What's New for Installation


New, Simplified SA Core Installation/Upgrade

SA 10.0 introduces major improvements to the SA Installer that simplify the installation and upgrade procedures, including:


Reserved Ports

SA 10.0 requires that the following ports be open:

Note: In addition, other ports are required to be open for previous releases of SA. See the corresponding release notes at:
http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/manuals.


Upgrade

If your SA Core matches one of the SA Core configurations supported for customer upgrade and described in Chapter 2: SA Core Configurations in the SA Standard/Advanced Installation Guide, you can upgrade from a previous SA version to SA 10.0 yourself. However, if your core does not match any of these SA Core configurations, your first upgrade of an SA Core to SA 10.0 from a previous version must be performed by HP Professional Services or an HP certified consultant.

After the core has been upgraded to SA 10.0, HP supports customer-performed upgrades to SA 10.x or later as long as your core configuration is one of the supported configurations. All other core configurations will continue to require the services of HP Professional Services. If you are uncertain whether
you can upgrade an existing SA Core yourself, contact HP Technical Support.

What's New for Qualified Managed Platform Support/OS Systems Support


SA Client Support for Windows Operating Systems

This section lists the operating-systems supported on the SA Client.

What's New for Deprecated Managed Platforms/Agents/Features

This section lists deprecated platforms for this release.

When a platform/agent/feature is identified as deprecated for a release, it means that you (the SA customer) are considered notified of its future removal. Deprecated features are still fully supported in the release they are deprecated in, unless specified otherwise. The intent is that deprecated features or platforms will have support removed in the next major or minor SA release; however, eventual removal is at the discretion of HP.

Managed Platforms in SA 10.0

The following platforms are deprecated as of SA 10.0:

Agent Upgrade Tool

The Agent Upgrade Tool that is run from the OPSH shell and allows upgrading the agents on managed servers was deprecated. As of SA 10.0, a replacement APX was introduced that has several improvements and can be run from the SA Client.

SA Agents

SA no longer supports SA Agents associated with SA 7.8x and earlier versions.

Pre-SA 10.0 agents are supported only in upgraded cores.

If you upgrade to SA 10.0, it is recommended that you migrate to the newest versions of the SA Agent on your managed platforms.

API Methods

Since SA 9.0, moving application configurations and configuration templates into folders changed the behavior of the associated classes and services.

Attributes folder and lifecycle of the VO-s are required for the following API calls:

com.opsware.acm.ConfigurationService#create
com.opsware.acm.ConfigurationService#update
com.opsware.acm.CMLService#create
com.opsware.acm.CMLService#update

The following methods have been deprecated, but they still perform as expected.

Method
com.opsware.folder.FolderVO#getCustomers should be used instead.
com.opsware.acm.ConfigurationVO#getCustomers
com.opsware.acm.CMLVO#getCustomers

The following methods have been deprecated and they have a void implementation.

Method
com.opsware.folder.FolderVO#setCustomers must be used instead.
com.opsware.acm.ConfigurationVO#setCustomers
com.opsware.acm.CMLVO#setCustomers

 

What's New for Unsupported Platforms/Agents/Features


Unsupported Managed Platforms for SA 10.0

The following platforms are no longer supported as of SA 10.0:


Unsupported Features


Code Deployment and Rollback (CDR) and Configuration Tracking

Code Deployment and Rollback (CDR) was deprecated in the SA 7.80 release, and is no longer supported. The Application Deployment Manager replaces the CDR. See the SA User Guide: Application Deployment Manager for more information.

For more information about the deprecation of CDR, contact HP Technical Support.


Virtualization Features

Legacy Job Types No Longer Supported New Replacement Job Types
Clone Virtual Machine (VMware) Clone Virtual Machine
Create Virtual Machine (Hyper-V)
Create Virtual Machine (VMware)		 Create Virtual Machine
Delete Virtual Machine (Hyper-V)
Remove Virtual Machine		 Delete Virtual Machine
Modify Virtual Machine
Modify Virtual Machine (Hyper-V)		 Modify Virtual Machine

Note:  Any scheduled or blocked jobs of the legacy job types will be marked as Deleted during migration.

