Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-0033, August 2011)

Workaround
Clear the failing flag using the vxedit command.
• Upgrading external ASLs and APMs
The Storage Foundation 5.0.1 release only supports upgrading external ASL and Array Policy
Module (APM) packages from release 5.0 or later.
If your system uses any existing ASLs and APMs from the 4.x release, you may need to
download a 5.0 version of the ASL and APM.. Check the latest array support information to
determine whether an updated ASL or APM package is available for your arrays.
For information about supported arrays, see the Hardware Compatibility List for 5.0.1:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-4022/5992-4022.htm
Before upgrading a Storage Foundation product, you must manually remove any existing
external ASL or APM packages That are lower than release 5.0.
After completing the upgrade, obtain the required updated ASLs or APMs to ensure that the
array is claimed correctly.
• Rootability support for native multipathing
The following are software limitations for native rootability support:
◦ Migration of disks from DMP to native multipathing or vice versa is dependent on the
current boot disk. Therefore, changes may not be reflected if the system is started with a
different disk.
◦ Target devices must be under DMP control when executing any of the rootability scripts.
◦ After performing the vxrootmir operation in native multipathing mode, the mirrored
disk is not capable of booting until the mirror is broken from the original root disk.
• Problem
Incorrect paths for the vxvm-iscsi script in the /sbin/init.d/iscsi startup script
The HP-UX operating system uses the /sbin/init.d/iscsi startup script to enable iSCSI
services. During system startup with an iSCSI configuration, the /sbin/init.d/iscsi script
invokes the vxvm-iscsi script. The vxvm-iscsci script is required to perform appropriate
VxVM discovery of iSCSI devices, import diskgroups on those devices, and start the volumes.
In the HP-UX 11i v3 0903 OEUR release, the /sbin/init.d/iscsi script contains the
incorrect path for the vxvm-iscsi script. This issue leads to iSCSI diskgroups not being
automatically discovered and imported.
Workaround
The /sbin/init.d/iscsi script is now corrected by changing all occurrences of /sbin/
init.d/vxvm-iscsi to /sbin/vxvm-iscsi.
• Problem
When a DRD upgrade is attempted from an HP-UX OEUR containing VxVM versions earlier
than VxVM 5.0.1 to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2011 OEUR containing VxVM 5.0.1, the DRD
clone does not boot, although the DRD upgrade completes successfully.
Workaround
The issue is due to a problem in the VRTSvxvm preinstall script. It has been fixed in
Base-VxVM-501 version B.05.01.02.
