IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In March 2014 and later OEURs, VxFS version 5.1 SP1 is installed by default. “Base-Vx FS-51” is now a
“Required” bundle of the OEUR and cannot be de-selected during Cold_install.
• During an upgrade to March 2014 OEUR, “Base-Vx FS -51” can be de-selected if you need to have the existing
version of VxFS unchanged. If you do not de-select, VxFS will be upgraded to VxFS 5.1 SP1 from older version.