Unsupported Scripts

As of SA 7.80, the following scripts are no longer supported:

start_opsware.sh
stop_opsware.sh

Starting In SA 9.0, you must use the unified start script:

/etc/init.d/opsware-sas

If you have any applications or scripts that depend on this script, you must rewrite them to use the unified start script.

What's New for Agents


Upgrading SA Agents

Since 9.11, SA Agents have used Python 2.4.4.

After you upgrade to SA 10.0, you should also upgrade to the 10.0 SA Agents on each Managed Server in the facility.

You can continue to use non-upgraded agents, but you will not benefit from new features in this release (such as qualified managed platforms, and the other features listed in the What's New section of these release notes).

Faster SA Agent Installation

For more information on the Agent Upgrade tool, on installing the agent, and on bringing servers under SA management, see the SA User Guide: Server Automation.

What's New for Audits


Audit Policies

The Windows Hyper-V Manager rule type has been removed from all audit policies.

Audit Results Viewer

In previous releases, when you viewed an audit result, all targets were shown in the left-tree panel. In this release, the servers are grouped by compliance status in the left-tree panel.

When you have a large number of target servers, you no longer have to navigate through a long list, you can now focus on the non-compliant or failed servers. Being able to focus increases the user-interface usability and improves load time.

Compliance-Based Audit Policy

A new Compliance view has been added to the Audit Policy panel. The view shows:

  • Target servers on which the Audit Policy has been executed.
  • Compliance status for the last execution of the Audit Policy for each target server.

    • Ordering of Custom Script Rules

    If you have multiple custom scripts, you can specify the order of their execution on the managed server using the Move Up or Move Down buttons. Remediation of the rules will happen in the same order.

    Soft Cancel

    Users can cancel recurring schedules and currently running ad-hoc supported audit and remediation jobs. The job on the current server in-flight will be finished. If a job has not already begun on a server, it will not start. This ability is enabled on a single core or a mesh.

    What's New for SA Command-line Interface (OCLI)


    Installation and Usage

    Starting with SA 10.0, installing and using OCLI on Linux and Unix machines is simpler:

    To install the SA Command-line Interface (OCLI), issue the following command:

    <package_name> -d <installation_directory>

    No other steps are necessary to setup the environment .

    When using the OCLI, use the new oupload and odownload scripts available in the new bin directory:

    <ocli_install_dir>/bin/oupload.sh
    <ocli_install_dir>/bin/odownload.sh

    OS Independent Packages

    Uploading of OS Independent packages (except of type UNKNOWN) might not be supported in a future release. Two new platform families (UNIX and WINDOWS) were added instead, and can be used with the --os option.


    What's New for Database and Middleware Automation

    Database and Middleware Automation (HP DMA) is no longer installed as part of Server Automation. Starting with HP DMA version 10.00, HP DMA is available as a separate product with its own installation media. HP DMA 10.0x is still integrated with Server Automation, however. For more information, see the HP DMA Installation Guide.

    What's New for OO-SA Integration

    Updates pertaining specifically to the OO-SA integration (Server Automation operations performed within Operations Orchestration) are delivered via the HP Live Network at https://hpln.hp.com/.

    What's New for Oracle Database and Model Repository

    As of SA 10.0, the schema and index statistics collection for SA database users AAA, TRUTH, and so on. have been moved from dba_jobs to Oracle's Automatic Optimizer Statistics Collection. Starting with SA 10 you will no longer see these jobs in dba_jobs.

    Starting with Oracle 10g, the DBA_JOB package was superseded by the improved Oracle Scheduler (dba_scheduler) package. Although Oracle still supports the DBA_JOB package for backward compatibility, Oracle will make no further enhancements to the package. Since the DBA_SCHEDULER provides better functionality, all the SA jobs that used the DBA_JOB package have been redesigned in this SA release to use the DBA_SCHEDULER package. The affected jobs can be found in the dba_scheduler_jobs table. These changes are only relevant to new SA 10.0 Cores and cores upgraded to SA 10.0.

    To view the jobs and changes made, you can run the following from SQL*Plus:

    # Su - oracle
    # Sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    SQL>set line 200
    SQL>col owner format a14
    SQL>col job_action format a50
    SQL>col job_name format a50
    SQL>select job_name, owner, job_action from dba_scheduler_jobs where owner in
    ('OPSWARE_ADMIN', 'LCREP', 'GCADMIN');

    Oracle RAC

    This release supports Oracle 11.2.03. For more information on Oracle RAC, see the SA installation guides.

