Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Release Notes

110About Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability SolutionsKnown issuesHostname and username are case sensitive in CP server (2846392)The hostname and username on the CP server are case sensitive. The hostnameand username used by fencing to communicate with CP server must be in samecase as present in CP server database, else fencing fails to start.Workaround: Make sure that the same case is used in the hostname and usernameon the CP server.Cannot run the vxfentsthdw utility directly from the install media ifVRTSvxfen package is not installed on the system (2858190)If VRTSvxfen package is not installed on the system, then certain script files thatare needed for the vxfentsthdw utility to function are not available. So, withoutthe VRTSvxfen package installed on the system you cannot run the utility fromthe install media.Workaround: Install VRTSvxfen package, then run the utility from either theinstall media or from the /opt/VRTSvcs/vxfen/bin/ location.Common product installer cannot setup trust between a client system onrelease version 5.1SP1 and a server on release version 6.0 or later (2824472)The issue exists because the 5.1SP1 release version does not support separatedirectories for truststores. But, release version 6.0 and later support separatedirectories for truststores. So, because of this mismatch in support for truststores,you cannot set up trust between client systems and servers.Workaround: Set up trust manually between the coordination point server andclient systems using the cpsat or vcsat command. Now, the servers and clientsystems can communicate in secure mode.Server-based fencing may fail to start after reinstalling the stack (2802682)Server-based fencing may fail to start if you use the existing configuration filesafter reinstalling the stack.Workaround:After reinstalling the stack, add the client cluster information on the coordinationpoint server because the client cluster information is removed when the stack isuninstalled. For more details, see the Setting up server-based I/O Fencing manuallysection in the Veritas Storage Foundation Installation Guide. Alternatively, youcan manually modify the /etc/vxfenmode file and the main.cf file to start fencingin disable mode and then configure fencing.
