NOTE: • If you are upgrading from any SG SMS version before A.02.01 or A.02.01.01 to A.03.01 or later, only offline upgrade is supported. • If a newly installed bundle includes the same version of a product that was previously installed and patched, the patches may need to be installed again. • If there is a cluster configured on a node, the swremove command will not let you remove SG SMS from that node. You must halt the node, remove the node from the cluster, and then use swremove to remove SG SMS.
remaining, larger group of nodes to Group B. For example, if the cluster contains 9 nodes, assign (9 - 1)/2 = 4 nodes to Group A, and assign the remaining 5 nodes to Group B. We will use a 3 node cluster as an example for explaining this offline upgrade procedure. For a 3 node cluster, Group A will contain Node 1, and Group B will contain Node 2 and Node 3. NOTE: Steps 1, and 2 in this procedure can be performed on multiple nodes in parallel, or on one node at a time, before continuing to step 3. 1. 2. 3.
NOTE: • With Veritas Version 5.1 SP1 the Enclosure Based Naming (EBN) feature is turned on by default. While cloning a disk when EBN is on, messages similar to the following may appear: WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_7" in inventory WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_8" in inventory WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_9" in inventory These messages can be safely ignored.
Installing HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite To install software, run the SD-UX swinstall command. It will invoke a user interface that will lead you through the installation. For additional information and tips on installing HP-UX and HP applications see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Installation and Update Guide available at: http:// www.hp.
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 Storage Foundation™ and High Availability Installation Guide, HP–UX 11i v3, 5.1 Service Pack 1. 6. 7. 8. 30 Verify a successful installation.
9. For new installations you will need to create an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite cluster, see Managing Serviceguard 19th Edition for details on configuring the cluster. A high-level summary of the steps involved in using the Cluster File System includes: a. Create and start a Serviceguard cluster without a package using Serviceguard Manager or Serviceguard commands (cmquerycl, cmcheckconf, cmapplyconf, cmruncl). b.

Updating HP-UX and SG SMS When new HP-UX and SG SMS versions have to be installed, careful planning is required: • When the new SG SMS bundle version is only supported with the new HP-UX version, or the new HP-UX version is only supported with the new SG SMS bundle version, the update must be performed simultaneously, as described in:“Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously” (page 33) • When both the currently installed versions of SG SMS and HP-UX, and the new versions of SG SMS and HP-UX that you plan
the depot when it is first created, but it is harmless to register it again just to be sure it is visible to other systems. To do this, enter: swreg -l depot @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot NOTE: HP-UX 11i v3 and an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite for HP-UX 11i v3 non-CFS bundle (T2774EB, T8684EB, or T8694EB) can be installed on each node as part of a rolling upgrade. See “Upgrading to a Different SG SMS Bundle” (page 22) for more information on rolling upgrades.
VRTSvxvm.VXVM-RUN,r=3.5~IA.014 - VRTSvxvm,r=4.1.032 replaces VRTSvxvm,r=3.5~IA.014 This message can be safely ignored when it refers only to one or more VRTS products. If this message is displayed in the update-ux interactive TUI (Terminal User Interface), simply press enter when prompted to do so, and continue with the update. For rolling upgrades, after installing HP-UX 11i v3 and a SG SMS bundle on a node, the node will rejoin the cluster automatically.
Removing HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite The SD-UX swremove command is used to uninstall the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite software. The swremove command must be issued on one system at a time. NOTE: Before attempting to remove a SG SMS bundle: — Follow any guidelines for software removal of the individual products included in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle. In general, products should be halted and unconfigured before removal.
Download the patches into a single depot and install using the option “patch_match_target=true”. This will install only the patches from the depot that match the installed bundle. Follow any special instructions included with the patches. Access to these patches requires a valid support contract and login to the HPSC. You can also search for individual patches on the Hewlett-Packard Support Center (HPSC) web site: www.hp.

Apply the ascii configuration file using the cmapplyconf command: cmapplyconf -P 13. Run the package on the newly added node using the cmrunpkg command: cmrunpkg -n node3 14. Run the cmviewcl -v -p command to check the status of the package. 15.
3. 4. Also, ensure that the new node is connected to the same heartbeat networks as other cluster nodes. Run the vxinstall command to complete the configuration of VxVM (unless this has already been done). Create a cluster configuration file to include the new node using the cmqueryclcommand: cmquerycl –C –n -n . NOTE: You can also use the cmgetconf command to get the cluster configuration file and then add the new node details to the configuration file. 5. 6.
15. Extend the Oracle Clusterware software to the new node. For more information on extending the Oracle Clusterware software, see the Oracle Database documentation. 16. If an Oracle Clusterware Multinode package (OC-MNP) is not configured then this step should be skipped or you can edit the OC-MNP configuration file to include the details for the new node. For more information on configuring an OC-MNP package, see Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC (p/n T1859-90060). 17.
9. Delete a node from a Mount Point (MP) package using the cfsmntadm modify delete command. If you are using Improved CFS Mount Point and Disk Group Integration, follow these steps to delete the node from the Modular Disk Group and Mount Point Packages: a. Edit the package configuration file and remove the node that is being deleted: b.
Dirty Region Logging (DRL) for Mirrored Volumes If a system failure occurs while mirrored volumes are in use, the mirrors will recover and clean up any writes that were in progress when the system failed. The Dirty Region Logging (DRL) feature tracks writes that are in progress to reduce the recovery effort after a system failure. Without DRL, the entire volume must be recovered, because there is no way to determine which blocks had writes in progress at the time of the system failure.
