• The SG SMS version identifier, and dependencies (HP-UX version, Serviceguard version,
Veritas™ Storage Foundation version), are listed at the top of the column for each SG SMS
version - followed by the bundles (alpha-numeric identifier) that are available within that
SGSMS version.
• The different SG SMS bundle “families” are listed in horizontal rows, where the numerical
portion of the bundle identifier remains constant across SG SMS bundle versions.
• You can do rolling upgrades of most SG SMS bundles within the same bundle family
(indicated by the letter “R”) for bundles that do not include Veritas™ CVM.
• Upgrade paths that require an Offline Upgrade, are indicated by the letter “O”.
• “Skipping ahead” within the same bundle family, for example upgrading from a SG SMS
version A.01.00 T2771BA bundle to a SG SMS version A.02.00 T2771CA bundle, is supported.
Performing a rolling upgrade to skip ahead is supported only if all of the upgrade paths
between the two bundles also support rolling upgrades.
• Upgrade paths that are not listed in Table 1-3 will require an uninstall of the SG SMS bundle,
before a different SG SMS bundle can be installed and configured.
NOTE: Table 1-3 is current as of the publication date of these Release Notes. If there is more
recent information on supported bundle upgrade paths, it will be in the HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite Bundles - Supported Upgrade Paths Matrix available in the Support Matrixes section

NOTE: 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.
Cluster Offline Upgrade Option
To upgrade a SG SMS CFS/CVM bundle (T2774xx, T2775xx, T2776xx, or T2777xx) there is a

offline. This is accomplished by performing an offline upgrade on half of the cluster nodes while
