HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2010

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
If you have installed HP-UX Security Containment Extensions (ContainmentExt
bundle) version B.11.31.01 (which includes the CompartmentLogin and
ContainmentWiz products) from the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September
2009, or March 2010 OE media, you might experience unexpected behaviors while
using HP-UX Compartment Login and HP-UX Containment Wizard.
In addition, when you update the OE with ContainmentExt B.11.31.01 to a
newer OE version, you might find swverify errors that indicate
ContainmentExt, CompartmentLogin, and/or ContainmentWiz are not
found on the system.
What to do
Update the product bundle to version B.11.31.01.01 or later, which can be obtained
from http://software.hp.com, or from the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2010 OE media.
Then you can install or update to your target HP-UX 11i v3 OE media.

New installation of a P700m controller is not recommended on HP-UX 11i v3
releases prior to March 2010. HP-UX 11i v3 Releases prior to March 2010 might
not guarantee that P700m Device Special Files (DSFs) are persistent between
releases. This can cause data on arrays to become unavailable after you upgrade
to the March 2010 (or later) release of HP-UX 11i v3.
What to do
If you have an HP Smart Array P700m already configured on any of the following
releases, you must contact HP Support before you upgrade to the March 2010
release:
• HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 June 2009 WEB release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Release
• HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 WEB Release
If you are considering a new installation of an HP Smart Array P700m Controller,
HP recommends that you configure it on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or
later. If you have a Smart Array P700m controller configured on any HP-UX 11i
v3 release prior to March 2010, you must contact HP Support before upgrading
to a newer release. For further information on contacting HP support, see
Chapter 9: “Support and other resources” (page 71).
Issues with HP Smart Array
P700m RAID controllers
When executing drd runcmd update-ux using a directory depot (or mounted
media) that resides on the active system image, the command fails with this error:
ERROR: The expected depot does not exist at
"<depot_name>"
What to do
In order to use a directory depot on the active system image, you will need to
install March 2010 (or later) Dynamic Root Disk (DRD), Software Manager (SWM),
and Software Distributor (SW-DIST) products from an OE depot. This must be
done before the clone is created, so the new DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST are on
the active system and on the clone.
The following assumes the OE depot is at /var/depots/1003-DCOE. This must
be executed as root:
swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false \
-s /var/depots/1003-DCOE \
DRD SWM SW-DIST PHCO_36525
drd runcmd update-ux fails
