HP Insight Management Agents for Tru64 UNIX

PRODUCT:  HP Insight Management Agents for Tru64 UNIX
SOURCE:     Hewlett-Packard Company

PATCH-KIT SUMMARY:
A shell script-based, compressed tar Patch-kit for HP Insight Management Agents V3.3 on Tru64 UNIX (CPQIM330) that contains solution  to the following problem:

•  A run-time dependency error has been detected in the HP Tru64 Management HTTP Server (libcpqhmmo.so). The error is a result of HTTP server run-time dependency on shared library, libexpat.so, resulting in a failure to access HTTP server by WEB-based applications (HMMO).

The Patch-Kit Installation Instructions, Patch Summary and Release Notes sections provide patch kit installation and removal instructions and a summary of each patch. Please read these sections prior to installing patches on your system.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

• Install the patch components using the shell-script, "im_patch" that is included in this patch-kit.
   
• By running the im_patch script without any option, the user can get to know the various command-line options supported by the im_patch.

INSTALLATION STEPS:

1. Login as root into the system where the patch needs to be install
    
2. mkdir -p /tmp/patchkit
    
3. cd /tmp/patchkit
    
4. copy the patch-kit CPQIM330.HTTP.01.tar.gz to /tmp/patchkit
    
5. gunzip CPQIM330.HTTP.01.tar.gz
    
6. tar -xvf CPQIM330.HTTP.01.tar
    
7. ./im_patch -i CPQIM330.HTTP.01

INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES:
You must have installed HP Tru64 Insight Management Agents base-kit CPQIM330, prior to installing this Patch-Kit. This patch kit is applicable to Tru64 UNIX version 5.1A and above.

SUPERSEDED PATCH LIST: None
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE PATCH KIT: None
 

1) This Patch Kit Distribution contains:

The 'Management HTTP Server' with a fix to resolve run-time dependency of libexpat.so shared library.

The components in this kit are being released early for general customer use. Components in this kit are installed by running im_patch from the directory in which the kit was untarred.

2) Special Instructions: If this patch kit is being installed on a cluster, it is sufficient to do so on only one of the nodes. But in order for the patch to take effect on the other nodes, the agents have to be manually re-started by executing the following commands:

#/sbin/init.d/insightd stop
#/sbin/init.d/snmpd stop
#/sbin/init.d/snmpd start
#/sbin/init.d/insightd start

3) Summary of Insight Management patch components contained in this kit:

PatchId             Summary Of Fix
----------------    ------------------------------------------------------
CPQIM330.HTTP.01    libcpqhmmo.so that has a fix to resolve libexpat.so shared library
		    run-time dependency.

4) Additional information from Engineering

The 'Management HTTP Server' released as part of Insight Management Agents V3.3 has run-time dependency with shared library, libexpat.so.

HP has corrected the following run-time dependency in Insight Manager HTTP server by creating an rpath record. The loader uses the rpath record to search for shared libraries at run-time and resolve dependencies.

For Tru64 UNIX V5.1 and below, the above rpath mechanism is not supported by the loader. Add a shell wrapper around each executable that interacts with the 'HTTP' server, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/opt/CPQIM330/lib in the wrapper before calling the executable.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/opt/CPQIM330/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

5) Affected files: This patch delivers the following files:

/var/shlib/libcpqhmmo.so
/var/opt/CPQIM330/bin/libcpqhmmo.so
