Chapter checklist

System requirements
To cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3, you must have the following: A supported system. See Supported systems (page 10) and Identifying the model (page 13). HP-UX 11i v3 OE and Application Software (also known as Application Release) DVDs. 1.5 GB memory, minimum.

NOTE: The minimum memory limit is intended for running the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE and minimal applications. Additional memory will be required for optimal performance, and optional software and applications. NOTE: If your system has the minimum amount of memory, you may need to manually set VxFS tunables for optimal performance after cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. See System tuning for VxFS (page 30).

Supported systems
For a list of HP systems that this release of HP-UX 11i v3 fully supports, see the HP-UX Server Support Matrix at the following website: www.hp.com/go/hpuxservermatrix Additional information about HP servers and blades can be found at the following websites: HP BladeSystem: http://www.hp.com/go/blades HP Integrity Server Family: http://www.hp.com/go/integrity HP 9000 Server Family: http://www.hp.com/go/hp9000

Determining disk space requirements

Depending on your systems purpose, you may need to determine how much disk space you will need for each partition/file system before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3. For example, if you plan to install applications from other vendors, you may need to modify the size of the /opt partition to accommodate their size. Depending on how much disk space is available, you can change the partition/file system size to meet your needs. For information about modifying your partition/file system, see the HP-UX System Administrators Guide (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). The list below provides additional hints and information to help you determine your disk needs for HP-UX 11i v3. If you need more disk space, be sure to order the equipment and plan on installing it after backing up your current system. Record the hardware path to the DVD drive. Develop a clear configuration plan, including: file system sizes Swap space size Dump device Disk and file system parameters Mirroring information If installing application programs other than those supplied within an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment (OE), consider the vendors size recommendations. When planning disk space, see the HP-UX System Administrators Guide. Composed of five volumes, this guide is available on the Instant Information DVD and at www.hp.com/go/ hpux-core-docs.

Assessing your system and meeting system requirements

Disk space requirements for a cold-install

The disk space requirements listed in Table 2-1 (page 11) are estimates only. Requirements may vary depending on the size of your disk, your type of server, and your Operating Environment. HP strongly advises you install all OS content on one disk, except for mirrors. That disk must be at least 20GB. Note the following: The table shows recommended minimums. Ignite-UX will enforce absolute minimums, but they are smaller than recommended sizes in some cases. Ignite-UX will consider available root disk space and adjust sizes to be larger. The Ignite-UX UI File System tab can be used to set specific sizes.

CAUTION: If the default size for the /stand partition is too small for your environment, do not use the lvextend command to increase the size of the /stand partition; doing so may render your system unbootable. Instead, use a Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) clone to create an inactive copy of the system on which /stand can be extended, or use Ignite-UX recovery to create a recovery image and resize the /stand partition. To use a DRD clone to extend /stand on an LVM-managed system, see the white paper Dynamic Root Disk: Quick Start and Best Practices (go to http://www.hp.com/go/drd and navigate from the right-side bar). Further information on DRD is available at the DRD website: http:// www.hp.com/go/drd. See also Reducing downtime using Dynamic Root Disk (page 29). You can boot from an Ignite-UX recovery image and resize /stand as you recover the system. For help creating a recovery image, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available at the Ignite-UX website: http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux. Table 2-1 Minimum disk space recommendations
Partition/file system / /stand /var /usr /tmp /opt /home /swap Itanium EFI System (Boot) Partition Itanium HP Service Partition
1

Recommended space 1 GB 1.5 GB 512MB + swap size 4 GB 500 MB 7 GB Depends on application and user requirements. It may make sense to mount a separate file system at /home.1 1x - 2x memory size for most systems. 500 MB 400 MB

In other words, you may want to put /home on a separate disk and separate volume group. This makes future recovery and upgrade operations easier. By default, /home is created as a separate filesystem; however, it is part of the root volume group.

Disk space requirements for an update

To ensure a successful update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that you have at least as much disk space allocated to the partition/file system listed in Table 2-1 (page 11) and that each partition/file
Determining disk space requirements 11

system (most importantly, /usr, /opt, and /var) has at least 10-20 percent free space to allow for any growth. Note the update process will check the disk space requirements. If the system doesn't meet the requirements, the update will not proceed.

Verifying supported network drivers, mass storage drivers, I/O cards, and storage devices
Before installing HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that the drivers, I/O cards, and storage devices on your system are supported. You can run the msv2v3check script to validate whether the drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices installed on your system are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. This script will report if any unsupported drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices are found on your system. This script will also check the minimum firmware versions required for these cards or devices. You can retrieve the msv2v3check script from the HP Software Depot (http://www.hp.com/go/ softwaredepot ). For more details on the msv2v3check script, see the white paper HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3 Mass Storage Stack Update Guide, available at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs For a list of supported and unsupported HP-UX I/O cards and mass storage devices, see the HP-UX Supported I/O Cards Matrix and the HP-UX Supported Mass Storage Devices Matrix (http:// www.docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html).

HP StorageWorks compatibility with HP-UX 1 v3 1i

For up-to-date status and recommended firmware versions for HP StorageWorks components supported with HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX 11i v3 and HP StorageWorks Compatibility section at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/hpuxconnectivitymatrix.html

Finding firmware
Make sure your system meets the minimum firmware requirements for the latest HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) release. HP recommends that you update to the latest firmware available before installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. You have several resources for finding out the latest firmware requirements, as well as getting the firmware itself: You can download firmware versions at the Business Support Center (http://hp.com/ bizsupport). Click Download drivers and software. Continue clicking the appropriate links for your product until you arrive at the link for firmware downloads. You can also search for your product's firmware requirements at the Business Support Center. Enter Firmware and the name of your hardware in the search box. Note that the results also return a GUI that you can use to further refine your search. To automatically receive email notices for the latest firmware updates, sign up each of your products for Subscribers Choice: Go to http://itrc.hp.com. Click Subscribe to proactive notifications and security bulletins. Fill out the next page as appropriate. For information about minimum firmware requirements for systems and I/O devices, see the System Firmware Matrixes - Minimum Firmware Requirements for HP-UX 11i v3, 11i v2 and PCI I/O Adapters (http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html).

Assessing your system and meeting system requirements

Identifying model, release, and installed software

Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3, you need to identify the model of your system and other information.

Identifying the model

To ensure you are using a supported system, check the model number. To determine the model number of your system, enter: model To verify that HP-UX 11i v3 is supported on your system, see Supported systems (page 10). For Itanium-based systems, you can identify the model by using the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI): interrupt the autoboot process in the boot manager, enter the EFI shell, and use the info sys command: Shell> info sys Information about the model is displayed. For example:
SYSTEM INFORMATION Product Name: server rx2600 Serial Number: sg20220034 UUID: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF

Identifying the release date and Operating Environment

To ensure you are following a supported update path, determine the release and Operating Environment currently on your system. Each HP-UX 11i release has an associated release name and release identifier. The uname(1) command with the -r option returns the release identifier. Table 2-2 lists the releases available for HP-UX 11i. Table 2-2 HP-UX 1 release identifiers 1i
Release identifier B.11.11 B.11.23 B.11.31
1

Release name HP-UX 11i v1 HP-UX 11i v2 HP-UX 11i v3

Supported processor architecture PA-RISC Intel Itanium and PA-RISC1 Intel Itanium and PA-RISC

PA-RISC is supported on HP-UX 11i v2 starting with the September 2004 release.

You can determine the update release date and the Operating Environment by entering the following: # swlist | grep HPUX11i The resulting output will list the current release identifier, update release date, and Operating Environment. For example: HPUX11i-BOE B.11.31.0903 HP-UX Base Operating Environment The above revision string signifies the following: B.11.31 = HP-UX 11i v3 0903 = March 2009 Update Release

Identifying installed software

Identifying installed software can serve more than one purpose: on your system, it can help you determine what software will get updated or overwritten; and on media, it can help you determine your software choices.
Identifying model, release, and installed software 13

To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For example, to show revision and descriptive title of all software installed on a system, enter: /usr/sbin/swlist For more information, see the swlist(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide, available on the Instant Information DVD or the web (http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs). NOTE: Third-party software may have been installed onto the system without using Software Distributor. If so, it will not appear in the output of swlist. You should consult your own documentation about the system to determine what other applications may be installed.

Choosing cold-install or update

Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 on your system.

When to cold-install
NOTE: If you have ordered a new system with the Instant Ignition option (also known as factory integrated), the cold-installation process described here has already been performed. You can skip this section. Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or existing system by completely rebuilding the root volume group, erasing the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the new operating system and specified software and data. CAUTION: The cold-install process erases software on the root volume before installing. If you want to retain any existing software, make sure to back up that software before migrating or use update. Cold-installing using Ignite-UX overwrites everything on the target volume. You can cold-install rather than update to HP-UX 11i v3 when: You have a new system. You are managing several systems with similar OS configurations. Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See Determining disk space requirements (page 10). Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from user, application, and data files. Overwriting the root (/) volume on existing systems will not cause a loss of applications or data. Your system configuration is not listed as a supported update path. See Supported update paths (page 17).

An advantage of cold-install is that supported software can be installed without regard for the software currently on the system, or concern for cleaning up old software. You can cold-install on any supported system. See Supported systems (page 10). For information about choosing installation and update sources, see Choosing an installation source (page 18). See Chapter 4: Before you begin (page 21) for more information about preparing your system for cold-install. Then read the cold-install process using Ignite-UX in Chapter 5: Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media (page 33).

When to update
Update means using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a DVD or network source depot. You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23). Updating from any other HP-UX OS directly to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported. You must first update to an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. If you want to migrate from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v3 by updating, see the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide for information on how to update from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2 first.

16

Choosing your installation methods

You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 when: You are updating from a supported HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 system. See Supported update paths (page 17) for specific details. You are concerned about recovering unique applications and data on your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files, which occurs when cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3. Each system has a unique configuration. Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v3. See Determining disk space requirements (page 10).

An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 is limited to the supported paths listed in Supported update paths (page 17). For information about choosing installation and update sources, see Choosing an installation source (page 18). See Chapter 4: Before you begin (page 21) for details on how to prepare your system to update to HP-UX 11i v3. The update process is described in Chapter 6: Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 45).

Supported update paths

Table 3-1 lists the supported update paths from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 and from the original HP-UX 11i v3 OEs to the new HP-UX 11i v3 OEs. Be sure also to read the following Update Path Notes [p. 17]. Table 3-1 Supported update paths

Update path notes

You cannot downgrade to a lower-level Operating Environment. Updating from a release of HP-UX to another release of HP-UX that was released earlier in time is not supported. For example, trying to update from HP-UX 11i v2 June 2007 release to the HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release is not supported. This could cause system incompatibilities and unpredictable results. If you attempt to update to an earlier version
Choosing cold-install or update 17

of HP-UX, the update process will stop without making any changes to your system and you will get the following error message:
ERROR: You are attempting to update from your release of HP-UX to a version of HP-UX that was released earlier in time. This is not supported. The update process has stopped without making any changes to your system. Please see the 'Supported Update Paths' section of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide for more information.

Choosing an installation source

When cold-installing or updating your systems, you have several installation sources from which to choose. You can cold-install or update directly from the DVDs, copy the contents of the DVDs into network depots, or create a golden image of the desired system for installing many similar systems. TIP: With Dynamic Root Disk (DRD), you can efficiently provision VMs and blades with a DRD clone. For more information, see Reducing downtime using Dynamic Root Disk (page 29).

Local media
Uses: Cold-install or update one system at a time. You can cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the media kit: HP-UX 11i v3 OE DVDs Boot and install a new system or update an existing system. HP-UX Software Applications (also known as AR) DVDs Install applications not installed with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application.

This guide describes cold-installs only on a single system from local media. It describes updates on a single system from local media, as well, but it also describes updates using a network depot.

HP Integrity Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 2 Virtual Media

With HP Integrity Integrated Lights Out Virtual Media (iLO 2 vMedia), you can remotely install software from CD, DVD, or ISO image file without having to be physically at the server. For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/integrityilo.

Network depot
Uses: Cold-install or update many systems in your enterprise. Avoid manual media swaps. Use Software Distributor (SD) commands to create depots containing the OE and other software, including patches and patch bundles. Then install or update from the depot using the latest version of Ignite-UX or Update-UX. For information, see Creating a network depot (optional) (page 28), as well as Software Distributor Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs) and the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs). Updates from network depots (along with updates from local media) are described in Chapter 6 (page 45). IMPORTANT: Be sure also to read the important information in Standard HP-UX patch bundles [p. 64].

