VERITAS Volume Manager™ HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes
Overview of VxVM 3.5 for HP-UX
Chapter 1 11
The capability to allow the VERITAS Volume Manager to manage
the root disk selectable at installation time.
• New licensing package
A new licensing package, VRTSvlic, has been introduced. In time
VRTSvlic will become the common licensing solution for all
VERITAS products. Existing license keys are automatically
translated into license keys that can be used with the VRTSvlic
package. Both licensing packages can co-exist on the same system to
support older VERITAS products that do not understand the new
licensing utilities. For more information, see the VERITAS Volume
Manager 3.5 Installation Guide.
• VxVM tunables
The values of various tunables have been adjusted to match the
performance expected from current systems. For more information
about configuring VxVM tunables, see the “Performance Monitoring
and Tuning” chapter in the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5
Administrator’s Guide.
• VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA)
VEA replaces the VERITAS Volume Manager Storage Administrator
(VMSA) as the graphical configuration tool for VxVM.
NOTE For information about new features in VERITAS
Volume Replicator (VVR), please see the VVR Release
Notes.
