HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating, September 2008 (Update 3 Release)

HP-UX Virtual Partitions Not Compatible with HP
Integrity Virtual Machines
HP-UX Virtual Partitions is not compatible with HP Integrity Virtual
Machines. The vPars and Virtual Machines products cannot be installed on
the same nPartition or the same virtual partition.
HP Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM) cannot be installed on a system that
has HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) software installed. There is a check
during Virtual Machines installation preventing it.
Important: New Changes in Procedures for Installing
VxFS and VxVM
Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs)
included VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1. Starting with the September 2008 OEUR,
the following versions are included: VxFS 4.1, VxFS 5.0, and VxVM 5.0. Only
VxFS 4.1 is installed by default, meaning that all other versions are optional.
This has important implications for many install scenarios. For detailed
instructions and information about how this impacts you, consult “Appendix
C” of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2008 (http://
www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Installing%20and%20Updating).
Extra Media Swap May Be Required
During OE media installations, if HPSIM-HP-UX is selected either manually
or through a dependency, you should expect to do an extra media swap:
DVD1, then DVD2, and back to DVD1 (the extra swap), then DVD2.
You should follow the on-screen prompts during media installation. These
prompts will include the extra media swap if you select HPSIM-HP-UX or
“all products” for installation.
