HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2012

Table 15 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
HFS file system block size must be
greater than or equal to system
base page size always uses this feature to tune the system base page size in the host 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.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs-11iv3).
After an HP-UX 11i v3 install/update, the swverify command might report that
one or more of the following ONCplus.NFS manpage files is missing:
NFS*MAN filesets produce
swverify errors during
install/update or removal
/usr/share/man/man1m.Z/portmap.1m
/usr/share/man/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1m
/usr/share/man/ja_JP.SJIS/man1m.Z/umount_nfs.1m
The hard links to the affected manpages were incorrectly removed by the
install/update process.
What to do
As superuser, recreate the missing links by executing the following commands, as
needed:
# cd /usr/share/man/man1m.Z
# ln rpcbind.1m portmap.1m
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
# cd /usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1m.Z
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
# cd /usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP
# ln mount_nfs.1m umount_nfs.1m
If you are on an HP-UX 11i v1 system and perform swcopy, swlist, or swverify
on a depot containing HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 software, you might encounter
the following warning message:
Warning message when
performing swcopy, swlist, or
swverify
WARNING: Ignoring duplicate information for the keyword
“dynamic_module” at line.
What to do
For swlist or swverify on HP–UX 11i v1, you can safely ignore this message.
For swcopy on HP–UX 11i v1, install patch PHCO_28848 (or a superseding patch)
on the HP–UX 11i v1 system, then re-run the swcopy command with "-x
reinstall=true".
