HP Integrity Essentials Pack for Linux Software - Manual (Page 57)

C Known Issues
This appendix contains known issues with the HP Insight Foundation Suite for Integrity with
Linux product, which undergoes rigorous testing before each release. From HP test activities to
date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in mind.
Installation of hp-fc-enablement(1.2-4) driver
After installing the hp-fc-enablement(1.2-4) driver, smx recognizes the Emulex fibre channel card
as being doubled.
HP Insight Management WBEM Providers on Pegasus cimserver Supports
Multi-Process Mode Only
HP Insight Management WBEM providers running on Pegasus cimserver (RHEL5, SLES10) only
support running in multi-process mode. HP Insight Management WBEM Providers will not
currently support running in a single process on the Pegasus cimserver.
To ensure your providers are running in a Pegasus multi-process configuration, perform the
following steps as the root user:
1.
Verify that the cimserver is running to retrieve configuration values by entering:
# /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus start
2. Verify that forceProviderProcess is set to true by entering:
# cimconfig -g forceProviderProcesses
This command should return Current value: true.
3. Based on the value returned in Step 2, perform one of the following steps.
•
If the command returns Current value: false, reset the value by entering:
# cimconfig -p -s forceProviderProcesses=true
• If the command returns Current value: true, reset the Pegasus cimserver to allow
the new setting to take affect by entering:
# /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus restart
Unaligned Access Messages
Due to the current alignment boundaries of certain data structures on Integrity servers, customers
may see infrequent messages in the system event log with the format sfcbd unaligned
access
. This should only occur during WBEM Provider initialization and does not represent
any loss of data integrity or functionality.
Superfluous PAM Authentication Message
The release currently shipping for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES11) has a verbose sfcb
default configuration setting for all PAM authenticated actions. This setting results in a superfluous
message of the following form:
pam_succeed_if(sfcb:auth): requirement "user ingroup sfcb" was met by
the root user.
This message appears in /var/log/messages reporting for each successful PAM authentication
during WBEM requests. An enhancement request has been filed with SuSE as well as SFCB
maintainers and will be resolved by the next distribution release.
If the messages become an issue, use the workaround that follows until this is resolved.
The PAM logging setting for sfcb can be changed by using the following steps:
