Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service 5/03 Release Notes

SAP liveCache Stop Method Times Out (4836272)

If you are running Solaris 9, include one of the following entries for the publickey database in the /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration files on each node that can be the primary for liveCache resources so that the data service starts and stops correctly during a network failure:

publickey: 
publickey:  files
publickey:  files [NOTFOUND=return] nis 
publickey:  files [NOTFOUND=return] nisplus

The Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache data service uses the dbmcli command to start and stop the liveCache. The network service might become unavailable when a cluster node's public network fails. Adding one of the above entries, in addition to updates documented in Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for SAP liveCache ensures that the su command and the dbmcli command do not refer to the NIS/NIS+ name services.
