Release Notes HP StorageWorks Secure Path 3.0F Service Pack 4 for HP-UX 11i v1.0 and 11i v2.0 (5697-8002, March 2009)

• Ensure that the port speeds for 2 GB or 4 GB Fibre Channel switches have been set correctly and
that they are not set to auto-negotiate.
• When creating snapshots or clones of a device that is managed by LVM, be sure to configure
LVM properly. After creating a snapshot or clone of a physical volume, always run vgchgid(1M)
to break the association between the volume group and the snapshot or clone. Otherwise, LVM
assumes that the snapshot or clone is an alternate path to the original physical volume. This could
lead to data corruption if the snapshot or clone was added later to the volume group using
vgextend(1M), vgimport(1M), or vgscan(1M).
• When replacing array controllers online, enable path verification to update controller IDs in Secure
Path data structures. If path verification is not enabled during controller replacement, use the sp-
mgr refreshdisplay command to update the serial numbers of the controller.
Problem with setboot command
The setboot command fails to set the alternate or high-availability hardware path on the HP-UX 11i
v1.0 and 11i v2.0 IA-64 platform for SAN boot disks on EVA Active-Passive disk arrays.
Follow the steps below to set the primary, alternate, and high-availability hardware paths from the
EFI shell, which requires a system reboot:
1. If Secure Path is not installed on your system, run ioscan –fneC disk and record the EFI path
and hardware path for each bootable device. If Secure Path is installed on your system, see
Determining the hardware path of active or standby path.
