• E.5.8.8.C included in the March 2009 release of HP-UX 11i v3

If you have one of the above versions of Perl either download and install version E.5.8.8.F or greater of Perl

from

http://www.software.hp.com, or install the following patches:

• The 32-bit Perl patch: PHSS_39653

E.5.8.8.F perl Programming Language

WARNING: HP 9000 Containers version A.01.x requires HP-UX SRP version

A.02.02. The update-ux command will by default update the HP-UX SRP product to a later

version. If an HP-UX 11i v3 update is required, use the following syntax to preserve the HP-UX SRP

A.02.02 version:

# update-ux -s server:/path/depot [other options] !HP-UX-SRP

The update will produce a warning message when preserving the version of HP-UX SRP. You can

safely ignore that warning.

1.5 Limitations for HP-UX SRP A.02.02

Enabling SRP on a system where the Trusted Systems security product is also enabled is a feature that

is deprecated with HP-UX SRP A.02.02.

1.6 Known Issues Fixed in HP-UX SRP A.02.02

This release provides the following fixes:

• The getcwd function works correctly in an SRP.

The getcwd function returns the pathname of the current working directory. In SRP A.02.01 or

earlier, the getcwd function was unable to determine the pathname if the current working

directory path was under /var/hpsrp.

Defect number: QXCR1001063679

• SRP now allows the user to specify a gateway IP-Address when creating an

SRP.

In prior releases, the gateway IP address was automatically set to a default value.