Golden image
Uses:
18 Choosing your installation methods

Deploy a customized system configuration to many systems. Avoid manual media swaps. Speed up installation time for multiple systems. Simply put, a golden image is built by setting up a single system the way you want all of your systems to look, and then creating an image of that system. Once a golden image has been created, it is then deployed to multiple clients. This method allows you to deploy a known-good system image that contains all of the files including configuration files that you want installed, and it is also faster the standard SD-built network depots (as described in Network depot (page 18)). For more information about golden images, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs).

Reviewing known problems

Before beginning any cold-install or update process, you should review the descriptions of harmless messages and known problems provided for you in this guide (Appendix A: Harmless messages and known problems (page 75)) and in the DVD booklet, HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating (also available at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.) These known problems notes include, but are not limited to, issues with cold-installing and/or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. You may also find other late-breaking news of issues at the ITRC (http://itrc.hp.com) and by subscribing to Subscriber's Choice. At the ITRC, click Subscribe to proactive notifications and security bulletins.

Locating source media and codewords

Before you can cold-install or update, you must locate the source media needed for the process. The DVDs available in the media kit are described in Media kit contents (page 8). You can obtain a codeword for a purchased product by contacting one of the HP licensing services listed in Table 4-1.

Reviewing the software bundle install types

The structure HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments has been broken down into categories and install types to make installing and updating easier and more flexible. For more information about this structure, see HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment install/update structure (page 91). You should familiarize yourself with the install types (required, recommended, and optional) before you start the cold-install or update process.

Backing up your system

Any data on the client disks that are used for installation, including the operating system, are removed entirely as part of the installation process. Make a recovery image of your system so you can easily restore it to its original state if a problem occurs. Back up your system before and after performing a cold-installation or update. Backing up your system consists of two parts: Part I: Creating an operating system recovery image Part II: Backing up your data files

22

Before you begin

Part I: Creating an operating system recovery image

To protect your system data, create an operating system (OS) recovery image: The Ignite-UX server has two commands you can use to create an OS recovery image: make_net_recovery Create an OS recovery image and store it on an Ignite-UX server on the network. Works on any system that has Ignite-UX installed. See Choosing make_net_recovery (page 23). make_tape_recovery Create an OS recovery image on a bootable recovery tape. Works on any system that has a local tape drive and Ignite-UX installed. Also works on any system without an Ignite-UX server. See Choosing make_tape_recovery (page 23).

NOTE: To include the entire contents of the root volume group instead of just a minimal OS, HP recommends using the-A option to both make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery. The Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) toolset can also be used to create a clone of the current root volume group. In the event of a failed upgrade or issues after cold-installing, you can boot from the clone to quickly recover the system: drd clone Create an OS image on a free local or SAN disk. Works on any system that has the DRD toolset installed. See Choosing drd clone (page 24).

IMPORTANT: The Ignite-UX recovery tools and DRD toolset are intended to be used in conjunction with data recovery applications to create a means of total system recovery. HP recommends against using Ignite-UX or DRD as backup solutions. They should only be used as part of a recovery or availability strategy.

Choosing make_net_recovery
The Ignite-UX product has the make_net_recovery command to create an OS recovery image on another system on the network. The image created by make_net_recovery is specific to the system it was created for and its identity includes host name, IP address, networking information, and so on. In the event of root disk failure, you use the Ignite-UX server to restore the system by installing the OS recovery image. The contents of the OS recovery image always includes all files and directories that are essential to bringing up a functional system. This essential list is predefined by make_net_recovery. For more information on using make_net_recovery, see the make_net_recovery(1M) manpage or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs).

Choosing make_tape_recovery
The Ignite-UX products make_tape_recovery command creates a bootable OS recovery tape for a system while it is up and running. When a system has a logical volume layout, the recovery tape (by default) only includes data from the root volume group, plus data from any non-root volume group containing the /usr directory. You can run make_tape_recovery locally on the system from which you are trying to make an OS recovery tape. Data that is not in the root volume group must be backed up and recovered using normal backup utilities.

Backing up your system

23

For more information on using make_tape_recovery, see the make_tape_recovery( 1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs).

Choosing drd clone

The drd clone command allows you to create an OS recovery image, referred to as an inactive clone, on a free internal or SAN disk. For recovery purposes, all you need to run is drd clone t target_dsf where target_dsf is the device special file of the spare disk. In the event that the update to HP-UX 11i v3 on the active system does not go as planned, you can activate and boot the HP-UX 11i v2 clone in minutes by entering: drd activate x reboot=true If you do activate and boot the HP-UX 11i v2 clone, then decide to re-activate the HP-UX 11i v3 image on the original disk, you can use the same drd activate command noted above, as the use of this command will toggle between the original disk and the clone disk. NOTE: Once you have updated from 11i v2 to 11i v3 on the active system image, you can go back and forth between the inactive 11i v2 image and the updated 11i v3 image by ensuring the following: When an HP-UX 11i v2 system is booted and HP-UX 11i v3 is installed on the inactive image, you should not use any sw* commands with drd runcmd. Use of this operation would invoke 11i v3 libraries and executables, which can make system calls not supported on the 11i v2 kernel. When an HP-UX 11i v3 system is booted and HP-UX 11i v2 is installed on the inactive image, you can run drd runcmd swlist or drd runcmd swverify; however, you cannot run any other sw* commands. The drd clone contains all files and directories in the root volume, and thus has all the components that are essential to bringing up a functional system. In addition to system recovery, DRD has other uses, all of which can reduce downtime. These include system maintenance, patching, testing, and provisioning. See Reducing downtime using Dynamic Root Disk (page 29) for more information, including links to documentation and a website.

Part II: Backing up your data files

Depending on your system backup needs and your configuration, there are a number of different backup methods from which to choose. Two possible backup methods are as follows: HP Data Protector HP-UX fbackup/frecover utilities

Choosing HP Data Protector for backup

If you are backing up large numbers of systems, the HP Data Protector software product can be particularly useful. HP Data Protector is faster than other backup methods and provides for unattended backup as well. It allows you to efficiently centralize and administer backup procedures. Using HP Data Protector involves setting up a database server and running software that directs and records the backup process for clients. For more information, see the HP Data Protector website (http://hp.com/go/dataprotector).

24

Before you begin

Choosing HP-UX fbackup/frecover utilities

Use the fbackup and frecover commands to selectively back up and recover files. The fbackup command can do the following: Indicate specific files or directories to include or exclude from a backup Specify different levels of backup on a daily, a weekly, or monthly basis Create an online index file The frecover command restores backup files made using the fbackup utility. The -r option to the frecover command is generally used for recovering all files from your backup; the -x option is used for restoring individual files to your system. For complete details, see the frecover (1M) and fbackup (1M) manpages.

Selecting your HP-UX console for Itanium-based systems

You can skip this section if you are cold-installing on a PA-RISC system (it applies only to Itanium-based systems) or you are already on the system console. If you are cold-installing HP-UX or changing your system configuration, you will need to select the correct console. If you have more than one possible console device (such as a graphics adapter and a console serial device) and you have not configured your system console correctly, your installation session may appear to hang as you may be looking for output from the wrong device. Even if you have ordered a machine with HP-UX pre-installed, you will want to choose your console, despite the factory defaults. Depending on the firmware level of your Integrity server, you can select your primary HP-UX console using one the following methods: The EFI conconfig command (if present) The EFI Boot Manager

NOTE: If you select either a system or an MP/iLO serial port, HP recommends you choose a VT100-capable terminal device. Serial port, MP/iLO and VGA device paths can vary between each Itanium-based system. See the appropriate platform documentation for your product for information on determining the device paths. You can find more information on the EFI Paths used for console selection in the Intel Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) documents available from the Intel website.

Determining if the conconfig command exists on your system

To decide which method to use, first determine if the conconfig command exists on your system. 1. At the EFI prompt, enter the following command: Shell> conconfig If the command exists, the system may return output similar to the following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION Index Primary Type 1 P Serial 2 S VGA Device Path Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2) Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)

Selecting your HP-UX console for Itanium-based systems

25

The above is an example of factory defaults. As you will see later in these steps, one of these devices will have to be configured as primary (P); the other will have to be configured with a status of Not Configured (NC). 2. If the command does not exist, the system will return the error message: conconfig not found. Depending on whether the conconfig command is available at the EFI shell, use either the conconfig command or the EFI Boot Manager to select your primary HP-UX console.

Using the conconfig command to select the primary HP-UX console

If you have the conconfig command on your system, then you can take the following steps to select the primary HP-UX console. (For more information on the conconfig command, enter help conconfig at the EFI prompt.) IMPORTANT: Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v3 recognizes only one device at a time. Choosing more than one device can result in the appearance of a system hang. A warning message may also be issued. 1. Enter conconfig at the command line. You may see output similar to the following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION Index Primary Type 1 P Serial 2 NC VGA Device Path Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2) Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)

2.

Decide which console you want to use. Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the following devices as your system console: System Serial Port (if present) iLO (MP) Serial Port VGA device (MP/iLO)

3.

Use the conconfig command to select your primary console. For example, to select system serial port as your primary console, enter the following at the command line: Shell> conconfig 1 primary Next, use the conconfig to deselect all other consoles so that only one console is marked P and all others are marked NC. For example, if your conconfig output looks like the following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION Index Primary Type 1 P Serial 2 S VGA Device Path Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2) Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)

4.

Enter: Shell> conconfig 2 off Now your conconfig output should look like this:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION Index Primary Type 1 P Serial 2 NC VGA Device Path Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2) Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)

Note that the unwanted VGA device in line 2 has the status of NC and the primary console in line 1 has the status of P. 5. Enter: Shell> reset
26 Before you begin

Using the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console
To use the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console, proceed with the following steps. 1. Decide what console you want to use. Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the following devices as your system console: 2. System Serial Port (if present) iLO (MP) Serial Port VGA device (MP/iLO)

Using the EFI menu, do the following: a. Open the EFI Boot Manager. b. Under Boot Menu, select Boot Configuration. c. On the Boot Configuration screen, select Console Configuration. d. On the Console Configuration screen, select one device as your system console. The device you have selected should have a status of P; all others should have a status of NC. NOTE: The following figure shows consoles with a primary (P) status and secondary (S) status. This would not be correct for your configuration. You should select only one device for a P status. The rest should be given an NC status. Only one active console should be configured; otherwise, HP-UX may either fail to boot or boot with output directed to the wrong location.

e. f.

Press Esc to return to the boot option maintenance menu. Select Cold Reset to reset your system.

Mounting and unmounting the DVD

Mounting the DVD
For some tasks, you may need to mount the DVD as a file system. To do so, take the following steps: 1. 2. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive. Find the DVD-ROM device file name: ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more
Mounting and unmounting the DVD 27

A typical device name is /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 3. 4. Create a directory under root (/). For example: mkdir /dvdrom Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example: mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom

Unmounting the DVD

You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD drive. For example: umount /dvdrom Note the DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots. For more information about mounting and unmounting, see the mount(1M) and umount(1M) manpages.

Creating a network depot (optional)

You can create a network depot if you intend to cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3 on other systems on the network. A network depot allows you to cold-install or update all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. You can also create a network depot if you want to avoid manually swapping media in a single system. IMPORTANT: Also see the important information in Standard HP-UX patch bundles [p. 64].

As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot and copy all products from the HP-UX 11i v3 multiple DVD set to it: 1. Verify that you have at least 10 GB of free space to create the network depot on another system in your network. If this space is not available, use smh either to create a new volume group or to extend an existing volume group. For help, see the SMH help or the HP-UX System Administrators Guide (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). The HP-UX 11i v3 OE comes as a multiple DVD set. Mount the first (or next) DVD. (For instructions, see Mounting and unmounting the DVD (page 27).) Create the directory that will contain the network depot you want to create. For example: mkdir /var/11iv3 4. Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the target depot. For example, to copy the products to the target depot called update-depot, enter the following command: swcopy -s /dvdrom \* @ /var/11iv3/update-depot NOTE: depot. 5. 6. Make sure you copy all products from every HP-UX 11i v3 DVD to your target

2. 3.

Unmount the DVD. (For instructions, see Mounting and unmounting the DVD (page 27).) For each additional DVD in the OE media set, replace the media in the DVD drive with the next DVD. Then repeat steps 2 and 4.

