1 Introduction This chapter introduces the Veritas 5.0 suite of products. It also describes the features of each product that is included within the Veritas 5.0 suite of products.
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) Introduction VxVM is a storage management subsystem that removes the physical limitations of disk storage so that you can configure, share, manage, and optimize storage I/O performance online without interrupting data availability. VxVM also provides easy-to-use, online storage management tools to reduce planned and unplanned system downtime, and online disk storage management for computing environments and Storage Area Network (SAN) environments.
• Volume Snapshot Volume Snapshots are point in time images of VxVM volumes. VxVM 5.0 does not support snapshots of RAID 5 volumes. • Dirty Region Logging Dirty Region logging (DRL) keeps track of the regions that have been changed because I/O writes to a mirrored volume. The DRL uses this information to recover only those portions of the volume that need to be recovered, thereby speeding up recovery after a system crash. VxVM 5.0 on HP–UX 11i v3 For more information on features that VxVM 5.
group also has an internally defined unique disk group ID, which is used to differentiate two disk groups with the same administrator-assigned name. — VM Disks When you place a physical disk under VxVM control, a VM disk is assigned to the physical disk. Each VM disk corresponds to one physical disk. A VM disk is under VxVM control and is usually in a disk group. — Subdisks A VM disk can be divided into one or more subdisks.
Striping (RAID-0) Striping maps data so that the data is interleaved among two or more physical disks. A striped plex contains two or more subdisks, spread out over two or more physical disks. Mirroring (RAID-1) Mirroring uses multiple mirrors (plexes) to duplicate the information contained in a volume. In the event of a physical disk failure, the plex on the failed disk becomes unavailable.
File Systems Supported on HP-UX 11i v3 Table 1-1 discusses the file systems that are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. Table 1-1 Supported File Systems on HP-UX 11i v 3 File System Type Description Hierarchical File System (HFS) HFS is derived from the UNIX File System, the original BSD file system. Veritas File System (VxFS) The Veritas File System is an extent-based, intent logging file system from Symantec Corporation.
VxFS reduces system failure recovery time by tracking file system activity in the VxFS intent log. This feature records pending changes to the file system structure in a circular intent log. • Access Control Lists (ACLs) An Access Control List (ACL) stores a series of entries that identify specific users or groups, and their access privileges for a directory or file. • Online Administration A VxFS file system can be defragmented and resized while it remains online and available to users.
• Quotas VxFS supports quotas, which allocate per-user quotas and limit the use of two principal resources files and data blocks. • Multi-Volume Support The Multi-Volume support enables several volumes to be encapsulated into a single virtual object called volume set. This volume set can then be used to create a file system, thereby enabling advanced features such as Dynamic Storage Tiering. VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3 For more information on features supported with VxFS 5.

- VRTSob,r=3.2.555.1 replaces VRTSob,r=3.2.532.0.001 - VRTSobgui.VEA-FILESET,r=3.2.555.1 replaces VRTSobgui.VEA-FILESET,r=3.2.532.0.001 - VRTSobgui,r=3.2.555.1 replaces VRTSobgui,r=3.2.532.0.001 - VRTSvlic.VLIC-RUN,r=3.02.23.1 replaces VRTSvlic.VLIC-RUN,r=3.01.IA.002.010 - VRTSvlic,r=3.02.23.1 replaces VRTSvlic,r=3.01.IA.002.010 - VRTSvmdoc.VXVM-DOC,r=4.1.032 replaces VRTSvmdoc.VXVM-DOC,r=3.5~IA.014 - VRTSvmdoc,r=4.1.032 replaces VRTSvmdoc,r=3.5~IA.014 - VRTSvmpro.VMPRO-PRG,r=4.1.020 replaces VRTSvmpro.
4 Setting up the Veritas 5.0 Products This chapter describes how to initialize and set up VxVM 5.0 and VxFS 5.0. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • Setting up VxVM 5.0 Setting up and Managing VxFS 5.0 Setting up Storage Management for Oracle Setting Up VxVM 5.0 Initializing VxVM Using vxinstall Utility You can use the vxinstall utility to initialize VxVM.
NOTE: In releases prior to VxVM 4.1, the default disk group was rootdg (the root disk group). For VxVM 3.5 to function, the rootdg disk group had to exist, and it had to contain at least one disk. This is no longer required in VxVM 5.0. However, you can still create a root disk group as a system wide default disk group. For operations that require a disk group, the system wide default disk group is used if the VxVM command does not explicitly mention the disk group with the -g option.
• • • • If the disk was previously initialized for future use by VxVM, it can be re-initialized and placed under VxVM control. If the disk was previously used for a file system, VxVM prompts you to confirm that you really want to destroy the file system. If the disk was previously in use by the LVM subsystem, you can preserve the existing data while still letting VxVM take control of the disk. This is accomplished using the conversion utility vxvmconvert.
