Veritas 4.1 Installation Guide (HP-UX 11i v3, February 2007)

2 System Requirement
This chapter discusses the various hardware and software requirements for the Veritas 4.1 suite
of products. The following disk arrays, JBODs, Servers and 3rd Party Array products are supported
by the Veritas 4.1 suite of products.
Hardware Configuration Supported
For information on supported disk arrays, JBODs, third party arrays products and other supported
hardware VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i Version 3, see “Hardware Support Matrix For
VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i Version 3” available at http://docs.hp.com.
Software Dependency
• VxFS 4.1 works with both HP LVM and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i Version 3.
• Ignite-UX version C.6.9 or later is required for use with Veritas 4.1 products. See “Ignite-UX
Release Notes” for more information.
• If VxFS 5.0 has been used to create file systems with disk layout version 7, those disks will
not be readable by the VxFS 4.1 that ships with 11i v3. You must first copy your data off the
DLV 7 file systems and onto file systems created using disk layout version 5 or 6 before
upgrading to HP-UX 11i v3.
• Similarly VxVM 4.1 can not read the latest disk group version 140 supported with Veritas
5.0 products.
OS Version