    What's New for OS Provisioning


    New Features

    The following new features have been added to OS Provisioning:


    What's New for Build-Plan OGFS Script Execution

    In previous SA versions, if you created OGFS scripts and added them to your build plans, the scripts were executed in the file system in the following directory:

    /opsw/.Server.ID/<mid>/files/<user>

    Now, the scripts are executed in this new location:

    /opsw/.Server.ID/<mid>

    As a result of this change, you must add the following line to your build-plan scripts to avoid compatibility issues with user scripts:

    cd files/root (Linux)

    cd files/Administrator ( Windows)

     

    OS Build-Plan Support for VMware ESXi5 and ESXi5.1

    SA briefly stops the VMware ESXi firewall in order to communicate the VM's IP Address, so that it can be managed by the SA core. SA restarts the firewall immediately afterwards.

    If you do not want SA to stop and start the firewall, use static OS Provisioning instead.

    Enhanced HP ProLiant Support

    ProLiant support includes:

    For more information, see the SA README.html, SA UG: OS Provisioning guide, and the SA online help.

    Support for OS Build Plans

    HP ProLiant Gen8 models have two embedded service operating systems available: Linux and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). SA can use either the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) functionality of these embedded systems, or Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) booting.

    To use the embedded systems' iLO functionality, you must add your server as an iLO device to the list of unprovisioned servers.

    There are two ways to do this:

    In both these cases, you will need to manually provide iLO credentials and the corresponding SA realm (which is related to the SA Satellite or core available in the target network). This information defines the SA infrastructure to be contacted after the embedded service operating system is booted. When you use PXE booting, this information is provided by the PXE server automatically.

    For more information on how to add your server, see" Installing (Provisioning) an Operating System" in the UG: OS Provisioning.

    Operating System Build-Plan Updates

    New Features

    The following new features have been added to build plans:

    Enhanced Steps

    The following 3 steps have been enhanced, or added, to build plans for HP ProLiant Gen8 support.

    Virtual Installation Device (VID) handling

    HP ProLiant Gen8 devices support special Virtual Installation Devices (VIDs).

    SA handles VIDs as follows:

    For more information on this topic and for specific use case, see "Prepare Disks on HP ProLiant Gen8" in the SA OS Provisioning README.

    Running OS Build Plans on Servers

    Build plans can now be run on servers that are in the pre-unprovisioned lifecycle.

    SLES 11 SP1 kISO Handling

    If you are using SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1 and above, you must do the following to support the SuSE kernel & driver update method using kISO:

    1. Download the kISO & mount the ISO file for access.
    2. Create (or reuse) a SLES distribution repository in a directory (for example: /repositories/SLES-11-SP1-x86_64).
    3. Create a new directory called addon (the directory name does not have to be case sensitive, you can also use AddOn or ADDON) under your new repository directory (for example: /repositories/SLES-11-SP1-x86_64/addon).
    4. Copy the kISO contents to the addon directory.
    5. Replace the original installation kernel and initrd files with the kISO files found in the addon directory.
    6. Copy the contents of the addon/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd directory to the following directory: boot/x86_64/loader/initrd.
    7. Copy the contents of the addon/boot/x86_64/loader/linux directory to the following directory: boot/x86_64/loader/linux.

    Note: If you experience driver problems with SLES 11 SP1 and kISO on HP ProLiant Gen8 target machines, see the following technical support documents:

    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03237879
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03237878

    For more information on kISO handling, see the kISO media documentation and the OS Provisioning README.

    OS Build-Plan Custom Attributes

    Custom attributes set on the build plan will now be resolved and used in parameters and scripts during the execution of the build plan. If a custom attribute with the same name exist anywhere else on or in the servers’ hierarchy, its value will take precedence over the value set on the build plan. This is the priority order from highest to lowest:

    1. server
    2. device group
    3. customer
    4. realm
    5. facility
    6. OS
    7. software policy
    8. (new) OS build plan

    Driver Update for HP ProLiant G6/G7 Servers

    SA service operating-system drivers have been updated with the latest HP ProLiant SP drivers: SPP 2012.02 b51.