Messages: errors, warnings, and notes

While the HP-UX 11i v3 install or update progresses, you will see progress messages that are being entered into the log file. These messages usually refer to normal behavior. The ERROR, WARNING, and NOTE messages, however, have the following significance: ERROR Indicates a serious problem, usually requiring action from you so that the installation can proceed.

28

Before you begin

WARNING NOTE

Indicates something out of the ordinary, but not fatal. The warning may require action from you. Indicates useful information you should take note of, but not fatal. The note does not require action from you.

NOTE: For information about harmless messages currently known to appear, see Messages you can ignore (page 76).

Special considerations
In this section, you will find several situations and scenarios that you should give careful consideration before cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. These situations may affect the decisions you make during the next steps in the cold-install and update process.

Reducing downtime using Dynamic Root Disk

With the HP-UX system administration toolset, Dynamic Root Disk (DRD), you can clone an HP-UX system image to an inactive disk. Then you can: perform system maintenance on the clone while your HP-UX 11i system is online update from an older version of HP-UX 11i v3 to HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 (Update 4) or later quickly re-boot during off hours once the desired changes have been made utilize the clone for system recovery, if needed rehost the clone on another system for testing or provisioning purposes (on VMs or blades utilizing Virtual Connect; LVM only)

NOTE: Rehosting capabilities for HP-UX 11i v2 are different than for those of HP-UX 11i v3. For information, see the Dynamic Root Disk System Administrator's Guide for HP-UX 11i v2, 11i v3 (go to http://www.hp.com/go/drd and navigate from the right-side bar). Administrators can use DRD to reduce downtime for system maintenance by creating an inactive clone of the booted system, then applying patches and products to the clone. The modified clone can then be booted at a convenient time. DRD supports both HP Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and Veritas (VxVM) root volumes, except where specifically noted above, and runs on both HP-UX 11i v2 and v3. For information about using a drd clone for creating an OS recovery image, see Choosing drd clone (page 24). The HP-UX Dynamic Root Disk website at http://www.hp.com/go/drd provides a product overview, download links, documentation links, and installation instructions.

Securing your system when installing and updating

When installing and updating, you can harden your system by choosing from a variety of security levels to ensure that your system is in a secured state. HP-UX Bastille provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis by encoding functionality similar to Bastion Host and other hardening and lock-down checklists. HP-UX Bastille (HPUXBastille) is included as recommended (default-installed) software on the OE DVD.

Choosing security levels

The Install-Time Security (ITS) options include the HP-UX Bastille security lock-down engine. The interactive GUI helps you select the configuration that meets your operational needs. You can choose from four preconfigured levels of security, each with an incrementally higher level:
Special considerations 29

Sec00Tools

Installs the security infrastructure. Does not implement any security changes during installation or updating, but ensures the required software is installed. The higher security levels are dependent on Sec00Tools. Recommended (default-installed). Installs a host-based lock-down system. Most network services are disabled, but they can be reinstated by running the bastille(1M) command. Optional (customer-selectable). Installs a managed lock-down system that blocks most incoming traffic with an HP-UX IPFilter firewall. Optional. Installs a DMZ full host-based and IPFilter network lock down. HP-UX IPFilter blocks most incoming connections, except HP-UX Secure Shell.Optional.

Sec10Host

Sec20MngDMZ Sec30DMZ

You can change these security settings after installing or updating your system. For more information about HP-UX Bastille, including security levels, see the HP-UX Bastille Version B3.2 User Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html). IMPORTANT: Due to increased system hardening requirements, some locked-down services and protocols might be used by other applications and have adverse effects on the behavior or functionality of these applications. For more information about configuring HP Serviceguard with HP-UX Bastille and IPFilter, see the HP-UX Bastille B.3.2 User Guide.

Installing VxFS and VxVM

Starting with the September 2009 OEUR, the default-install of VxFS has changed from 4.1 to 5.0 and VxVM 4.1 has been replaced by VxVM 5.0. This has important implications for several install scenarios. For instructions and information about how this impacts you, consult Appendix B: Installing VxFS and VxVM (page 87).

System tuning for VxFS

If your system has the minimum amount of memory, you may need to manually set VxFS tunables for optimal performance after cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. Two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, have an effect on system memory consumption. For guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM, see the Veritas File System 4.1 Administrator's Guide at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.

Next generation mass storage stack

Mass storage stack for HP-UX 1 v3 1i
HP-UX 11i v3 introduces a new representation of mass storage devices, known as the agile view. In the agile view, disk devices and tape drives are identified by the actual object, not by a hardware path to the object. In addition, paths to the device can change dynamically and multiple paths to a single device can be transparently treated as a single virtualized path, with I/O being distributed across those multiple paths. In HP-UX 11i v3, there are three different types of paths to a device: legacy hardware path, lunpath hardware path, and LUN hardware path. All three are numeric strings of hardware components, with each number typically representing the location of a hardware component on the path to the device. The new agile view increases the reliability, adaptability, performance, and scalability of the mass storage stack, all without the need for operator intervention. For more information, see the white papers The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 and HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs ).

Before you begin

HP-UX 1 v3 device special files (DSF) 1i

In a similar way to hardware paths, there are two types of Device Special Files (DSFs) for mass storage: legacy DSFs and persistent DSFs. Both can be used to access a given mass storage device independently, and can coexist on a given system. DSFs: installing and updating If you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically created. By default, the installation process will configure system devices like the boot, root, swap, and dump devices to use persistent DSFs. This means that configuration files such as/etc/fstab, /etc/ lvmtab, and others will contain references to persistent DSFs. When you update from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, existing legacy DSFs are retained and persistent DSFs will be created. Configuration files are not updated to use agile DSFs. HP-UX will continue to use the existing legacy DSFs referenced in configuration files. Legacy DSFs are completely backward compatible, and will not be affected by any persistent DSFs on the same server. A device can be simultaneously accessed via legacy and persistent DSFs. For more information, including definitions of legacy and persistent, see The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 and HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).

Preparing to cold-install
The following sections describe the initial steps you should take before proceeding with your installation. Also included is a graphic overview of the cold-install process. CAUTION: The cold-install process overwrites everything on all disks selected to participate in the installation. Make sure you have reviewed and completed the steps in Backing up your system (page 22).

Completing the preliminary tasks

Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that: You have assessed the current state of your system and have met all the requirements described in Chapter 2: Assessing your system and meeting system requirements (page 9). You have chosen the most appropriate installation methods and sources described in Chapter 3: Choosing your installation methods (page 15) You have completed the steps (especially backing up your system) and have reviewed the special situations described in Chapter 4: Before you begin (page 21).

Reviewing the cold-install process

Figure 5-1 (page 35) shows the overall process of cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media. You can also cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 from network depots and from golden images. For more information on these alternative methods of cold-installing, see Choosing an installation source (page 18).

Installing the latest Ignite-UX

You should use the latest version of Ignite-UX (version C.7.3 or later) to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3. Get the latest Ignite-UX version from the Ignite-UX website (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux).

Backing up your configuration files

If you plan to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on a system that already has HP-UX installed, and you want to have that system serve the same role as it did before, then you will want to preserve your configuration files. Such files include the following: Configuration files in /etc The contents of /usr/local Any local home directories (that is, those you do not import from another system) Any configuration files located in the /etc/opt directories for installed software

Collecting information about your system

Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, you should collect information about your existing system. Then, when you are installing HP-UX 11i v3, you will have the information available when needed. This section contains tables where you can record the information.

Preparing to cold-install

35

Use the collection tables in the following situations: When you choose the Advanced Installation (the default Ignite-UX option starting with version C.7.5), an interface gives you the opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning of the install. The interface is a tabbed file folder and is character-based. If you choose to network-enable your system, you must designate a unique host name, host Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other network information for your server. Contact your site network administrator for the details to include in these tables. NOTE: During an installation, Ignite-UX configures the root, dump, and swap devices with the new HP-UX 11i v3 mass storage stack agile addressing representation. This means that, after installing, the commands that display the boot, dump, and swap devices will show them using the agile form. During a cold-install of HP-UX 11i v3, both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically created. By default, the installation process will configure system devices like the boot, root, swap, and dump devices to use persistent DSFs. For more information on the new mass storage stack, see the white paper The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).

Miscellaneous data collection table

Table 5-1 may contain some items that are not familiar to you, but you will be prompted for this information during the install. However, the install process describes all options in detail, so you can defer making decisions about items that are unfamiliar to you until you reach that point in the install. Table 5-1 Miscellaneous data
Type of data Root Disk Path NOTE: Your root disk will typically display a legacy style Path name. However, HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming scheme for Root Disks. See the white paper The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 for information on how to identify your legacy root disk device name in the agile HP-UX 11i v3 naming scheme. You can display the legacy hardware path using the More Info screen to show details on a specific lunpath hardware path.

Creating a network depot (optional)

You can create a network depot if you intend to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on other systems on the network. A network depot allows you to cold-install all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. You can also create a network depot if you want to avoid manually swapping media in a single system. For instructions on creating a network depot, see Creating a network depot (optional) (page 28).

Proceeding with the installation

The following sections describe the stages in cold-installing from the Operating Environment (OE) DVDs.

Booting from the Operating Environment media

To begin, boot your system from the OE DVD. For specific instructions, choose one of the following subsections appropriate for your system: Booting Your Itanium-based system (page 38) Booting your PA-RISC system (page 38)

After booting your system, proceed to Customizing your installation (page 39).

Proceeding with the installation

37

NOTE: The cold-install process may involve multiple media swaps. To avoid manually swapping media, use a network depot. For information, see Network depot (page 18).

Booting Your Itanium-based system

1. 2. 3. Make sure any external devices that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the drive. Turn the system on, reboot, or cycle power. If the system boots automatically, the kernel scans the system for I/O devices. If the system does not boot automatically, it goes to the boot menu. It is a timed menu; press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run the install manually from the EFI shell using the following steps: a. b. From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built In). At the EFI shell prompt, specify the device name (for example, fs1:) for the DVD-ROM and then enter the EFI install command, as in the following example. NOTE: Your DVD device may not always be fs1. Make sure you verify the ID appropriate to your DVD device. If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for the DVD-ROM and then execute install. For example, from the EFI shell prompt, you may see something similar to the following:
Shell> fs1: fs1:\> install

If you do not see the DVD-ROM device, use the map command to list all device names from the EFI shell prompt. If you change the DVD in the drive after going to the EFI shell, you must run the command map -r to allow EFI to locate the bootable DVD in the drive The list of devices is displayed automatically, and the install process selects the device for you. After the kernel has booted, it scans the system for I/O devices.

Booting your PA-RISC system

1. 2. 3. 4. Make sure any external devices that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the drive. Stop the autoboot by pressing any key. The boot console menu is displayed. If you need help, enter: HELP. Ensure that Fast Boot is enabled. a. Select the Configuration Menu: CO b. If the Fast Boot selection is available, switch Fast Boot ON: FB ON The full memory check that is run when Fast Boot is OFF may take several hours on a large system. (Remember to switch Fast Boot back OFF after installing HP-UX 11i.) c. 5. Return to the Main Menu: MA Search for bootable devices, using the choices displayed (for example, enter search or sea).

38

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media

NOTE: The search or sea command will only display legacy hardware paths and will not display agile hardware paths. You will see the agile hardware path after booting your system. Note that both forms of hardware paths are supported (legacy and agile) and you can specify either hardware path in the Boot command. However, only the legacy hardware path can be displayed from the Search command. For more information on agile hardware paths, see the white paper The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). Output similar to this is displayed:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > sea all Searching for potential boot device(s) This may take several minutes. To discontinue search, press any key (termination may not be immediate).

Path# ----P1 P2 P3

Device Path (dec) ----------------0/0/0/2/1.2 1/0/0/2/0.6 1/0/0/2/1.3

Device Type ----------Random access media Random access media Sequential access media

IODC Rev ---4 4 4

NOTE: On partitionable systems only the core cell is searched by default. If you want to search all cells, you can use the all option to the sea command or provide a cell number to search. Using the all option may take a significant amount of time if a large number of I/O devices are connected to the system. The valid options to the sea command for the system you are using will be shown when you interrupt the boot process to gain access to the BCH prompt. 6. For a legacy hardware path, boot from the DVD drive using the listed path number. Note that if you know the agile hardware path, you may enter it as well. However, it requires a specific format compatible with the BCH interface limited to 32-bit elements. Use the command ioscan -e to display the boot path format to be used here to enter a lunpath hardware path in the BOOT command. For an agile hardware path, boot from the DVD drive using the full agile hardware path name: BOOT full_hardware_path 7. After a few minutes, at the Interact with IPL? prompt, press n. The install kernel loads (3-5 minutes), after which a screen might prompt you to enter the keyboard language of your console. 8. Enter the number and press Enter again to confirm.

