HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.03.00 Release Notes

NOTE: The initial installation of a SG SMS Operating Environment bundle (T8684DB,
T8685DB, T8686DB, T8687DB, T8694DB, T8695DB, T8696DB, T8697DB) on a system
requires that the appropriate HP-UX OE (HAOE, or DCOE) is already installed on that system.
The HP-UX OE delivers the required version of Serviceguard, and ECMT. For details on
upgrading a SG SMS OE bundle, please read:“Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously”
(page 30)
Use the appropriate bundle product number in place of T27xxDB. This installation will reboot
the system once:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s <depot> T27xxDB
The default setting for installation of the bundle is “reinstall=false” which preserves any
existing installation of the same version of a product.
4. After installation of the software, and one reboot is completed, apply any required product
patches.
During the initial reboot and until all required patches are applied, various startup errors may
be reported.
a. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/SG SMS/patches, for patches required for the HP
Serviceguard Storage Management Suite version you are installing.
b. Follow any special instructions included with the patches.
c. Download the patches into a single file, extract the contents, and create a single depot
using the instructions included with the download.
d. Install the patches using the option “patch_match_target=true”.
This ensures that only the patches from the depot that match the installed bundle are
installed.
5. After installation of any required product patches is completed, run vxinstall.
If vxinstall has already been run on the systems, this step may be skipped.
This procedure completes initialization steps for:
— Veritas software prompting for Veritas licenses (use the default response - no)
— specification of a default disk group
— using enclosure-based naming
For information on vxinstall, see the Veritas 5.0 Installation Guide.
6. Verify a successful installation. Use the appropriate bundle product number in place of
T27xxDB, as follows: swverify T27xxDB
7. List components installed with: swlist -1 product
8. If you have additional nodes in the cluster, repeat all steps for each node in the cluster. For
rolling upgrades, each node can rejoin the cluster after being upgraded. For offline upgrades
and new installations, start the cluster after all nodes have been installed or upgraded.
