Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 for Oracle RAC Release Notes (5900-1513, April 2011)

Upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for Databases (SFDB)
tools from 5.0.x to 5.1SP1 (2184482)
When upgrading from SF Oracle RAC version 5.0 or 5.0.1 to SF Oracle RAC 5.1SP1
the S*vxdbms3 startup script is renamed to NO_S*vxdbms3. The S*vxdbms3
startup script is required by sfua_rept_upgrade. Thus when sfua_rept_upgrade
is run, it is unable to find the S*vxdbms3 startup script and gives the error message:
/sbin/rc3.d/S*vxdbms3 not found
SFORA sfua_rept_migrate ERROR V-81-3558 File: is missing.
SFORA sfua_rept_migrate ERROR V-81-9160 Failed to mount repository.
Workaround
Before running sfua_rept_migrate, rename the startup script NO_S*vxdbms3
to S*vxdbms3.
Relinking ODM after upgrading from 5.0.x
The VRTSodm library path has changed from /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl to
/opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.so.
After upgrading to 5.1 Service Pack 1 from 5.0.x you must update the ODM link
for your database to the new VRTSodm library path /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.so.
Upgrading in an HP Serviceguard environment (2116455)
When upgrading SFDB to 5.1SP1 from the previous release in an HP Serviceguard
environment, first verify that the cmviewcl command can be executed by a
non-root user. This permission change must be done before executing SFDB
upgrade commands.
Using SFDB tools after upgrading Oracle to 11.2.0.2 (2203228)
The procedure which Oracle recommends for upgrading to Oracle 11.2.0.2 results
in the database home changing. After you upgrade to Oracle 11.2.0.2, you must
run the dbed_updatecommand with the new Oracle home provided as an argument
to the -H option before using any SFDB tools. After this step, the SFDB tools can
be used normally.
