6 Prerequisites Following are the prerequisites for installing the March 2014 version of SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM) software: • HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release or later • EMS-Core A.04.00.01 or later (A.04.20.31.08 March 2012 release is the latest version) • OpenSSL version A.00.09.08g.001 or later (A.00.09.08y.003, March 2014 release is the latest version) • EVM-EventMgr B.11.31 September 2007 or later • SysMgmtBase version B.00.02.03 (Interface) or later (B.00.02.04.
NOTE: • The prerequisites have changed for the following three product versions, since the release of March 2014 version of SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM): ◦ aC++ Runtime patch ◦ ProviderSvcsBase (PSB) ◦ SysMgmtPlus • The listed versions of the software are the minimum supported requirements. Subsequent versions are compatible with this version of SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM) unless otherwise noted.
7 Known problems, workaround, and limitations Following are the compilation of various issues from multiple releases. • Problem: Upgrade of SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM) and ProviderSvcsBase (PSB) products, from prior to September 2012 release to September 2012 web release and to later release, may fail due to disk full issues, caused by Postgres data backup file.
CAUTION: Follow this workaround and proceed with the above mentioned steps, only if the customers do not want old event data. When you upgrade, diagnostic database is moved and cannot be viewed using diagnostic utilities (such as Evweb). It cannot be added back into the original database, due to incompatibility of older PostgreSQL version with the new version.
This problem has the following two solutions: • ◦ Use the Onboard Administrator to determine the total number of blades on the system. ◦ Disable SFMProviderModule using the cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule command. Run mv /var/opt/sfm/data/sdrcache /tmp/sdrcache command to move the sdrcache file and enable SFMProviderModule cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule Problem: CIM_AlertIndication.NetworkAddresses does not contain all assigned IP addresses.
cron may not be running - call your system administrator warning: commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh The message cron may not be running is logged if the cron daemon does not run during the install. The warning commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh occurs if the default login shell is not defined POSIX shell /usr/bin/sh. This is a warning from cron that the POSIX shell is used to execute commands in the crontab file.
2. • Also, the user has to recreate the user defined subscriptions (created using Evweb) at the end of the installation. To have a seamless migration of the data from postgres 7.4.2 version. In this case, the user is required to perform the manual steps listed in the Installation scenarios of Postgres 8.4.8 guide at www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-sfm-docs. Problem: The slview does not provide details of IPMI events on Itanium 9500 based servers.