    Multipath SAN Support for OS Provisioning

    As of this release, SA provides multipath SAN support for the topics listed in this section.

    OS Sequences

    Red Hat 6 automatically identifies multipathing and enables kernel modules, but Red Hat 5 does not.

    For Red Hat 5, before you run the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (REL) 5 OS Sequence, use the following steps to pass mpath' as a kernel argument for the server:

    1. Define a custom attribute kernel_arguments for the server, and set its value to mpath.
    2. Create the OS Installation Profile.
    3. Add a custom attribute to the Installation profile, and set its value to mpath.
    4. Set the value of the installation profile to mpath.

    If you are performing multipath installation, it is also recommended that you add mpath as the kernel argument in the kickstart Red Hat 5 file. You can do this by creating a copy of Configure Default Red Hat 5 ks.cfg and modifying the file for use in your OS build plan.

    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11

    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 does not identify multipathing by default. Use the procedures in this section to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on multipath LUNs.

    Windows 2008/ Windows 2008 R2

    Windows supports installations in multipath environments. Install multipath Device Specific Modules (DSMs) to further improve the capabilities of the target server. Import these DSMs into the SA Software Repository and install them using software policies attached to OS sequences.

    You can modify the SAN Policy for the Windows Service OS (Winpe32, winpe64, winpe32-ogfs, winpe64-ogfs) shipped with SA. For more information about available options, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749466(v=ws.10).aspx.

    The default SAN Policy registry value in the SA-provided Windows pre-installation environment (WinPE) boot image is 1.

    VMWare ESX/ESXi

    VMWare ESX and ESXi support multipathing - no additional steps are required.

    Use the Inject Multipath AutoYaST step

    You must add the Inject Multipath AutoYaST Settings step to the OS build plan.

    Perform the following tasks:

    1. Create a new OS build plan by copying the default SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Install Build Plan from the SA Client library.
    2. Add the Inject Multipath AutoYaST Settings step after the Install And Configure SUSE Build Image step.
    3. Add the Embed Files Initrd step after the Inject Multipath AutoYaST Settings step with the following parameters:

      -s /tmp/user.autoinst.xml:/

    The drive injections in the AutoYaST will be performed based on the criterion defined in the OS sequences (see Partitioning Section in AutoYaST).

    Server Location Display

    The Server Location node shows the server’s physical location. The General category in the node displays the following information:

    Note: The server location section only displays information about the HP ProLiant BL servers.

    Accessing Partitions in Linux Service OS ( maintenance mode )

    You can already access your local-system partitions at: /mnt/<<device name>>. As an enhancement of SA 10.0, you will also be able to access your partitions in /mnt/by-uuid and /mnt/by-label to ease the identification of the partitions.

    What's New for Solaris 11


    New APIs

    To support Solaris 11, the following classes were added to the UAPI:

    Solaris 11 Memory Requirements

    Solaris 11 servers must have more than 1 Gigabyte memory in order to enter the SA Managed Server Pool.

    Solaris 11 Patching Support

    Oracle Solaris 11 uses IPS packages to deliver software and software updates. IPS (Image Packaging System) is a network-based package management system that is used for the entire software lifecycle, including package installation, upgrade and removal.

    Server Automation's Solaris 11 platform support for server patching allows you to update your managed servers to the latest versions of existing software without installing new software. This is a powerful way to keep your system up to date in an environment that no longer supports explicit patch units.

    Solaris 11 patching support leverages the existing Solaris patching functionality, with a few differences to adapt to the new Solaris IPS package delivery structure. Additionally, there are setup requirements for setting up the initial IPS Package database.

    Note: The SA 9.13 Solaris 11 Patching Whitepaper applies to all SA versions, starting with SA 9.13, and provides detailed instructions on setting up and maintaining the IPS Package database. This document also describes the Solaris 11 patch policy and remediation differences. This whitepaper is available via HP's Software Support Online at http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/manuals.

