• This release of Serviceguard requires HP-UX 11i v3. For information
about HP-UX upgrade paths, see the HP-UX Installation and
Upgrade Guide for HP-UX 11i v3 at http://www.docs.hp.com ->

Veritas Storage Management Products
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. For
more information about installing and updating VxVM, see the Veritas
4.1 Installation Guide at http://www.docs.hp.com -> 11i v3 ->
VxVM.
NOTE There is a new default Disk Layout Version for VxVM 4.1, and not all
earlier Disk Layout versions are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. See the
Veritas 4.1 Installation Guide for details.
IMPORTANT Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) and Cluster File System (CFS)
are not yet supported on HP-UX 11i v3. If you are currently running
CVM or CFS, do not upgrade to Serviceguard 11.17 on 11i v3 until
support for these Veritas products is available.
Rolling Upgrade
In some cases you can upgrade Serviceguard and HP-UX without
bringing down the cluster; you do this by upgrading one node at a time,
while that node’s applications are running on an alternate node. The
process is referred to as a rolling upgrade, and is described in
Appendix E of the Managing Serviceguard manual.
Requirements for Rolling Upgrade Rolling upgrade to Serviceguard
A.11.17 on HP-UX 11i v3 is supported only if you are upgrading from:
• Serviceguard A.11.15 or greater on HP Integrity systems running
HP-UX 11i v2; or
• Serviceguard A.11.16 or greater on HP 9000 systems running HP-UX
