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

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) now supports doing updates from an earlier
version of HP-UX 11i v3 to the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 release on the
clone while the active system is up and running. You can run this on a
stand-alone machine, on virtual machines (VM), or on nPars. After the
DRD update is performed on the clone, you may boot from the clone
disk and run a swverify \* to ensure the software was updated
correctly. On a virtual machine or an nPar, you may see these errors
during the swverify of the software:
ERROR: Failed to create the EMT database.
ERROR: Could not install the EMT database.
EMT configure failed.
ERROR: The "configure" script for
"SFM-CORE.EMT_COREIA" failed
(exit code "1").
The script location was
"/var/adm/sw/products/SFM-CORE.2/EMT_COREIA/configure".
What to do
For a work-around or additional steps that need to be taken to
successfully configure System Fault Management (SFM, SysFaultMgmt),
check the known problems and issues at the DRD website: http://
www.hp.com/go/drd.
After DRD update is
performed on a clone, you
may see errors during
swverify
At the end of an update, Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) recommends that
you run swm job log -v <job_id>. However, this feature is not
functional and could produce a stack trace.
What to do
To view the log on the inactive image, run this command instead:
drd runcmd view /var/opt/swm/swm.log
The view program is identical to vi except that the “read-only” editor
option is set. You are able to search the document and when you’re done,
you can exit the editor program.
At end of update, DRD
recommends a
non-functional feature

/opt/drd/wrappers/check_swm_rev[22]: linker:

What to do
You can safely ignore these messages. The update will proceed as normal.