    Using Server Modules (SMOs) with Solaris 11

    Solaris 11 introduces Role-based Access Control (RBAC), which affects the functionality of SA Server Modules (SMOs). SMOs rely on the root user to get information from the managed servers. In previous versions of Solaris, the root account is created as a user by default, with the option to have it as a role. In Solaris 11, the root account is created as a role by default; not as a user.

    In order to enable the SMO functionality, the system administrator must modify the root account (root) to make it a user with regular login capability. The best method for doing this is to run an ad hoc script on the managed server.

    To enable root for regular login capability:

    1. Navigate to Devices > Servers > All Managed Servers.
    2. Right-click on the target server and select Run Script > Select Script… and choose Define Ad hoc Script.
    3. In the Script Contents, enter the line ‘rolemod -K type=normal root’ and click Next.
    4. Choose Runtime User: root and click Start Job.

      After the job completes the user will be able to run the SMOs on the selected servers.

    Note: To change the root account to a role again, complete the same procedure but enter ‘usermod -K type=role root’ in the Script Contents.

    Oracle Solaris 11 OS Provisioning

    Oracle Solaris 11 provides a service called the Automated Installer to handle OS Provisioning of bare-metal servers. The Oracle Solaris Automated Installer requires a new package type called IPS.

    Solaris 11 OS Provisioning is somewhat different than the procedure used to provision Oracle Solaris 10.

    The Oracle Solaris 11 Automated Installer no longer uses the Solaris JumpStart mechanism. Instead, SA components have been adapted to use the new Solaris 11 provisioning mechanism.

    New Platform-Specific Changes

    1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=ocomen and download the images under "Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 Repository Image".  There are two ISO images: Part A SPARC, x86 (3.3 GB), and Part B SPARC, x86 (3.1 GB).
    2. Follow the instructions on the download page to concatenate the two images into a single full image.
    3. Mount the image and copy it to the SA Media server under the directory: /media/opsware/sunos
    Oracle Solaris Automated Installer

    The Oracle Solaris Automated Installer uses two response files:

    Limitations

    Customizations

    The new Oracle Solaris 11 OS provisioning mechanism allows the use of custom attributes to simplify system configuration.

    These are:

    Custom Attribute Name Use Example Values
    mrl The MRL created by the import_media script. This is useful when you want to use an external repository. http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
    http_proxy
    		Specify when you use HTTP repositories. http://PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT
    root_password Specifies the root password in hash format. Use a password from the /etc/shadow directory on the Solaris 11 machine.
    enable_root_user Solaris 11 allows root to be defined as a role in the sc.xml file.

    Presence of this custom attribute will trigger the user creation, even if 'no' value is set.

    		 yes
    hostname Specifies the hostname of the machine. mysolaris11

    What's New for Software Management


    Application Configuration


    Application-Configuration Settings Preview

    In the software policy installation and remediation summary steps, you can now preview your application-configuration settings by pressing a new Preview button to display a preview dialog box. You can also set values. Previously, you had to wait until the installation was finished, and customize/push the application configuration data again.

    Application Configuration History

    When reviewing an existing application configuration, with multiple prior versions, it is now possible to review any archived versions of the application configurations before committing to a rollback.

    New ISM Tool Feature

    The ISM Tool can now create Solaris 11 Image Packaging System (IPS) packages.

    Support RPM Rollback Job Blocking

    RPM rollback jobs are now subject to Job Blocking through the Administration tab. You can configure those jobs in the same way as other types of jobs, including blocking approval of the job.

    Remediate RPM Packages Using the Native YUM

    The new Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM) plugin is an alternative to the old YUM Adapter for the analyze phase of the remediation process. It uses the native YUM available on the managed server and has the following main advantages:

    The YUM version available on the managed server can be identified by running the following command in the command line:

    yum --version

    When available, the managed server’s native YUM is used to analyze RPM package dependencies. When the managed server does not have a native YUM available, the SA YUM Adapter is used instead. This behavior is based on the default and recommended setting governed by the SA configuration parameter, way.analyze.yum, which has the following available values:

    0 - use the YUM adapter (YUM v2.6.1)
    1 - use the native YUM when available, otherwise use the YUM adapter (Default)
    2 - use the native YUM

    Warning: Changes to SA Core configuration parameter values, as listed in this Release Notes document, are verified by HP and you can safely apply them as directed. However, exercise caution when modifying any default SA Core configuration parameter values as modifications can have a negative effect on core functionality and performance. SA configuration parameters are accessible through SA Client >Administration > System Configuration. Only system administrators with the ‘Manage system configurations in SA’ user group permission can change these settings.

