Updating HP-UX and SG SMS

When new HP-UX and SG SMS versions have to be installed, careful planning is required:

• When the new SG SMS bundle version is only supported with the new HP-UX version, or the

new HP-UX version is only supported with the new SG SMS bundle version, the update must

be performed simultaneously, as described in:“Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously”

(page 33)

• When both the currently installed versions of SG SMS and HP-UX, and the new versions of

SG SMS and HP-UX that you plan to install are supported with each other, HP-UX and SG

SMS can be installed independently.

◦ The process is straight forward for non-OE SG SMS bundles. Follow the steps in “Installing

HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite” (page 29) for a SG SMS installation from

the SG SMS media (DVD). Then the HP-UX update can be done independently using the

HP-UX installation media (DVD).

◦ For SG SMS Operating Environment (OE) bundle upgrades, additional planning is

necessary. The SG SMS software provided on the SG SMS DVD relies on products and

filesets that are provided on the HP-UX OE (HA-OE, or DC-OE) DVD. If the new SG SMS

OE bundle version requires new versions of Serviceguard and ECMT that are delivered

on the HP-UX OE media, Serviceguard and ECMT must be updated together with the SG

SMS OE bundle upgrade (not with the HP-UX update). For the HP-UX update, Serviceguard

and ECMT are excluded from the update when you run the update-ux command. For

the SG SMS OE bundle upgrade, the appropriate (supported) versions of Serviceguard

and ECMT must be added to the software depot that the SG SMS OE bundle will be

upgraded from. See “Upgrading a SG SMS OE Bundle - Independent from an HP-UX

Update ” (page 36) for more information.

Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously

This section describes the process for updating the HP-UX version and the HP Serviceguard Storage

Management Suite Operating Environment (OE) bundle version in one step using update-ux.

This procedure is necessary when an upgrade to a new SG SMS OE bundle depends on a later

Serviceguard version than the one that is currently installed.
