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

Table A-1 Known Install and Update Problems (continued)
Description/ActionProblem
When you purchase an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
(SG SMS) Operating Environment (OE) bundle, the SG SMS software
is provided on one DVD and the HP-UX OE (Mission Critical -
MCOE, Data Center - DC-OE, or High Availability - HA-OE) is
provided on a separate DVD.
The software provided on the SG SMS DVD relies on products and
filesets that are provided on the OE DVD, including HP Serviceguard
and the Veritas Storage Foundation products. Each SG SMS version
relies on specific versions of HP Serviceguard and the Veritas Storage
Foundation products that can change with new OE releases.
The software on the SG SMS DVD is installed using swinstall. If
an HP-UX OE is installed on your system and you attempt to install
a SG SMS version that is not supported with the versions of
Serviceguard and Veritas Storage Foundation included with the OE,
swinstall will detect the incompatible software and the installation
will fail.
The software on the OE DVD is installed using update-ux. If a SG
SMS bundle is installed on your system and you attempt to install
or upgrade to an OE version that includes Serviceguard and Veritas
Storage Foundation versions that are not supported with the SG SMS
bundle, update-ux will not detect the incompatible software. The
installation will complete, but the Serviceguard cluster will not start,
or you will not be able to access the Veritas volumes. update-ux
does not check for software dependencies.
What To Do
For information on Serviceguard and Veritas Storage Foundation
versions that are supported with various SG SMS bundles, see the
“Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements” section
in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Release Notes for your
SG SMS product. The SG SMS documentation is available at http://
docs.hp.com (navigate to High Availability, then to HP Serviceguard
Storage Management Suite).
