Installation and Upgrade Requirements

Chapter 1

Specific patch numbers are correct at the time of this release. If subsequent patches supersede any of

these, the required patch numbers will change. Search mechanisms provided through Hewlett

Packard’s patch distribution sites help you locate the required patches using the patch numbers

provided here. In addition, VERITAS provides a list of currently required patches on its web site,

support.veritas.com. The table of current patches is located in the Volume Manager, Volume Manager

for UNIX, Knowledge Base. However, you should visit the HP patch hub website to obtain the latest

patch information.

NOTE VxVM package scripts confirm that the mandatory HP-UX patches are installed on your system

before allowing VxVM installation. You are also warned if any of the optional patches are not found.
