Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Release Notes

Man Pages

Thi section discusses errors and omissions from the Sun Cluster man pages.

scconf_transp_adap_sci(1M)

The scconf_transp_adap_sci(1M) man page states that SCI transport adapters can be used with the rsm transport type. This support statement is incorrect. SCI transport adapters do not support the rsm transport type. SCI transport adapters support the dlpi transport type only.

scconf_transp_adap_sci(1M)

The following sentence clarifies the name of an SCI–PCI adapter. This information is not currently included in the scconf_transp_adap_sci(1M) man page.

New Information:

Use the name sciN to specify an SCI adapter.

scgdevs(1M)

The following paragraph clarifies behavior of the scgdevs command. This information is not currently included in the scgdevs(1M) man page.

New Information:

scgdevs(1M) called from the local node will perform its work on remote nodes asynchronously. Therefore, command completion on the local node does not necessarily mean it has completed its work cluster wide.

rt_properties(5)

In this release, the current API_version has been incremented to 3 from its previous value of 2. If you are developing a new Sun Cluster agent and wish to prevent your new resource type from being registered on an earlier version of Sun Cluster software, declare API_version=3 in your agent's RTR file. For more information, see rt_reg(4) and rt_properties(5).

Sun Cluster 3.0 Data Service Man Pages

To display Sun Cluster 3.0 data service man pages, install the latest patches for the Sun Cluster 3.0 data services that you installed on Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 software. See Patches and Required Firmware Levels for more information.

After you have applied the patch, access the Sun Cluster 3.0 data service man pages by issuing the man -M command with the full man page path as the argument. The following example opens the Apache man page.


% man -M /opt/SUNWscapc/man SUNW.apache

Consider modifying your MANPATH to enable access to Sun Cluster 3.0 data service man pages without specifying the full path. The following example describes command input for adding the Apache man page path to your MANPATH and displaying the Apache man page.


% MANPATH=/opt/SUNWscapc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH
% man SUNW.apache
