HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

Post-Install Tasks
Task 1: Configuring OE Applications
After updating to an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment (OE), some OE products
need post-installation configuration to make them functional. This need may be
indicated by a message logged in /var/opt/swm/swm.log.
Refer to each product's installation instructions for details. The location of OE product
documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available on the Instant
Information DVD and at the HP Technical Documentation Web site:

Task 2: Migrating to the Agile Mass Storage Stack (Optional)
In HP-UX 11i v3 there are two types of DSFs for mass storage: legacy DSFs and persistent
DSFs. Both can be used to access a given mass storage device independently and can
coexist on a given system. The new mass storage stack for HP-UX 11i v3 is intended
to supersede the existing mass storage stack. However, in HP-UX 11i v3 they can exist
in parallel. Existing legacy DSFs will continue to work as before; they are completely
backward compatible, and will not be affected by any persistent DSFs on the same
server.
If you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically
created. By default, the installation process will configure system devices like the boot,
root, swap, and dump devices to use persistent DSFs. This means that configuration
files such as/etc/fstab, /etc/lvmtab, and others will contain references to persistent
DSFs.
You may choose to migrate to the new agile mass storage stack or you can continue to
use the legacy mass storage stack. If you want to use the new features of the agile mass
storage stack and are not affected by existing limitations, you may want to migrate to
the new mass storage stack.
For more information on the new mass storage stack and to migrate from the legacy
view to the agile view refer to the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage
Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 and the white paper called HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration
