This section describes issues that impact Sun Update Connection – Enterprise managed hosts.
When using Bare Metal Installation with the Sun Update Connection – Enterprise System Dependency Server on SuSE 9.2, you must download and install the following RPM:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/suse/i586/python-mysql-1.1.1-2.1.i586.rpm |
After running a job on a Solaris agent and after performing the reboot job, the Solaris agent becomes disconnected. Also, the following error message appears several times in the debug log on the agent:
358:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded:md_rand.c:512:You need to read the OpenSSL FAQ, http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html |
This problem is described on the OpenSSL web site at http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#USER1.
If you are using a Solaris 8 system, add the /dev/urandom and /dev/random devices by installing patch ID 112438 (SPARC®) or patch ID 112439 (x86). These patches are available from Patchfinder at http://sunsolve.sun.com.
The Solaris 9 software includes these devices by default.
To get /dev/random support for earlier Solaris versions, see Sun's statement at http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-25-27606-1.
The SUNWski package is available in patch ID 105710.
The agent communicates with the SDS when asked to exit. If the SDS is offline or inaccessible, the agent will not be able to be stopped normally and thus cannot be uninstalled.
Kill the agent manually if it hangs.
When a user chooses not to perform an immediate reboot of a host, the Pending Reboot is indicated by the UCE console twice:
In the Host progress dialog.
There is a line on the Host's TODO list saying Remember to reboot
In the Inventory window.
The inventory window displays the host list on the left and the components tree on the right.
As part of the components tree there is a specific root category named Notifications. Within this category there are two components: Reboot and Reboot Reconfigure. These two components are normally marked as (installed) when the selected host has 'Pending Reboot'. However, this indication is not working. The (installed) indication is not shown.
This does not affect the operation of the application.
