HP-UX Logical Volume Manager and MirrorDisk/UX Release Notes (September 2007)

NOTE: PHKL_36244 adds support for the new MWC format to HP-UX 11i v2. Installing
that patch avoids the unnecessary resynchronization.
In the future, HP may add support of larger logical volumes and striped mirrors to previous
releases of HP-UX 11i. However, as of this writing, these features are only available on HP-UX
11i v3. For up-to-the-moment information, contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative
or consult the Hewlett-Packard IT Resource Center site: http://itrc.hp.com (Americas and Asia
Pacific) or http://europe.itrc.hp.com (Europe) for LVM patches.
