Issue

We are in the process of upgrading the HP Proliant Support Pack (PSP) to v8.73 on all our systems. I have performed the update successfully on 3 systems in a MC-ServiceGuard cluster but the 4th node gives the following error:

PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE failed.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 x86_64
  • hpsum (32-bit) binary from HP Proliant Support Pack (PSP)  v8.6, v8.73, v8.9
  • This has also been observed whilst running the Radia Client installer
