NIS+ to LDAP-UX migration tool uses NIS+ commands and utilities for migration. Since the
NIS+ commands and utilities are not available on HP-UX 11i v3, the migration tools will not
run on a system that has been updated to HP-UX 11i v3.
What to do
Migrate NIS+ servers and clients to LDAP before updating to HP-UX 11i v3.
Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 release, Online Diagnostics are no longer
started by default. Traditionally, HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) depends on
ISEE users might need to
switch diagnostics mode
Online Diagnostics (EMS listener) for event detection; however, if it is not started and you
notice anomalies in ISEE operation, especially with regard to which events are submitted,
you must consult the ISEE Installation and Configuration Guide.
What to do
To check which version of diagnostics is running, run the following command:
sfmconfig -w -e
The preceding command switches the diagnostics mode to "EMS". In this mode, EMS
Hardware Monitors are enabled and SysFaultMgmt does not monitor any devices.
If the results show that only System Fault Manager is running without Online Diagnostics
(EMS listener) on your HP-UX device, and anomalies exist in ISEE operation, especially with
regard to which events are submitted, consult the ISEE Installation and Configuration Guide
for additional information and instructions at

Note: As of the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 OEUR, ISEE is no longer included in the
OEs. See the HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Release Notes for further information.