Customizing your installation

Once the system is booted, it displays the Ignite-UX Welcome screen for the HP-UX installation process.

Navigation tips
The following tips will help you navigate the installation interface: Use the Tab key to navigate between fields and the arrow keys to navigate within fields. Pressing Enter or the spacebar opens a menu list. Use the Enter key to select an item.
Proceeding with the installation 39

For Help, use Ctrl-K for navigation-key help and Ctrl-F (or F1) for context-sensitive help. You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as I for install HP-UX) to navigate more quickly.

The remainder of this section describes how to choose the degree of customization needed to configure your installation. 1. If the installation detects that you have a PS2 or USB keyboard, the system displays the Language Mapping screen. Select the number of the language you want to use (such as 26 for US English) and then press Enter to confirm your choice. From the Ignite-UX Welcome screen, select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install) program and then press Enter. The system displays the User Interface and Media Options window. From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree of customizing needed to configure the installation. Mark your choices and select OK. a. Select from one of the three choices shown in Source Location Options: Media only installation is the default setting for installing from a DVD. (This document only provides the procedures for cold-installing from media.) Media with network enabled is recommended when you want basic networking enabled during installation so you can load software from a network depot (when an Ignite-UX server is not available). Ignite-UX server based installation is recommended if you have an Ignite-UX server configured on your network and you want to supply custom configurations during the installation. Select from one of the choices shown in User Interface Options: Advanced Installation enables you to accept all the default installation parameters or fully customize your system such as configuring multiple disks and adjusting file system sizes. HP recommends choosing the Advanced Installation option to configure your installation. No User Interface is recommended if you want to accept all the default installation parameters and you do not need to verify the configuration using the user interface.

b.

The remaining sections take you through the Media only installation option and the Advanced Installation option. For more help on using the Advanced Installation screens, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs).

Configuring your installation

At this point, the system displays the Basic tab of the Ignite-UX itool Terminal User Interface (TUI) for the HP-UX Advanced Installation process. The Basic tab shows all the basic information for setting up the file system and for loading the Operating Environment. It also allows you to configure languages, locale, and keyboard requirements. 1. 2. 3. In the Configurations field, select an overall system configuration that you want to use for this installation. In the Environments field, select the type of Operating Environment you want to install on your system. Press Enter to view the choices. In the Root Disk field, select the disk to store your root file system. Press Enter to view the choices. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep the default selection that has been determined by Ignite-UX. HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming scheme for Root Disks. Note that the Root Disk screen displays the lunpath hardware path instead of the legacy hardware path. You can select More Info to view the legacy hardware path for the root disk selected.

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media

For further information, including disk requirements, supported peripherals, and preparing the client for installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs). NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify the Root Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then be used as boot path. Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath hardware path to the disk used as boot path. 4. 5. In the File System field, select the type of volume manager and file system you want to use for your root disk. Press Enter to view the choices. In the Languages field, press Enter to browse the available languages, marking the desired selections. You can make any of the selections your system default language. This will become the system default language after it is installed. Make sure HPUXLocales is marked Yes. The locale settings that were previously in HP-UX 11i v2 and located in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) language bundle are now located in the HPUXLocales bundle. The HPUXLocales bundle contains internationalization support for many languages. This support includes date and time formats, currency, sorting methods, and so on. NOTE: CDE is an optional product in HP-UX 11i v3. If you require it, you must explicitly select the CDE bundle (CDE-xxx). This applies if you need dtterm, which is located in CDE. For some localization situations, dtterm is required; therefore CDE must be selected. 6. Use the Software tab to change the software that will be installed on your system, if desired. If you choose the No User Interface option, then you cannot deselect the recommended (default-installed) software bundles. To select or deselect the software bundles: a. b. Navigate to the Software tab. Select any optional software that you want loaded onto your system and deselect any recommended (default-installed) software that you do not want. Browse the list, marking your selections. Use the arrow keys to select a bundle and the spacebar to change the option. The bundles and associated product names are listed in Appendix C: HP-UX 11i v3 software bundles contained in the OEs (page 91). For information about new and changed products and features, see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes appropriate for the release you are cold-installing. The document is available on the Instant Information DVD and on the web (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended (default-installed) software bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment. Software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning correctly. Installing HP-UX 11i v3 installs a minimum set of default networking and mass storage drivers that apply to the system. You may need to select or specify other available networking and mass storage drivers to enable other cards on your system.

Proceeding with the installation

41

7.

Use the System tab to configure system parameters such as security levels, host name, IP address, root password, and the time zone. You must set the appropriate security setting for your system at this time. You can choose to set the other system parameters now or at the first boot of your system, using set_parms(1M). To set the appropriate security settings for your system, do the following. IMPORTANT: You should become familiar with the security levels before you set them. For more information about setting appropriate security levels, see Securing your system when installing and updating (page 29). a. b. c. Navigate to the System tab and select Security Choices. The four security levels appear. By default, Sec00Tools is selected. Select the appropriate security setting for your system. Select OK.

8.

Use the File System tab to perform a variety of file system and disk-configuration tasks: for example, resizing file systems, and adding and removing disks. You can also reconfigure the volume structure and associated file system mount points. The File System tab will differ in appearance, depending on whether you previously selected LVM or whole disk on the Basic tab. Note that renaming or changing any disk file system structure on which Ignite-UX installs file system content causes the old file system on that disk to be lost. For more information on using the File System tab, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/ go/ignite-ux-docs).

9.

Use the Show Summary button to view a summary of how your system will be configured. If you see any problems, or want to change any of your selections, back up to the appropriate step, and make the needed changes. Otherwise, select Go! (at the bottom of the screen) to initiate the installation. Ignite-UX executes a pre-installation consistency check to identify any errors that must be corrected before the installation can proceed.

10. The system typically displays the Confirmation Dialog box that lists errors, warnings, and notes for the configuration settings. (For information on these messages, see Messages: errors, warnings, and notes (page 28).) Review any errors, warnings, or notes displayed in the Confirmation Dialog box. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved before the installation can continue. Warning messages will list which disks (ones that currently contain a recognized file system) will be overwritten during the install process. If you see a disk in the list that you do not want included, back up to the root disk selection and choose another disk. If the settings are correct, continue on to the next step. 11. After you have reviewed all of the information on the Confirmation Dialog box and resolved any errors, select Go! (at the bottom of the screen) to initiate the installation. As the installation proceeds, you will see a log detailing output from the software installation. After the software is installed, the system will reboot prior to configuring the software and once again after installation is complete. If your system was factory integrated, or if you chose to set the system parameters at the first boot of your system, the system will power down after the installation and ask for these system parameters at the next boot of your system.

42

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media

Finishing your installation

Reboot your system. The Welcome to HP-UX screen is displayed and you will be prompted through a series of screens. You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system. 1. To use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26. You are prompted to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network. If you completed the pre-install data collection tables (see Collecting information about your system (page 35)), you have all the information you need for set_parms, so answer Y for yes. Enter the basic network information that you collected in Table 5-1: Miscellaneous data on the screens that are displayed. Confirm your choices. You are now finished with the install procedures and presented with a login screen. Log in to the system as root.

2.

3. 4.

Completing the cold-install process

The following section describes a task you may need to take to complete your cold-install process. Upon completing this task (if necessary), proceed to the next chapters: (optional) Chapter 7: Installing applications and patches (page 61) Chapter 8: Post-install/update tasks and troubleshooting (page 67)

TIP: After completing the installation, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may need them later to install additional drivers or other software.

Retrieving configuration files after cold-installing

If you previously saved your configuration files on another system (see Backing up your configuration files (page 35)), you can now retrieve them.

Creating a new root home directory

Consider creating a root home directory that is not /. Doing this keeps the user root dot files out of the / directory. Make sure it is on the root volume by calling it something like /homeroot. Doing this is especially important if you are using Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and /home is a separate volume. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Log in as root. Except on trusted systems, edit /etc/passwd to change the home directory from root to /homeroot and save it. Create the /homeroot directory: mkdir /homeroot Move roots personal files (files beginning with . ) to /homeroot: mv /.[^.]* /homeroot Exit and log in again as root.

Recovering customized and personal files

Recover all the customized and personal files that you saved previously by merging them manually. For example, do not overwrite /etc/passwd with your old version. Instead, either paste in entries from your old files or merge the old information into the new files.
Completing the cold-install process 43

Restoring /home
If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows: For instance, if you copied it to /backup/system1/home, enter these commands: cd /backup/system1/home find . -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter: frecover -x -i /system1/home -v

Restoring other files

Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories, such as /usr, /local, and /opt. For help in importing entire volume groups, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Logical Volume Management (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).

Preparing to update
The following sections describe the initial steps you should take before proceeding with your update. Also included is a graphic overview of the update process.

Completing the preliminary tasks

Before you update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that: You have assessed the current state of your system and have met all the requirements described in Chapter 2: Assessing your system and meeting system requirements (page 9). You have chosen the most appropriate update methods and sources described in Chapter 3: Choosing your installation methods (page 15) You have completed the steps (especially backing up your system) and have reviewed the special situations described in Chapter 4: Before you begin (page 21).

Reviewing the update process

Figure 6-1 (page 46) shows the overall update process. You can update your system from a network depot or from local media. Both methods are described in this chapter. Figure 6-1 Updating to HP-UX 1 v3 1i

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

Saving a list of software on the system

Before you start the update process, it may be helpful to save a list of software on the system: 1. List the bundles and products installed on your system. Make sure to save the output of the swlist command so you can reference it later. /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product>/tmp/software_list 2. After updating to HP-UX 11i v3, run the swlist command again and compare the output to the output you saved from step 1 to determine what software products and bundles still need to be updated.

Rebuilding the kernel

The update can fail if the HP-UX kernel build fails in the starting environment. To ensure that you have a reliable starting point, rebuild the kernel before you update: 1. 2. 3. As root, enter: /usr/sbin/mk_kernel o /stand/vmunix Fix any problems listed in the mk_kernel output. Reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel boots.

Renaming your log files

You should also rename your log files to make it easier to find problems encountered during an update. 1. 2. 3. 4. Enter: cd /var/adm/sw As root, rename each log file. For example: mv swagent.log swagent_old.log Enter: cd /var/opt/swm Enter: mv swm.log swm_old.log

Creating a network depot (optional)

You can create a network depot if you intend to update other systems on the network. A network depot allows you to update all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. You can also create a network depot if you want to avoid manually swapping media in a single system. For instructions on creating a network depot, see Creating a network depot (optional) (page 28).

Installing the latest Update-UX

If you are updating from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3, HP recommends that you manually install the latest HP-UX 11i v3 version of Update-UX before performing your update. This new version of Update-UX provides defect fixes and enhancements not found on the HP-UX 11i v2 version of Update-UX. For example, the HP-UX 11i v3 version of Update-UX allows you to use the preview (-p) option (new for HP-UX 11i v3), and it provides the latest manpage for the update-ux command. You should install the Update-UX product (which includes the update-ux command) that is included on the Operating Environment DVDs that came with your HP-UX 11i v3 release.

Preparing to update

47

From the DVD media

To install the Update-UX product from the Operating Environment DVDs: 1. 2. Mount the DVD. (For instructions, see Mounting and unmounting the DVD (page 27).) Using swinstall, install the latest version of the Update-UX product on the target system: swinstall -s /dvdrom Update-UX NOTE: Make sure you use the correct case to install the Update-UX product (in title case). This product contains the update-ux command (lowercase).

