1.6.1 Upgrade requirements

• HP-UX Containers A.03.01.004 can only migrate systems running HP-UX SRP A.02.02 and

later.

• When upgrading from an HP-UX Containers A.03.00 enabled environment to HP-UX

Containers A.03.01.004, all existing containers will be updated during software installation

to support HP-UX Containers A.03.01.004. All containers must conform to the configuration

requirements described in

Configuration requirements before you can successfully start the

containers.

• HP-UX SRP A.02.02 SRPs can only be migrated to HP-UX Containers A.03.01 and later

workload containers.

1.6.2 Upgrade instructions for HP-UX SRP A.02.02

After installing HP-UX Containers A.03.01.004, the product will be disabled. You can migrate

existing HP-UX SRP A.02.02 containers as follows:

1. You must first enable HP-UX Containers using the srp_sys command. You can either use the

–enable or the –setup option to enable HP-UX Containers. The srp_sys –enable

command will automatically migrate all existing A.02.02 workload SRPs to A.03.01.004

workload containers. The srp_sys –setup command will provide you the option to select

which A.02.02 workload SRPs to migrate to A.03.01.004 workload containers.

Refer to the HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01 Administrator’s Guide for more information on

the srp_sys command.

2. For any workload SRPs that have not been migrated, you can run the srp_migrate utility

to migrate any remaining workload SRPs:

# /opt/hpsrp/bin/util/srp_migrate

3. Verify that all containers have been successfully migrated and are recognized by the system:

# srp –status

The migrated workload containers will be in the stopped state by default.

4. HP-UX Containers A.03.01 and later delivers new default configuration in the following

configuration files:

/etc/opt/hpsrp/cmpt/base.srp_incl

/etc/opt/hpsrp/templates/srpdefaults.cst

If you modified these two configuration files in an earlier release, you must manually

incorporate your prior changes into the A.03.01.004 version of these two files. If you

modified these files before the upgrade, they will be renamed to base.srp_incl.old and

srpdefaults.cst.old.

1.6.3 Upgrade instructions for HP-UX Containers A.03.00

After installing HP-UX Containers A.03.01.004, the system will reboot. During system startup, the

Adding SRPs to kernel configuration step may fail. If any containers are detected that do

not conform to the file system configuration requirements (

Configuration requirements), the

/etc/rc.log file will capture errors reported from the /sbin/rc1.d/S331srp_init script, as

follows:
