HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, April 2008

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.
NOTE: If there is a cluster configured on a node, the swremove command will not let you
remove SG SMS from that node. You must remove the node from the cluster, then use swremove
to remove SG SMS.
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, (AUTOSTART_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.d/cmcluster file (AUTOSTART_CMCLD=1)
For more information on AUTOSTART_CMCLD, see the Setting up Autostart Features and Performing
a Rolling Upgrade sections in Managing Serviceguard, Fifteenth Edition, available at http://docs.hp.com
> High Availability > Serviceguard.
NOTE: When attempting to upgrade a SG SMS version A.02.00 for HP-UX 11i v2 bundle that
contains the VRTSdbms3 package to a SG SMS version A.02.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 bundle, the
DBMS server cannot be started. See “QXCR1000756219: VRTSdbm3 Issue with SG SMS Upgrade”
(page 37) for a workaround.
Cluster Offline Upgrade Option
To upgrade a SG SMS CFS bundle (T2775xx, T2776xx, or T2777xx) there is a procedure that may
work with your configuration to minimize the time that the entire cluster is offline. This is
accomplished by performing an offline upgrade on half of the cluster nodes while 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
T2776CB 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 T2776CB
plus Serviceguard Extension for RAC A.11.18 is supported. Both the Storage Management
Suite bundle and Serviceguard Extension for RAC must be upgraded at the same time.
Unsupported Bundle Change and Installation Scenarios
• Installing Storage Management Suite on top of HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC is not
supported.
If you have the two as separate products, install the Storage Management Suite bundle
T2776CB first, then install HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC.
• Rolling upgrades of Storage Management Suite bundles, that include Veritas Cluster File
System (CFS), are not supported. You must halt all cluster nodes when upgrading to a new
SG SMS CFS version.
• 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, the installation will complete, but the Serviceguard
cluster will not start, or you will not be able to access the Veritas volumes. See “HP-UX
Operating Environment Upgrade Limitations” (page 35) for more information.