    IMPORTANT—Known issue with legacy YUM: YUM versions prior to 3.2.22 may encounter an installation error if a package is stored in multiple locations. For example, if you import a package to Folder A, run a remediation job, and then import the same package to Folder B and try to install it, the analysis might fail, reporting the package from folder B as missing. This issue does not reproduce on servers using YUM version 3.2.22 or later, where the YUM repository is updated to contain both packages.

    Enhanced Import/Export Software windows

    The import/export windows were enhanced as follows:

    2. Restart the Web Services Data Access Engine .
    QCCR1D166272 You cannot launch the SA Client after upgrading your core from an earlier version of SA to SA 10.0, and you receive a Launch File Error. Independent Administration UI

    Follow these steps:

    1. Uninstall the old launcher.
    2. Download the new launcher by doing one of the following:
      1. Accessing the login page and downloading the new launcher.
      2. Logging-in to the core and, from the right panel in the home page, download the installer.
    3. Install the new launcher.

    All the previous settings are retained and it should be able to launch without any issues.

    Agent
    QCCR1D91352 Agent deployment times are increased considerably (sometimes up to 30 minutes) if you try to deploy to a host that does not have the uudecode program installed.

    In the staging phase of the Agent deployment process, the transmission of the binaries to UNIX/Linux hosts is done over a character stream. The binary files are encoded prior to the transmission and decoded once uploaded to the remote host (using the uudecode program). If uudecode program is not present on the remote host, ADT uses an inline implementation that is very slow.

    		 Unix, Linux Agent Deployment Make sure that the uudecode program is installed on the host to be managed.
    QCCR1D107917 Failed SA agent installation returns gencache.py error message in the agent log file (%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\opsware-agent-installer- .log). Windows Agent Installer Remove all the files from the following three directories,
    if they exist, and reinstall the agent.

    %SystemDrive%\Program Files\opsware\agent\lcpython15
    \Lib\site-packages\win32c om\gen_py\

    %TEMP%\gen_py

    %SystemDrive%:\Windows\temp\gen_p

    QCCR1D110347 Windows servers running a pre-9.0 agent can perform a scan on an upgraded 9.0 core but not on a freshly installed 9.0 core because scanning Windows utilities are retained on the upgraded core but are absent from the freshly installed core. Windows Agent Upgrade the agent on the managed servers that you registered
    with SA 9.0.
    QCCR1D111593 Agent fails to install when there is a gateway problem, but the agent log reports that the installation was successful.

    		Windows Agent Installer Make sure the gateway can be reached from the managed server.
    QCCR1D118437 Agent deployment fails several times due to timeout issues when the uudecode utility is not installed on the machine to which the Agent is deployed.
    		Red Hat or SUSE Linux s390x Agent Deployment/Upgrade Install the uudcode utility on the machine(s) to which Agents are to be deployed to facilitate Agent deployment.
    QCCR1D137348

    Your Solaris satellites and managed servers cannot be accessed with OGFS, because your PAM library for Secure Shell (SSH) is incompatible with the SSH daemon that SA uses for OGFS.

    		 Solaris Agent

    To resolve the issue, add ptymonitor.nopam:1 to the agent.args file on Solaris. This will bypass the PAM-based authentication.

    Caution: Contact HP Support for more information before you make this change.
    QCCR1D140236

    SA Agent scan for installed software fails.

    		RHEL 5 x86 - 64 Agent Either rename the createrepo folder or add an RpmQueryCli: rpm line to the agent.args file that will instruct the SA Agent use the rpm command when searching for installed packages.