From a depot
The depot example uses the following syntax: depot_server:depot_path. For example: swinstall -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update-depot Update-UX

Updating tips
Table 6-1 provides tips, recommendations, and cautionary information for the update process. Table 6-1 Updating tips
Topic Multiple media swaps may be required Running other commands All software does not get updated and some products may be removed Tip The update process may involve multiple media swaps. To avoid manually swapping media, use a network depot. For information, see Creating a network depot (optional) (page 28). During the update process, be careful when running other commands; doing so may cause the commands to function improperly. Update-UX updates the HP-UX OS and any software specified in additional software bundles available on the source media or depot. Update-UX may not automatically update software that is not contained in an Operating Environment. In addition, Update-UX may not automatically update optional software bundles that have changed names since the last release. If you have added extra software to your existing OE, check to see if it is available in the new OE. If not, you will need to reinstall this software separately after the update is complete. In addition, software products that are no longer supported on HP-UX 11i v3 either may be automatically removed during the update, or the system may generate messages that warns users that these unsupported software products must be removed before beginning the update process. For further information about obsoleted products, see the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs) Persistent DSFs will be During an update from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, existing legacy DSFs are retained and created persistent DSFs will be created. Configuration files will not be modified, so system devices will continue to use the existing legacy DSFs. See Next generation mass storage stack (page 30). Secure Path not supported on HP-UX 11i v3 Secure Path is no longer supported on HP-UX 11i v3. The new mass storage stack in HP-UX 11i v3 provides integrated Native Multipathing capability. For more information on migrating from Secure Path to Native Multipathing in HP-UX 11i v3, see the Migrating from HP StorageWorks Secure Path for Active-Active Disk Arrays to Native Multipathing in HP-UX 11i v3 (http://www.docs.hp.com/en/storage.html).

Topic HP Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) not supported on HP-UX 11i v3 Tip HP Servicecontrol Manager (HP SCM) is not supported on HP-UX 11i v3. If your system is running SCM, you must migrate to HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) version 4.2 BEFORE updating to HP-UX 11i v3; otherwise the update may fail. What to do Remove HP SCM before updating to HP-UX 11i v3. If you are updating your system to HP-UX 11i v3 and HP SCM is installed on your current system and you do not want to run it in the future, you must remove the HP SCM product before you update to HP-UX 11i v3. Uninstall HP Servicecontrol Manager using the following command: swremove x enforce_dependencies=false ID where ID is the product or bundle ID as shown in the following example syntax: swremove x enforce_dependencies=false B8339BA Remove the old product sub-directories by executing the following command: rm -fr /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx You can also remove the database for Servicecontrol Manager, mysql, by executing the following command: swremove mysql You may also choose to migrate HP SCM version 3.0 to HP SIM version 4.2 before updating to HP-UX 11i v3. You must be running HP SCM version 3.0 to perform this update. If you are running an earlier version you will need to update HP SCM to version 3.0 before updating to HP SIM version 4.2. For more information on migrating from HP SCM to HP SIM version 4.2 see the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.1 Installation and User Guide (http://www.docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html).

Topic Tip

ISEE users may need to Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 release, Online Diagnostics are no longer switch diagnostics started by default. Traditionally, HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) depends mode on Online Diagnostics (EMS listener) for event detection; however, if it is not started and you notice anomalies in ISEE operation, especially with regard to which events are submitted, you must consult the ISEE Installation and Configuration Guide. What to do To check which version of diagnostics is running, run the following command: sfmconfig -w -e The preceding command switches the diagnostics mode to "EMS". In this mode, EMS Hardware Monitors are enabled and SysFaultMgmt does not monitor any devices. If the results show that only System Fault Manager is running without Online Diagnostics (EMS listener) on your HP-UX device, and anomalies exist in ISEE operation, especially with regard to which events are submitted, consult the ISEE Installation and Configuration Guide for additional information and instructions at www.hp.com/learn/isee Note: As of the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 OEUR, ISEE is no longer included in the OEs. See the HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Release Notes for further information. In case of trouble The update-ux command returns an error value when it is not successful: 1 - Error during execution; update aborted. 2 - Update aborted via user action (keyboard press) Messages are recorded in /var/opt/swm/swm.log and /var/adm/sw/update-ux.log. If you encounter a problem during the update process, review Appendix A: Harmless messages and known problems (page 75) and the HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating DVD booklet (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs) for possible solutions.

Proceeding with updating

After you have completed all necessary preparations and have familiarized yourself with any special issues, you can update your target system. You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 using one of the following methods: update-ux terminal user interface. See Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using the terminal user interface (page 50). update-ux command line interface. See Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using the command line interface (page 57).

Updating to HP-UX 1 v3 using the terminal user interface 1i

This section describes how to update your system using the update-ux Terminal User Interface (TUI). There are seven steps in the TUI update-ux process: Step 1: Start-up Step 2: Select source Step 3: Select OE Step 4: Select software Step 5: Analysis (preview) Step 6: Update
50 Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

Start the update-ux TUI. Provide the location of the software depot from which the software will be installed. Select the OE to which you want to update. Choose the software in the OE you want to include in your update. Analyze (preview) your update selections to determine if they can be updated successfully. Perform the actual software update.

Step 7: Verify update TIP:

Verify that the software update was successful.

With this TUI, you use the Arrow, Tab, Space, and Return keys to navigate.

Step 1: Start-up
a. To start the TUI for an update session, enter: update-ux -i -s /dvdrom The TUI is automatically invoked and the Update-UX Overview tab appears. If any screen other than the Overview tab appears, press 1 to display the Overview tab. This tab provides an overview of the update process. Follow the numbered tabs to update the OE. Use the navigation legend at the bottom of each screen to navigate and select options on this TUI. Figure 6-2 Overview Screen

b.

After reviewing the information on the Update-UX Overview tab, enter n (next) to proceed to the Source Selection tab.

Step 2: Select source

The Source tab appears. The Source tab displays a list of registered source depots on the local host system.

Proceeding with updating

51

Figure 6-3 Select Source Tab

a.

Specify the source depot that contains the new OE that you want to use to update your target system. The system automatically selects the local host and default depot path. You can expand any entry that is preceded by the + sign. This allows you to view the available depots on the server.

b.

If the depot containing the software you want to install does not appear in the list, you can do one of the following: Add another host system to the list of registered source depots by entering s (Add Server/Depot) and then entering the name of the new source host; or You can also remove a host system from the list of registered source depots by entering d (Delete Server). Press Enter. The system retrieves all the depots available for the host name specified and displays a list of registered depots on the source host. Use the spacebar to select the depot containing the software you want to install. NOTE: You cannot select content within the OE at this point. Software selection within the selected OE is in the next screen.

c. d.

e.

Enter n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed to the OE-Selection tab. (The system displays the message Reading Data from Source before displaying the next tab.)

Step 3: Select OE
The OE-Selection tab appears. The OE-Selection tab displays the list of OEs to which you can update. The OE that best matches the one currently installed on your system is automatically selected: If your system already has an HP-UX 11i v3 BOE, HA-OE, VSE-OE, or DC-OE, the same OE will be automatically selected. If you are updating from HP-UX 11i v2, or if your system has one of the old HP-UX 11i v3 OEs (FOE, EOE, MCOE, or TCOE), Update-UX will select the new OE that best matches the old OE. You may choose a different OE by selecting it (which will automatically deselect the other).

52

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

IMPORTANT: If you choose to select an OE other than the one that was automatically selected, you must adhere to an supported update path. See Supported update paths (page 17). Figure 6-4 OE Selection Tab

With this screen, you can accomplish two tasks: 1) review the contents of an OE you are considering for update, and 2) make the actual OE selection. With the next screen (in Step 4), you will be able to select the individual software bundles. a. The OE software is divided into three install types: required, recommended, and optional. If you are not familiar with the special meanings of these terms, see their definitions in HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment install/update structure (page 91). In addition, the software is separated into several product categories. Again, see HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment install/update structure (page 91) for more information. On this tab you can review the software contents included within the OE: Highlight the category you would like to review and press Enter to expand and view its contents. b. When you are ready to select the OE to which you want to update, navigate to the OE listing and press the spacebar to select it. Then enter n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed to the SW-Selection tab. The system displays the message: Working...Loading *temporary* update tools that do not affect the running system and will be removed when the OE update is finished.

Step 4: Select software

The SW-Selection tab appears. The SW-Selection tab displays the software contents of the OE you selected on the OE-Selection tab. On the SW-Selection tab you can choose the software contents you want to include within the OE.

Proceeding with updating

53

Figure 6-5 Software Selection Tab

Use the spacebar to select or deselect software from the list. NOTE: You may observe a few seconds of delay each time you select or deselect a software item on this screen. Select any optional software that you want and deselect any recommended (default-installed) software that you do not want. Browse the list, marking your selections. The bundles and associated product names are listed in Appendix C: HP-UX 11i v3 software bundles contained in the OEs (page 91). For information about new and changed products and features, see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes appropriate for the release to which you are updating. The document is available on the Instant Information DVD and on the web (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles is not required for your OE. If you deselect recommended software during the update, the old version of the software you deselected will remain on your system. The old version may or may not be compatible with the newly updated HP-UX 11i v3 OE. In addition, software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent some products from functioning correctly because they have dependencies on the software you deselected. The flag M (Match) appears when software has been matched to software currently installed on your system. The flag P (Partial) may appear if you select only a component of a software object or if such components are automatically selected due to dependencies. The software products in each category have an associated flag that is displayed in the left-hand column and are described below: S is selected by the user. ! is deselected by the user. D is a dependency. A is automatically selected. P is partially selected. M is selected because it matches software installed on your system.
54 Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

E means an error has occurred when selecting this item. . has no status (is not selected or installed). N is newer than the software on the system. O is older than the software on the system. I is currently installed on the system.

Step 5: Analysis (preview)

a. After selecting the software you wish to update, enter p (preview) to preview, without modifying the system, the actions that will occur for the update. The output window appears and begins displaying messages beginning with: Analyzing software to be installed. In this step, the update-ux TUI analyzes the software you have selected. The Analysis window displays status information about the analysis process. If the preview shows problems, these will be displayed in the Analysis window. Figure 6-6 Analysis Dialog

b. c. d.

The preview stops after the analysis. Press Enter to return to the SW-Selection tab. After returning to the SW-Selection tab, enter l (log) to view the log file, which presents a view of detailed install information. Review any errors, warnings, or notes. Warnings and notes are simply informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved before the update can continue.

Step 6: Update
In this step, the system proceeds with the actual update. At the SW-Selection tab, enter i (install) to start the update process. After the update has started, the system will typically execute a reboot. After your system has completed its reboot, you will be prompted to change DVDs if and when needed.

Step 7: Verify update

Use the following steps to verify that the update has completed successfully:

Proceeding with updating

55

a.

To verify that no errors were encountered before the update began, view the contents of the log file: /var/adm/sw/update-ux.log. You should see output similar to the following:
NOTE: Command entered: update-ux -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update_depot SWM HPUX11i-OE Output is logged to '/var/adm/sw/update-ux.log' * Obtaining some information from the source depot. cp /usr/lbin/swagent /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux compress /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent uncompress /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent.Z chmod +x /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent * Copying an SD agent from the source depot /usr/sbin/swagentd -k /usr/sbin/swagentd -r /usr/sbin/swcopy -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update_depot -x logfile=/var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swcopy.log -x autoselect_dependencies=false -x enforce_dependencies=false -x mount_all_file systems=false -x register_new_depot=false -x uncompress_files=true -x reinstall=true SW-DIST.SD-AGENT @ /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/SWDIST.depot /usr/sbin/swagentd -k /usr/sbin/swagentd -r rm -f /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/orig_swagent.log rm -f /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/tmp_swagent.log /usr/sbin/swagentd -k.

b.

To verify that all appropriate software was updated successfully, view the contents of the logfile: /var/opt/swm/swm.log. You may view the contents of the swm.log interactively by typing the following command: swm job -i The system displays a log screen that displays contents of the log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log. Figure 6-7 Log Screen

This log screen provides multiple ways of viewing the information recorded in the log file. You can filter out the messages by verbosity levels, using the action keys at the bottom of the screen. Table 6-2 Log files generated during update lists the log files that are generated during an update:

Log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log Description This log file contains the output from the software selection, analysis and installation phases of the software update. In addition, this log file includes output from all control scripts that run during the update. The swm.log file is the primary log file that you should reference for the results of the update process. This log file contains the output from the update-ux script. The update-ux script ensures that the right tools are installed before performing the update. This log file contains the detailed output from the software installation, including control scripts that run during the update. Note that the swm.log file is a superset of the information found in the swagent.log file. These are log files for individual commands that run during the update. Success or failure and output from these commands is recorded in the swm.log. Unless directed by a message in another log file, there is no need to refer to these log files.

