4 Introduction
1 Introduction
Starting with the September 2006 HP-UX 11i v2 release, HP has changed the always
installed version of the Symantec products from 3.5 to 4.1. This includes HP OnlineJFS,
VxFS and VxVM products included with the HP-UX Mission Critical (MCOE) and
Enterprise (EOE) Operating Environments.
If an install (or update) is performed from the September 2006 and later Mission Critical
(MCOE) or Enterprise (EOE) Operating Environments of HP-UX 11i v2 media, you would
get a system with the 4.1 version of the Symantec products installed.
To decide on whether to move to the 4.1 version of the Symantec products, see the Veritas
File System 4.1 release notes and Veritas Volume Manager 4.1 release notes available at
http://docs.hp.com for a detailed description of the features of the Symantec 4.1
Products.
If you decide to continue with the 3.5 version of the Symantec products, this paper would
provide the instructions to be followed to get a system with the 3.5 version of the
Symantec products when cold installing (or updating) from the September 2006 and later
Mission Critical (MCOE) or Enterprise (EOE) Operating Environments of HP-UX 11i v2.
