HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

require waiting until after the upgrade, such as substituting agile devices for an 11i v2 multipath
solution. Another area of particular concern is the layered products running on your 11i v2 based
Integrity VM server. Analyze each layered product to determine its upgrade impact:
• No change - Layered product is compatible.
• Delete/reinstall - Layered product requires a new version to work on 11i v3.
• Delay upgrade – Layered product needs a new version that has not yet released.
For more information, see the following documents:
• Compatibility Issues or Exceptions in the Initial Release of HP-UX 11i v3
• HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes
2.3.2.1 Run the HP-UX msv2v3check Tool
The HP-UX msv2v3check command reviews all mass storage controllers and devices on your
system for HP-UX 11i v3 compatibility and support. In addition, msv2v3check attempts to
verify that your system meets other 11i v3 system requirements, particularly the minimum
memory required and supported platforms. For more information , see the getconf (1M) and
model (1M) HP-UX commands.
The msv2v3check command looks at only mass storage controllers (host bus adapters) and
devices for HP-UX 11i v3 compatibility and support. This includes the following:
• Ultra160 SCSI (C8xx) host bus adapters and attached HP supported SCSI devices
• Ultra320 SCSI (MPT) host bus adapters and attached HP supported SCSI devices
• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapters and attached HP supported SAS devices
• Smart Array RAID (CISS) host bus adapters and attached HP supported RAID devices
• Fibre Channel (FCD/TD) host bus adapters and attached HP supported Fibre Channel devices
• HP supported SCSI disk enclosures and arrays
• HP supported Fibre Channel disk enclosures and arrays
The msv2v3check command creates the following log file in the /var/adm/msv2v3check/
directory:
/var/adm/msv2v3check/mmddyy_hhmm is the full log file that contains all
notes, warnings, and error messages from an invocation of msv2v3check,
where mmddyy_hhmm represents the month, day, year, hours and minutes
at the time the msv2v3check utility was started.
Once the msv2v3check utility has completed, a validation result is displayed that indicates the
number of errors and warnings detected on your system configuration:
• An error is a critical message that indicates that your system does not support HP-UX 11i
v3 in its current configuration. Do not ignore this message.
• A warning indicates a task that might require user action, for example, upgrading the
firmware on a disk device, or manually reviewing the firmware of a Fibre Channel disk
array.
Review all warnings and make the necessary corrections before upgrading to HP-UX 11i v3.
For supported I/O drivers, devices, adapters; see the following document on the HP documentation
website:http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-6460/ch02s04.html.
2.3.2.2 Run the Integrity VM Upgrade Tool
The Integrity VM upgrade tool, hpvmupgrade, can be run on either an 11i v2 or an 11i v3 system.
This tool focuses on analyzing guest configurations for problems that might cause the guest not
to boot when running on an 11i v3 Integrity VM server. Run this utility during the upgrade
analysis stage.
To run this utility, use the following command:
# hpvmupgrade –e