Updating to HP-UX 1 v3 using the command line interface 1i

This section describes ways to use the update-ux command to update your system from the Command Line Interface (CLI).

update-ux command
Use the following syntax to run the update-ux command: update-ux -s source_location -?-i-p-v-f selection_file-x option=valuesw_spec ... Table 6-3 update-ux command options
update-ux command options -s source_location Description Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot combination. All paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths. If source_location is a remote system and depot combination, specify the remote system first, followed by the absolute path to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces. For example: swperf:/var/spool/sw -? -p -v -f selection_file Prints the usage statement. Previews an update task by running the session through the analysis phase only. Turns on verbose output to stdout. Reads the list of software selections from selection_file instead of (or in addition to) the command line. This option enables you to select and update optional software or to deselect recommended (default-installed) software.

Proceeding with updating

57

Table 6-3 update-ux command options (continued)

update-ux command options -x option=value Description Specifies -x options to be applied during the update. For a typical update, no -x options are required. For information on -x options, see the swm (1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide. Software selections support the same syntax as the swinstall command plus the syntax described in the selection syntax section below. The following syntax is supported for sw_spec: bundle[,version] product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version] !selection [bundle]/[%match] pattern-matching-expression where version can be: [,r op revision][,a op arch][,v op vendor] [,c op category] [,q=qualifier][,l=location] [,fr op revision][,fa op arch] where op can be: =, ==, >=, <=, <, >, or != The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the shell wildcard and pattern-matching-expressions: [ ], *, ? The syntax !selection causes that selection to be deselected even if it was listed on the command line as part of other selections.

sw_spec

Updating to an Operating Environment from the command line

The update-ux command will automatically choose the OE that best matches the OE currently on your system. If your system already has an HP-UX 11i v3 BOE, HA-OE, VSE-OE, or DC-OE, the same OE will be automatically chosen. If you are updating from HP-UX 11i v2, or if your system has one of the old HP-UX 11i v3 OEs (FOE, EOE, MCOE, or TCOE), update-ux will choose the new OE that best matches the old OE. IMPORTANT: If you choose to select an OE other than the one that was automatically chosen, you must adhere to an supported update path. See Supported update paths (page 17). To update to a different HP-UX 11i v3 OE, you need to specify the OE name in the update-ux command. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD in the local drive mounted at /dvdrom. As root, enter: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom OE_identifier The OE identifiers are as follows: Table 6-4 OE identifiers
OE identifier HPUX11i-BOE HPUX11i-VSE-OE HPUX11i-HA-OE HPUX11i-DC-OE Operating Environment Base OE Virtual Server OE High Availability OE Data Center OE

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

IMPORTANT: Make sure you install all new optional software included in the OE collection that you want at the same time that you do your update. See the next section.

Updating optional software from the command line

To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and specify additional optional software bundles on the command line, enter the name of the OE followed by the names of the optional software bundles. The following example assumes the desired OE is the Base OE: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE optional_software_bundle_name

Installing HP-UX applications

Your HP-UX 11i v3 media kit contains a set of HP-UX Application Software DVDs. The Application Software DVDs provide a wide variety of HP-UX software products from which you can choose. You can install them new or use them to update the existing software on your system. Products for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3 are included, although some may require a key. See your HP Customer Representative for information. You can install HP-UX 11i v3 applications from the HP-UX Application Software DVDs if you already have an HP-UX 11i v3 OE on your system. (HP-UX 11i v2 applications require an HP-UX 11i v2 OE, and HP-UX 11i v1 applications require an HP-UX 11i v1 OE.) You do not have to install or update to the new OE that came in your media kit. However, if you choose to install or update to the new OE, be sure you have completed the process before you install applications from the HP-UX Application Software DVDs. CAUTION: For the majority of products included on the HP-UX Application Software DVDs, all dependencies are provided on the same set of DVDs. There may be exceptions, however.

Here are some tips for installing or updating HP applications: The HP-UX Application Software DVDs have an ASCII file called DVD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS that lists all software products delivered with the DVDs. You can view this ASCII file with vi, emacs, or any other text editor. You can also find the complete list of applications included in the HP-UX 11i v3 release on the HP Software Releases & Media site: http://www.hp.com/softwarereleases/releases-media2/index.html (Navigate to Current HP-UX update releases or Prior HP-UX update releases, then navigate to HP-UX New/Updated product list for the appropriate release date.) To minimize the number of required reboots for installation of applications and patches, you can create a network depot, copy all the products and patches into it, and use the same swinstall session. For information, see Creating a network depot (optional) (page 28). For HP applications, documentation exists that explains how to install and use an application. The documents may include release notes, readme files, CD and DVD booklets, white papers, and guides. Refer to the Instant Information DVD or search for the product at http:// docs.hp.com or http://hp.com/go/bizsupport. (For information about these websites, see Chapter 9 (page 71).

Installing HP-UX applications from the DVDs

This section describes installation of applications from the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software DVDs, which can be found in the HP-UX 11i v3 media kit. You must boot HP-UX 11i v3 to install HP-UX Application Software products. Use the following procedure to install products from the Application Software DVDs: 1. 2. 3. The HP-UX Application Software comes as a multiple DVD set. Mount the first (or next) DVD. (For instructions, see Mounting and unmounting the DVD (page 27).) To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the swlist command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l product To install software from the Application Software DVD, use the swinstall command. The following example assumes the DVD is mounted at /dvdrom: swinstall -i -s /dvdrom

HP-UX patching and patch management

HP releases patches to deliver incremental updates to your system. Patches are best known for delivering defect fixes, but can also deliver new functionality and features, enable new hardware, and update firmware. You can use HP-UX patches to update HP-UX software without having to completely reinstall your OE. NOTE: When you install or update HP-UX 11i v3, the latest critical patches that shipped with the media are installed on your system. However, other recommended critical or required patches may have become available after the initial release of the media. To manage patches and security bulletins most easily, you can use the HP-UX Software Assistant. For information, see HP-UX Software Assistant (page 65).

Standard HP-UX patch bundles

The HP-UX OE media provides standard HP-UX patch bundles for HP-UX Core OS, plus diagnostic products. Standard patch bundles are collections of patches that have been thoroughly tested together. These bundles enable new hardware, fix known defects, and provide diagnostics tools. In some cases, a patch bundle may deliver new software functionality. All patch bundle
Third-party software and hardware 63

software is cumulative and completely replaces any previous bundle release for the same operating system (OS) release. The following standard patch bundles are provided on the OE DVDs: Hardware Enablement Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i v3 (HWEnable11i) Provides patches required for new systems and for add-on hardware supported on HP-UX 11i v3, including I/O adapters and devices. Feature Enablement Patch Bundle (FEATURE11i) Consists of required core patch files that meet dependencies for new or updated software products. Included patches may also enable new products/features or provide product enhancements. (Also provided on the Application Software DVDs.) Quality Pack Patch Bundles Base Quality Pack Bundle (QPKBASE) Includes all stable, defect-fix patches for the Core OS, graphics, and key networking drivers. Applications Quality Pack Bundle (QPKAPPS) Includes all stable, defect-fix patches for HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) applications. In addition to being delivered on the OE DVDs, the standard HP-UX 11i v3 patch bundles are available at the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) website (http://itrc.hp.com) and on FTP servers. IMPORTANT: You must use the updated Ignite-UX and Update-UX tools from September 2007 OE Update release (or later) to correctly install patches and HP-UX 11i v3 patch bundles. HP supports the following cold-install or update cases with a network depot that includes HP-UX patches or patch bundles. To cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 using a network depot, use any release of HP-UX 11i v3 to create the network depot, and then copy the desired patch bundles into that depot. Use Ignite-UX version C.7.3 (or later) to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3. Get the latest Ignite-UX version from the IUX website: http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux To update to the latest release of HP-UX 11i v3, start with the desired HP-UX 11i v3 OE bundles from the September 2007 release (or later) to create the depot, and then copy the desired patch bundles into the depot. Updates to a network depot with the HP-UX 11i v3 OE bundles from February 2007 and 11i v3 patch bundles from September 2007 release or later cannot be supported, due to known problems with the initial release of 11.31 HP-UX software management tools (that get installed with OE bundles from February 2007). Documentation HP strongly advises you review the readme document file that is delivered with each patch bundle. The document files can be found in the OEDocs directory on the OE DVDs and at the ITRC (http://itrc.hp.com). The Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems provides information and procedures for acquiring and installing standard HP-UX patch bundles. You can find the document at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs. For descriptions of changes to the standard HP-UX patch bundles, see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs) appropriate to your release.

Installing applications and patches

Individual HP-UX patches

Individual HP-UX patches comprise the standard HP-UX patch bundles. The individual patches and patch bundles are available from the Patch Database at the ITRC (http://itrc.hp.com). At times, you may find it necessary to acquire and install individual patches, for example, based on known patch IDs, software functionality, reactive patching, and security issues.

HP-UX Software Assistant

HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) is a tool that consolidates and simplifies patch management and security bulletin management on HP-UX systems. SWA combines the versatility and power of the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) Patch Assessment and Security Patch Check (SPC) utilities, and is the HP-recommended utility to use to maintain currency with HP-published security bulletins for HP-UX software. SWA can perform a number of checks, including applicable security bulletins and installed patches with critical warnings. Once an analysis has been performed, you can use SWA to download any recommended patches or patch bundles and create a depot ready for installation. New for HP-UX 11i releases as of January 2007, the SWA tool's bundle name is SwAssistant and its product number is B6834AA. SWA is delivered as a recommended (default-installed) product in all OEs. The HP-UX Software Assistant website at https://www.hp.com/go/swa provides a product overview, download links, documentation links, and installation instructions. Documentation The following SWA documents are available at http://www.hp.com/go/swa-docs: The HP-UX Software Assistant Release Notes provides the features and functionality of the latest release, and known problems.

Verifying the HP-UX cold-install or update

To verify that HP-UX 11i v3 was installed or updated successfully, use the Software Distributor commands swlist and swverify, as described in this section. For an update, you can also view the results of the update in the log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log. See Step 7 in Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using the terminal user interface (page 50) for more information. Before you begin, make sure you have already completed cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. TIP: For help with these commands, see the swlist(1M) and swverify(1M) manpages, and the Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant Information DVD or at http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs.

Part I: Listing all software installed on your system

1. 2. 3. List the bundles and products installed on your system: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product > /tmp/software_list Check the list to see that it contains the bundles and products you wish to have installed on your system. For a cold-install, you may want to compare the output of the swlist command above with the contents of the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment DVDs and the Application Software DVDs. To see the contents of a DVD, issue the following command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product -s /dvdrom > /tmp/dvdcontent

Part II: Verifying the installed software

You can verify that all software was successfully installed on your system by entering the following command: /usr/sbin/swverify \* The message Verification succeeded should be displayed on the console at the end of the operation. Further messages from the verification process can be found in the log files: /var/ adm/sw/swverify.log and /var/adm/sw/swagent.log

Configuring Operating Environment applications

After updating to an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment (OE), some OE products need post-installation configuration to make them functional. This need may be indicated by a message logged in /var/opt/swm/swm.log. See each products installation instructions for details. If the products are new or have changed with the current OE update release, the locations of many OE product-specific documents are listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available on the Instant Information DVD and at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs. Otherwise, search for the product documentation at http:// docs.hp.com or http://hp.com/go/bizsupport. (For information about these websites, see Chapter 9 (page 71).)

Post-install/update tasks and troubleshooting

NOTE: A license for the HP Insight Dynamics - VSE suite for Integrity is installed by default with the VSE and DC Operating Environments. To use this license, it must be activated from the Central Management Server (CMS), as described in the HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Getting Started Guide. These OEs also include the optional VSEMgmt package, which installs the CMS software for Insight Dynamics. Review the following documents before installing the CMS software. The HP Insight Dynamics - VSE 6.0: Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide, in particular, describes installation, upgrade, and post-installation configuration steps that are required to properly install the VSEMgmt package. These documents are available on the web at http:// www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs. HP Insight Dynamics - VSE 6.0: Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide HP Insight Software 6.0 Support Matrix HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Release Notes HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Getting Started Guide NOTE: Also of particular note is the documentation for configuring HP Serviceguard with Bastille and IPFilter. If you have used Bastille to harden your system at installation or update, and you are a Serviceguard user, see HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Security Management (www.hp.com/ go/hpux-core-docs).

