During upgrades from previous OEUR or AR releases, the previous HPvxvm and
HPvmsa products will be replaced by the above new products. Previous ELM licensing
keys will still work with the new SIG licensing package (that is, if a customer has
installed the VxVM full product on their December 2001 system and then upgrades to
3.5, they will not need to get new license keys to get the same full functionality).
With VxVM 3.5, changes have been made to Ignite-UX to support VxVM “rootability.”

Customers can select at installation time to have their root disk managed by VxVM.
(They do not have this option with Update-UX, however.)

updated for
December 2001
The Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX (swlist version B.03.20) is a new
version of the VERITAS Volume Manager and Cluster Volume Manager with enhanced
features that are currently only available on Solaris, but will soon be available on Linux
and AIX.
Similar to the Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX, this new version includes
the following add-on products:
• B9116AA: VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX provides a full set of enhanced
volume manager capabilities, including mirroring, RAID-5, and DMP for
active/active devices.
• B9117AA: VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 Cluster Volume Manager for HP-UX
provides enhanced volume manager functionality for clustered environments, and is
integrated with MC/ServiceGuard 11.13 and ServiceGuard OPS Edition 11.13. (The
Cluster Volume Manager for HP-UX requires that the VERITAS Volume Manager be
installed first.)
All the software for both the base and add-on products is included in the Base VxVM
product, but the enhanced features are unavailable without a license. When you
purchase an add-on product, you will get a license that enables the enhanced features.
What’s Changed
The Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX will be installed by default on all of
the Operating Environments in the December 2001 release. Customers who purchase
one of these OEs will no longer need to install Base VxVM. However, none of the VxVM
add-on products are available as part of any OEs.
