Upgrading from VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 to VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX
11i v3
Following are the guidelines that you must consider prior to upgrading to VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX
11i v3:
• Disk group version 120 is the default disk group version for VxVM 4.1, whereas disk group
version 140 is the default disk group version for VxVM 5.0.1.
• All disk group versions supported by VxVM 4.1 (90 and 120) are also supported by VxVM
5.0.1. Consequently, all the disk groups created using VxVM 4.1 can be imported after
upgrading to VxVM 5.0.1. Some new features and tasks work only on disk groups with the
current disk group versions. To use new features, the disk group versions need to be
upgraded.
• VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 supports shared disk groups only on disk group version 140.
To Upgrade from VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 to VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3
To upgrade from VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 to VxVM 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3, complete the
following steps:
1. Stop activity to all VxVM volumes. For example, stop applications such as databases that
access the volumes, and unmount any file systems that have been created on the volumes.
2. If patches to VxVM 5.0.1 for HP-UX 11i v3 are required, the patches must be applied prior
to upgrading the product.
3. Install the VxVM 5.0.1 package.
# swinstall –x autoreboot=true Base-VxVM-501
After this procedure, VxVM 4.1 is replaced by VxVM 5.0.1. Disk groups created in VxVM 4.1
will be accessible after you upgrade to VxVM 5.0.1. For information on upgrading a disk group
to version 140, see “Upgrading VxVM Disk Group Versions” (page 74).
