NOTE: During installation, Ignite-UX (on the File System tab) shows a higher percentage of disk space used than the information in the tables listed above show. The minimums enforced by Ignite-UX ensure that the cold-install completes successfully without filling a file system. This difference exists on all versions of Ignite-UX.

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 file partitions listed in the tables above, and that each partition (most importantly, /usr, /opt, and /var) has at least 10-20 percent free space to allow for any growth.

Disk Space Allocation for File Partitions

Depending on your systems purpose, you may need to determine how much disk space you will need for each file partition 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 size to meet your

24

System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating

needs. For information about modifying your file system, see the HP-UX System Administrators Guide at the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com 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 Using the DRD Toolset to Extend the /stand File System in an LVM Environment (http:// docs.hp.com/en/5992-1913/5992-1913.pdf). Further information on DRD is available at the DRD website: http://docs.hp.com/en/DRD/. You can boot from an Ignite-UX recovery image and resize /stand as you recover the system. For help creating a recovery image, refer to Ignite-UX Administration Guide: for HP-UX 11i available at the Ignite-UX website: http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/.

How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs

This section provides 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, refer to these documents: HP-UX System Administrators Guide This guide is comprised of five volumes and is available on the Instant Information DVD and at the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com Disk and File Management Tasks on HP-UX Prentice-Hall Hewlett-Packard Professional Books, 1997.

Finding Firmware Information

27

Identification of Model, OS/OE, and 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 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 26). 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 OS
To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter: uname -r When a system has HP-UX 11i installed, you can determine which revision (Release ID) is installed by entering the following command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle | fgrep HPUX11i-OE The HPUX11i-OE bundle indicates the current installed revision level. The revision level is indicated both in the bundle version number and in the description text.

Identifying the OE
To identify the Operating Environment currently installed on your system, use swlist. For example: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle HPUX11i-* The output of this command includes a line that identifies the installed OE. For example: HPUX11i-OE B.11.31 HP-UX 11i Base Operating Environment

28

System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating

Identifying Installed Software

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 To list all products and their versions on a DVD mounted at /dvdrom, enter: /usr/sbin/swlist -s /dvdrom To get a table of contents and product details, enter: /usr/sbin/swlist -dvl product -a readme @ /dvdrom The swlist command has many options to expand or narrow the listing to specific attributes. Refer to the swlist(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide, available on the Instant Information DVD and at the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

3 Choosing an Installation Method

This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you choose the most appropriate method to install HP-UX 11i v3 on your system. What You Will Find in This Chapter Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v3 (page 31) Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32) Deciding Which Method to Use (page 33) Mass Storage Stack for HP-UX 11i v3 (page 36) Security Considerations (page 37) Online Diagnostics (page 45) Offline Diagnostics (page 46)

Cold-Installs of HP-UX 1 1i v3
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. Skip this chapter and proceed to installing applications in Chapter 7: Installing HP Applications and Patches (page 97). IMPORTANT: Make sure you review the HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating DVD booklet for situations not discussed here that may apply to your system. 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. You can choose two different methods to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on a supported system: 1) by direct installation from the DVD media; 2) by creating depots on servers using SD-UX or Ignite-UX and installing it over the network. 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. Supported versions of HP-UX that can be configured as Ignite-UX servers include HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3. Ignite-UX servers installed on any of these HP-UX systems can be configured to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3.

Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v3

Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 1 1i v3

Update means using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot. An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23). Updating from any other release directly to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported. NOTE: Updating from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported. You must first update to an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. Please 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.

Update Path Notes

You cannot downgrade to a lower level Operating Environment. See Table 3-1 (page 33) for supported update paths. You cannot update between server Operating Environments and technical Operating Environments. 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 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.

Deciding Which Method to Use

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
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 How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs (page 25).

Deciding Which Method to Use

33

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 to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32).

You can cold-install from any supported configuration. See Supported Systems (page 26). The process described in this guide cold-installs a single system from local media. If you plan to install many systems simultaneously, use an Ignite-UX server. Additional information on Ignite-UX and newer versions are available at http://docs.hp.com/en/ IUX/ See Chapter 4: Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 47) for more information about preparing your system for cold-install and then read the cold-install process using Ignite-UX in Chapter 5: Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 From Media (page 61).

