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

VxVM and VxFS Installation through Cold-Install
The following sections describe the steps required for each supported cold-install
configuration.
LVM with VxFS 4.1 Configuration
A default cold-install will result in an LVM system with VxFS 4.1 and OnlineJFS 4.1
installed (OnlineJFS will NOT be installed with the BOE). No additional selections in
the IUX user interface (UI) are needed to cold-install this configuration.
LVM with VxFS 5.0 Configuration
To cold-install LVM with VxFS 5.0, manually select VxFS 5.0 and/or OnlineJFS 5.0 for
install in the Ignite-UX user interface’s Software tab.
VxVM 5.0 with VxFS 5.0 Configuration
To cold-install VxVM with VxFS, manually select the VxVM with VxFS environment
(in the Ignite-UX Basic tab) and manually select VxVM 5.0 in the Software tab for
install. You MUST do both (explicitly select the VxVM “environment” and the VxVM
5.0 bundle [Base-VxVM-50]) or Ignite-UX will fail with this error:
ERROR: The system has VxVM configured, but the VERITAS Volume
Manager software was not selected for loading. You are required
to load it in order for the installation to succeed. Use the
software selection screen to mark the appropriate VxVM software
for loading.
VxVM 4.1 with VxFS 4.1 Configuration
If a cold-install to a VxVM 4.1–based system is needed, please consult the following
white paper (at http://docs.hp.com) for detailed instructions:

Update Release
VxVM and VxFS Installation with Update-UX
All of the configurations described in “VxVM and VxFS Installation through
Cold-Install” (page 130) can also be achieved during OEUR updates using update-ux.
Just like cold-install, the update process will default to VxFS 4.1 with LVM. To install
the VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 5.0 configurations noted in the previous section, simply make
sure that the desired bundles are selected in update-ux. To do so, use the following
command:
update-ux -s depot_path Base-VxFS-50 Base-VxVM-50
