Requirements for Upgrading to Disk Layout Version 7
Converting a previous disk layout to a Version 7 disk layout requires adequate free space. The
space and time required to complete the upgrade increases with the number of files, extended
attributes, and hard links in the file system. The maximum space required is at least two additional
inodes with one block for every inode. A minimum of 10 minutes if required to upgrade every
million inodes in the file system.
Migrating from /etc/vx/vxdba to /var/vx/vxdba for DB2 and Oracle
If you are upgrading Storage Foundation for DB2 or Storage Management for Oracle, you can
migrate to /var/vx/vxdba to save space under the root partition. Migrating to /var/vx/
vxdba is optional and can be done at any time.. However, if you do not perform this migration,
you cannot remove any file or directory from /etc/vx/vxdba to ensure proper operation.
To migrate from /etc/vx/vxdba to /var/vx/vxdba, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the /etc/vx/vxdba directory and contents to /var/vx/vxdba:
# cp -rp /etc/vx/vxdba /var/vx/vxdba
2. Remove the /etc/vx/vxdba directory:
# rm -rf /etc/vx/vxdba
3. Link the directories /var/vx/vxdba and /etc/vx/vxdba:
# ln -s /var/vx/vxdba /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
