Base CVM only supported only when cluster is configured to use base CVM, not when cluster is configured to use base VXVM.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes What’s in This Version used to control the root/boot disk. In HP-UX 11i, aVxVM whole disk file system only works if the disk is 2GB or less, therefore if a volume manager is used for the root disk, it must be LVM. Both LVM and VxVM utilities are aware of the other volume manager, and will not overwrite disks that are being managed by the other volume manager.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes What’s in This Version Other Supported Migration Scenarios Migrating VxVM 3.1 on HP-UX 11.0 to VxVM 3.2 on HP-UX 11i The upgrade procedure allows you to retain your existing HP-UX 11.0 VxVM configuration. After upgrading, you can resume using VxVM on the same host with an upgraded operating system without running the vxinstall procedure.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes What’s in This Version 6. Stop the Volume Manager using the following command: # vxdctl stop 7. Remove VxVM 3.1 only or VxVM 3.1 and VMSA using one of the following commands: Remove VxVM 3.1 only: # swremove -x autoreboot=true HPvxvm Remove VxVM 3.1 and VMSA: # swremove -x autoreboot=true HPvxvm HPvmsa NOTE At this time, the host can be upgraded to HP-UX 11i with no impact to the VxVM disk groups.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes What’s in This Version NOTE If the host does not recognize the disk array that was used on HP-UX 11.0 for the VxVM disks, do not continue with Step 13. The host must be able to recognize the disk array before continuing with this procedure. 13. When the system comes up, bring the system to single-user mode using the following command: #init S CAUTION Do not run vxinstall after the system reboots. 14.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes What’s in This Version # mountall 24. List the current VxVM configuration to a file, for example, file2. # vxprint -hm > /file2 25. Compare file1 that was created in Step 1 and file2 to ensure that all of the previously existing volumes have been found. 26. Enter the license key that was saved in the vxlicense1.out file in Step 3 by using the following command: # vxlicense -c You will be prompted to enter the license key. 27.

VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds Known Problems and Workarounds Slow Disk Group Import for FC60 (JAGad46688) • Problem: Importing a disk group made up of LUNs of an FC60 disk array is slow, requiring as much as 90 seconds to complete. Subsequent I/O operations, however, are normal with the FC60. • Fix: A SCSI patch, PHKL_25509, fixes this problem. The fix will be included on a forthcoming “11.11 SCSI IO Subsystem Cumulative Patch.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds VxVM Commands Do Not Always Show Current Status of VxVM Disks (JAGad54689) • Problem: Frequently used VxVM commands, such as vxdisk, vxprint, and vmsa, do not necessarily show the current status of disks managed by VxVM. VxVM builds and maintains a configuration database in system memory.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds VxVM and Older Quantum Disk Drives • Problem: The VERITAS Volume Manager makes use of the kernel-to-kernel passthrough ioctl SCSI command feature in HP-UX. VxVM issues SCSI inquiry commands to devices on the system to recognize individual disks and sort out host to device connection pathways.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds vxassist Command Does not Add a Mirror and a Log • Problem: The vxassist command does not add a mirror and a log when processing a command such as the following # vxassist mirror volume layout=log ... The mirror is added, but the log is silently omitted. • Workaround: If a log and a mirror are to be added, add the mirror and the log in two separate vxassist invocations, as follows # vxassist mirror volume ...
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds database before it shrinks or grows their sizes. This causes any ongoing operation, such as the resynchronization, to fail. • Workaround: If the system reboots before the grow or shrink of a layered volume completes,the volume is left with an intermediate layout. In this case, the user has to use vxassist convert to restore the volume to its original layout.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes Known Problems and Workarounds message is displayed: Summary: There is no such server (host1) Detail: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unknown host: [host2:32839]; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException:host2 In this example, the administrator specified host1 for the VMSA connection, but the server host machine was identified as host2. In some cases, this may be a problem with the way DNS is set up.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes VxVM and Multi-Host Failover Configurations VxVM and Multi-Host Failover Configurations VxVM disk groups can be imported (made available) from only one host at any given time. When a host imports a disk group, that disk group’s volumes and configuration become accessible to the host.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes VxVM and Multi-Host Failover Configurations VxVM can support failover, but it relies on the administrator or on an external high availability monitor to ensure that the first system is really shut down or unavailable before the disk group is imported to another system.
VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes VxVM and Multi-Host Failover Configurations VxFS, and for several popular databases. The -t option to the vxdg program prevents automatic reimports on reboot and is necessary when used with a host monitor (such as Cluster Server) that controls imports itself, rather than relying on automatic imports by VxVM.
