HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2014

B Installing the Symantec products VxFS, OnlineJFS, LVM,
and VxVM
Starting with HP-UX 11i v3 March 2014 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR), VxFS
5.1 SP1 is a required (always-installed) product. The default configuration for all systems using
March 2014 is VxFS 5.1 SP1 plus Logical Volume Manager (LVM).
VxFS 4.1 and OnlineJFS 4.1 are still available in HP-UX 11i v3, and you still have the ability to
use those previous versions in a supported environment for the lifecycle of HP-UX 11i v3. However,
HP highly recommends you to move to VxFS 5.1 SP1 and OnlineJFS 5.1 SP1 as soon as possible
to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support ecosystem and enhanced scalability,
manageability, high-availability, and performance.
HP-UX 11i v3 March 2014 OEUR includes the following Symantec software:
• VxFS 4.1 (Base-VXFS bundle)—required (always-installed) in all OEs
• OnlineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA bundle)—optional in DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE
• VxFS 5.1 SP1 (Base-VxFS-51 bundle)—required (always-installed) in all OEs
• OnlineJFS 5.1 SP1 (B3929HB bundle)—recommended (default-installed) in DC-OE, VSE-OE,
and HA-OE
• Logical Volume Manager (BaseLVM bundle)—required (always-installed) in all OEs
• VxVM 5.1 SP1 (Base-VxVM-51 and Base-VxTools-51 bundles)—optional in all OEs
If you want to remain on configurations that include versions 4.1, 5.0, or 5.0.1 (available
separately) of VxFS, OnlineJFS, or VxVM, see “Other supported configurations” (page 85). For
more information on what happens if you attempt an unsupported configuration, see “Unsupported
system configurations” (page 85).
NOTE: VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1 are not supported on Intel Itanium 9300 series processors or
later.
What's new for delivery of the Symantec products
VxFS 5.1 SP1 now required (always-installed)
With September 2008 OEUR, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 were included in the OEUR and AR media, and
VxFS 4.1 was installed by default. With September 2009 OEUR, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 were still
included in the release, but VxFS 5.0 was installed by default.
With September 2011 OEUR, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0.1 were included in the OEUR and AR media.
VxFS 5.0.1 replaced 5.0 and was a recommended (default-installed) product. Although VxFS 4.1
was a required (always-installed) product, installation defaulted to VxFS 5.0.1. If you preferred to
stay on VxFS 4.1, you could explicitly deselect VxFS 5.0.1.
With March 2012 OEUR, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0.1 were included in the OEUR and AR media. VxFS
5.0.1 was a required (always-installed) product. That means that you could not deselect VxFS
5.0.1 (Base-VxFS-501) in the Ignite-UX tool. If you want a configuration that does not include
VxFS 5.0.1, see “Other supported configurations” (page 85).
Starting with March 2014 release, VxFS 4.1 and 5.1 SP1 are included in the OEUR and AR media.
However, VxFS 5.1 SP1 is a required (always-installed) product. That means you can no longer
deselect VxFS 5.1 SP1 (Base-VxFS-51) in the Ignite-UX tool. If you want a configuration that
does not include VxFS 5.1 SP1, see “Other supported configurations” (page 85).
VxVM 5.0.1 replaced by VxVM 5.1 SP1
Starting with September 2011 release, VxVM 5.0 was replaced by VxVM 5.0.1, and VxVM 5.0
was no longer included on the OEUR and AR media. Note that VxVM 5.0.1 was optional and
LVM was installed by default. To install VxVM 5.0.1, you must select it in Ignite-UX.