When to Update
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 to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32) 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 How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs (page 25).

You can choose two different methods to update to HP-UX 11i v3 on a supported system: 1) by the using the update-ux terminal user interface; 2) by using the update-ux command line interface. 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 to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32). See Chapter 4: Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 47) 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 77).

What Software Source to Use

When cold-installing or updating your systems, you can choose to update using media, copy the contents of media into network depots, or create a golden image of the desired

system for installing many similar systems. The process described in this guide cold-installs and updates a single system from local media. If you are cold-installing or updating one system at a time Cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v3 media kit: HP-UX 11i v3 OE media Boot and install a new system or update an existing system. HP-UX Application media Install applications not installed with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application. If you plan to cold-install or update on many systems in your enterprise You can consolidate your software sources in a network depot: Network Depot Use Software Distributor (SD) commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install or update from the depot using Ignite-UX or update-ux. For help with this method, refer to the swcopy(1M) manpage, the Software Distributor Administration Guide (http:// docs.hp.com/en/SD/index.html), and the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http:// docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). If you plan to create many similar systems in your enterprise You can use an Ignite-UX server to create a faster software source than an SD depot: Golden Image Create a golden image from which to cold-install. A golden image is a snapshot of a known, good operating system installation and configuration for use in installing other clients. The copied (source) client is called the golden image. This install image can contain the OS and OE, other applications, and any needed patches. After the archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another system, you can cold-install on each client system in a single-pass operation; you need to reboot each client only once. Please refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/ oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX) for more information on golden images.

Managing a Network Depot with Patch Bundles 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 Download page: http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/ download.html 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

Mass Storage Stack for HP-UX 1 1i v3

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. This representation increases the reliability, adaptability, performance, and scalability of the mass storage stack, without the need for operator intervention.

HP-UX 1 1i v3 Hardware 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. These paths are described below. Legacy hardware path The legacy hardware path is the format used in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3, and is displayed in the legacy view. It is composed of a series of bus-nexus addresses separated by / leading to the host bus adapter (HBA); beyond the HBA, additional address elements are separated by .. Lunpath hardware path The lunpath format enables the use of more targets and LUNs than are permitted under legacy hardware paths, and is printed in the agile view. It is identical in format to a legacy hardware path, up to the HBA (and represents the same path to the LUN). Beyond the HBA, additional elements are printed in hexadecimal. LUN hardware path The LUN format is a virtualized path that represents all the lunpaths to a single LUN. It is printed in the agile view. Instead of a series of bus-nexus addresses leading to the HBA, the path contains a virtual bus-nexus (referred as the virtual root node) with an address of 64000. An example of a LUN hardware path is 64000/0xfa00/0x22.

36

Choosing an Installation Method

HP-UX 1 1i v3 Device Special File (DSF)

In a similar way to hardware paths, there are two types of 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. These DSFs are described below. A legacy device special file was the only type of mass storage DSF in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3, so it is associated with the legacy view. It is locked to a particular physical hardware path, or lunpath, and does not support agile addressing. Each lunpath requires a different DSF, so a multi-pathed LUN has multiple DSFs, one for each lunpath. A persistent device special file is associated with a LUN hardware path, and is seen in the agile view. Because it is based on the LUN hardware path, rather than the lunpath, it transparently supports agile addressing and multipathing. Like the LUN hardware path, the binding of device special file to device persists across reboots, but is not guaranteed to persist across installations.

Device Files: 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. If you update from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, existing legacy DSFs are retained, and persistent DSFs will be created. In addition, 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 on the new mass storage stack, see the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 at http://docs.hp.com/en/MassStorageStack/The_Next_Generation_Mass_Storage_Stack.pdf

Security Considerations
HP-UX Bastille (HPUXBastille) is included as recommended software on the Operating Environment media and can be installed and run with Ignite-UX or Update-UX, (see Predefined Security Levels (page 38)). HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening and lockdown tool that can be used to enhance security of the HP-UX operating system. It provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis by encoding functionality similar to Bastion Host and other hardening and lockdown checklists. NOTE: For more information about HP-UX Bastille, refer to the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes and the HP-UX System Administrators Guide.
HP-UX 11i v3 Device Special File (DSF) 37

