1 HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.01 for HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes Announcements The HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite (SG SMS) bundles integrate HP Serviceguard (SG) with the Veritas Storage Foundation™ by Symantec (SF). This combination provides powerful database and storage management capabilities while maintaining the mission-critical reliability HP Serviceguard customers have come to expect.

NOTE: The T2794CA, T2795CA, T2796CA, and T2797CA bundles include the MCOE on a separate DVD, they are not included on the HP-UX Application Release media (however, the Serviceguard version that is a prerequisite for the SG SMS T279xCA MCOE bundles is delivered on the HP-UX Application Release media). The SG SMS operating environment bundles offer cost savings over purchasing and installing a SG SMS bundle (T277xCA) and an HP-UX MCOE operating environment separately.
NOTE: The following HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite product bundles are discontinued and removed from the price list effective February 1, 2009: • T2771BA • T2772BA, T2772CA, and T2772CB • T2773BA • T2774BA • T2775BA • T2776BA, T2776CA, and T2776CB The T2776CA and T2776CB bundles will continue to be licensed only as a component of the HP-UX operating environment bundles (MCOE bundles for 11i v2, HAOE and DCOE bundles for 11i v3).

• downtime, see “Cluster Offline Upgrade Option for SG SMS Bundles Containing CVM/CFS” (page 27). Uninstall - The currently installed SG SMS bundle must be uninstalled before a new SG SMS bundle can be installed, then the software must be reconfigured (the cluster must also be reconfigured, if a CVM/CFS bundle is installed). Table 1-5 shows all supported upgrade paths - these upgrade paths do not require an uninstall of the current SG SMS product version.

Cluster Offline Upgrade Option for SG SMS Bundles Containing CVM/CFS To upgrade a SG SMS CFS bundle (T2775xx, T2776xx, or T2777xx) where the supported upgrade path in Table 1-5 (page 25) indicates an offline upgrade is required, there is a procedure that may work with your configuration to minimize the time that the entire cluster is offline. This is accomplished by performing an offline upgrade on half of the cluster nodes while the other half of the cluster nodes remain online.

Follow any special instructions included with the patches. Download the patches into a single file, extract the contents, and create a single depot using the instructions included with the download. Install the patches using the option “patch_match_target=true”.
9. For new installations you will need to create an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite cluster, see Managing Serviceguard for details on configuring the cluster. A high-level summary of the steps involved in using the Cluster File System includes: a. Create and start a Serviceguard cluster without a package using Serviceguard Manager or CFS commands (cmquerycl, cmcheckconf, cmapplyconf, cmruncl). b.

New versions of Serviceguard and ECMT are delivered on the Application Release (AR) media.
NOTE: Before attempting to remove a SG SMS bundle: — Follow any guidelines for software removal of the individual products included in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle. In general, products should be halted and unconfigured before removal. — If any independently installed products have installation dependencies on a product in the installed SG SMS bundle, these products must be removed before the bundle can be removed.

Product Issues and Limitations This section provides information on known issues and limitations for the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.01 HP-UX 11i v2 bundles at the time of this release. For the most recent information contact your HP support representative or the Hewlett-Packard IT Resource Center. Guidelines for CFS Nested Mounts A maximum of four levels of nesting is supported with CFS nested mounts.
Any form of the HP-UX mount command (for example, mount -o cluster, dbed_chkptmount, orsfrac_chkptmount) must not be used in an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite with CFS environment. These non-CFS commands could cause conflicts with subsequent CFS command operations on the file system or the Serviceguard packages. Use of HP-UX mount commands will not create an appropriate multi-node package, which means cluster packages will not be aware of file system changes.
Oracle Disk Manager (ODM) with VxFS and LVM • • What is the limitation? ODM for VxFS file systems on LVM volumes is not supported. What is the workaround? Oracle Files that need ODM capability should reside on a VxFS file system created on a VxVM/CVM volume.
Documentation Errata The following describes known problems with documentation included with HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.01 and workarounds for them. This is subject to change without notice. Veritas man page Errata Due to the unique integration of HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles, errata for Veritas man pages includes: • man page: llttab — What is the problem? Man page states the “llttab file must be managed by the System Administrator”.
