Installation
The following are known installation issues:
| Bug ID | Description | Workaround |

| 6664051 | Incorrect file permission for jssecacerts after the satellite fresh install | Set 'umask 0022' prior to installing satellites |
| 6664928 | When the satellite and proxy software is installed on operating environments that do not meet the requirements, the installation does not clearly state the missing packages. | A partial list of required packages is SUNWgcc, SUNWgccruntime, SUNW,apchr, SUNWapch2s, SUNWapch2d, SUNWapch2u, SUNWant, SUNWgetr, SUNWgetu, and SUNWperl-xml-parser. |
General
The following are known issues:
| Bug ID | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| 6627700 | Stopping a proxy using the proxyadm stop command causes the satellite services on the same host to be restarted. | Wait for the satellite to restart after running proxyadm stop. |
| 6656276 | proxyadm stop -w times out because all proxy processes have not exited. | Run svcs -pv svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:scn-proxy to see the processes associated with the proxy. If there is no java process, but a dsvclockd or an rsshcmd process is shown, then kill the process and the proxy will be completely shut down. |
| 6682479 | If a task within a job fails and the policy is to fail the job, the subsequent tasks still attempt to run and the job status is displayed as Running. | |
| 6658577 | Proxy instances are shown as online even when they've died. The proxy java instance may die, particularly when running on a system with inadequate resources. | Run svcs -pv svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:scn-proxy to see the processes associated with the proxy. If there is no java process, but a dsvclockd or an rsshcmd process is shown, then kill the process and the proxy will restart. |
| 6657424 | Modifying roles for more than one channel simultaneously causes an Internal server error message to appear in the browser user interface. | To verify that the desired changes were applied, use the "user" drop-down menu to select a different user, then switch back to the first user and review the settings. |
| 6658616 | xVM Ops Center management operations on the satellite server and operating system cause problems. | Do not use xVM Ops Center to perform management operations on the server that runs the xVM Ops Center satellite. Do not enable update channel for the operating system hosting the xVM Ops Center satellite. |
| 6655479 | Agent configuration may fail as part of enabling channels or OS provisioning. | One the managed system, run the agentadm unconfigure followed by agentadm configure commands to retry the configuration. |
| 6664997 | Local/embedded proxy controller does not properly start upon Satellite server boot | |
| 6662780 | Satellite and Proxy instances should not be enabled for the Update and Management Modules | |

| 6658370 | Baseline Analysis Reports from DB does not work with group targets. | Select the individual targets in the group, add them individually to the target selection, and then run the report. |
| 6644883 | Profiles allow the selection of a specific RPM or PKG LEAF for uninstall, which is not supported. | Do not select specific RPS or PKG LEAF elements for uninstall, instead select the parent note of the group of PKG/RPM revisions. |
