Table A-2 Known install and update problems
Description/actionProblem
When an HP-UX system is rebooted or upgraded, the
HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule does not register with Event Monitoring
System (EMS). As a result, WBEM Indications are not generated for Fibre Channel
devices.
What to do
After system reboot or upgrade, restart HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule using
the following commands:
cimprovider -dm HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule
cimprovider -em HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule
After system reboot or upgrade,
WBEM Indications are not
generated for Fibre Channel
The Disk exerciser tool, which is shipped in the DASProvider bundle, does not
work after bundle installation or upgrade.
What to do
After installing or upgrading the DASProvider bundle, restart
CDM-ProvidersModule or cimserver to make the Disk exerciser tool work. Note:
Restarting CDM-ProvidersModule is recommended here as restarting cimserver
may resume all the providers installed on the system.
After DASProvider bundle
installation or upgrade, Disk
exerciser tool does not work
If you have installed HP-UX Security Containment Extensions (ContainmentExt
bundle) version B.11.31.01 (which includes the CompartmentLogin and
ContainmentWiz products) from the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September
2009, or March 2010 OE media, you may experience unexpected behaviors while
using HP-UX Compartment Login and HP-UX Containment Wizard.
In addition, when you update the OE with ContainmentExt B.11.31.01 to a
newer OE version, you may find swverify errors that indicate
ContainmentExt, CompartmentLogin, and/or ContainmentWiz are not
found on the system.
What to do
Update the product bundle to version B.11.31.01.01 or later, which can be obtained
from http://software.hp.com. Then you can install or update to the HP-UX 11i
v3 March 2009, September 2009, or March 2010 OE media.

New installation of a P700m controller is not recommended on HP-UX 11i v3
releases prior to March 2010. HP-UX 11i v3 Releases prior to March 2010 might
not guarantee that P700m Device Special Files (DSFs) are persistent between
releases. This can cause data on arrays to become unavailable after you upgrade
to the March 2010 (or later) release of HP-UX 11i v3.
What to do
If you have an HP Smart Array P700m already configured on any of the following
releases, you must contact HP Support before you upgrade to the March 2010
release:
• HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 June 2009 WEB release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 WEB Release
If you are considering a new installation of an HP Smart Array P700m Controller,
HP recommends that you configure it on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or
later. If you have a Smart Array P700m controller configured on any HP-UX 11i
v3 release prior to March 2010, you must contact HP Support before upgrading
to a newer release. For further information on contacting HP support, see
Chapter 9: “Support and other resources” (page 71).
