Veritas Volume Manager Software Limitations
Following are the known limitations of VxVM 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3:
• After migration from DMP to nMP or vice versa, you must reboot the system to have the changes
take effect.
NOTE: Online migration of nMP to DMP or vice versa is not supported. VxVM disables the
configuration daemon (vxconfigd) until the system reboots. This ensures that any operation,
which could lead to a configuration change, will fail.
• Migration of disks from DMP to nMP is dependent on the current boot disk. As a result, changes
may not be reflected if the system is booted with a different disk.
• Target devices must be under DMP control when executing any of the rootability scripts.
• After performing the vxrootmir operation in nMP mode, the mirrored disk is not capable of
booting until the mirror is broken out from the original rootdisk.
• You must configure the target disk in DMP mode before executing the vxcp_lvmroot script.
