HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.01 for HP-UX 11iv3 Release Notes, Edition 2 (May 2010)
Upgrading a SG SMS OE Bundle - Independent from an HP-UX Update
If the new SG SMS OE bundle version requires new versions of Serviceguard and ECMT, the
Serviceguard and ECMT versions must be updated together with the SG SMS OE bundle upgrade
(Table 1-6 (page 32) for details). To achieve this, you must build a common installation depot
by copying the relevant software components from SG SMS OE bundle media and copying the
required Serviceguard and ECMT versions from the HP-UX OE media. A single swinstall
command is used for the installation.
For the HP-UX update, Serviceguard and ECMT are excluded from the update when you run
the update-ux command. General information about updating to HP-UX 11i v3 with update-ux,
is available at:http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Installing%20and%20Updating
Building a Common Depot for the Installation:
The tasks in the following example are performed on a depot server named: sw-depot.hp.com
1. Copy the SG SMS product (for example, T8684CB) and the required VxVM and VxFS software
from the SG SMS version A.02.01 media (mounted at /mnt/SMS.depot) to the installation
depot (/mnt/install.depot) residing on the depot server:
$ swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false –s /mnt/SMS.depot\
Base-VxFS-50 Base-VxVM-50 Base-VxTools-50\ VxFS-SDK-50 T2795CA @\
/mnt/install.depot
2. Copy Serviceguard (T1905CA ) and ECMT (T1909BA) from the HP-UX OE (DCOE or HAOE)
DVD (mounted at /mnt/HP-UX.depot) to the installation depot (/mnt/install.depot):
$ swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false –s /mnt/HP-UX.depot T1905CA\
T1909BA @ /mnt/install.depot
Performing the Update:
1. Shutdown the cluster, or shutdown an individual node (depending on if you are doing an
offline or a rolling upgrade).
2. Install the software from the installation depot on all cluster nodes (in parallel for offline
upgrades, or one node at a time for rolling upgrades) running the following command on
each cluster node:
$ swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s sw-depot.hp.com:/mnt/install.depot\
Base-VxFS-50 Base-VxVM-50\ Base-VxTools-50 VxFS-SDK-50 T1905CA\
T1909BA T2795CA
3. After the software has been successfully installed on all of the cluster nodes:
• • If an offline upgrade was performed, the cluster can be restarted.
• • If a rolling upgrade was performed, each upgraded node can rejoin the cluster as
soon the upgrade is completed.
See Table 1-5 (page 26) for upgrade paths that support rolling or offline upgrades.
Removing HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
The SD-UX swremove command is used to uninstall the HP Serviceguard Storage Management
Suite software. The swremove command must be issued on one system at a time.
