HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating, March 2014

Procedures for installing VxFS and VxVM are new
Starting with September 2009 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR),
the installation of VxFS and VxVM have changed. The HP-UX 11i v3 OEUR
included the 4.1 and 5.0 versions of VxFS. The recommended (default-installed)
selection was VxFS 5.0 plus LVM. In September 2011 OEUR, the
recommended (default-installed) selection for all systems was VxFS 5.0.1 plus
LVM.
As of March 2012 OEUR, VxFS 5.0.1 is required (always-installed) and LVM
is recommended (default-installed). This has important implications for several
install scenarios. For information on how this may impact you, see Appendix
B: “Installing VxFS, OnlineJFS, LVM, and VxVM” of HP-UX 11i v3 Installation
and Update Guide, March 2014 or later (http://www.hp.com/go/
hpux-core-docs-11iv3).
Starting with March 2014 OEUR, VxFS 4.1, VxFS 5.1 SP1, and VxVM 5.1
SP1 are included in the OEUR and AR media. However, VxFS 5.1 SP1 is
required (always-installed) product. This means that you can no longer deselect
VxFS 5.1 SP1 (Base-VxFS-51) in the Ignite-UX tool. Base-VxVM-51 is shipped
as (optional) product and you must explicitly select in Ignite-UX tool for
installation.
VxFS 5.0.1 and VxVM 5.0.1 are no longer shipped in the OEUR and AR
media. They are available as independent download.
