HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.04.00 Release Notes

NOTE:
• Due to the issue in the VRTSvxvm pre-install script, DRD clone does not boot when an upgrade
is made to A.04.00 from earlier bundles. Please use the functionally equivalent SG SMS
version A.04.00.01 bundles containing the packaging fix required for the above mentioned
problem, if you are upgrading.
• If SG SMS A.02.01 is currently installed, and you plan to upgrade your SG SMS version
using DRD, there is a known issue already documented in some versions of Serviceguard's
checkinstall script. This checkinstall script issue is also documented in
QXCR1000901306 at: www.hp.com/go/hpsc Refer to the workaround notes in
QXCR1000901306 for instructions on how to perform this type of SG SMS upgrade.
NOTE: With Veritas Version 5.1 SP1 the Enclosure Based Naming (EBN) feature is turned
on by default. While cloning a disk when EBN is on, messages similar to the following may
appear:
WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_7" in inventory
WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_8" in inventory
WARNING: Could not find "/dev/dsk/eva44000_9" in inventory
These messages can be safely ignored. To turn the EBN feature off, use the following command:
vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=legacy