Predefined Security Levels

At cold-install or update-time, you can choose one of the security levels listed in Table 3-2, with each one providing incrementally higher security. Table 3-2 Predefined Security Configuration
Security Level Sec00Tools2 Sec10Host3 Sec20MngDMZ3 Configuration File Name1 Not applicable HOST.config MANDMZ.config Description The install-time security infrastructure; no security changes. Host-based lockdown: firewall pre-enablement; some common clear-text services turned off, excluding Telnet and FTP. Lockdown while allowing secure management: IPFilter firewall blocks incoming connections except common, relatively safe, management protocols. Network-DMZ Lockdown: IPFilter blocks all incoming connections except HP-UX Secure Shell.

Configuration files are installed to /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/configs/defaults Sec00Tools is installed by default. Sec10Host, Sec20MngDMZ, and Sec30DMZ are selectable.

NOTE: When you select either the Sec30DMZ, or MngDMZ security level, IPFilter will restrict inbound network connections. For more information on how to add inbound ports to your /etc/opt/ipf.customerrules file, refer to the HP-UX IPFilter (Version A.03.05.09 and later) Administrator's Guide and the HP-UX System Administrators Guide. Selecting Your Security Levels at Install Time During installation, you can configure your security levels by navigating to the System tab from the Ignite-UX Graphical User Interface Installation and Configuration dialog box. The System tab allows you to configure information unique to your system such as security levels, hostname, IP address, root password, and the time zone. For ease of use, HP recommends using the System tab to select the security level appropriate for your deployment as described below. 1. Do one of the following: If you are using the Ignite-UX GUI, navigate to the System tab (from the Ignite-UX Installation and Configuration dialog box) and select Security Choices. If you are using the Ignite Install HP-UX Wizard, navigate to the Additional Software screen and select Security Choices.

Serviceguard Configuration (Post-Installation) to Enable Use with Security Levels

NOTE: For the most complete information on configuring Bastille with Serviceguard, see the appropriate version of the HP Serviceguard Release Notes at http:// www.docs.hp.com/en/ha.html#Serviceguard. Configuring Sec20MngDMZ or Sec30DMZ for Use with Serviceguard Serviceguard uses dynamic ports. To enable operation, the possible-SG port range must be opened. Opening the port range is not consistent with the security goals of Sec20MngDMZ (MANDMZ.config) and Sec30DMZ (DMZ.config) since multiple services (including other rpc-like applications), may also listen to this same port range. The firewall, however, will still provide security benefits consistent with the Serviceguard security deployment model as described in the Securing Serviceguard document at http://docs.hp.com/ Before you open the Serviceguard port range make sure you review the required IPFilter-SG rules, which are documented in the HP-UX IPFilter (Version A.03.05.09 and later) Administrator's Guide at http://docs.hp.com/en/B9901-90031 Serviceguard requires one additional service, identd. Enable it by following the steps below. 1. Edit the HP-UX Bastille /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/config configuration file by changing the answer to the question: Should Bastille ensure inetd's ident service does not run on this system? 2. 3. Change the answer from Y to N as follows: SecureInetd.deactivate_ident="N" Apply the configuration file changes. You can update your system configuration manually or use HP-UX Bastille to update your system configuration. The former will require fewer steps on systems that have been manually configured, after a user has configured the system using the Bastille tool, and the latter will require

fewer steps on systems that had not been manually configured, after a user has configured the system using the Bastille tool. Do one of the following: Manually update the system configuration: Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file by uncommenting (remove the #) the following line: #auth stream tcp6 wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd Force inetd to reread the configuration by running the following command: # inetd -c Use HP-UX Bastille to update the configuration: Revert to the previous HP-UX Bastille configuration; then apply the new HP-UX Bastille configuration. # bastille -r # bastille -b

Configuring HP-UX Bastille Sec10Host To configure the HP-UX Bastille Sec10 Host, refer to the Securing Serviceguard document at http://docs.hp.com/ CAUTION: When reverting to the configuration prior to the use of HP-UX Bastille, note these precautions: Security configuration changes will be undone temporarily. Other manual configuration changes or additional software installed since HP-UX Bastille was initially run may result in HP-UX Bastille requiring a manual merge of configuration settings. Refer to the Bastille question text in the HP-UX System Administrators Guide or in the Bastille GUI for detail on the precise interactions.

