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

B Installing VxFS and VxVM
Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs) included
the 4.1 and 5.0 versions of VxFS and the (recommended (default-installed) selection
would install VxFS 4.1. Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 OEUR, the
default version of VxFS installed is changed from 4.1 to 5.0.
The following software is included in HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 OEUR:
• VxFS 4.1 (Base-VXFS bundle) — required (always-installed) installed in all OEs
• OnlineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA bundle) — optional in DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE
• VxFS 5.0 (Base-VxFS-50 bundle) — recommended (default) installed in all OEs
• OnlineJFS 5.0 (B3929FB bundle) — recommended (default) installed in DC-OE,
VSE-OE, and HA-OE
• VxVM 5.0 (Base-VxVM-50 bundle) — optional in all OEs
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is also present in all OEs and is recommended software
(installed by default). This means that, starting in the September 2009 OEUR, the default
install selection for all systems is VxFS 5.0 + LVM.
The sections below describe how you can update to VxFS 5.0, OnlineJFS 5.0, and VxVM
5.0.
If you want to remain on VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1, see the white paper "Installation of
VxFS and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Operating Environment Update
Release" (at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#VxFS). The paper includes
detailed instructions for the following supported configurations and other
considerations:
• LVM with VxFS 4.1 Configuration
• VxVM 4.1 with VxFS 4.1 Configuration
• Updates from HP-UX 11i v2 with OnlineJFS 4.1 to HP-UX 11i v3 with OnlineJFS
4.1
• Updates to HP-UX 11i v3 with VxVM 4.1
Default install of VxFS changed from 4.1 to 5.0 Starting with the September 2008
release, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 were included in the OEUR or AR media and VxFS 4.1 would
have been installed by default. From September 2009 OEUR and beyond, VxFS 5.0 is
installed by default. However, both VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 continue to be included as they
were in past OEURs. Explicit de-selection of VxFS 5.0 in the Ignite-UX tool is required
if you prefer stay on VxFS 4.1. (See the white paper referenced above.)
VxVM 4.1 replaced by VxVM 5.0 Starting with the September 2008 release, VxVM
4.1 is not included in the OEUR or AR media. It has been replaced by VxVM 5.0.
However, in the September 2008 OEUR and beyond, VxVM is not installed by default
as it was in past OEURs. Explicit selection of VxVM 5.0 in the Ignite-UX tool is required
to install VxVM.
