space. Others may be related to how the kernel parameters are tuned. For example,
if the maxssiz parameter (which is used to set the maximum size of the stack for each
of the user process) is set to 256 MB, you might get an Unable to create native thread
error. In this case, try lowering the value to 32 MB or lower to resolve the problem.
8.4 HP Servicecontrol Manager and HP SIM issues
8.8.4.1 If you are upgrading your system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 and HP
Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 is configured on your system or HP SIM is installed on your
system, and you want to continue to run HP SIM in the future, upgrade to HP SIM by
using one of the following upgrade scenarios:
• If Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 is configured on your system and you do not want
to lose your data, you must upgrade HP Servicecontrol Manager before you
upgrade your system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3.
• If you do not want to keep any of the data from Servicecontrol Manager, you can
remove Servicecontrol Manager before you start the upgrade. Determine whether
Servicecontrol Manager is installed on your system by entering the following
commands:
swlist –l <bundlename>
swlist -l product ServControlMgr AgentConfigSysMgmtServer
SysMgmtAgent
Remove Servicecontrol Manager by using the following command:
swremove ID
where ID is the product or bundle ID. For example:
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false B8339BA
or
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false SysMgmtServer
SysMgmtAgent
Remove the old product subdirectories by executing the following command:
rm -rf /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
You can remove the database for ServiceControl Manager, mysql, by executing
the following command:
swremove mysql
• If Servicecontrol Manager is not configured or if HP SIM 6.x is installed and you
want to continue to use HP SIM, you must select HP SIM 7.1 for upgrade.
Execute the following command:
-x match_target=true
Use this option or use the interactive mode to select HPSIM-HP-UX.
You can also specify HPSIM-HP-UX on the command line. The HP SIM 7.1 installer
will upgrade both a configured and an unconfigured instance of HP SIM 6.0. If
you chose to remove either HP Servicecontrol Manager or HP SIM, execute the
following command to remove subdirectories that were used in the product:
rm -rf /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
If these subdirectories are not removed, you might encounter database errors when
you are trying to run mxinitconfig -a when installing HP SIM 7.1.
