Figure 1 Upgrading the HP-UX Operating System

Upgrading from Storage Management for Oracle 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v2

to Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3

This section discusses the procedure to upgrade Storage Management for Oracle 4.1 on HP-UX

11i v2 to Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3.

Because all disk group versions supported by Veritas Volume Manager 4.1/5.0 are also supported

by Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1, any disk groups created in Storage Management for Oracle

4.1 are accessible by Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 after the upgrade. However, certain

features in Storage Management for Oracle 5.0.1 may require the latest disk group version.

Therefore, HP recommends that you upgrade the disk group. For more information on disk group

versions, see “Upgrading from Previous Versions of VxVM to VxVM 5.0.1” (page 51).

NOTE:

• VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 supports shared disk groups only on disk group version 140.

VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 does not support shared disk groups.

• If the AT broker was not configured prior to the upgrade, it remains unconfigured after the

upgrade. The installation logs contain a message stating that vxatd will not be started because

it was not configured. This is the expected behavior and you can ignore the log message.

Management for Oracle 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3, complete the following steps:
