Description
Error Message
The following errors were discovered on the systems:------------------------------------- -------------------------CPI ERROR V-9-30-1446 The following required OS commands are missing on node243:/usr/sbin/nslookup: No such file or directoryCPI ERROR V-9-30-1446 The following required OS commands are missing on node244:/usr/sbin/nslookup: No such file or directory
Cause
This issue is tracked via Veritas etrack incident mentioned in the Supplemental Materials section.
In Solaris 11, "nslookup" has been deprecated by the Internet Systems Consortium and this should no longer be referenced, instead either host or dig should be used.
As nslookup has been deprecated, CPI installer should no longer allowed use any of the bind utilities (which has been mandated out by Information Security Department) these packages are no longer part of our standard build.
At the moment SF has to install the bind package (pkg:/network/dns/bind), then install SF and afterwards remove the bind package to comply with the security guidelines.
Resolution
CPI engineering has fixed the issue by removing the command "nslookup" from pre-installation command check-list.
The fix is available in the following CPI patch releases from SORT website:
CPI 6.0.1.300 (6.0.1 Hotfix 3) - https://sort.Veritas.com/patch/detail/7742
CPI 6.0.3.500 (6.0.3 Hotfix 5) - https://sort.Veritas.com/patch/detail/7743
Applies To
Applies to installation / upgrade to Storage Foundation (SF) stack of products in Solaris 11.
