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

If you modified these two configuration files in an earlier release, you must manually

incorporate your prior changes into the A.03.01.005 version of these two files. If you

modified these files before the upgrade, they will be renamed to base.srp_incl.old and

srpdefaults.cst.old.

1.6.3 Upgrade instructions for HP-UX Containers A.03.00

After installing HP-UX Containers A.03.01.005, the system will reboot. During system startup, the

Adding SRPs to kernel configuration step may fail. If any containers are detected that do

not conform to the file system configuration requirements (1.5.2 Configuration requirements), the

/etc/rc.log file will capture errors reported from the /sbin/rc1.d/S331srp_init script, as

follows:

Unsupported file system configuration

/opt/hpsrp/bin/util/srp_config: problem adding container_name

If you see these errors, take the following mitigation steps to create one or more separate file systems

for the containers that are reported in the log. You can add more space for the new containers if

desired.

1. Stop all containers and determine the size needed for the /var/hpsrp directory.

Stop all containers to remove LOFS file references for sizing:

# srp –stop –batch

Get the size of /var/hpsrp in KB (for example, 13,775,048 KB):

# du –sk /var/hpsrp

2. Create a new file system where you can migrate the container content.

Determine the existing volume group and available space for the new logical volume:

# vgdisplay –v

Assume that the new FS size requirement is 13500 MB, and that the available logical

volume lvol4 is on /dev/vg00.

# lvcreate –L 13500 -n lvol4 /dev/vg00

Create the file system on the logical volume:

# newfs –F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4

3. Mount the new file system at /var/hpsrp.

Rename the container directory to prepare for the copy:

# mv /var/hpsrp /var/hpsrp.backup

Create a new mount point:

# mkdir –m 555 /var/hpsrp

Make the file system accessible:
