Installation of non-default VxFS and VxVM software version on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012 Operating Environment Update Release (January 2013)

 In March 2012 and later OEURs, VxFS version 5.0.1 is installed by default. “Base-
VxFS-501” is now a “Required” bundle of the OEUR and cannot be de-selected
during Cold_install.
 During an upgrade to March 2012 OEUR, “Base-VxFS-501” can be de-selected if
you need to have the existing version of VxFS unchanged. If not de-selected, VxFS
will be upgraded to VxFS 5.0.1 from older version.
 OnlineJFS 5.0.1 is “Recommended” bundle and will be installed by default in the
DCOE, VSEOE and HAOE.
 OnlineJFS 4.1 is not default installed (as it was in past OEURs) and an explicit
software selection is required to install the same.
 VxVM version 5.0.1 is included in the September 2011 and later 11i v3 OEURs or
AR media. Explicit selection of VxVM version 5.0.1 in the Ignite-UX tool is required
to install the VxVM.
 To install or upgrade to March 2012 OEUR with a non-5.0.1 version of VxFS,
customized OEUR depots need to be created. The steps for creating the
customized OEUR depots are described in the following sections.
If you choose to install the 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 SP1 version of VxFS and VxVM (which are not
default included in March 2012 11i v3 OEUR) instead of the 5.0.1 version of VxFS and
VxVM (which is installed by default), this paper provides the instructions to install VxFS
or VxVM version 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 SP1 when cold installing (or updating from) the March
2012 11i v3 OEUR and later.
For more information on VxFS/VxVM 4.1 or 5.0 or 5.0.1 or 5.1 SP1 see the respective
version of the Release Notes. The release notes are available at:
