HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
When you purchase an HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite (SG
SMS) Operating Environment (OE) bundle, the SG SMS software is
provided on one DVD and the HP-UX OE (Mission Critical - MCOE,
Data Center - DC-OE, or High Availability - HA-OE) is provided on a
separate DVD.
The software provided on the SG SMS DVD relies on products and filesets
that are provided on the OE DVD, including HP Serviceguard and the
Veritas Storage Foundation products. Each SG SMS version relies on
specific versions of HP Serviceguard and the Veritas Storage Foundation
products that can change with new OE releases.
The software on the SG SMS DVD is installed using swinstall. If an
HP-UX OE is installed on your system and you attempt to install a SG
SMS version that is not supported with the versions of Serviceguard and
Veritas Storage Foundation included with the OE, swinstall will detect
the incompatible software and the installation will fail.
The software on the OE DVD is installed using update-ux. If a SG SMS
bundle is installed on your system and you attempt to install or upgrade
to an OE version that includes Serviceguard and Veritas Storage
Foundation versions that are not supported with the SG SMS bundle,
update-ux will not detect the incompatible software. The installation
will complete, but the Serviceguard cluster will not start, or you will not
be able to access the Veritas volumes. update-ux does not check for
software dependencies.
What to do
For information on Serviceguard and Veritas Storage Foundation versions
that are supported with various SG SMS bundles, see the “Compatibility
Information and Installation Requirements” section in the HP Serviceguard
Storage Management Suite Release Notes for your SG SMS product. The SG
SMS documentation is available at http://docs.hp.com (navigate to High
Availability, then to HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite).
