Support for Veritas 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3
Serviceguard A.11.18 supports Veritas VxVM, CVM and CFS 5.0 from Symantec, on
both HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3, with the following exception:
• With the patches listed under “September 2008 Patch” (page 13), Serviceguard
supports a maximum of eight nodes for CVM and CFS per site, up to a maximum
of sixteen nodes across two sites.
Serviceguard sites can be configured (via the SITE_NAME and SITE parameters)
only in a site-aware disaster-tolerant cluster, which requires additional software;
see the documents listed under “About Cross-Subnet Configurations” (page 40)
for more information.
If you are not configuring a site-aware disaster-tolerant cluster, you can configure
a maximum of eight CVM/CFS nodes per Serviceguard cluster.
With the patches listed under “September 2008 Patch” (page 13), and with the additional
patch PHSS_38399 (11i v2) or PHSS_38400 (11i v3) for CFS, HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite Version A.02.00 bundles that include CFS support CFS 5.0 nested
mounts, up to a maximum of four levels of nesting.
The patches enable this feature by default; to disable it, add the following line to /etc/
cmcluster.conf:
SGCFS_NESTED_MOUNT_SUPPORT=disabled
