HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01.005 Release Notes (5900-2995, March 2013)

1.6 Upgrading to HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005

HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005 supports upgrades from HP-UX SRP A.02.02 and later. If you have

workload SRPs configured using HP-UX SRP A.02.02 and you need to continue using them, you can

migrate the workload SRPs to workload containers after the upgrade. Before you install HP-UX

Containers A.03.01.005, make sure that all configured containers are stopped.

If the system has an operating system older than HP-UX 11i, March 2013 release, you must first

update your system to March 2013 release before installing HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005.

The srp_migrate utility migrates existing HP-UX-SRP A.02.02 workload SRPs to HP-UX Containers

A.03.01 and later workload containers. The HP-UX SRP A.02.02 workload SRPs are not visible in the

HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005 environment until you run the srp_migrate utility.

1.6.1 Upgrade requirements

 HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005 can only migrate systems running HP-UX SRP A.02.02 and

later.

 When upgrading from an HP-UX Containers A.03.00 enabled environment to HP-UX

Containers A.03.01.005, all existing containers will be updated during software installation

to support HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005. All containers must conform to the configuration

requirements described in 1.5.2 Configuration requirements before you can successfully start

the containers.

 HP-UX SRP A.02.02 SRPs can only be migrated to HP-UX Containers A.03.01 and later

workload containers.

1.6.2 Upgrade instructions for HP-UX SRP A.02.02

After installing HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005, the product will be disabled. You can migrate

existing HP-UX SRP A.02.02 containers as follows:

1. You must first enable HP-UX Containers using the srp_sys command. You can either use the

–enable or the –setup option to enable HP-UX Containers. The srp_sys –enable

command will automatically migrate all existing A.02.02 workload SRPs to A.03.01.005

workload containers. The srp_sys –setup command will provide you the option to select

which A.02.02 workload SRPs to migrate to A.03.01.005 workload containers.

Refer to the HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01 Administrator’s Guide for more information on

the srp_sys command.

2. For any workload SRPs that have not been migrated, you can run the srp_migrate utility

to migrate any remaining workload SRPs:

# /opt/hpsrp/bin/util/srp_migrate

3. Verify that all containers have been successfully migrated and are recognized by the system:

# srp –status

The migrated workload containers will be in the stopped state by default.

4. HP-UX Containers A.03.01 and later delivers new default configuration in the following

configuration files:

/etc/opt/hpsrp/cmpt/base.srp_incl

/etc/opt/hpsrp/templates/srpdefaults.cst
