LVM/VxVM and vPars sx2000 Upgrade

PROCEDURE D

This is for a nPartition that does not contain any virtual partition and boots using a VxVM volume group.

RE-UPGRADE STEPS

1. Backup the original ioconfig files:

# cp /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.bckup

# cp /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.bckup

2. Update the ioconfig file using the executable found on the CD:

# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /etc/ioconfig

# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /stand/ioconfig

3. If this virtual partition is running X.25, update the X.25 configuration using the executable found on the CD:

# <path>/x25_pci2pcix_hwpath_upgrade.script -w /etc/sync_wan/config.db

4. Shutdown and halt the system:

# reboot –sh

5. Perform the pre-upgrade steps for next nPartition (Note: this could be a different procedure).

EFI

POST-UPGRADE STEPS

1. Search for boot device.

1.1. Using the EFI Boot Manager, enter the EFI Shell:

Choose: “EFI Shell [Built-in]:”

Shell>

1.2. Find the file system mapping for the boot device path of the first virtual partition using the mapping found in preparation step

4.3 of the previous section titled Determining What Is Configured In Each Npartition. Look for the corresponding device map for

the boot device hardware path that looks similar to the following:

Shell> map

fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,404)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(PunA,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig8786850E-A951-11DA-

8002-D6217B60E588)

1.3. Ensure the above file system is bootable (i.e. has HPUX.EFI)

Shell> ls fs0:\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI

Directory of: fs0:\EFI\HPUX

01/09/06 04:48p 521,494 HPUX.EFI

1 File(s) 521,494 bytes

0 Dir(s)

where fs0 is the mapping index for the boot device found in step 1.2.

2. Boot from the identified boot device.

2.1. Change the EFI working environment to the EFI Map of the boot device:

Shell> fs0:

Where fs0 is the mapping index for the boot device found in step 1.2.

2.2. Start the hpux bootloader and interrupt the autoload, if enabled:

fs0:\> hpux

2.3. Boot HP-UX in VxVM maintenance mode:

HPUX> boot –vm /stand/vmunix

OS POST-UPGRADE STEPS

1. Update the device special files:

# insf –e

2. Update the primary and alternate boot paths:

# setboot –p new pri path

# setboot –a new alt path
