Ignite-UX Release Notes HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11iv2 and HP-UX 11iv3 (762792-001, March 2014)
Encrypted Volume and File System(EVFS) issue
Ignite-UX does not currently support Encrypted Volume and File System(EVFS). This means that
EVFS volumes can not be configured during cold-install and will not be preserved when using
make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery. Consult EVFS product documentation for
information on configuring and backing up EVFS volumes. Support for EVFS is planned for a future
release. Check future Ignite-UX release notes for more information; they will be updated to indicate
when EVFS support has been added and will detail any limitations.
Disk space issues using VxVM & hard drive models ST318203[FL]C
VxVM disk groups containing Seagate hard drive models ST318203[FL]C cannot create volumes
mapped to a single drive that 100% allocates that individual hard drive. The error message will
be similar to:
ERROR: CREATE_VOLUME: Not enough space on disk "c3t5d0" for volume
"myvol".
ERROR: CREATE_VOLUME: Need 13258328 K, 13257184 k available
The workaround is change the allocation of the volume causing the error to 'Fixed MB' and decrease
the allocation by the difference between the 'Need' & 'available' amounts reported in the error.
VxVM used for OS content with non-VxVM root volume install
If VxVM is not used for the root volume but other HP-UX OS content is installed to a VxVM volume,
the system may fail to correctly install and boot. An example of such a configuration would be
VxVM used for /opt or /usr and another volume manager used for the root volume. While
Ignite-UX can support this type of configuration, the resulting system may not operate correctly.
During system boot vxconfigd may not be started early enough and some VxVM OS content
may not be mounted as needed.
We recommend that only one volume manager type be used for all HP-UX OS content being
installed. Different volume manager types may be used for HP-UX OS content and application
data.
Support issue for B.11.11 installs
When B.11.11 is being installed using Ignite-UX version C.7.1 or later, the patch PHSS_22898
or a successor must be installed as part of the process. If the patch is not installed, and an archive
is installed after the HP-UX B.11.11 core operating system but before PHSS_22898 is loaded, you
will see the following messages on the console for each archive load:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol:
do_out__Q2_3std14codecvt_bynameXTwTcT9mbstate_t_CFR9mbstate_tPCwT2RPCwPcT
5RPc
(code) from /monitor_bpr
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol:
do_in__Q2_3std14codecvt_bynameXTwTcT9mbstate_t_CFR9mbstate_tPCcT2RPCcPwT5
RPw
(code) from /monitor_bpr
pax_iux:/tmp/ign_configure/archive_script[2]: 5308 Abort(coredump)
The archive will not be loaded successfully. You cannot load an archive when installing HP-UX
B.11.11 from a Software Distributor depot until after PHSS_22898 or successor has been installed.
If you encounter this problem you must use the load_order keyword to move the archive loads to
somewhere after PHSS_22898 has been loaded. For more information about the load_order
keyword, see instl_adm(4).
