1 Introduction This chapter introduces the Veritas 5.0.1 suite of products. It also describes the features of each product that is included within the Veritas 5.0.1 suite of products.
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) Introduction VxVM is a storage management subsystem that removes the physical limitations of disk storage so that you can configure, share, manage, and optimize storage I/O performance online without interrupting data availability. VxVM also provides easy-to-use, online storage management tools to reduce planned and unplanned system downtime, and online disk storage management for computing environments and Storage Area Network (SAN) environments.
• Volume Snapshot Volume Snapshots are point in time images of VxVM volumes. VxVM 5.0.1 does not support snapshots of RAID 5 volumes. • Dirty Region Logging Dirty Region Logging (DRL) keeps track of the regions that have been changed because I/O writes to a mirrored volume. The DRL uses this information to recover only those portions of the volume that need to be recovered, thereby speeding up recovery after a system crash.
nodes in the cluster. Distributing the recovery tasks is desirable in some situations so that the CVM master can avoid an I/O or CPU bottleneck. • Campus Cluster enhancements The campus cluster feature provides the capability of mirroring volumes across sites, with hosts connected to storage at all sites through a Fibre Channel network.
VxVM Objects VxVM supports the following types of objects: • Physical Objects Physical disks or other hardware with block and raw operating system device interfaces that are used to store data. • Virtual Objects The virtual objects in VxVM include the following: — Disk Group A group of disks that share a common configuration. A configuration consists of a set of records describing objects (including disks, volumes, plexes, and subdisks) that are associated with one particular disk group.
VxVM Storage Layouts Data in virtual objects is organized to create volumes by using the following layouts: • • • • • • Concatenation and Spanning Striping (RAID-0) Mirroring (RAID-1) Striping Plus Mirroring (Mirrored-Stripe or RAID-0+1) Mirroring Plus Striping (Striped-Mirror, RAID-1+0 or RAID-10) RAID-5 (Striping with Parity) Concatenation and Spanning Concatenation maps data in a linear manner onto one or more subdisks in a plex.
VxVM Interfaces VxVM provides the following interfaces: • • • Command-Line Interface Menu-driven vxdiskadm utility Veritas Enterprise Administrator Command-Line Interface As a superuser, you can administer and configure volumes and other VxVM objects using the supported vx* commands. Menu-driven utility The vxdiskadm utility provides an easy to use menu driven interface for common high-level operations on disks and disk groups.
VxFS Features VxFS supports the following features: • Extent-Based Allocation An extent is defined as one or more adjacent blocks of data within the file system. VxFS allocates storage in groups of extents rather than a block at a time, thereby resulting in faster read-write operations. • Extent Attributes Extent attributes are the extent allocation policies associated with a file. VxFS allocates disk space to files in groups of one or more extents. VxFS enables applications to control extent allocation.
• Large File and File System Sizes File systems up to 40 TB and files up to 16 TB in size are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. For more information on files and file system sizes supported by VxFS, see the white paper Supported File and File System Sizes at http://www.docs.hp.com. • Enhanced I/O Performance VxFS provides enhanced I/O performance by applying an aggressive I/O clustering policy, integrating with VxVM, and allowing application specific parameters to be set on a per-file system basis.
— — • New command, fstag, for file tagging New command, fsppmk, for creating XML policies Availability of the mntlock and mntunlock Mount Options You can specify the mntlock option with the mount command to prevent a file system from being unmounted by an application. VxFS 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 For more information on features supported with VxFS 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3, see Veritas File System 5.0.1 Release Notes at http://www.docs.hp.com. Architecture of VxFS HP-UX supports various file systems.

4 Setting up the Veritas 5.0.1 Products This chapter describes how to initialize and set up VxVM 5.0.1 and VxFS 5.0.1.
1. Select the disk to be used as your new VxVM root disk. HP recommends that this disk is internal to the main computer cabinet. If this is currently an LVM disk, you must remove the disk from LVM control as follows: • • • Use the vgreduce command to remove the disk from any LVM volume groups to which it belongs. Use the lvremove command to remove any LVM volumes that are using the disk.
The following procedures describe how to start the vxconfigd daemon and to check whether the deamon is enabled and running, and how to enable the daemon: • Starting the vxconfigd Daemon To start the vxconfigd daemon, enter the following command: # vxconfigd This message indicates that vxconfigd is running but not enabled: mode: disabled • Determining Whether the vxconfigd Daemon is Enabled To determine whether vxconfigd is enabled, use the following command: # vxdctl mode The following message indicates
Enabling Cluster Support in VxVM This release includes an optional cluster feature that enables VxVM to be used in a cluster environment. The cluster functionality in VxVM enables multiple hosts to simultaneously access and manage a set of disks under VxVM control. A cluster is a set of hosts sharing a set of disks; each host is referred to as a node in the cluster. The VxVM cluster feature requires a license that you can obtain from your Customer Support channel.
any log subdisks, read the section on DRL in the Veritas Volume Manager Adminstrator’s Guide available at: http://www.docs.hp.com 6. If the cluster is running with only one node, bring up the other cluster nodes. Enter the vxdg list command on each node to display the shared disk groups. Verifying Existing Shared Disks If you are upgrading from a previous release of VxVM, verify that your shared disk groups still exist. To verify that your shared disk groups exist, complete the following steps: 1. 2.
The procedure discussed in this section applies to the following upgrade scenarios: • • Upgrading from VxVM 3.5 to VxVM 5.0.1 Upgrading from VxVM 3.5 Maintenance Pack 4 to VxVM 5.0.1 If there are volumes in the shared disk groups with the FastResync set option (fastresync=on), reattach each snapshot to its data volume before beginning the upgrade procedure.
