HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2011

VxFS 5.0.1 with VxVM 5.0.1 configuration
To cold-install VxFS 5.0.1 with VxVM 5.0.1, manually select VxVM with VxFS environment (in the
Ignite-UX Basic tab) and manually select VxVM 5.0.1 (Base-VxVM-501 and
Base-VxTools-501)in the Software tab for install. You must do both (explicitly select the VxVM
“environment” and the VxVM 5.0.1 bundles [Base-VxVM-501 and Base-VxTools-501]) or
Ignite-UX will fail with this 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.
Updating to VxFS with VxVM with update-ux
All of the configurations described in “Cold-installing VxFS with LVM or with VxVM” (page 82)
can also be achieved when updating your system with update-ux. As with cold-install, the update
process will default to VxFS 5.0.1 with LVM.
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 5.0.1 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 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3. For more information, see the Veritas 5.0.1 Installation
Guide at http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.
To install the VxFS 5.0.1 with VxVM 5.0.1 configuration, simply make sure you select the
corresponding bundles with update-ux. Use the following command:
# update-ux -s depot_path Base-VxFS-501 Base-VxVM-501 Base-VxTools-501
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 5.0.1
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 5.0.1 (B3929GB), 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 B3929GB
The !B3929EA entry on the command line ensures that 11i v3 OnLineJFS 4.1 is not installed from
the depot during the update.
