This chapter describes known documentation problems.
In the chapter, Using High Availability (HA), sections 1b and 4b, on pages 72 and 73, should read as follows:
Section 1b:
If it does not already exist, configure the HA heartbeat interface.
For bos-screen1 in this example, use the following command:
# echo "10.0.4.1" > /etc/hostname.hme3 |
Section 4b:
If it does not already exist, configure the HA heartbeat interface.
For bos-screen2 in this example, use the following command:
# echo "10.0.4.2" > /etc/hostname.hme3 |
The documentation issues in this section apply to different locations in the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
At the end of the section, The Switch File and Password Information, the following text should be added:
Avoid maintaining multiple repositories for the same user. By maintaining centralized password management in a single repository for each user, you reduce the possibilities of confusion and error. If you choose to maintain multiple repositories per user, update password information by using the passwd -r command.
passwd -r repository |
If no repository is specified with the -r option, passwd updates the list of repositories in nsswitch.conf in reverse order.
In the LDAP Naming Services Setup and Administration section, references to the use of the ldapclient command options are incorrect. For all Solaris 9 releases, the command syntax should be changed to the following:
Incorrect Reference |
Correct Reference |
---|---|
ldapclient -l |
ldapclient list |
ldapclient -p |
ldapclient init [-a attribute name] |
ldapclient -m |
ldapclient mod |
For more information, see the ldapclient(1M) man page.
In the chapter Transitioning from NIS to LDAP (Overview/Tasks), Table 19-2 N2L Commands and Files should include the following additional information.
Table 41 Table 192 N2L Commands and Files
Command or File |
Description |
---|---|
ageing.byname |
A mapping used by yppasswdd to read and write password aging information to the DIT when the NIS-to-LDAP transition is implemented. |
In the chapter Network Information Service (NIS) (Overview), Table 7-3 NIS Map Descriptions should include the following additional NIS maps.
Table 42 Table 73 NIS Map Descriptions
Map Name |
Corresponding NIS Admin File |
Description |
---|---|---|

The section, Creating DHCP Options and Macros for Solaris Installation Parameters, should include the following information about DHCP Vendor Options Size Limitations:
Note that the sum total of the values assigned to all the options in a macro must not exceed 255 bytes, including the option codes and length information. This limit is dictated by the DHCP protocol.
Generally, you should pass the minimum amount of vendor information needed. You should use short path names in options that require path names. If you create symbolic links to long paths, you can pass the shorter link names.
Several patches require that the CIM Object Manager be started manually, after the patches have been applied. The following is a list of those patches:

To restart the CIM Object Manager, follow these steps:
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop |
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start |
For more information about stopping and restarting the CIM Object Manager, see Stopping and Restarting the CIM Object Manager, in the Solaris WBEM Developer's Guide.
