SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v2 March 2013

Known Problems and Workarounds

Description: This problem is seen when OnlineDiag product is upgraded from any version
prior to B.11.23.13.02 to B.11.23.13.02 or later version. Creation of duplicate OSEL files
causes this issue wherein few events could get missed.

version, perform the following the steps:
◦ # cp /opt/sfm/conf/fm_diaglogd_cfg.bin /var/opt/sfm/conf/
◦ # ls –l /var/opt/sfm/conf/fm_diaglogd_cfg.bin
Workaround: If the steps mentioned in Caution were not followed prior to upgrade of
OnlineDiag product from any version to B.11.23.13.02 or later version, then perform the
following steps:
◦ # cimprovider –dm SFMProviderModule
◦ # strings /var/opt/sfm/data/last_read_state.sav
Output: This will give the name of the OSEL file to be deleted.
◦ # rm <give the name of the osel file got from the above output>
