HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.01.00 Release Notes
Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Chapter 1 27
Installation steps should be performed in the following order:
1. Install HP-UX 11i v2 or appropriate Operating Environment. HP-UX
11i v2 Update 2 (with any required patches) is required for loading
an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite. Installation of
T279xBA products require the installation of an HP-UX 11i v2
Mission Critical Operating Environment (MCOE) containing
Serviceguard version A.11.17 such as MCOE December 2005.
If the system has base VERITAS Volume Manager version 3.5
already installed, the installation process will overwrite that version
of the product. If any version of VERITAS Cluster Volume Manager
(CVM) is installed, it must be removed before an HP Serviceguard
Storage Management Suite bundle can be installed.
2. Install the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle from
the HP-UX Application Software media. Use the appropriate bundle
product number in place of T27xxBA. This installation will reboot
the system once:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s <depot> T27xxBA
The default setting for installation of the bundle is
“reinstall=false” this will preserve any existing installation of the
same version of a product.
3. After installation of software and one reboot is completed apply any
required product patches. During this initial reboot and until all
required patches are applied, various startup errors may be reported.
Patches required for use of the Serviceguard Storage Management
Suite are available from http://www.hp.com/go/sgsms/patches.
Follow any special instructions included with the patches. Download
the patches into a single file, extract the contents, and create a single
depot using instructions included with the download. Install the
patches using the option “patch_match_target=true”. This will
install only the patches from the depot that match the installed
bundle.
4. After installation of any required product patches is completed run
vxinstall. If vxinstall has already been run on these systems,
this step may be skipped. This procedure completes initialization
steps for the VERITAS software prompting for VERITAS licenses
(use default response - no), specification of default disk group, and
the use enclosure-based naming. For details on vxinstall, refer to
VERITAS 4.1 Installation Guide.
