Veritas Cluster File System (CFS) or Veritas Cluster Volume

install or upgrade to an OE version that includes Serviceguard and
Veritas Storage Foundation versions that are not supported with the
SG SMS bundle, the installation will complete, but the Serviceguard
cluster will not start, or you will not be able to access the Veritas
volumes. See “HP-UX Operating Environment Upgrade Limitations”
