HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2014

Table 16 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
If you have installed HP-UX Security Containment Extensions (ContainmentExt
bundle) version B.11.31.01 (which includes the CompartmentLogin and
HP-UX Security Containment
Extensions version B.11.31.01
might produce unexpected
behaviors and swverify errors
ContainmentWiz products) from the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September
2009, or March 2010 OE media, you might 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 might 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, or from the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2010
OE media. Then you can install or update to your target HP-UX 11i v3 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 69).
DRD updates directly from media will fail unless you install the September 2010
OE (or later) versions of DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST.
DRD updates directly from
September 2010 OE (or later)
What to do
media require the September 2010
OE (or later) versions of DRD,
SWM, and SW-DIST
In order to use a media depot to do a DRD update, you will need to first install
September 2010 (or later) versions of DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST products from
the media. This must be done before the clone is created, so the new DRD, SWM,
and SW-DIST are on the active system and on the clone.
To install these products execute a command like the following. (This assumes that
the first DVD of the September 2010 or later release is mounted to /SD_CDROM.)
swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false -s /SD_CDROM \
DRD SWM SW-DIST PHCO_36525
Now you can create the clone, then perform an OE update from media on the
clone.
DRD runcmd does not support the following nsswitch.conf entries on the clone
while managing software through drd runcmd. If the file contains them, the
runcmd will fail.
Certain nsswitch.conf entries
not supported by drd runcmd
passwd: compat
group: compat
hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
You might see these errors during the execution of drd runcmd if your
nsswitch.conf file contains the “hosts: nis” entry:
