Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.5 is not supported on HP-UX 11i v3.
If you are running VxVM 3.5 as part of HP-UX (VxVM-Base), version 3.5
will be upgraded to version 4.1 when you upgrade to HP-UX 11i v3.
About Multipathing
Multipathing is automatically configured in HP-UX 11i v3 (this is often
called native multipathing), or in some cases can be configured with
third-party software such as EMC Powerpath.
NOTE 4.1 and later versions of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and Dynamic
Multipathing (DMP) from Symantec are supported on HP-UX 11i v3, but
do not provide multipathing and load balancing; DMP acts as a
pass-through driver, allowing multipathing and load balancing to be
controlled by the HP-UX I/O subsystem instead.
For more information about multipathing in HP-UX 11i v3, see the white
paper HP-UX 11i v3 Native Multipathing for Mass Storage, and the
Logical Volume Management volume of the HP-UX System
Administrator’s Guide in the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments
collection at http://docs.hp.com. See also, About Device File Names
(Device Special Files)” on page 57.