Security Choice Dependencies

The Sec00Tools security level is installed by default on your system. Although Sec00Tools does not implement any security changes at cold-install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (Figure 3-1) is installed. The Sec00Tools security level contains the pre-built configuration files that you can use to create a security level or you can use it as a template to create a custom security configuration. The Sec00Tools security level also ensures that the software needed by those security levels is present. Alternately, you can lock down your system using one of the following selectable security levels at cold-install- or update-time:

Secured Services and Protocols

Each security level provides incrementally higher security by locking down various protocols and services. HP-UX Bastille uses a series of questions to determine which services and protocols to secure. Using one of the security levels applies a default security profile, simplifying the lockdown process. The following tables detail the services and protocols affected by the security levels, listed in Table 3-2 (page 38), if you choose to apply one at cold-install- or update-time: Table 3-3 (page 42) lists the security settings for Sec10Host. These settings also apply to Sec20MngDMZ and Sec30DMZ. Table 3-4 (page 44) lists the security settings applied with Sec20MngDMZ, in addition to the settings in Table 3-3. Table 3-5 (page 45) lists the security settings applied with Sec30DMZ, in addition to the settings in Table 3-3 and Table 3-4.

Security Considerations

41

IMPORTANT: Review these tables carefully. Some of the locked down services and protocols may be used by other applications, and may have adverse effects on the behavior or functionality of these applications. For example, HP Systems Insight Manager and Partition Manager rely on WBEM to communicate between hosts; Sec30DMZ blocks all incoming WBEM connections via IPFilter, though local and outbound communication is not blocked. In addition, some third-party installation scripts may not correctly handle the more conservative umask value of 027 set by the security levels. You can change the security settings configured at cold-install- or update-time by running HP-UX Bastille after installing or updating your system.

Online Diagnostics
The 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 following documents at http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html: Online Diagnostics (EMS and STM) Administrator's Guide Administrator's and User's Guide for SFM

CAUTION: Removing the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle, or both, prevents products with dependencies on the diagnostics from functioning correctly. If the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle are not installed, protections from some hardware failures are removed, and it is much harder to troubleshoot and fix problems when a hardware failure occurs. The OnlineDiag and SysFaultMgmt bundles are always-installed with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment. Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 release, upon a successful OE upgrade, SFM is the default monitoring system for monitoring the core hardware components. Certain EMS Hardware Monitors (in the OnlineDiag bundle) are replaced by SFMIndicationProvider and are shut down as soon as an OE upgrade is initiated.
Online Diagnostics 45

Upon the successful completion of the OE upgrade, SFM is the default monitoring system. However, STM, which is included in the OnlineDiag bundle, restarts and continues to function properly. Although SFMIndicationProvider replaces certain EMS Hardware Monitors, you can continue to receive all the events from the remaining EMS Hardware Monitors through the EMS framework. Indications generated by the SFMIndicationProvider can be directed to the EMS framework through the WBEM Wrapper Monitor. For information on the monitors that the SFMIndicationProvider replaces, and for instructions on how to switch to the EMS monitoring mode, see the SFM Release Notes available at http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html.

Offline Diagnostics
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. ODE is available on the following media: HP Itanium-Processor Family (IPF) Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD, for Itanium-based systems. HP 9000 PA-RISC Offline Diagnostics CD, for PA-RISC systems.

HP highly recommends that you get the latest CD and update the Offline Diagnostics for improved functionality. Note that the CD-ROMs are OS independent and ordered separately from each other and of any operating system media. You can order for the latest CD-ROM for your PA-RISC or Itanium-based systems from one of the following websites: Software Depot: http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot Biz Support for Itanium-based systems: http://www.hp.com/support/Itaniumservers Biz Support for HP 9000 systems: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ Product.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodCatId=321931 For more information on ODE, refer to the Offline Diagnostics section on the following website: http://docs.hp.com/en/diag.html

4 Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 1 1i v3

This chapter details the preparation tasks required to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3. What You Will Find in This Chapter Cold-Install Tasks (page 47) Update Tasks (page 54) Backing Up Your System (page 56) Locating Source Media and Codewords (page 59) The Next Step (page 60)

Cold-Install Tasks
Prior to cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3, perform these tasks: Select an HP-UX Console (Itanium-based systems only), if appropriate. Back up any configuration files you want to reinstall. Make a recovery image of your system. If you intend to use Ignite-UX to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on more than one system, update your Ignite-UX server. For more information, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). Locate source media and codewords.

