VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.1 Release Notes

Software Limitations
24 VERITAS Storage Foundation Release Notes
The disk layout of a VxFS file system can be upgraded after installing VxFS 4.1. Use
vxupgrade(1M) command to upgrade the disk layout from Version 4 or 5 to disk layout Version
6 on a mounted file system. Use vxfsconvert(1M) to convert an unmounted file system to
VxFS disk layout Version 4.
Note A disk layout Version 6 file system created with VxFS 4.1 software will not be accessible if
the VxFS 4.1 file system software is removed and the system is reverted to VxFS 3.5. In
addition, if a disk layout Version 6 file system exists on a boot disk and VxFS 3.5 is
removed, the host will not reboot successfully and will remain at the bcheckrc prompt. To
reboot the host successfully, first edit the fstab file and comment out disk layout Version 6
file system entries.
See the VERITAS File System Installation Guide for more information on upgrading previous file
system disk layout Versions. See the VERITAS File System Administration Guide for more
information on supported disk layout Versions.
Note VxFS file systems must be cleanly unmounted before upgrading to the VERITAS File
System 4.1 release from any previous release. For more information, see TechNote 265504,
available at: http://support.veritas.com/docs/265504.
