nsswitch.conf Requirement Should Not Apply to passwd Database (4904975)

Problem Summary: The requirement for the nsswitch.conf file in Preparing the Nodes and Disks in Sun Cluster Data Service for SAP liveCache Guide for Solaris OS does not apply to the entry for the passwd database. If these requirements are met, the su command might hang on each node that can master the liveCache resource when the public network is down.

Workaround: On each node that can master the liveCache resource, ensure that the entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the passwd database is as follows:

passwd: files nis [TRYAGAIN=0]
