hpsmhd and oracle RAC & bonded ethernet devices

[Tait Sanders]

I've got Oracle RAC installed on 3* Proliant BLP20 G3 Blade servers with 4 nics. Bonding is installed and configured. ifconfig reports this:

bond0 192.168.1.1
eth0 10.129.5.31
eth1 192.168.1.1
eth2 10.129.2.22
eth2:1 10.129.2.25
eth3 192.168.1.1

After installing hpasm-7.4.0-56.rhel3.i386.rpm when I reboot hpsmhd fails to start.

/var/log/boot.log displays:
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 smhstart: (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 102.168.1.3:2381
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 smhstart: no listening sockets available, shutting down
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 smhstart: Unable to open logs
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 smhstart: No Connection to 127.0.0.1:2301
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 smhstart: sent /proxy/reconnect...counter=1, status=111
Dec 7 18:42:43 cispo3 hpsmhd: smhstart startup failed.

When I do /etc/init.d/hpsmhd start - I get the following error:
Starting hpsmhd:
...[Thu Dec 08 11:00:27 2005] [crit] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for 10..168.1.1
Syntax error on line 304 of /opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.conf:
Listen setup failed
[FAILED]

When I edit the /opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.conf file by taking out the entires for bond0, eth1, and eth3 and then execute /etc/init.d/hpsmhd start - I get the same error as above because hpsmhd adds the entries back in.

Has anyone found this problem with hpsmhd and bonded nics? And has a solution?
