HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2011

Table 15 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
Due to a limitation on the length of the pathname to backing store volumes,
cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 fails in an Integrity VM guest when using host VxVM
volumes as the guest's backing store. The install fails with the following error:
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-34 added disk array
OTHER_DISKS, datype = OTHER_DISKS
Cold-install fails in Integrity VM
Guest
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device disk1_p2:
init failed: Device path not valid
* smapi listener returned "ACTION_FAILURE"
for message "CREATE_GROUP"
The configuration process has incurred an error,
would you like to push a shell for
debugging purposes? (y/[n]):
The issue will be fixed in a subsequent release of VxVM.
What to do
Restrict the length of the pathname to a backing store volume. If using VxVM
volumes as backing store, the combined number of characters in the volume group
name AND the volume name must not exceed 9.
For all backing stores (including LVM or raw disk), the full pathname to the backing
store or volume must not exceed 23 characters.
After an HP-UX 11i v3 install/update, the swverify command might report that
one or more of the following ONCplus.NFS manpage files is missing:
NFS*MAN filesets produce
swverify errors during
install/update or removal
/usr/share/man/man1m.Z/portmap.1m
/usr/share/man/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1m
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.SJIS/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1m
The hard links to the affected manpages were incorrectly removed by the
install/update process.
What to do
As superuser, recreate the missing links by executing the following commands, as
needed:
# cd /usr/share/man/man1m.Z
# ln rpcbind.1m portmap.1m
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
# cd /usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1m.Z
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
# cd /usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
If you are on an HP-UX 11i v1 system and perform swcopy, swlist, or swverify
on a depot containing HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 software, you might encounter
the following warning message:
Warning message when
performing swcopy, swlist, or
swverify
WARNING: Ignoring duplicate information for the keyword
“dynamic_module” at line.
What to do
For swlist or swverify on HP–UX 11i v1, you can safely ignore this message.
For swcopy on HP–UX 11i v1, install patch PHCO_28848 (or a superseding patch)
on the HP–UX 11i v1 system, then re-run the swcopy command with "-x
reinstall=true".
