for multiple archive log locations in Real Application Cluster (RAC)
configurations.
• Repository hostnames are not case sensitive
Because DNS host name lookup queries are by definition not case sensitive, ensure that the
Spam Filter Distributed Database (SFDB) repository is running on a host with a name that
is truly unique (regardless of case) within the local subnet. Errors may occur if the repository
host name differs from another host name only by case.
• One time scheduled tasks need specific date
When scheduling a one time task from the VEA GUI, the task may not be executed if a
specific date (include date) is not set.