Migrating to the agile mass storage stack

The new mass storage stack for HP-UX 11i v3 is intended to supersede the existing mass storage stack. However, in HP-UX 11i v3 both legacy and persistent DSFs can exist in parallel. Existing legacy DSFs will continue to work as before; they are completely backward compatible, and will not be affected by any persistent DSFs on the same server. (The agile mass storage stack, as well as legacy and persistent DSFs, are discussed in Next generation mass storage stack (page 30).) You may choose to migrate to the new agile mass storage stack or you can continue to use the legacy mass storage stack. However, if you want to use the new features of the agile mass storage stack and are not affected by existing limitations, you should consider migrating to the new mass storage stack. For more information on the new mass storage stack and to migrate from the legacy view to the agile view, see the white papers The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 and HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).

System tuning for VxFS 4.1

If your system has the minimum amount of memory, you may need to manually set VxFS tunables for optimal performance after cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. Two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, have an effect on system memory consumption. For guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM, see the Veritas File System 4.1 Administrator's Guide at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.

Backing up the system

Now that you have a solid system configuration, you need to back it up. This provides you with a stable configuration that you can use to rebuild the system, if necessary. For more information, see Backing up your system (page 22).

Uninstalling HP-UX 1 v3 1i
If you cannot resolve problems after installing HP-UX 11i v3, then you may want to uninstall it. The process depends upon the install process you followed: If you previously created an operating system recovery image with either make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery using Ignite-UX, boot the system from that media to return the OS and any archived applications to the previous release. See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available on the Instant Information DVD and at http:// www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs. If you used a drd clone to create your system recovery image, see Choosing drd clone (page 24). If you do not use Ignite-UX or DRD, or do not have a current operating system recovery image: If your applications and data are on a separate disk from the OS, cold-install the previous OS. Doing this ensures a clean OS installation, removing all previous upgrade and patch information. If applications, data, or both are on the same volume with the OS, boot from the previously-saved system recovery tape to return to a previous OS. These expert recovery processes are in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

Removing applications and patches

To determine which applications are on the system and where they are located, use swlist. If you only need to remove applications or patches from the system, use swremove. For details, see the Software Distributor Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs).

Diagnostics
Now that you have installed or updated HP-UX, you can use it to keep your system running. The diagnostics software for HP servers helps you troubleshoot and fix problems when a hardware failure occurs.

Online diagnostics
The online diagnostics software, which is always-installed with HP-UX 11i v3, consists of two product bundles: OnlineDiag (Online Diagnostics) SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management [SFM]) These bundles include many tools to help verify, troubleshoot, and monitor PA-RISC and Itanium-based system hardware such as processors, memory, power supplies, fans, interface cards, and mass storage devices. For more information about these products, see the documentation at http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html.

Offline diagnostics
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) includes a set of offline support tools that enables you to troubleshoot a system that is running without an operating system. The ODE tools are provided on CDs for HP Integrity systems and HP 9000 systems. You can order the CDs at no charge or you can download the CD image and burn your own CD. For instructions on how to order the ODE CD (or download the CD image), see the Administrator's and User's Guide for Offline Diagnostics (http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html). Other ODE documentation, including release notes, is available at this site as well. HP highly recommends that you get the latest CD and update the ODE for improved functionality. Note that the CD-ROMs are OS independent and ordered separately from each other and of any operating system media.

Problem Description/action

After system reboot or upgrade, When an HP-UX system is rebooted or upgraded, the WBEM Indications are not HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule does not register with Event Monitoring generated for Fibre Channel System (EMS). As a result, WBEM Indications are not generated for Fibre Channel devices. What to do After system reboot or upgrade, restart HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule using the following commands: cimprovider -dm HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule cimprovider -em HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule After DASProvider bundle installation or upgrade, Disk exerciser tool does not work The Disk exerciser tool, which is shipped in the DASProvider bundle, does not work after bundle installation or upgrade. What to do After installing or upgrading the DASProvider bundle, restart CDM-ProvidersModule or cimserver to make the Disk exerciser tool work. Note: Restarting CDM-ProvidersModule is recommended here as restarting cimserver may resume all the providers installed on the system. HP-UX Security Containment Extensions version B.11.31.01 may produce unexpected behaviors and swverify errors If you have installed HP-UX Security Containment Extensions (ContainmentExt bundle) version B.11.31.01 (which includes the CompartmentLogin and ContainmentWiz products) from the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September 2009, or March 2010 OE media, you may experience unexpected behaviors while using HP-UX Compartment Login and HP-UX Containment Wizard. In addition, when you update the OE with ContainmentExt B.11.31.01 to a newer OE version, you may find swverify errors that indicate ContainmentExt, CompartmentLogin, and/or ContainmentWiz are not found on the system. What to do Update the product bundle to version B.11.31.01.01 or later, which can be obtained from http://software.hp.com. Then you can install or update to the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, September 2009, or March 2010 OE media. Issues with HP Smart Array P700m RAID controllers New installation of a P700m controller is not recommended on HP-UX 11i v3 releases prior to March 2010. HP-UX 11i v3 Releases prior to March 2010 might not guarantee that P700m Device Special Files (DSFs) are persistent between releases. This can cause data on arrays to become unavailable after you upgrade to the March 2010 (or later) release of HP-UX 11i v3. What to do If you have an HP Smart Array P700m already configured on any of the following releases, you must contact HP Support before you upgrade to the March 2010 release: HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Release HP-UX 11i v3 June 2009 WEB release HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Release HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 WEB Release If you are considering a new installation of an HP Smart Array P700m Controller, HP recommends that you configure it on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or later. If you have a Smart Array P700m controller configured on any HP-UX 11i v3 release prior to March 2010, you must contact HP Support before upgrading to a newer release. For further information on contacting HP support, see Chapter 9: Support and other resources (page 71).

Problem drd runcmd update-ux fails with local source depots Description/action When executing drd runcmd update-ux using a directory depot (or mounted media) that resides on the active system image, the command fails with this error: ERROR: The expected depot does not exist at "<depot_name>" What to do In order to use a directory depot on the active system image, you will need to install March 2010 (or later) DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST products from an OE depot. This must be done before the clone is created, so the new DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST are on the active system and on the clone. The following assumes the OE depot is at /var/depots/1003-DCOE. This must be executed as root: swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false \ -s /var/depots/1003-DCOE \ DRD SWM SW-DIST PHCO_36525 drd runcmd update-ux fails with multi-DVD source depot DRD updates directly from March 2010 OE media require a manual chrooted mount of the first DVD before the DRD update, and a manual umount of the DVD after the DRD update completes. The umounts and mounts of DVD 2 and DVD 3 will be done automatically during the update. What to do First make sure March 2010 (or later) DRD is installed on the active system and on the clone. You can install DRD from a March 2010 or later OE depot using a command like the following. This assumes the OE depot is a DVD mounted at /cdrom: swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false \ -s /cdrom \ DRD PHCO_36525 To mount the DDV on the clone, complete the following steps. This assumes the DVD is mounted at /cdrom: 1. Mount the DRD clone: drd mount 2. Determine the device file for the mounted DVD: mount | grep /cdrom 3. Unmount the first DVD on the active system, and mount it in the clone. device_file is the device file path displayed by step 2 above. /sbin/umount /cdrom chroot /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001 \ /sbin/fs/fsdaemon f 1 chroot /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001 \ /sbin/mount device_file /cdrom 4. Do the DRD update: drd runcmd update-ux -s /cdrom 5. After the DRD update completes, unmount the DVD in the chroot. (The chroot command is not necessary for this umount, even though the DVD is still mounted in the chroot. The fsdaemon started in an earlier step does not need to be stopped; the normal DRD update processes will have already stopped the fsdaemon.): /sbin/umount /cdrom

Problem At end of update, DRD recommends a non-functional feature Description/action At the end of an update, Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) recommends that you run swm job log -v <job_id>. However, this feature sometimes aborts with a stack trace. What to do To view the log on the inactive image, run this command instead: drd runcmd view /var/opt/swm/swm.log The view program is identical to vi except that the read-only editor option is set. You are able to search the document and when youre done, you can exit the editor program. Certain nsswitch.conf entries DRD runcmd does not support the following nsswitch.conf entries on the not supported by drd runcmd clone while managing software through drd runcmd. If the file contains them, the runcmd will fail. passwd: group: hosts: compat compat nis [NOTFOUND=return] files

You might see these errors during the execution of drd runcmd if your nsswitch.conf file contains the hosts: nis entry: ERROR: Could not contact host "myserver". Make sure the hostname is correct and an absolute pathname is specified (beginning with "/"). You might see these errors during the execution of drd runcmd if your nsswitch.conf file contains the passwd compat or group: compat entries: ERROR: Permission is denied for the current operation. There is no entry for user id 0 in the user database. Check /etc/passwd and/or the NIS user database. What to do Since DRD does not need NIS to be running during swinstall, swremove or update, you may move the nsswitch.conf file on the clone to a temporary location. After you are done modifying the clone, you may move it back. # drd mount # bdf # mv /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/ \ etc/nsswitch.conf/ \ var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/etc/nsswitch.conf.orig # drd runcmd # mv /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/ \ etc/nsswitch.conf.orig? \ var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/etc/nsswitch.conf Alternatively, you may remove the passwd and group entries that contain compat from the clones /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/etc/ nsswitch.conf file and replace the hosts entry with: hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] nis [NOTFOUND=return] files

Problem fsdaemon and the swagentd daemons are left running if drd runcmd is sent an interrupt signal Description/action The fsdaemon and the swagentd daemons are left running if drd runcmd is sent an interrupt signal that stops the process before it has had a chance to clean up. If you have interrupted the execution of this command with an interrupt signal, you may check for these two processes on the system using ps ef: ps -ef | grep -e swagentd -e fsdaemon root 189 10 May 4 ? 0:00 /sbin/fs/fsdaemon -f 0 root 11701 10 06:39:39 ? 0:00 /sbin/fs/fsdaemon -f 1 root 1851 10 May 4 ? 0:23 /usr/sbin/swagentd -r root 11694 10 06:39:39 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/swagentd r What to do Kill the two extra running processes on the system that were started during the time that you ran the drd runcmd. In this case it would be Process 11701 and 11694. During update to the September During an update from an earlier HP-UX 11i v3 OE to the September 2009 HP-UX 2009 11i v3 OE, patches may be 11i v3 OE, one or more patches may be partially installed. You may see the partially installed following warning after running swverify on the system updated with the September 2009 OE: WARNING: The patch "PHCO_37128,l=/,r=1.0" contains some filesets which are superseded and some filesets which are not superseded. The superseding patch may be incorrect or may need to be reapplied. What to do Run /usr/contrib/bin/check_patches and follow the instructions under "Missing Patch Filesets" in the check_patches report. It will instruct you to swinstall the appropriate patches as follows:
WARNING: HP-UX 11.X patches consist of one or more filesets which are installed only if the corresponding product fileset is present. If a product fileset is installed or reinstalled after a patch, the patch fileset will not be present. Based on the product filesets that are currently installed, the following active patches appear to be missing some applicable patch filesets: PHCO_38806 is missing patch fileset INET-ENG-A-MAN PHCO_39297 is missing patch fileset INET-JPN-E-MAN PHCO_39297 is missing patch fileset INET-JPN-S-MAN To insure proper operation of these patches, they should be installed again. It is not necessary to use the swinstall(1M) reinstall option, as only the missing patch filesets need to be installed. The swinstall(1M) process will automatically install only the applicable patch filesets that are missing.

Problem Update using HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 from OE media may fail when the base page size is not 4K or 8K Description/action On an HP Integrity system, update from HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 to HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 (or later) using OE media may fail when the kernel base page size (BPS) is set to greater than the 8K value. The update failures were seen on systems with the HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM or HPVM) product (VMKernelSW bundle versions B.04.00 and later) that automatically sets BPS to 64K. The failures may also occur on HP Integrity systems that have BPS set to 16K or 64K values. The Tunable Base Page Size feature (introduced in September 2008 OE Update) enables these changes (see the base_pagesize(5) manpage). The update from OE media may fail in one of two ways on systems with BPS > 8K: 1. A read error while reading filesets from the OE media, with a Bad Address (14) wording in the error message. Installing PHKL_39114 will fix the read error. 2. The update may hang while installing the filesets from the March 2009 OE (or later) media. Installing PHKL_39114 will not fix this critical problem. What to do Before performing an update using the March 2009 OE (or later) media, install patches PHKL_39509 and PHKL_39594 on HP Integrity systems (which fixes the defect with the FS buffer cache on systems with the 64K base page size). The patches can be installed from the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 (or later) media. The system will reboot after installing these patches. After the system boots, you can proceed with the update. OR If your kernel base page size (BPS) is set to larger than 8K, then set the BPS to 4K before performing the update. After you have updated your system, return the BPS to its former value. For detailed notes on work-arounds and recovery steps, see QXCR1000907205 and QXCR1000868519 at the IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com).

