VERITAS 4.1 Installation Guide (June 2006)

System Requirements for Installing VERITAS 4.1
Chapter 110
Table 1-2 describes the disk space requirements for installing the Base-VXVM 4.1 SD-Bundle.
Patch Requirements
The required patches for the Base-VXFS 4.1 SD-Bundle and Base-VXVM 4.1 SD-Bundle are
part of the FEATURE11i bundle.
NOTE If VRTSfsnbl is installed on the system, you must remove it before installing
Base-VXFS 4.1. The VxFS checkinstall script detects it, and the installation
is aborted with instructions in the SD logs.
The other patches you must install are PHCO_33308 and PHCO_33238. The PHCO_33308 patch is
required for Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to work with Disk Layout Version 6. The Disk
Layout Version 6 is the default disk layout for VxFS 4.1. The patch PHCO_33238 is required for
using the swapon command to enable VxFS 4.1 file system for paging.
IMPORTANT If patch PHCO_33308 is not installed on your system and you try to create a
physical volume for use in an LVM volume group or try to reduce the size of an
existing LVM volume, there will be potential data loss.
WARNING System Administration Manager (SAM) does not recognize a VxFS 4.1
file system with Disk Layout Version 6.
