Secure Path not supported
on HP-UX 11i v3
Secure Path is not supported on HP-UX 11i v3. If your system is
running Secure Path, upon update to HP-UX 11i v3, a migration
script will execute and perform the following actions:
• Uninstall the HP StorageWorks Secure Path driver for
Active-Passive disk arrays
• Uninstall the HP StorageWorks Secure Path driver for
Active-Active disk arrays
• Map the pseudo DSFs provided to LUNs by Secure Path (for
Active-Passive disk arrays) to their corresponding LUN WWN
• Map the virtual aliases provided to the LUNs by Secure Path
3.0F SP2 (for Active-Active disk arrays) to their corresponding
HP-UX 11i v3 disk device special file
• Update the /etc/fstab with HP-UX 11i v3 disk device
special file by replacing the virtual aliases provided by Secure
Path 3.0F SP2 (Active-Active disk arrays), but the filesystems
will not be automatically mounted
• Update all the Secure Path virtual aliases with the new style
device special files
If the virtual aliases provided by Secure Path 3.0F SP2
(Active-Active disk arrays) are used in the /etc/fstab file, the
entries are automatically replaced with the corresponding new
style dsfs. Only active-active disk arrays supported by the version
of Secure Path (active/active) installed on the system will be
migrated. For example, if Secure Path for HP-UX 3.0F is installed,
EVA-GL (active/active) LUNs cannot be migrated because
EVA-GL is supported only from Secure Path for HP-UX 3.0F SP1.
What To Do
After the cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 is complete,
manually mount the file systems. For more information, see the
white paper called, Migrating from HP StorageWorks Secure Path
for Active-Active Disk Arrays to Native Multipathing in HP-UX 11i
