HP Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 Release Notes

There is no workaround for this issue. While entering authentication passwords, do not use
any of the special characters listed previously.
• Problem
Uninstallling the VRTSmapro (mapping provider) package does not remove the
corresponding entry from the VEA registry.
Workaround
Run the following command before uninstalling the VRTSmapro package:
# /opt/VRTSmapro/bin/vxmapping_prov.config -r
This command removes the VEA registry entry.
• Problem
The Shared DBMS feature creates the following configuration files:
— /etc/vxdbms/VERITAS_DBMS3_hostname/conf/databases.conf
— /etc/vxdbms/VERITAS_DBMS3_hostname/conf/databases1.conf
— /etc/vxdbms/VERITAS_DBMS3_hostname/conf/registration.dat
These configuration files are created or modified by the vxdbms_start_db.pl,
vxdbms_start-server.pl, and vxdbms_register.pl scripts, respectively. The files
are writable by all if the file mode creation mask is insufficiently restrictive.
Workaround
HP recommends that you restrict the default file mode creation permissions (using the
umask command) for root and administrator accounts to avoid a potential security
issue. Specifically, change the group|world write and execute permissions for the default
umask settings. When security is set at least restrictive, the default umask for root must
be 022. HP recommends that you set default umask to 077.
• Problem
Host name may need to be entered manually on a clustered host
Workaround
When installing Storage Foundation Management Server on a clustered host on which the
Domain Name Service (DNS) is not configured, you will be prompted to enter the
fully-qualified host name manually to proceed with the installation. When installing on a
clustered host on which the DNS is running slowly, you may occasionally be prompted to
enter the fully-qualified host name manually to proceed with the installation.
• Problem
Unconfigure VEA Action Agent after a MANAGED host installation
Workaround
When installing in a MANAGED mode, execute the following script at any time after the Veritas
packages are installed:
/opt/VRTSaa/config/remove_vxaa.sh
This script unconfigures the VEA Action Agent and prevents it from starting on a MANAGED
host installation.
• Problem
If an Oracle database is created with Oracle Managed Files (OMF), reverse_resync
operations fail.
The following errors are displayed:
