HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.04.00 Release Notes

Updating HP-UX and SG SMS
When new HP-UX and SG SMS versions have to be installed, careful planning is required:
• When the new SG SMS bundle version is only supported with the new HP-UX version, or the
new HP-UX version is only supported with the new SG SMS bundle version, the update must
be performed simultaneously, as described in:“Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously”
(page 30)
• When both the currently installed versions of SG SMS and HP-UX, and the new versions of
SG SMS and HP-UX that you plan to install are supported with each other, HP-UX and SG
SMS can be installed independently.
◦ The process is straight forward for non-OE SG SMS bundles. Follow the steps in “Installing
HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite” (page 26) for a SG SMS installation from
the SG SMS media (DVD). Then the HP-UX update can be done independently using the
HP-UX installation media (DVD).
◦ For SG SMS Operating Environment (OE) bundle upgrades, additional planning is
necessary. The SG SMS software provided on the SG SMS DVD relies on products and
filesets that are provided on the HP-UX OE (HAOE, or DCOE) DVD. If the new SG SMS
OE bundle version requires new versions of Serviceguard and ECMT that are delivered
on the HP-UX OE media, Serviceguard and ECMT must be updated together with the SG
SMS OE bundle upgrade (not with the HP-UX update). For the HP-UX update, Serviceguard
and ECMT are excluded from the update when you run the update-ux command. For
the SG SMS OE bundle upgrade, the appropriate (supported) versions of Serviceguard
and ECMT must be added to the software depot that the SG SMS OE bundle will be
upgraded from. See “Upgrading a SG SMS OE Bundle - Independent from an HP-UX
Update ” (page 32) for more information.
Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously
This section describes the process for updating the HP-UX version and the HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite Operating Environment (OE) bundle version in one step using update-ux.
This procedure is necessary when an upgrade to a new SG SMS OE bundle depends on a later
Serviceguard version than the one that is currently installed.
General information about updating to HP-UX 11i v3 with update-ux is included in the HP-UX
11i v3 Installation and Updated Guide available at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs →
HP-UX 11i v3
1. Copy the contents of your 11i v3 OE media to an HP-UX depot, for example:
swcopy -s /11iv3OE_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
If there are multiple 11i v3 OE DVDs, repeat this with each DVD.
You can also use the interactive swcopy command to automatically mount and unmount the
DVD, for example:
swcopy -i \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
- then select Find Local CD-ROM in the Specify Source screen.
2. Copy the contents of the HP-UX Serviceguard and HP Storage Management Products media,
for example /11iv3SG_DVD, into the same HP-UX depot. If there are multiple Serviceguard
and Storage Management DVDs, repeat this with each DVD:
swcopy -s /11iv3SG_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
Or use interactive swcopy as shown in step 1.
3. If you plan to use this HP-UX depot to update systems other than the system where the depot
resides, the HP-UX depot must be registered. The swcopy command will automatically register
