• To cold-install VxVM with VxFS, manually select the VxVM with

VxFS environment (in the Ignite-UX Basic tab) and select VxFS

and VxVM 5.1 (in the Software tab) for install.

You MUST explicitly select the “VxVM with VxFS environment” and

the VxVM 5.1 SP1 bundle [Base-VxVM-51]. If not, the Ignite-UX

procedure will fail with the following message.

ERROR: The system has VxVM configured, but the VERITAS Volume

Manager software was not selected for loading. You are required to

load it in order for the installation to succeed. Use the software

selection screen to mark the appropriate VxVM software for loading.

• To update HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 systems, use the following

command:

update-ux –s <source_location> Base-VxFS-51 Base-VxTools-51

Base-VxVM-51

NOTE:

If you have OnlineJFS, Full-VxVM, CVM, or SMS bundles installed, ensure to copy

the respective 5.1 SP1 license bundles into the destination SD depot and select the

same during Cold Install or Upgrade.
