Known problems, workarounds, and limitations The following known problems are for the current release: • After updating a system from HP-UX 11i Base OE B.11.31.1009 (September 2010) to HP-UX 11i Base OE B.11.31.1103 (March 2011) using update-ux(1M), the WBEMP-Storage.STORAGE-PROV-RUN fileset is not configured. Trying to configure the fileset using swconfig (1M) also fails. The following is seen in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file: * Running "configure" script for fileset "WBEMP-Storage.STORAGE-PROV-RUN".
This limits diagnostics product upgrade steps from taking the backup of the postgres 7.4.2 data. As a result, the data such as events and error records is lost during such circumstances. Workaround: You can select any of the following two alternatives: 1. To install the product on the DRD cloned disk as a normal upgrade scenario. The scenario will be same as fresh installation and user may refer to event.log for historical event data. 2. To have a seamless migration of the data from postgres 7.4.2 version.
