Sun Cluster 3.0 5/02 Release Notes

BugId 4504311

Problem Summary: When a Sun Cluster configuration is upgraded to Solaris 8 10/01 software (required for Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 upgrade), the Apache application start and stop scripts are restored. If an Apache data service (Sun Cluster HA for Apache) is already present on the cluster and configured in its default configuration (the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file exists and the /etc/rc3.d/S50apache file does not exist), the Apache application starts on its own, independent of the Sun Cluster HA for Apache data service. This prevents the data service from starting because the Apache application is already running.

Workaround: Do the following for each node.

  1. Before you shut down a node to upgrade it, determine whether the following links already exist, and if so, whether the file names contain an uppercase K or S.


    /etc/rc0.d/K16apache
    /etc/rc1.d/K16apache
    /etc/rc2.d/K16apache
    /etc/rc3.d/S50apache
    /etc/rcS.d/K16apache

    If these links already exist and contain an uppercase K or S in the file name, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, perform the action in the next step after you upgrade the node to Solaris 8 10/01 software.

  2. After the node is upgraded to Solaris 8 10/01 software, but before you reboot the node, move aside the restored Apache links by renaming the files with a lowercase k or s.