2. To use enclosure-based names, enter when prompted by the vxinstall utility: Do you want to use enclosure based names for all disks ? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) For more information on the supported options, see vxinstall (1M). NOTE: Disks use the traditional naming format, usually c#t#d#. Enclosure-based naming enables disk devices to be named for enclosures rather than for the controllers through which they are accessed.
2. Install device files by entering the following command: # insf -C disk For more information on the supported options, see insf (1M). 3. For the volume manager to detect these new disks, enter the following command: # vxdisk scandisks For more information on supported options, see vxdisk (1M). 4. Invoke the vxdiskadm menu driven utility, by entering the following command: # vxdiskadm For more information on the supported options, see vxdiskadm (1M).
2. Start the VEA service by entering the following command: # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl start For more information on the supported options, see vxsvcctrl (1M). NOTE: To stop the VEA service later, enter the following command: # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl stop Setting Up a Veritas Enterprise Administrator Client To run VEA and administer a local or remote system, ensure that you have sufficient privileges.
For more information on the supported options, see vxfsconvert (1M). Mounting a VxFS File System To mount a vxfs file system, enter the following command: # mount -F vxfs [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] special For more information on the supported options, see mount_vxfs (1M). Displaying Information on Mounted File System To view the status of mounted file systems, enter the following command: # mount -v For more information on the supported options, see mount (2).
% set path = ( $path /usr/sbin /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin \ /opt/VRTSob/bin /opt/VRTS/bin ) % setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH Cluster Environment Requirements If you have a cluster environment, you must complete the following steps in addition to setting environment variables discussed in “Setting Environment Variables” (page 48): 1. If you plan to place the root disk group under the control of VxVM, decide into which disk group you want to configure it for each node in the cluster.
5 Upgrading from Previous Versions of VxFS to VxFS 5.0.1 This chapter discusses various VxFS upgrade paths based on the version of your OS. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • • “Upgrading from VxFS 3.3 or 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 to VxFS 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3” “Upgrading from VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 to VxFS 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3” “Upgrading from VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 to VxFS 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3” “Upgrading from VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 to VxFS 5.0.
7. To run the VxFS-specific full fsck on the converted file system, enter the following command: # fsck -F vxfs -y -o full During pass 4, fsck displays several error messages that require a yes response to complete the conversion process. 8. VxFS file systems with disk layout 4 can still be mounted with VxFS 5.0.1. However, to upgrade to disk layout versions 5, 6, or 7, use vxupgrade, as follows: a.
6. To convert any non-vxfs file system on your system to a vxfs file system, and upgrade the DLV from 2 and 3 to 7, enter the following command: # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxfsconvert The vxfsconvert command works with unmounted file systems. To upgrade mounted file system use the vxupgrade command as described in step 6, you must run fsck after vxfsconvert because vxfsconvert does not create all metadata files. 7.
NOTE: You cannot upgrade from DLV 2 to DLV 4 directly. DLV4 is the lowest disk layout that is supported by VxFS 5.0.1. a. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from DLV 2 to DLV 3, enter the following command: # vxupgrade -n 3 b. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from DLV 3 to DLV 4, enter the following command: # vxupgrade -n 4 4. Upgrade to HP-UX 11i v3.

The HP-UX bootloader does not support disk layout Version 7. Upgrading VxFS Disk Layout Versions This section discusses the additional steps required to prepare the file system for being mounted on all nodes of the cluster. Veritas File System 5.0.
For more information on the vxupgrade and fsadm_vxfs commands, see the vxupgrade(1M) and fsadm_vxfs(1M) manpages. WARNING! The contents of intent logs created on a previous disk layout version cannot be used after the disk layout version is upgraded. Requirements for Upgrading to Disk Layout Version 7 Converting a previous disk layout to a Version 7 disk layout requires adequate free space.
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).
1. Select a QuickLog-enabled file system to convert to MVS and unmount the file system: # umount myfs 2. Detach one of the QuickLog volumes from the QuickLog device that the file system had been using. This volume can be used as the new intent log volume for the file system. # qlogdetach -g diskgroup log_vol 3. Create the volume set: # vxvset make myvset myfs_volume 4. Mount the volume set: # mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/myvset /mnt1 5.
9 Removing Veritas 5.0.1 Products This chapter discusses how to remove the Veritas 5.0.1 suite of products from an HP-UX 11i v3 system, using the HP-UX SD commands. This chapter addresses the following topics: • • • • • “Removing Storage Management for Oracle” (page 77) “Removing VxVM” (page 77) “Removing VxFS” (page 79) “Removing CVM” (page 80) “Removing the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) Client” (page 80) CAUTION: If VxVM/VxFS 5.0.1 is installed on a system that contained VxVM/VxFS 4.
1. Evacuate as many disks as possible. Evacuation moves sub-disks from the source disks to target disks. The evacuated disks provide the initial free disk space for volumes to be moved to LVM volumes. Disks can be evacuated in one of the following ways: • Using the vxdiskadm command with the Remove a disk option. • Using the vxevac script. 2.
1. Display a list of all the volumes: # vxprint -g -Ath For more information on the supported options, seevxprint (1M). 2. Remove a named plex: # vxplex -g -o rm disk If the remaining plex has more than one sub-disk, enter the following sequence of commands to consolidate the sub-disks into a single sub-disk: # vxassist -g mirror volume layout=config # vxplex -g -o rm disk For more information on the supported options, see vxassist (1M) and vxplex (1M).
Removing Base-VxFS-501 To remove Base-VxFS-501, enter the following command: # swremove -x autoreboot=true Base-VxFS-501 For more information on the supported options, see swremove (1M). CAUTION: Do not remove the VRTSvlic package if there are any other Veritas products running on your system. NOTE: VxFS 4.1 is activated after the removal of Base-VxFS-501.
