2 Choosing a Migration Path This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you decide the most appropriate method to migrate your system to HP-UX 11i v2.
Choosing a Migration Path If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v2 System If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v2 System If your system is already running HP-UX 11i v2, you may only need to install one or more patch bundles to bring your system up-to-date or to enable new hardware. Check the following references: 32 • “Keeping Up to Date with the Latest Critical Patches” on page 126 • http://itrc.hp.com • http://software.hp.
Choosing a Migration Path Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases You can cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 and its accompanying operating environment on any supported system listed in “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56. You can also choose to update to HP-UX 11i v2 from any of the supported paths listed in Table 2-1. Updating from any other release directly to HP-UX 11i v2 is not supported.
Choosing a Migration Path Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 IMPORTANT Update is only supported on HP Servers (see “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56 for a list of supported servers). The following table details the supported update migration paths: Table 2-1 OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 To the following HP-UX 11i v2.0 OS/OEa From Current Configuration HP-UX 11i v1.

Contents of the HP-UX operating environments are listed in Appendix D, “Software Distribution Media,” on page 161. Update Path Notes • If you are planning to update to a higher level server operating environment from a current HP-UX 11i v1.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Deciding Which Method to Use Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any additionally needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2 on your system. Cold-installing using Ignite-UX — This method overwrites everything on the target disk. Use cold-install for new systems and on existing systems when overwriting the root (/) volume will not cause loss of applications or data.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use • Your system configuration is not listed as a supported update path (see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 34). • You are migrating an HP Workstation to HP-UX 11i v2. You can cold-install from any supported configuration (see “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56). See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for more information about preparing your system for cold-install.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system (see “HP-UX 11i v2 Always-Installed Network & Mass Storage Drivers” on page 174). This can easily be done during the cold-install or update by following the instructions in “Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2” on page 83.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Alternate Cold-Install Methods In addition to the procedures described in this chapter, you can cold-install your system using the following methods: • Install from Software Depots Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Update Considerations HP Service Partition Is Not Created During Update If you are updating from a supported update path (see “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 34), HP Service Partition will not be created or modified. OnlineDiag will continue to work properly. Offline Diagnostics, however, will work with reduced functionality. In order to have full Offline Diagnostics functionality, you must: 1. Update your system. 2.

Choosing a Migration Path Install-time Security Considerations Install-time Security Considerations Beginning with HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX Bastille (B6849AA) is included as default-installed software on the Operating Environment media and can be installed with Ignite-UX or Update-UX. HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/lockdown tool that can be used to enhance security of the HP-UX operating system.
Choosing a Migration Path Install-time Security Considerations Security Choice Dependencies The Sec00Tools security infrastructure bundle is default-installed on your system. While this bundle does not implement any security changes at install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (see Figure 2-1) is installed. By installing Sec00Tools, you can opt to run HP-UX Bastille at a later time to lock down your system.
Choosing a Migration Path Install-time Security Considerations Secured Services and Protocols Each security configuration bundle provides incrementally higher security by locking down various protocols and services. HP-UX Bastille uses a series of questions to determine which services and protocols to secure. Using one of the Install-time Security Configuration bundles applies a default security profile, simplifying the lockdown process.

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Update Tasks Update Tasks Prior to updating to HP-UX 11i v2, you should perform these tasks: • Recording Software Versions • Rebuilding the Kernel • Cleaning Out Your Log Files Recording Software Versions To identify what software still needs updating after the OS update, print a swlist listing of all products and bundles prior to the update. For example, enter: /usr/sbin/swlist | lp Then compare it with a similar swlist executed after the update.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating Your Ignite-UX Server Updating Your Ignite-UX Server The HP-UX 11i v2 DVD contains the complete Ignite-UX product. When you cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 from the media, a subset of Ignite-UX is used to perform the installation on a single system. If you plan to update an existing Ignite-UX server to install HP-UX 11i v2 on more than one system in your network, then you should update your Ignite-UX server first.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Selecting Your HP-UX Console Selecting Your HP-UX Console HP-UX requires that you select the correct console via a firmware selection menu. If you have ordered a machine with HP-UX pre-installed, your console selections will be correctly chosen for you. If you are already on the system console, then you can skip this section. However, if you are cold-installing HP-UX, or change your system configuration, you may need to select the correct console.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Selecting Your HP-UX Console 2. Choose “Select Active Console Output Devices”: EFI Boot Maintenance Manager ver 1.10 [14.57] Main Menu.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Selecting Your HP-UX Console Interface Differences between Itanium-based Systems Each Itanium-based system has a similar interface with minor differences. You can navigate these menus with the arrow keys or “v” and “^” keys to move around, and use the enter or space key to select and deselect devices. Selected devices have an asterisk (“*”) next to them. After making your changes to this menu, choose Save Settings to NVRAM and then Exit.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Selecting Your HP-UX Console Follow all the substeps in Step 2 of “Selecting Your HP-UX Console” on page 66 to correctly select your console input device. For input devices, a device that has a Pci section in its path, but does not have a Uart section will be a USB keyboard device. Step 3. Choose Select Active Standard Error Devices. Step 4. Choose the correct standard error device and deselect others.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 About Online Diagnostics About Online Diagnostics HP-UX 11i v2 automatically installs diagnostics on all systems to provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the OnlineDiag bundle, give you a complete solution to verify, troubleshoot, and monitor Itanium-based system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, mass storage and other devices.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 About Online Diagnostics About Offline Diagnostics Offline Diagnostics (ODE) are on the HP Itanium-Processor Family Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. The CD is delivered with the hardware and is non-OS dependent (it is not delivered with the HP-UX 11i v2 media kit). HP highly recommends that you get the latest CD and update the Offline Diagnostics for improved functionality.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Backing Up Your System Backing Up Your System In addition to your normal, periodic system backup procedures, you should create a network backup of your root volume group (see Chapter 5, “Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 79). Do this first before performing a cold-install, and again after the cold-install. If a problem occurs, it’s a very simple procedure to restore the system to its original state.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Backing Up Your System The contents of the system recovery archive always includes all files and directories which are essential to bringing up a functional system. This “essential” list is pre-defined by make_net_recovery. You can run make_net_recovery in its interactive mode to review the directories and files which make up the “essential list,” and also add or remove other data from the archive on a disk/volume group, file, or directory basis.
Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2 Backing Up Your System For more information on using make_tape_recovery, see the make_tape_recovery (1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

Known Problems and Troubleshooting Character-code Handling with Perl Character-code Handling with Perl Although Perl 5.6.1 does not directly support wide characters, its experimental support of Unicode may be a suitable solution. JPerl 5.005_003 is another solution to handle Japanese multi-byte characters albeit by an older version of Perl. What to Do Get the patch jperl5.005_03 and apply it to Perl. This patch is open source and available at a number of non-HP FTP sites. Follow these steps: Step 1.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 C Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vx_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Introduction Introduction VxFS 3.5 resorts to caching objects in memory as a way to improve performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set of tunables.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Controlling the inode Cache Controlling the inode Cache As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help file systems perform better for file/web server loads. The global (static) tunable vx_ninode represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS inode cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Controlling the Buffer Cache Controlling the Buffer Cache VxFS 3.5 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but grow and shrink during system usage, depending on the load on the file system. The global (static) tunable vx_bc_bufhwm represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Conclusion Conclusion VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that result in improved file system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the auto-tuned values are not optimal, you are provided with the ability to set these tunables.
