1 HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes Announcements The HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite (SG SMS) bundles integrate HP Serviceguard (SG) with the Veritas Storage Foundation™ by Symantec (SF). This combination provides powerful database and storage management capabilities while maintaining the mission-critical reliability HP Serviceguard customers have come to expect.

NOTE: If HP-UX native multipathing is configured instead of Veritas DMP (Dymanic Multipathing) with VxVM or CVM disk groups on HP-UX 11i v3, data corruption may occur. Since DMP is enabled by default for all VxVM and CVM disk groups, no additional configuration is required to enable DMP, and HP-UX native multipathing will be ignored by VxVM and CVM disk groups. If patches PHCO_38235, PHKL_38236, PHKL_38241, and PHKL_38260 are installed, HP-UX native multipathing is supported with VxVM only.

subsequent CFS command operations on the file system or the Serviceguard packages. Use of HP-UX mount commands will not create an appropriate multi-node package, which means cluster packages will not be aware of file system changes. Instead, use the CFS commands cfsmount or cfsumount. Guidelines for CFS Nested Mounts A maximum of four levels of nesting is supported with CFS nested mounts. VxFS, Check Point (ckpt), and snapshot cluster file systems are supported with CFS nested mounts.
1. Disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD in /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster on node2: In /etc/rc.cofig.d/cmcluster, set AUTO_START_CMCLD=0 2. Halt node2: cmhaltnode -f node2 3. Delete node2 from all of the application packages. Edit all application package ASCII files and remove node2 from the package configuration. Re-apply the package configuration: cmapplyconf –f –P app-pkg-ascii-file 4.
Dirty Region Logging (DRL) for Mirrored Volumes If a system failure occurs while mirrored volumes are in use, the mirrors will recover and clean up any writes that were in progress when the system failed. The Dirty Region Logging (DRL) feature tracks writes that are in progress to reduce the recovery effort after a system failure. Without DRL, the entire volume must be recovered, because there is no way to determine which blocks had writes in progress at the time of the system failure.
QXCR1000819271: VxVM commands are hanging in EDC testing • • What is the problem? In an Extended Distance Cluster (EDC) configuration that has separate heartbeat and FibreChannel links, when the FibreChannel link between the two sites is disconnected and then reconnected a few minutes after a FiberChannel failure is detected, VxVM commands such as vxprint, vxdg, vxdisk, and vxdmpadm will hang when they are executed on the master and slave nodes of a CFS cluster.
