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

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
When updating from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008
and beyond, the following error message is logged to the console on the
final reboot:
VxVM sysboot INFO V-5-2-3390 Starting restore
daemon... VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-684 IPC failure:
Configuration daemon is not accessible VxVM sysboot
INFO V-5-2-3811 Starting in boot mode...
What to do
You can safely ignore this error message. The update and reboot will be
successful, and there will be no functionality impact.
Updating from HP-UX 11i v2
to HP-UX 11i v3 September
2008 and beyond generates
spurious error message
Due to a limitation on the length of the pathname to backing store
volumes, cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 fails in an Integrity VM guest
when using host VxVM volumes as the guest's backing store. The install
fails with the following error:
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-34 added disk array
OTHER_DISKS, datype = OTHER_DISKS
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device disk1_p2:
init failed: Device path not valid
* smapi listener returned "ACTION_FAILURE"
for message "CREATE_GROUP"
The configuration process has incurred an error,
would you like to push a shell for
debugging purposes? (y/[n]):
The issue will be fixed in a subsequent release of VxVM.
What to do
Restrict the length of the pathname to a backing store volume. If using
VxVM volumes as backing store, the combined number of characters in
the volume group name AND the volume name must not exceed 9.
For all backing stores (including LVM or raw disk), the full pathname
to the backing store or volume must not exceed 23 characters.
