SUMMARY: 5.1A caad dumps core in /var/cluster/caa/

Guest

Dear friends,
at last I did succeded in making CAA work properly on my cluster.
I have been lucky since I did'nt need to do any clu_upgrade and not even
a single shutdown !

The cluster is a 5.1A on wich, after applying the first patch
t64v51ab1-c0008900-12954-e-20020124, caa did'nt work anymore.

As it has always been, the fault was mine. During the rolling upgrade,
(at dupatch), I did'nt notice that OSFPAT00026900520 was not installed
and, since it is a requisite for TCRPAT00008400520, not even the latter
was installed. And TCRPAT00008400520 was the one COMPAQ made to solve the
problem I had (do you know MURPHYs LAW?).

OSFPAT00026900520 is made of a single file /sbin/init.d/snmpd
and it was NOT installed because my system's /sbin/init.d/snmpd file was
changed from the original distribution by the installation of the kit CPQIM230
"Compaq Insight Manager Agents V2.3 for Tru64 UNIX".
Anyway I simply untarred the new /sbin/init.d/snmpd from the patch kit over
the existing /sbin/init.d/snmpd.

gunzip -c OSFPAT00026900520 > $HOME/PATCH.tar
cd /
tar -xf $HOME/PATCH.tar

To let setld know the patch was applied I did as follow:

cd /usr/.smdb
echo _INSTALLED > OSFPAT00026900520.sts
mkcdsl -a OSFPAT00026900520.sts

TCRPAT00008400520 is a tar file composed of many files each of them is to be
placed in the cluster wide file system. There are no cdsl, and all files are
related to CAA, nothing is related to the system as a whole (it seemed to me).
So I installed the patch as I did previously:

gunzip -c TCRPAT00008400520 > $HOME/PATCH.tar
cd /
tar -xf $HOME/PATCH.tar

To let setld know the patch was applied I did as follow:

cd /usr/.smdb
echo _INSTALLED > TCRPAT00008400520.sts
mkcdsl -a TCRPAT00008400520.sts

Then I kill -9 caad processes on both cluster members, they automatically
restarted and now
===================== caa works perfectely !!! ================
