HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01.004 Release Notes (5992-5696, September 2012)

12
addresses for a container. However, the IPFilter and IPSec services for the container will be
configured only for primary IP address and not for secondary IP addresses.
Workaround:
1) Add and apply the IPFilter rules for secondary IP address directly to the
/etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf file.
2) Use the ipsec_config command to configure HP-UX IPSec to encrypt and
authenticate IP packets between the secondary IP addresses and a remote IP address.
• The srp –import command may reassign file ownership on file restoration
when there are collisions with user or group names in the global view.
When the global view has a user name or group name that matches the ownership of an
import file, the uid and gid assigned to the imported file will be that of the global view
credentials instead of the original uid/gid of the exchange file. This is an underlying
feature of the tar command, which is the tool used for the –export option to create an
exchange file.
Workaround:
Use a common user database, such as LDAP or NIS, for the global view and the containers of
each system where containers will be imported.
• The srp or srp_sys command may fail and print the error message, ‘“:POSIX”
is not exported by the Errno module’, followed by a series of perl
diagnostics. If the PERL5LIB environment variable is set to an alternate path, the
referenced perl version may be incompatible with the HP-UX Containers product. The HP-UX
Containers product has been validated with the Perl version E.5.8.8.F, shipped with the
HP-UX 11i OE.
Workaround:
Unset the PERL5LIB environment variable before running the srp or srp_sys commands.
Alternately, set the PERL5LIB environment variable to /opt/perl/lib/5.8.8.