Task 1: Selecting Your HP-UX Console for Itanium-based Systems

NOTE: This section does not apply to PA-RISC systems. If you are cold-installing on a PA-RISC system, you can skip this section and proceed to Task 2: Backing Up Your Configuration Files (page 52). If you are using an Itanium-based system, HP-UX requires that you select the correct console via a console selection menu or EFI. (If you are already on the system console, then you can skip this section.) Even if you have ordered a machine with HP-UX pre-installed, you will want to choose your console, despite the factory defaults. If you are cold-installing HP-UX or changing your system configuration, you will need to select the correct console. Skipping this step can result in HP-UX using an unexpected device as a console, which can appear as a system hang. 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

Cold-Install Tasks

47

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. Determining if the conconfig Command Exists on your System 1. At the EFI prompt type 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)

NOTE: 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 exists on your system, use either the conconfig command or the EFI Boot Manager to select your primary HP-UX console.

48

Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3

Using the conconfig Command to Select the Primary HP-UX Console 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. Reboot your system.

TIP: For more information on the conconfig command, enter the following at the EFI prompt: help conconfig Using the EFI Boot Manager to Select the Primary HP-UX Console 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:

50

Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3

a. Open the EFI Boot Manager and select Boot Configuration, as in the following:

b. On the Boot Configuration screen, choose Console Configuration, as in the following:

c. 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.

Cold-Install Tasks

51

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.

Understanding Interface Differences Between Itanium-based Systems 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. Please refer to 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.

Task 2: Backing Up Your Configuration Files

If you plan to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on a system that already has HP-UX installed, make sure to save the files that you want to reinstall, such as:

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

Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3

If multiple users are preparing for the cold-install, you might consider creating a file system. Mount it with smh. Then create a subdirectory for each system or user (for example, /backup/your_sys). As root, copy the files. For example: 1. Copy all config files from /etc on a system named system1 to system system2. On system2, enter: mkdir /backup/system1/etc rcp -p your_name@system1:/etc/* /backup/system1/etc/ 2. Copy your local home directory to the backup system: mkdir /backup/system1/home rcp -pr your_name@system1:/home/ /backup/system1/home/

Task 3: Making a Recovery Image of Your System

Any data on the client disks that are used for installation, including the operating system, are removed entirely as part of this installation process. Make a recovery image of your system so you can easily restore it to its original state if a problem occurs. See Backing Up Your System (page 56) for more information.

Task 4: Updating Your Ignite-UX Server

Ignite-UX supports network-based installations, which might be convenient when installing many systems. For more information, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX).

Task 5: Locating Source Media and Codewords

Locate the source media needed for the cold-install. See Locating Source Media and Codewords (page 59) for instructions.

Cold-Install Tasks

53

Update Tasks
Prior to updating to HP-UX 11i v3, perform these tasks: Identify all software products and bundles on your system. Rebuild the HP-UX kernel. Rename your log files to make it easier to find problems encountered during an update. Back up your operating system using the Ignite-UX make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery command. Locate source media and codewords.

Task 1: Identifying Software Versions

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

3.

Task 2: 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 Fix any problems listed in the mk_kernel output. Reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel boots.

Task 3: Renaming Your Log Files

To make it easier to look for problems encountered during an update, rename the log files before starting an update: 1. 2. cd /var/adm/sw As root, rename each log file. For example: mv swagent.log swagent_old.log

54

Update Tasks

55

Backing Up Your System

Back up your system before performing a cold-install or update, and again after the cold-install or update. If a problem occurs, you can easily restore the system to its original state. Backing up your system includes the following tasks: Task 1: Creating an Operating System Recovery Image Task 2: Backing Up Your Data Files

