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

Table A-1 Known Install and Update Problems (continued)
Description/ActionProblem
Secure Path is not supported on HP-UX 11i v3. If your system is
running Secure Path, upon update to HP-UX 11i v3, a migration
script will execute and perform the following actions:
• Uninstall the HP StorageWorks Secure Path driver for
Active-Passive disk arrays
• Uninstall the HP StorageWorks Secure Path driver for
Active-Active disk arrays
• Map the pseudo DSFs provided to LUNs by Secure Path (for
Active-Passive disk arrays) to their corresponding LUN WWN
• Map the virtual aliases provided to the LUNs by Secure Path 3.0F
SP2 (for Active-Active disk arrays) to their corresponding HP-UX
11i v3 disk device special file
• Update the /etc/fstab with HP-UX 11i v3 disk device special
file by replacing the virtual aliases provided by Secure Path 3.0F
SP2 (Active-Active disk arrays), but the filesystems will not be
automatically mounted
• Update all the Secure Path virtual aliases with the new style device
special files
If the virtual aliases provided by Secure Path 3.0F SP2 (Active-Active
disk arrays) are used in the /etc/fstab file, the entries are
automatically replaced with the corresponding new style dsfs. Only
active-active disk arrays supported by the version of Secure Path
(active/active) installed on the system will be migrated. For example,
if Secure Path for HP-UX 3.0F is installed, EVA-GL (active/active)
LUNs cannot be migrated because EVA-GL is supported only from
Secure Path for HP-UX 3.0F SP1.
What To Do
After the cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 is complete,
manually mount the file systems. For more information, see the white
paper called, Migrating from HP StorageWorks Secure Path for
