Solving Problems with Mixed-case Node
Names
Unlike the name service, the OVO database is case-sensitive. As a result,
the OVO database may not be able to find a node if the name service
returns a different case for the same node.
To avoid this problem, OVO lets you convert the node name that is
returned by the name service to lower case. This conversion ensures that
only lower case node names are used within OVO. The conversion does
not change the case of non-IP nodes because they cannot be resolved by
the name service.
To enable the lowercase conversion, follow these steps:
1. Stop the OVO GUIs and the server processes.
2. Use the command-line tool ovconfchg on the OVO management
server. Enter the following:
ovconfchg -ovrg -ns opc -set \
OPC_USE_LOWERCASE TRUE
Where is the name of the management
server resource group.
3. Convert the node names of IP nodes in the OVO database to lower
case:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcdbidx -lower
For more information, see the man page opcdbidx(1M).
4. Restart the OVO server processes and the GUIs.