Task 1: Creating an Operating System Recovery Image

To protect your system data, create an operating system recovery image to be used in the event of cold-install or update problems: The Ignite-UX server has two commands you can use to create an operating system recovery image: make_net_recovery Use this command to create an operating system recovery image and store it on an Ignite-UX server on the network. This command works on any system that has Ignite-UX installed. See Using make_net_recovery (page 56). make_tape_recovery Use this command to create an operating system recovery image on a bootable recovery tape. This command works on any system that has a local tape drive and Ignite-UX installed. This command also works on any system without an Ignite-UX server. See Using make_tape_recovery (page 57). The Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) toolset can also be used to create an operating system recovery image: drd clone Use this command to create an operating system image on a free local or SAN disk. This command works on any system that has the DRD toolset installed. See Using drd clone (page 58). NOTE: 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 does not recommend using Ignite-UX recovery tools to backup and recover data other than essential system data. The DRD toolset can only be used to backup the root volume group. Using make_net_recovery The Ignite-UX product has the make_net_recovery command to create an operating system 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
56 Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3

root disk failure, you use the Ignite-UX server to restore the system by installing the operating system recovery image. The contents of the operating system 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. You can run make_net_recovery in its interactive mode to review the directories and files that make up the essential list, and to add or remove other data from the image on a disk/volume group, file, or directory basis. For more information on using make_net_recovery, refer to the make_net_recovery(1M) manpage or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http:// docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). Using make_tape_recovery The Ignite-UX products make_tape_recovery command creates a bootable operating system recovery tape for a system while it is up and running. When a system has a logical volume layout, the recovery tape 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 operating system recovery tape. To create the bootable recovery tape, enter: /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av where A specifies the entire root disk or volume group and v is for verbose mode. Additionally, you can specify more than one volume group with the -x option. If you intend to use a tape drive other than the default (/dev/rmt/0m), modify the command to point to the device you want to use, for example, a tape drive at /dev/ rmt/3mn: /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -a /dev/rmt/3mn To recover a failed system disk or volume group after an operating system recovery tape has been made, simply load the recovery tape, boot the system and interrupt the boot sequence to redirect to the tape drive. Allow the install process to complete. Do not intervene. The system will reboot and, because map files for all associated volume groups have been saved on the tape, any other existing volume groups are imported and mounted automatically. Data that is not in the root volume group must be backed up and recovered using normal backup utilities. For more information on using make_tape_recovery, refer to the make_tape_recovery( 1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http:// docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX).

Backing Up Your System

57

Using drd clone The drd clone command allows you to create an operating system 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 11iv2 to 11iv3 on the active system image, you can go back and forth between the inactive 11iv2 image and the updated 11iv3 image by ensuring the following: That you have manually installed DRD version A.3.1.0.1027 or greater onto your updated HP-UX 11i v3 system image if you updated to HP-UX 11i v3 update 1 (September 2007) or update 2 (March 2008). Due to a packaging problem that has now been fixed, the 11i v2 version of DRD does not get automatically updated on the 11i v3 system. That you do not use the drd runcmd operation when an HP-UX 11i v2 system is booted, and HP-UX 11i v3 is installed on the inactive image. Use of this operation would invoke 11i v3 libraries and executables, which can make system calls not supported on the 11i v2 kernel. 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. For more information on using drd clone and the DRD toolset, refer to the Dynamic Root Disk System Administrators Guide for HP-UX, DRD white papers, and other DRD documentation (http://docs.hp.com/en/DRD/infolib.html).

Task 2: Backing Up Your Data Files

There are a number of different backup methods you may wish to choose from depending on your system backup needs and your configurations. Some recommended backup methods are: HP OpenView Storage Data Protector HP-UX fbackup/frecover utilities

58

Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3

Choosing HP Storage Data Protector for Backup If you are backing up large numbers of systems, the HP Storage 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 OpenView Storage Data Protector website at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/dataprotector/ 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 for examples.

Locating Source Media and Codewords

Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, locate the source media needed for the cold-install or update. See the section called, Media Kit Contents (page 19) for more information. You can obtain a codeword for a purchased product by contacting one of the HP licensing services in Table 4-1: Table 4-1 HP Licensing Services

62 Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 From Media

This section contains the following tasks: Task 1: Booting Your Machine (page 65) Task 2: Selecting Your Installation Type (page 67) Task 3: Configuring Your Installation (page 69) Task 4: Finishing Your Installation (page 72)

CAUTION: The cold-install process overwrites everything on all disks selected to participate in the install. Make sure you have completed backups in Backing Up Your System (page 56).

