YesYesNoNoNoCluster File System
1 HP-UX client support.
2 Defaults to standalone support of Oracle database features.
* If used with a file system, the technical dependencies are that ODM is used for the I/O and that
VxVM (Full) or higher (SMO Standard to SF RAC) is present. The first dependency, in turn,
requires that ODM be licensed.
NOTE: An SG-SMS license is required to use an ISP. For information on all the features supported
by the SG-SMS license, see Table 1-4 (page 12).
VEA Graphical User Interface and System Management Home Page (SMH)
The Veritas™ Enterprise Administrator (VEA) provides a Java-based graphical user interface
for managing VxVM. VEA has two parts: a server and a client. The server must run on the system
running VxVM. The client can run on the server machine or the client software can be installed
on a different HP-UX 11i v2 system, to manage VxVM remotely. Note that only HP-UX 11i clients
are supported.
You must use the VEA to manage VxVM disks graphically. For information on VEA, see the
Veritas Enterprise Administrator User's Guide.
NOTE: System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP SMH is the
system administration tool for managing HP-UX. HP SMH provides systems management
functionality, at-a-glance monitoring of system component health and consolidated log viewing.
HP SMH provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Text User Interface (TUI), and Command
Line Interface (CLI) for managing HP-UX. You can access these interfaces using the
/usr/sbin/smh command.
When you run either the /usr/sbin/sam or /usr/sbin/smh command and the DISPLAY
environment variable is set, HP SMH opens in the default web browser. If the DISPLAY
environment variable is not set, HP SMH opens using its terminal interface.
Coexistence with HP Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
The Veritas Volume Manager for HP-UX coexists with HP Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Both
LVM and VxVM utilities are aware of the other volume manager, and do not overwrite disks
that are being managed by the other volume manager. As mentioned above, the administrative
utilities (SAM and VEA) recognize and identify all disks on the system. A conversion utility,
vxvmconvert, is provided for converting LVM volume groups to VxVM volume groups. For
more information on using vxvmconvert, see the Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Migration Guide.
Unsupported Features
The following features are not supported:
• Snapshot plexes created by the vxassist command are not supported with VxVM 5.0.1.
A combination of snapshot plexes created by vxassist and vxsnap is also not supported
in this release.
• Veritas Cluster Server (VCS)
• Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR)
