Veritas 5.0 Installation Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, May 2008

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 <vol_name>
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, 5 and 6 can still be mounted with VxFS 5.0. However,
to upgrade the disk layout version of mounted file systems to 7, use the vxupgrade
command as follows:
a. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 4 to disk layout 7, enter the
following command:
# vxupgrade -n 5 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
b. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 5 to disk layout 7, enter the
following command:
# vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
c. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 6 to disk layout 7, enter the
following command:
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
d. To verify the conversion, enter the following command:
# fstyp -v <vol_name>

To upgrade from VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v2 to VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3, complete the following
steps:
1. To determine the volume names, enter the following command:
# bdf
2. To determine the current disk layout version for system partitions, enter the following
command:
# fstyp -v <vol_name>
3. To upgrade file systems with DLV 2 or 3, before installing 5.0, complete the following steps:

command:
# vxupgrade -n 3 <dir_name>