Before You Begin

Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, you need to collect information about your existing system. This section contains tables where you can record information. Then, when you are installing HP-UX 11i v3, you use information from the Miscellaneous Data and Network Data collection tables when needed. Use the collection tables: If you chose the Advanced Installation, an interface gives you the opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning of the install. The Advanced Installation also gives you more control over file system configuration. The interface is a tabbed file-folder and 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 called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 at http://docs.hp.com/ 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. 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.

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 From Media

Task 1: Booting Your Machine

This task describes how to boot your system from the install media. If you want to boot an Itanium-based system, follow the instructions in the section called, Booting Your Itanium-based System below. If you want to boot a PA-RISC system, follow the instructions in Booting Your PA-RISC System (page 66). 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. From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built In). b. 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 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. The list of devices is displayed automatically, and the install process selects the device for you.

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 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. 1. Select the Configuration Menu: CO 2. If the Fast Boot selection is available, switch Fast Boot ON: FB ON 3. Return to the Main Menu: MA (Remember to switch Fast Boot back OFF after installing HP-UX 11i.) The full memory check that is run when Fast Boot is OFF may take several hours on a large system. 5. Search for bootable devices, using the choices displayed (for example, enter search or sea). A table similar to this is displayed:
Path# ----P0 P1 P2 Device Path ----------SCSI LAN.1.2.3.4.5.6 FWSCSI.6.0 Device Type ----------HP DVD-ROM 1.2.3.4 IBM DDRS-34560WS

Of the media listed, a fast/wide SCSI device (FWSCSI) is usually a disk, whereas a single-ended SCSI device (SCSI) can be a disk or CD/DVD drive. 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. Please 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.

3.

From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree of customizing needed to configure the installation. Mark your choices and select OK. Select from one of the three choices shown in Source Location Options: Media only installation is the default setting for installing from a DVD. 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: Guided Installation provides limited system configuration and is expected to be deprecated in a future release. 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.

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, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. (http://docs.hp.com/ en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX).

Task 3: 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. In the Configurations field, select an overall system configuration that you want to use for this installation.

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. Please 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. For further information, including disk requirements, supported peripherals, and preparing the client for installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http:// docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). 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.

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. IMPORTANT: Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs) included VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1. Starting with the September 2008 OEUR, the following versions are included: VxFS 4.1, VxFS 5.0, and VxVM 5.0. Only VxFS 4.1 is installed by default, meaning that all other versions are optional. This has important implications for many install scenarios. For detailed instructions and information about how this impacts you, consult Appendix C (page 129).

5.

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.

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 From Media

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 chose the No User Interface option, then you cannot deselect the recommended (default-installed) software bundles. To improve the software selection process, HP-UX 11i v3 offers software product categories and install types from which you can select. See HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Install/Update Structure (page 133). To select or deselect the software bundles: Navigate to the Software tab. If you wish to avoid a manual extra media swap, change the source from media to a network depot using the Change Depot Location... button in the lower right hand corner of 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. 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). For more information about setting appropriate security levels, see Security Considerations (page 37). To set the appropriate security settings for your system, do the following: Navigate to the System tab and select Security Choices. The four security levels appear. By default, Sec00Tools is selected. 8. Select the appropriate security setting for your system. Select OK.

Use the File System tab to perform a variety of filesystem and disk-configuration tasks: for example, resizing file systems and adding and removing disks. You can also re-configure 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. Please 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, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). 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. 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 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.

Task 4: Finishing Your Installation

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. 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 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.

Post-Install Tasks
After the cold-install, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may need them to install drivers or other software later. In addition, installing HP-UX 11i v3 installs a minimum set of default networking drivers that apply to the system. You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes available at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

Task 1: Configuring OE 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. Refer to each products installation instructions for details. The location of OE product-specific documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available on the Instant Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/ oshpux11iv3.html#Release%20Notes.

Task 2: Migrating to the Agile Mass Storage Stack (Optional)

In HP-UX 11i v3 there are two types of 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. 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 they 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. 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. You may choose to migrate to the new agile mass storage stack or you can continue to use the legacy mass storage stack. If you want to use the new features of the agile mass
Post-Install Tasks 73

storage stack and are not affected by existing limitations, you may want to migrate 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 refer to the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 and the white paper called HP-UX 11i v3 Persistent DSF Migration Guide at http://docs.hp.com/

Task 3: Retrieving Information After Cold-installing

After completing the cold-install, you can retrieve the information you had previously saved onto another system. Create 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.

