SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 November 2011

• Problem: SFM fails in heavy load condition.
Description: In extreme stressed system, in virtual partition (vPar 6.0), SFM crashes at startup
due to initialization failure.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this problem.
• Problem: After OE install, SFM generates harmless warning messages in the install log file
Description: The following messages are generated:
PGS04838: Warning: Class HP_CommonRecordLog already exists in the repository
PGS04838: Warning: Class HP_CommonLogRecord already exists in the repository
This message is written to the log when a module is registered to the class ahead of SFM. This
is a warning message that the class is already registered.
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 has not been
running during the install. The warning commands will be executed using
/usr/bin/sh will occur if the default login shell is defined as anything other than POSIX
shell /usr/bin/sh. This is a warning from cron that the POSIX shell is used to execute
commands in the crontab file. If the login shell is set to /usr/bin/sh in the /etc/
passwd file, then this error is not logged.
Workaround: Both these warning messages can be safely ignored.
