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

Starting with March 2014 release, VxVM 5.0.1 has been replaced by VxVM 5.1 SP1, and VxVM
5.0.1 is no longer included on the OEUR and AR media. Note that VxVM 5.1 SP1 is still optional
and LVM is installed by default. To install VxVM 5.1 SP1, you must select it in Ignite-UX.
Supported 5.1 SP1 configurations
During cold-install or update, supported VxFS 5.1 SP1 and VxVM 5.1 SP1 installations are
achievable with the proper selections in the Ignite-UX tool.
VxFS and VxVM installation through cold-install
VxFS 5.1 SP1 with LVM configuration
A default cold-install results in an LVM system with VxFS 5.1 SP1 and OnlineJFS 5.1 SP1 installed.
(OnlineJFS is only available on the DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE, so it will not be installed with
the BOE.) No additional selections in Ignite-UX user are needed to cold-install this configuration.
VxFS 5.1 SP1 with VxVM 5.1 SP1 configuration
To cold-install VxFS 5.1 SP1 with VxVM 5.1 SP1, manually select VxVM with VxFS environment
(in the Ignite-UX Basic tab) and manually select VxVM 5.1 SP1 (Base-VxVM-51 and
Base-VxTools-51) in the Software tab for install. You must do both (explicitly select the VxVM
“environment” and the VxVM 5.1 SP1 bundles [Base-VxVM-51 and Base-VxTools-51]) or
Ignite-UX fails with the following error:
ERROR: The system has VxVM configured, but the VERITAS Volume Manager software was not selected for loading.
You are required to load it in order for the installation to succeed.
Use the software selection screen to mark the appropriate VxVM software for loading.
VxVM and VxFS installation with update-ux
All of the configurations described in “VxFS and VxVM installation through cold-install” (page 84)
can also be achieved when updating your system with update-ux.
IMPORTANT: If you have created any VxFS file system with disk layout version 2 or version 3,
these file systems cannot be mounted under VxFS 5.1 SP1 on HP-UX 11i v3.
What to do
Use the vxfsconvert or vxupgrade command to upgrade the disk layout to version 4 before
upgrading to VxFS 5.1 SP1 on HP-UX 11i v3. For more information, see the Veritas 5.1 SP1
Installation Guide at http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.
VxFS 5.1 SP1 with LVM configuration
As with cold-install, the update process will default to VxFS 5.1 SP1 with LVM.
VxFS 5.1 SP1 with VxVM 5.1 SP1 configuration
As with cold-install, updates to September 2011 OEUR and beyond will not install VxVM by default.
To update to the VxFS 5.1 SP1 with VxVM 5.1 SP1 configuration, you must explicitly select VxVM
5.1 SP1 in the update-ux command line:
# update-ux -s depot_path Base-VxFS-51 Base-VxVM-51 Base-VxTools-51
NOTE: If VxVM is not selected for installation during update and VxVM is currently not in use,
update scripts built into the September 2011 OEUR and beyond will automatically remove any
unused older versions of VxVM from your system.
Updating from HP-UX 11i v2 with OnlineJFS 4.1 to HP-UX 11i v3 with OnlineJFS 5.1
SP1
To update HP-UX 11i v2 systems that are installed with HP-UX 11i v2 OnlineJFS 4.1 and that you
want to update to HP-UX 11i v3 with OnlineJFS 5.1 SP1 (B3929HB), you must deselect HP-UX 11i
v3 OnLineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA) during the update. This can be done in the update-ux command
line as follows:
# update-ux -s source_location !B3929EA B3929HB
