the the remaining nodes are online. Contact HP to determine if this procedure will work for a SG SMS upgrade you are planning. Other Supported Bundle Change and Installation Scenarios • • Installing HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC on top of Storage Management Suite bundle T2776BA is supported. Upgrading the previous version of Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle T2776BA plus Serviceguard Extension for RAC A.11.17 to Storage Management Suite bundle T2776CA plus Serviceguard Extension for RAC A.
NOTE: Before attempting a SG SMS bundle installation or upgrade, you must disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD. To disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD on all cluster nodes, access the/etc/rc.cofig.d/cmcluster file and set AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 0, (AUTO_START_CMCLD=0). To re-enable Automatic startup (AUTOSTART_CMCLD) after completing your SG SMS bundle installation or upgrade, set the flag AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 1 in the /etc/rc.config.
5. 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 5.0 Installation Guide. 6. 7. 8. 9. Verify a successful installation.

1. Serviceguard must be halted (not running) and the node must be removed from the cluster configuration before the swremove command is issued on that node. Use Serviceguard Manager or Serviceguard commands to halt the cluster and modify the configuration. Also modify the CVM/CFS storage and related package configuration as needed to fully remove the node from the cluster configuration. 2.
“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 ITRC. These patches are also available from your HP support representative.
Known Problems and Workarounds The following describes known problems with HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00 and workarounds for them. However, this is subject to change without notice. For the most current information contact your HP support representative or the Hewlett-Packard IT Resource Center for the latest information. Product Issues and Limitations The following describes known problems with products included with HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.
SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation Support Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) relies on SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation being supported on the storage. This is part of the Veritas split brain prevention. HP Serviceguard uses a different and more robust method to prevent split brain, there is no need for SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation on the storage.
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” (page 17) for more information on bundle upgrades. Oracle Data Manager (ODM) with VxFS and LVM • • What is the limitation? ODM for VxFS file systems on LVM volumes is not supported.
JAGag17495: fsclustadm cfsdeinit device busy, package halt timeout • • What is the problem? In some stress situations, during cmhaltcl, the package halt reaches time out. This causes the node to perform a transfer of control (TOC). This problem is caused by an error in the CFS shutdown process. Workaround? There is no workaround. The failing node should recover after the TOC.
JAGag45544: Open fails for the device /dev/vxfen, after removing and reinstalling a Serviceguard Cluster File System (SG CFS) bundle. • What is the problem? After removing a SG CFS bundle and later re-installing the same SG CFS bundle on the same system, the cfscluster config command fails to join the cluster and causes the node to TOC. The following error is reported in the SG CFS pkg.
Known Problems with Veritas File System 5.0 Administrator’s Guide Known problems include: • What is the problem? Page 33 “File system clustering requires other Veritas products”. What is the workaround? HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite environments requires HP Serviceguard for file system clustering. • What is the problem? Page 194 “Cluster file systems depend on several other Veritas products that must be correctly configured before a complete clustering environment is enabled.
• What is the problem? Pages 6, 15, 553 references “VVR”. What is the workaround? VVR is not available in HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00. • What is the problem? Page 130 under heading “Oracle 10g” contains incorrect file name. What is the workaround? Command line: “rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl” should be “rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm10.
