# cp -rp /etc/vx/vxdba /var/vx/vxdba
2. Remove the /etc/vx/vxdba directory:
# rm -rf /etc/vx/vxdba

Upgrading the VxVM Cluster Protocol Version
If you are upgrading a cluster and want to take advantage of the new features in this release, you
must upgrade the version of the VxVM cluster protocol. To upgrade the protocol to version 70,
enter the following command on the master node of the cluster:
# vxdctl upgrade
Upgrading VxVM Disk Group Versions
All Veritas Volume Manager disk groups have an associated version number. Each VxVM release
supports a specific set of disk group versions and can import and perform tasks on disk groups
with those versions. Some new features and tasks work only on disk groups with the current disk
group version. Before you can perform the tasks, you need to upgrade existing disk groups.
After upgrading from Storage Foundation 4.x to 5.0.1, you must upgrade any existing disk groups
that are organized by ISP. Without the version upgrade, configuration query operations continue
to function properly. However, configuration change operations do not function correctly.
For 5.0.1, the Veritas Volume Manager disk group version is the same as it was for the VxVM 5.0
release. Upgrading the disk group version is only required if you upgraded from a version earlier
than 5.0.
Run the following command to find the version of a disk group:
# vxdg list diskgroup
Run the following command to upgrade a disk group to the current disk group version:
# vxdg upgrade diskgroup
For more information about disk group versions, see the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's
Guide available at:
http://www.docs.hp.com
Updating Variables
In the /etc/profile file, update the PATH and MANPATH variables as required.
The MANPATH variable can include the /opt/VRTS/man directory and the PATH variable can
include the /opt/VRTS/bin directory.
Setting the Default Disk Group
In releases prior to Veritas Volume Manager 4.0, the default disk group was the root disk group
(rootdg). For the Volume Manager to function, the rootdg disk group had to exist and it had
to contain at least one disk.
This requirement no longer exists; however, you may find it convenient to create a system-wide
default disk group. The main benefit of creating a default disk group is that VxVM commands
default to the default disk group. You need not use the -g option.
You can set the name of the default disk group after installation by running the following command
on a system:
# vxdctl defaultdg diskgroup
