The problem is that the SMISERVER process running on the remote node that reports the error does not have CMKRNL privilege. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SMISERVER.EXE 6 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721_MANAGE-V0100 KIT o The SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all nodes in a cluster that uses the same security environment. However, users have noticed that SYSMAN may use the authorization privileges from the UAF (use authorization file) instead of the locally set privileges on SOME nodes.

Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt This kit requires a system reboot. Compaq strongly recommends that a reboot is performed immediately after kit installation to avoid system instability If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation, 2001 All Rights Reserved.