    APX

    QCCR1D116476 APX session timeout is not correctly implemented. Independent APX To increase timeout for Web APX Proxy (Note: this must be
    done at all the Slices on all the Cores):
    1. Edit /etc/opt/opsware/apxproxy/apxproxy.conf
      to specify both the session timeout and socket
      timeout. Make sure socket timeout is at least
      equal to session timeout. For example,

      apxproxy.apx.session.timeout=1200000
      apxproxy.apx.socket.timeout=1200000

    2. Edit both /opt/opsware/apxhttpd/conf/httpd.conf.tmpl
      and /var/opt/opsware/ogfs/mnt/root/opt/opsware/
      apxhttpd/conf/httpd.conf.tmpl       to add a timeout directive.
      Add this property after the "Server" property. For example,

      imeOut 1200

      Remember, unlike apxproxy.conf, the timeout value in
      httpd.conf.tmpl is in seconds, not millisecond.

    3. Restart the Core.

    “Policy has changed since the last scan”.

    		Independent Audit and Remediation Rerun the audit job.
    QCCR1D161054 If you set an audit schedule in previous releases (pre-SA 10.0), and you used System time zones (such as SystemV/PST8 or System V/PST8PDT), you will receive a com.opsware.job.IllegalScheduleException error.

    		 Independent Audit and Remediation Reset the audit schedule to use supported time zones.
    QCCR1D162962 When you export audit results to XML, the results will not be correctly displayed if they include text that has an accented character. The following error appears in the results:

    XML page cannot be displayed. Invalid character was found in text content.

    QCCR1D133226 In order to monitor an Oracle 11G database with the SA Oracle Database Scanner, the XML DB and DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package must exist in the database. 

    The SA Oracle DB Scanner needs access to these objects in order to grant privileges and access for itself. If the objects do not exist, then the "pamuserprivilege.sql" will fail and the DB Scanner cannot be run.   An application may or may not install these objects in its Oracle 11G database.

    The following error might be displayed under these circumstances:
    "PLS-00905: object SYS.DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN is invalid". 

    		 Independent Database Scanner for Oracle Before executing the SA DB Scanner "pamuserprivilege.sql" in the Oracle database, first perform the following steps to install the XML DB and DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package in the Oracle 11G database.

    Database and Middleware Automation (DMA)
    QCCR1D133378 Workflow cancellation indicates success in the DMA Console, but workflow runs to completion on SA managed server. Independent DMA Use the appropriate process manager for the managed server's Operating System (for example, kill for UNIX and Task Manager for Windows) to manually terminate the process. 
    QCCR1D146469 If you run the da_baseline.sh -erase command manually in order to delete all of your Database and Middleware Automation data and reload the default data, the Discovery solution pack is not reloaded. Independent DMA Follow these steps to import the Discovery solution pack:

    1. Copy the following file from the SA Core server to the system where you will access the Database and Middleware Automation user interface (UI): /opt/opsware/da/webapps/dma/discovery/Discovery.zip
    2. On that system, open the Database and Middleware Automation UI in a browser:
      http://SACoreServer/dma/login.
    3. Log in using your SA user name and password.
      At least one of your roles must include the Manage Database & Middleware Automation SA action permission.
    4. On the Solutions ® Installed page, browse to the Discovery.zip file that you copied in step 1.

    Gateways (Bandwidth Configuration Tool)
    QCCR1D147794 Provide warning for bandwidth throttle behavior in 9.06 -> 9.0 -> SA 10.0 upgrade path.

    		 Independent Gateways (Bandwidth Configuration Tool) During the 9.06 to 9.0 rollback, changes made in 9.06 to the Bandwidth Configuration Management Tool (including properties files changes and to the default BWT.conf file) are deleted (undone).
    When you upgrade the core to SA 10.0, perform the following task to restore your configuration:

    From a Slice Component bundle host (or from a Satellite host), run the following command to push the configuration file:

    /opt/opsware/opswgw/bin/gwctl -f <path_of_your_config_file>
      After you upgrade your core to SA 10.0, the SA 9.0 satellite is unreachable. Independent Gateway For 9.0 Satellites to work with SA 10.0, an Egress filter must be modified in the Gateway.