Creating a VxFS File System To create a file system, enter the following command: # newfs -F vxfs For more information on the supported options, see newfs_vxfs (1M). The newfs command builds a vxfs file system by invoking mkfs. You can also use the mkfs command, instead of the newfs command to create the VxFS file system.
Setting up Storage Management for Oracle For information on setting up the Storage Management for Oracle, see the Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle Administrator’s Guide.
5 VxFS Upgrade Paths This chapter discusses various VxFS upgrade paths based on the version of your OS. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • “VxFS 3.3 or 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 to VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3” “VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 to VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3” “VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v2 to VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3” CAUTION: You must ensure that: • You do not upgrade the operating system and the Veritas products simultaneously.
During pass 4, fsck displays several error messages that require a yes response to complete the conversion process. 8. VxFS file systems with disk layout 4 can still be mounted with VxFS 5.0. However, to upgrade to disk layout versions 5, 6, or 7, use vxupgrade, as follows: a. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 4 to disk layout 5, enter the following command: # vxupgrade -n 5 b.
The vxfsconvert command works with unmounted file systems. To upgrade mounted file system use the vxupgrade command as described in step 6, you must run fsck after vxfsconvert because vxfsconvert does not create all metadata files. 7. To run the VxFS-specific full fsck on the converted file system, enter the following command: # fsck -F vxfs -y -o full During pass 4, fsck displays several error messages that require a yes response to complete the conversion process. 8.
4. 5. 6. Upgrade to HP-UX 11i v3. For more information on upgrading to HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide at: http://docs.hp.com. Install VxFS 5.0. For more information on installing VxFS 5.0, see Chapter 3 (page 27). To convert any non-VxFS file system on your system to a VxFS file system, and to upgrade the DLV from 2 and 3 to 7, enter the following command: # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxfsconvert The vxfsconvert command works with unmounted file systems.

7 Upgrading to Storage Management for Oracle 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3 This chapter describes how to upgrade from an earlier version of Storage Management for Oracle to SMO 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • “ Upgrading from SMO 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v2 to SMO 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3” (page 53) “Upgrading from SMO 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v2 to SMO 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3” (page 54) “Upgrading from SMO 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 to SMO 5.
WARNING: The file '/usr/conf/mod/dmpXXX.1' does not contain valid kernel code. It will be ignored. You can ignore this message. 4. Upgrade from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3. After the OS upgrade is complete, Base-VxVM 5.0 for HP-UX 11i v2 is the default VxVM software available in the system. As a result, after the upgrade procedure, any disk groups including 5.0 (HP-UX 11i v2) and disk groups with 140 disk group versions are not accessible.
3. Upgrade from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3. After the OS upgrade is complete, Base-VxVM 4.1 is the default VxVM software available in the system. Shared disk groups with disk group versions earlier than or same as 120 are not accessible because shared disk group is not supported in VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3. If required, install patches required for SMO 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3 prior to upgrading the product. 4. Install SMO for HP-UX 11i v3. Enter the following command to install HP SMO Standard 5.
8 Removing Veritas 5.0 Products This chapter discusses how to remove the Veritas 5.0 suite of products from an HP-UX 11i v3 system, using the HP-UX SD commands. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • • Removing Storage Management for Oracle Removing VxVM Removing VxFS Removing CVM CAUTION: If VxVM/VxFS 4.1 were installed on a system and VxVM/VxFS 5.0 were installed on top of it, the 4.1 products are removed from the system. Removing 5.0 products later makes the system become unbootable.
2. Remove the evacuated disks from VxVM control by entering the following command: # vxdg -g rmdisk For more information on supported options, see vxdisk (1M) and vxdg (1M). 3. 4. 5. Unmount the disk to be removed first. If the volume is being used as a raw partition for database applications, ensure that the application is not updating the volume and the data on the volume is synchronized. Create an LVM volume of the same size as the plex on the VxVM volume.
2. To remove a named plex, enter the following command: # vxplex -g -o rm disk If the remaining plex has more than one sub-disk, enter the following sequence of commands to consolidate the sub-disks into a single sub-disk: # vxassist -g mirror volume layout=config # vxplex -g -o rm disk For more information on the supported options, see vxassist (1M) and vxplex (1M). NOTE: The consolidation operation fails if you do not have sufficient space on a single sub-disk.
For more information on the supported options, see swremove (1M). CAUTION: Do not remove the VRTSvlic package if there are any other Veritas products running on your system. NOTE: VxFS 4.1 is activated after the removal of Base-VxFS-5.0. Removing CVM To remove CVM, enter the following command: # swremove -x autoreboot=true B9117CB 60 Removing Veritas 5.