Install or update of an older OE If you ignite or update a system to an Operating Environment (OE) older than with certain patches in a March 2009 using a combined depot that also contains certain patches, the session combined depot may result in may result in the following error messages in swagent.log: errors * Installing fileset "PHKL_nnnnn.C-INC,r=1.0" ERROR: (nnn of nnn). Cannot read from the file "/var/adm/sw/products/ProgSupport/C-INC/INFO": No such file or directory (2). Rebuilding the Installed Products Database has failed. You may need to retry this operation.

ERROR:

The problem is due to tools in pre-March 2009 OEs incorrectly handling certain patch dependency and ancestor relationships. Patches PHKL_38623, PHKL_38733, PHKL_38715, PHKL_38762, and possibly other patches can trigger this problem. These patches are contained in the March 2009 (or later) FEATURE11i bundle, and possibly other March 2009 (or later) patch bundles. Due to header files missing from the ProgSupport.C-INC fileset, a compile of C source code will fail. Many of the header files in the /usr/include directory tree or in /usr/old/usr/include will be missing. A swverify check will not detect the missing files. What to do To avoid this problem, Ignite or update to the older OE first. Then install the desired patches from the March 2009 (or later) FEATURE11i bundle. Do not install or update an older OE with the FEATURE11i bundle (or referenced patches) in a combined depot. To repair damage that may have resulted from this problem, follow the steps described in QXCR1000902981. Go to the IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com), click Search knowledge base, then select Search by document ID for your search mode. Enter "ttr_na-SSB_1000902981 in the box.

Problem Description/action

HFS file system block size must The HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 release includes the option to tune the system be greater than or equal to base page size to values larger than its 4 KB default. Integrity Virtual Machines system base page size always uses this feature to tune the system base page size in the Platform Manager to 64 KB. HFS file systems will fail to mount when the file system block size is less than the system base page size. What to do If you are performing an update, and plan to use a non-default base page size, replace each HFS file system with a VxFS file system. For each existing HFS file system, create a new VxFS file system and copy the contents of the HFS file system to the VxFS file system. HP does not recommend using HFS file systems on systems where the base page size will be tuned to a non-default value. While HFS file systems can be configured to work in this environment, VxFS administration is much simpler than HFS administration with non-default base page sizes. During a cold-install, configure all physical file systems as VxFS file systems. For information about the new tunable that controls the size of a system base page, see Tunable Base Page Size in the HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Release Notes (www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). Cold-install fails in Integrity VM Due to a limitation on the length of the pathname to backing store volumes, Guest cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 fails in an Integrity VM guest when using host VxVM volumes as the guest's backing store. The install fails with the following error: NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-34 added disk array OTHER_DISKS, datype = OTHER_DISKS VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device disk1_p2: init failed: Device path not valid * smapi listener returned "ACTION_FAILURE" for message "CREATE_GROUP" The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]): The issue will be fixed in a subsequent release of VxVM. What to do Restrict the length of the pathname to a backing store volume. If using VxVM volumes as backing store, the combined number of characters in the volume group name AND the volume name must not exceed 9. For all backing stores (including LVM or raw disk), the full pathname to the backing store or volume must not exceed 23 characters.

B Installing VxFS and VxVM

Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs) included the 4.1 and 5.0 versions of VxFS and the (recommended (default-installed) selection would install VxFS 4.1. Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 OEUR, the default version of VxFS installed is changed from 4.1 to 5.0. The following software is included in HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 OEUR: VxFS 4.1 (Base-VXFS bundle) required (always-installed) installed in all OEs OnlineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA bundle) optional in DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE VxFS 5.0 (Base-VxFS-50 bundle) recommended (default) installed in all OEs OnlineJFS 5.0 (B3929FB bundle) recommended (default) installed in DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE VxVM 5.0 (Base-VxVM-50 bundle) optional in all OEs Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is also present in all OEs and is recommended software (installed by default). This means that, starting in the September 2009 OEUR, the default install selection for all systems is VxFS 5.0 + LVM. The sections below describe how you can update to VxFS 5.0, OnlineJFS 5.0, and VxVM 5.0. If you want to remain on VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1, see the white paper "Installation of VxFS and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 Operating Environment Update Release" (at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs). The paper includes detailed instructions for the following supported configurations and other considerations: LVM with VxFS 4.1 Configuration VxVM 4.1 with VxFS 4.1 Configuration Updates from HP-UX 11i v2 with OnlineJFS 4.1 to HP-UX 11i v3 with OnlineJFS 4.1 Updates to HP-UX 11i v3 with VxVM 4.1 Default install of VxFS changed from 4.1 to 5.0 Starting with the September 2008 release, VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 were included in the OEUR or AR media and VxFS 4.1 would have been installed by default. From September 2009 OEUR and beyond, VxFS 5.0 is installed by default. However, both VxFS 4.1 and 5.0 continue to be included as they were in past OEURs. Explicit de-selection of VxFS 5.0 in the Ignite-UX tool is required if you prefer stay on VxFS 4.1. (See the white paper referenced above.) VxVM 4.1 replaced by VxVM 5.0 Starting with the September 2008 release, VxVM 4.1 is not included in the OEUR or AR media. It has been replaced by VxVM 5.0. However, in the September 2008 OEUR and beyond, VxVM is not installed by default as it was in past OEURs. Explicit selection of VxVM 5.0 in the Ignite-UX tool is required to install VxVM. Supported VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 5.0 installations are achievable with proper selections in the Ignite-UX tool. The following sections describe the steps required to get to each possible configuration. VxVM and VxFS installation through cold-install (page 87) VxVM and VxFS installation with update-ux (page 88)

VxVM and VxFS installation through cold-install

The following sections describe the steps required for each supported cold-install configuration.

LVM with VxFS 5.0 configuration

A default cold-install will result in an LVM system with VxFS 5.0 and OnlineJFS 5.0 installed (OnlineJFS will NOT be installed with the BOE). No additional selections in the IUX user interface (UI) are needed to cold-install this configuration.

VxVM and VxFS installation through cold-install

VxVM 5.0 with VxFS 5.0 configuration

To cold-install VxVM with VxFS, manually select the VxVM with VxFS environment (in the Ignite-UX Basic tab) and manually select VxVM 5.0 [Base-VxVM-50] in the Software tab for install. You MUST do both (explicitly select the VxVM environment and the VxVM 5.0 bundle [Base-VxVM-50]) or Ignite-UX will fail with this error:
ERROR: The system has VxVM configured, but the VERITAS Volume Manager software was not selected for loading. You are required to load it in order for the installation to succeed. Use the software selection screen to mark the appropriate VxVM software for loading.

VxVM and VxFS installation with update-ux

All of the configurations described in VxVM and VxFS installation through cold-install (page 87) can also be achieved during OEUR updates using update-ux. Just like cold-install, the update process will default to VxFS 5.0 with LVM. To install the VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 5.0 configurations noted in the previous section, simply make sure that the desired bundles are selected in update-ux. To do so, use the following command: update-ux -s depot_path Base-VxFS-50 Base-VxVM-50 VxVM considerations As with other installs, updates to September 2008 OEUR and beyond will not install VxVM by default. You must explicitly select VxVM 5.0 in the update-ux command line to install VxVM. If VxVM is not selected for installation during update and VxVM is currently not in use, update scripts built into the September 2008 OEUR and beyond will automatically remove any unused older versions of VxVM from your system. Unsupported system configurations Many different configurations are selectable at update time, but not all of them would result in supported system configurations. For this reason, pre-update scripts built into the September 2008 OEUR and beyond will block certain updates before they start, to prevent updates into unstable configurations. The scripts will print an error message, and the error can be resolved by restarting the update with different software selections. For example, if an existing 11i v3 system has VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1 configured, and an update is attempted to the September 2008 OEUR and beyond with only VxFS 5.0 selected, the OEUR scripts will block the update. This is done because this update would result in a system that has VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 4.1 installedan unsupported combination of versions. To resolve this error, simply restart the update after selecting both VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 5.0 in update-ux, so that the update results in matching 11i v3 versions of VxFS and VxVM. Other unsupported paths will also be blocked by the scripts of September 2008 OEUR and beyond, and can be resolved in similar ways. (The other most common blocked update occurs when 11i v2 VxVM is in use on a system but you forget to select VxVM 5.0 at update time.) IMPORTANT: If you have created any VxFS file system with disk layout version 2 or version 3, these file systems cannot be mounted under VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3. What to do Use the vxfsconvert or vxupgrade command to upgrade the disk layout to version 4 before upgrading to VxFS 5.0 on HP-UX 11i v3. See the Veritas 5.0 Installation Guide (www.hp.com/go/ hpux-core-docs) for more information on VxFS 5.0.

Updates from HP-UX 1 v2 with OnlineJFS 4.1 to HP-UX 1 v3 with OnlineJFS 5.0 1i 1i
To update HP-UX 11i v2 systems that are installed with HP-UX 11i v2 OnlineJFS 4.1 and that you want to update to HP-UX 11i v3 with OnlineJFS 5.0 (B3929FB), you must deselect HP-UX 11i v3 OnLineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA) during the update. This can be done in the update-ux command line as follows: update-ux -s source_location !B3929EA B3929FB The !B3929EA entry on the command line ensures that 11i v3 OnLineJFS 4.1 is not installed from the depot during the update.
88 Installing VxFS and VxVM

IMPORTANT: Known Problem: When OnLineJFS 5.0 (B3929FB) is selected in the scenario above, the following selection time warning from update-ux may be seen:
WARNING: The following was found while selecting software: - There are new revisions of SW available in the source that would update SW already installed on the system. The newer revisions are not selected for installation. This could leave the incompatible old revision of SW on the system. The affected SW is: - OnlineJFS.VXFS41-AD-RN,r=B.11.31 replaces OnlineJFS01.VXFS41-AD-RN,r=4.1.004

What to Do This warning can be safely ignored. The update will complete successfully despite this warning. This known problem is also listed in Appendix A: Harmless messages and known problems (page 75).

C HP-UX 1 v3 software bundles contained in the OEs 1i

This appendix describes the software bundles included in the HP-UX 11i v3 new Operating Environments. Starting with the March 2008 release, HP presents a set of new Operating Environments for HP-UX 11i v3. These new Operating Environments provide a richer set of products and improved choices over the original set of HP-UX 11i OEs. For more information on the new OEs, see HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments (page 7). For more information on transition, mapping, etc. from original OEs to new OEs, see http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/us/en/products/ hpux11iv3-oes-support-costs.html.

HP-UX 1 v3 Operating Environment install/update structure 1i

HP-UX 11i v3 has an Operating Environment (OE) structure that provides more flexibility in managing the products you wish to install and update on your system. The OE structure for HP-UX 11i v3 separates software components into several product categories, making it easier and more reliable for you to incrementally update your system with OE software components.

Software category OE Recommended OE Required Description All recommended (default-installed) bundles in the OE All required (always-installed) bundles in the OE

Each of the above product categories contain software bundles that are further separated into the following install types: Required: Software and administration tools needed to create a minimally bootable and maintainable system. Only the drivers for basic hardware are included in this category. You may need to install additional drivers to use all hardware components. Software in this category cannot be deselected. This software is always-installed. For a list of the required software bundles, see Required (always-installed) software (page 92). Recommended: Software bundles that HP recommends you install because they fulfill software dependencies, if any exist. You can, however, manually deselect the bundles before you install or update your system. This software is default-installed. To install a minimal operating system configuration (base OS) you can deselect the recommended bundles. Only the minimal core OS will be installed on your system when you deselect the recommended bundles. You can use the OE Recommended software product category (listed in Table C-1 (page 91)) to select or deselect all recommended items. CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment. Software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning correctly. For a list of the recommended software bundles, see Recommended (default-installed) software (page 94). Optional: Software bundles that are not installed or updated by default. You must manually select these bundles before you install or update your system. This software is selectable. For a list of the optional software bundles, see Optional (selectable) software (page 98).