    For example, for a 9.0 Satellite that connects to TOMATOSAT1 Core:

    1. Change the Gateway configuration as follows:

      Original Gateway Filter:
      opswgw.EgressFilter=tcp:*:1002:*:TOMATOSAT1
      Change to :
      opswgw.EgressFilter=tcp:*:1002:*:*

    2. Restart the satellite gateway.
    3. **Important ** After upgrading the satellite to SA 10.0 the Gateway filter must be restored to the original filter. In this case, restore it back to:

      opswgw.EgressFilter=tcp:*:1002:*:TOMATOSAT1
    QCCR1D183895

    If you only upgrade your SA Core from 9.1x to 10.0, then upgrade to 10.01, but do not upgrade your SA satellites in the same maintenance window, the satellite facility and its managed subsystem become unreachable.

    		 Linux Gateway Upgrade your satellites at the same time as you upgrade your SA core.

    		 Solaris Patch Management - Solaris This issue is caused by the fact that Fujitsu recently started requiring username/passwords to download README's from their website.

    1. If you have a Fujitsu account, enter the Fujitsu account credentials into /etc/opt/opsware/solpatch_import.conf.

    Here are the Fujitsu credential entries in the solpatch_import.conf file:

    fujitsu_download_user=<user name>
    fujitsu_download_pass=<password>

    2. You can also do a temporary workaround to disable the attempted download of Fujitsu account information by editing the /etc/opt/opsware/solpatch_import/collections.xml file to remove the <Fujitsu_clusters> tag information. This will prevent the solpatch_import script from attempting to import the Fujitsu README files. Here is an example of the XML data that will need to be removed:

    Virtualization

    QCCR1D150577 Cloning a powered-on VM running Windows on some earlier versions of VMware ESX/ESXi fails during the Guest Customization step.

    If you are:

    • Running a version of VMware before ESXi 4.1 Update 2 or ESXi 5.0 Update 1, and
    • the VM is running Windows, and
    • the VM has VMware guest tools installed, and
    • the VM is powered on, and
    • you try to clone the VM, then:
    The clone operation can fail in the Guest Customization step.

    This occurs because of a VMware problem that has been resolved in ESXi 4.1 Update 2 and ESXi 5.0 Update 1. For details, see the Resolved Issues listed in the VMware ESXi 4.1 Update 2 Release Notes or the VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 Release Notes.    		 VMware vCenter, Windows Virtualization - VMware To resolve this issue, you can do either of the following:
    • Upgrade to a later version of VMware ESXi where this problem is fixed. For details, see the Resolved Issues listed in the VMware ESXi 4.1 Update 2 Release Notes or the VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 Release Notes.
    • Power off the VM before cloning it.
    QCCR1D141907 If you configured the number of cores per socket using the native vSphere client, and modify the number of virtual processors with a Modify VM job in SA, the CPUs might end up in an invalid configuration.  When you edit the CPU settings in the native vSphere client, this error, “Number of cores per socket cannot be greater than number of virtual CPUs” occurs when the configuration is invalid.

    The native vSphere client multiplies the number of virtual sockets by the number of cores per socket to determine the Total CPUs.  SA only discovers and sets the Total CPUs (from the Virtual Processors field). 
    Examples when the VM has 2 cores per socket: 

    • Set SA’s Virtual Processors to 8, there will be 4 virtual sockets and 8 total CPUs. 
    • Set SA’s Virtual Processors to 1, the number of virtual sockets will be 1 and that results in an invalid configuration.
    		 VMware vCenter Virtualization If the number of cores per socket for a VM is greater than 1, and you want to modify the CPUs:

    1. From SA, set the number of Virtual Processors as a strong multiple of the number of cores per socket.

    The problem occurs when:

    • Clone VM or Deploy VM from Template
    • The source is Windows 2008 32-bit or 64-bit
    • The source has a static IP address

    Although the source’s IP address is not removed, the new VM still works because it marks the correct IP address as preferred.

    This may occur in several scenarios, here are a few examples:

    • The SCVMM server is down.
    • You have a large SCVMM inventory and you are running concurrent reload data jobs.
    • You perform Delete VM, Delete VM Template, or any power control operation on a large number of objects in one job.
    • You have many concurrent jobs running against the same SCVMM.
    The reason is that SA is unable to connect to the SCVMM server. Or, the maximum number of connections to the SCVMM server through the SA Agent has been reached.    		 Microsoft SCVMM Virtualization Backend Check the following:

    • That the host server is running and has a valid network computer name.
    • The Virtualization Service is running, is DNS resolvable, and has proper network communication.
