Required Patches The VERITAS File System 3.5 (HP OnlineJFS/JFS 3.5) release operates only on HP-UX
11i 64-bit operating systems with the September 2002 HP-UX 11i (or later) release
installed.
To avoid system hangs, please install patch PHKL_27825 (Cumulative VM, Processor
Sets, Preemption, PRM). See the Additional Patch Information section for more
information about how to obtain patches.
The required patches containing rootability changes are PHKL_27096, PHCO_27101
and PHCO_27209 and are installed as part of the September 2002 HP-UX 11i (or later)
release. The required patch, PHKL_27800, adds features in the HP-UX VxFS layer to
support base/full VxFS 3.5 and is installed as part of the base VxFS 3.5 product.
The optional patch, PHKL_26761, is required only for the operation of the vx_ninode
tunable parameter. The vx_ninode parameter specifies the maximum number of inodes
available in the VxFS in-memory inode cache. If not explicitly specified, the value of
vx_ninode is based on how much physical memory is available on the system. See the
VERITAS File System 3.5 (HP OnlineJFS/JFS 3.5) for more information.
You can use the swlist command to determine whether the correct update and patches
are installed.
