HP Serviceguard Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009

IMPORTANT: Upgrades from earlier releases via DRD are not currently
supported.
DRD upgrades to version A.11.19 require that you make a manual fix to a
checkinstall script in the software depot.
— You need to make this fix if:
◦ you are using drd runcmd update-ux to upgrade to Serviceguard
A.11.19; OR
◦ you are using drd runcmd swinstall to upgrade to Serviceguard
A.11.19.
— You do not need to make this fix if you are simply using drd runcmd
swinstall to upgrade from one revision of Serviceguard A.11.19 to a later
revision.
For example, if you use drd runcmd swinstall to upgrade from the base
version of A.11.19 to the October 2009 Patches (page 11), you do not need to
make the fix.
For instructions on making the fix, see the Workaround Notes for defect
QXCR1000901306 at ITRC.hp.com; see “Fixed in This Version” (page 69) for
more information about looking up defects.
• As of the date of these release notes, DRD upgrade is supported for clusters that
use the LVM or VxVM volume manager.
IMPORTANT: See the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.03.00 Release
Notes for information about DRD upgrades in CVM/CFS environments.
• Use the DRD software released with the September 2009 release of HP-UX 11i
v3.
You do not have to upgrade the operating system itself to the September 2009
release, so long as you are running 11i v3. You can obtain the DRD software free
from HP (see “Upgrade Using DRD” above.)
• Serviceguard does not support booting from a clone disk made on another system
(sometimes referred to as DRD re-hosting).
• The cluster must meet both general and release-specific requirements for a rolling
or non-rolling upgrade; see the remainder of this section and the sections
“Guidelines for Rolling Upgrade” and “Guidelines for Non-Rolling Upgrade” in
Appendix D of the latest edition of Managing Serviceguard.
• You must follow the instructions for DRD upgrades in Managing Serviceguard; see
“Performing a Rolling Upgrade Using DRD” or “Performing a Non-Rolling
Upgrade Using DRD” in Appendix D of the latest edition of that manual.
