HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

Table A-1 Known Install and Update Problems (continued)
Description/ActionProblem
The HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 release includes the option to
tune the system base page size to values larger than its 4 KB default.
Integrity Virtual Machines always uses this feature to tune the system
base page size in the Platform Manager to 64 KB. HFS filesystems
will fail to mount when the filesystem block size is less than the
system base page size.
What To Do
If you are performing an update, and plan to use a non-default base
page size. Replace each HFS filesystem with a VxFS filesystem. For
each existing HFS filesystem, create a new VxFS filesystem and copy
the contents of the HFS filesystem to the VxFS filesystem. HP does
not recommend using HFS filesystems on systems where the base
page size will be tuned to a non-default value. While HFS filesystems
can be configured to work in this environment, VxFS administration
is much simpler than HFS administration with non-default base page
sizes.
During a cold-install, configure all physical filesystems as VxFS
filesystems.
For information about the new tunable that controls the size of a
system base page, see “Tunable Base Page Size” in the HP-UX 11i
Version 3 September 2008 Release Notes (http://www.docs.hp.com/en/
oshpux11iv3.html#Release%20Notes).
HFS Filesystem Block Size Must
Be Greater Than or Equal to
System Base Page Size
After update to VxVM 5.0, /sbin/rc1.d/S092vxvm-startup
start outputs the following warning to rc.log:
VxVM vxvm-startup WARNING V-5-2-0 CVM protocol
version in use is older. The system is running at
CVM protocol version 60 while the highest available
is 70. You need to run 'vxdctl upgrade' to use the
newest disk group version and the features it
supports.
What To Do
You can safely ignore this harmless message. The message is reported
after an upgrade to indicate that a higher disk layout version is
available.
