HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
The HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 release includes the option to tune
the system base page size to values larger than its 4 KB default. Integrity
Virtual Machines always uses this feature to tune the system base page
size in the Platform Manager to 64 KB. HFS file systems will fail to mount
when the file system block size is less than the system base page size.
What to do
If you are performing an update, and plan to use a non-default base page
size, replace each HFS file system with a VxFS file system. For each
existing HFS file system, create a new VxFS file system and copy the
contents of the HFS file system to the VxFS file system. HP does not
recommend using HFS file systems on systems where the base page size
will be tuned to a non-default value. While HFS file systems can be
configured to work in this environment, VxFS administration is much
simpler than HFS administration with non-default base page sizes.
During a cold-install, configure all physical file systems as VxFS file
systems.
For information about the new tunable that controls the size of a system
base page, see “Tunable Base Page Size” in the HP-UX 11i Version 3
September 2008 Release Notes (http://www.docs.hp.com/en/
oshpux11iv3.html#Release%20Notes).
HFS file system block size
must be greater than or equal
to system base page size
After update to VxVM 5.0, /sbin/rc1.d/S092vxvm-startup start
outputs the following warning to rc.log:
VxVM vxvm-startup WARNING V-5-2-0 CVM protocol version
in use is older. The system is running at CVM protocol
version 60 while the highest available is 70. You need
to run 'vxdctl upgrade' to use the newest disk group
version and the features it supports.
What to do
You can safely ignore this harmless message. The message is reported
after an upgrade to indicate that a higher disk layout version is available.
