HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1.B-4 Patch Summary and Release Notes (13156)

The system is not configured properly for cluster creation.

Please fix the previously reported problems, and then rerun the

'clu_create' command.

If you see these messages, enter the following command:

# ls -tlr /usr/.smdb./*PAT*.sts

If this command returns a file with 000000 in its name, you will have to run the clu_create

command with the -f option to force the creation of your cluster. The problem is caused by the

cluster software misinterpreting the existence of some patches and will be corrected in a future

patch kit.

If the command does not return a file with 000000 in its name, you will need to contact HP

support to determine the cause of the problem.

4.1.12 When Taking a Cluster Member to Single-User Mode, First Halt the Member

To take a cluster member from multiuser mode to single-user mode, first halt the member and

then boot it to single-user mode. For example:

# shutdown -h now

>>> boot -fl s

Halting and booting the system ensures that it provides the minimal set of services to the cluster

and that the running cluster has a minimal reliance on the member running in single-user mode.

When the system reaches single-user mode, enter the following commands:

# /sbin/init s

# /sbin/bcheckrc

# /usr/sbin/lmf reset

upgrade is completed and the clu_upgrade switch procedure has been run. The following

sections describe the steps you can take to prevent the problem or correct it after it occurs.
