HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.01.00 Release Notes
Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Chapter 1 35
HP-UX Operating Environment Upgrade Limitations
When you purchase an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite (SG
SMS) Operating Environment (OE) bundle, the SG SMS software is
provided on one DVD and the HP-UX OE (Mission Critical - MCOE, Data
Center - DCOE, or High Availability - HAOE) is provided on a separate
DVD.
The software provided on the SG SMS DVD relies on products and
filesets that are provided on the OE DVD, including HP Serviceguard
and the Veritas Storage Foundation products. Each SG SMS version
relies on specific versions of HP Serviceguard and the Veritas Storage
Foundation products that can change with new OE releases.
The software on the SG SMS DVD is installed using swinstall. If an
HP-UX OE is installed on your system and you attempt to install a SG
SMS version that is not supported with the versions of Serviceguard and
Veritas Storage Foundation included with the OE, swinstall will detect
the incompatible software and the installation will fail.
The software on the OE DVD is installed using update-ux. If a SG SMS
bundle is installed on your system and you attempt to install or upgrade
to an OE version that includes Serviceguard and Veritas Storage
Foundation versions that are not supported with the SG SMS bundle,
update-ux will not detect the incompatible software. The installation
will complete, but the Serviceguard cluster will not start, or you will not
be able to access the Veritas volumes. update-ux does not check for
software dependencies.
See “Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements” on
page 20 for more information on bundle upgrades.
Oracle Data Manager Limitation for Bundles T2776BA, T2796BA,

• What is the limitation? Single instance Oracle databases are not
permitted outside of Serviceguard packages in environments using
T2776BA, T2796BA, T2777BA, and T2797BA. If there are any Oracle
instances not controlled by Serviceguard packages, a halt of the
system multi-node package SG-CFS-pkg could bring down the node
or cluster.
