Environment

Issue applies to Redhat/Centos 7.x

Issue could be seen after upgrading from any version of PM to 22.2.7.

Cause

PM 22.2.7 is now using setpriv instead of runuser for a non-root setup (using sudo)

Under RHEL 7.x (and analogs), the syntax for setpriv needs to be adjusted appropriately.

Resolution

On the DA do the following:

1. Update /opt/IMDataAggregator/scripts/dadaemon

2. Change:

setpriv --reuid "${dauser}" --regid=$(id "${dauser}" -g) --init-groups ${KARAF_HOME}/bin/start
to:
setpriv --reuid=$(id "${dauser}" -u) --regid=$(id "${dauser}" -g) --keep-groups ${KARAF_HOME}/bin/start

setpriv --reuid "${dauser}" --regid=$(id "${dauser}" -g) --init-groups ${KARAF_HOME}/bin/stop
to:
setpriv --reuid=$(id "${dauser}" -u) --regid=$(id "${dauser}" -g) --keep-groups ${KARAF_HOME}/bin/stop

 

On the DC do the following:

1. Update /opt/IMDataCollector/scripts/dcmd

2. Change

setpriv --reuid "${DCM_USER}" --regid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -g) --init-groups $rootInstance/bin/start
to:
setpriv --reuid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -u) --regid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -g) --keep-groups $rootInstance/bin/start

setpriv --reuid "${DCM_USER}" --regid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -g) --init-groups $rootInstance/bin/stop
to:
setpriv --reuid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -u) --regid=$(id "${DCM_USER}" -g) --keep-groups $rootInstance/bin/stop

 

The DA and DC(s) should now start and stop correctly.
