“Incorrect protocol
version (20) in volboot
file” Warning
After you update to HP-UX 11i v2 from HP-UX 11i v1.6, the
following error message may appear during reboot:
Starting vxconfigd in boot mode (pre_init_rc).
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: volboot: Incorrect protocol
version (20) in volboot file.
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: volboot: Using the highest
supported protocol version 40
Checking root file system.
You encounter this error if you updated an HP-UX 11i v1.6
system with VxVM 3.1 as your volume manager to HP-UX 11i
v2 with VxVM 3.5. The problem is caused by different version
values in the volboot file (20 in VxVM 3.1; 40 in VxVM 3.5).
You can safely ignore this message.