Recover 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. Restore /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

74

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 From Media

find . -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter: frecover -x -i /system1/home -v Restore 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, refer to either HP-UX System Administrators Guide or Managing Superdome Complexes. The commands cited in this section do not write over newer files, so your new operating system and any files you update are well protected.

6 Updating to HP-UX 1 1i v3
This chapter describes updating your system to HP-UX 11i v3 using Update-UX. What You Will Find in This Chapter Before You Begin (page 77) Reviewing the Update Process (page 78) Updating Tips (page 80) Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 80) Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Terminal User Interface (page 83) Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Command Line Interface (page 92) Post-Update Tasks (page 94) The Next Step (page 95)

Before You Begin

Before you update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that: You are updating from a supported migration path. See Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32). Your system meets the system requirements to update and operate HP-UX 11i v3. For more details see Chapter 2: System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating (page 21). You have completed the preparation tasks required to update your system. For more information see Chapter 4: Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 47).

NOTE: Updating from a release of HP-UX to a version of HP-UX that was released earlier in time is not supported. This could cause system incompatibilities and unpredictable results. If you attempt to update to an earlier version 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.

Reviewing the Update Process

This section describes updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot. Figure 6-1 (page 79) shows the overall update process. You can update your system using one of the following methods: From a network depot Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then update from the depot using the update-ux terminal user interface or command line interface. For help with this method, refer to the swcopy(1M) manpage, the Software Distributor Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/SD/index.html) and the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX). From DVD media Use either the update-ux terminal user interface described in Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Terminal User Interface (page 83) or the update-ux command line interface described in Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Command Line Interface (page 92).

NOTE: If your system is on HP Mission Critical Support, discuss the proper method of installing the OE with your HP Customer Engineer. IMPORTANT: You must install the latest version of Update-UX prior to updating your system. The latest version of Update-UX allows you to use the preview (-p) option, which is new for HP-UX 11i v3. Failure to install the latest version of Update-UX may cause the update to fail. For instructions, see Task 2: Install the Latest Update-UX Bundle (page 82). IMPORTANT: Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs) included VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1. Starting with the September 2008 OEUR, the following versions are included: VxFS 4.1, VxFS 5.0, and VxVM 5.0. Only VxFS 4.1 is installed by default, meaning that all other versions are optional. This has important implications for many install scenarios. For detailed instructions and information about how this impacts you, consult Appendix C (page 129).

Updating Tips
Table 6-1 suggests some tips and recommendations to be aware of during an update process: Table 6-1 Updating Tips
Topic Running Other Commands All Software Does Not Get Updated Tip 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 may be either 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. 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 (page 105) for possible solutions.

Updating to HP-UX 1 1i v3
Updating your system using update-ux includes the following tasks: Task 1: Create a network depot (optional). Create a network depot only if you intend to update other systems on the network. If you are not creating a network depot, you can skip this task. See Task 1: Create a Network Depot (Optional) (page 81). Task 2: Install the latest version of update-ux. See Task 2: Install the Latest Update-UX Bundle (page 82). Task 3: Update your system using update-ux. You can choose two different methods to update to HP-UX 11i v3 on a supported system: 1) by the using the update-ux terminal user interface; 2) by using the
80 Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

update-ux command line interface. See Task 3: Update Your System Using Update-UX (page 83). After updating to HP-UX 11i v3, you might need to configure OE Applications to make your system fully functional. See Post-Update Tasks (page 94) for instructions. NOTE: In HP-UX 11i v3, there are two types of 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. During an update from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, existing legacy DSFs are retained and persistent DSFs will be created. Configuration files will not be modified, so system devices will continue to use the existing legacy DSFs. For more information on the new mass storage stack, see the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 available at the following website: http://docs.hp.com/ NOTE: 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 available at http://docs.hp.com/

Task 1: Create a Network Depot (Optional)

Create a network depot only if you intend to update other systems on the network using a depot. This allows you to update all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. It also allows you to use the preview (-p) option, which is new for HP-UX 11i v3. You can use the preview (-p) option with either a depot or media. If you are not creating a network depot, you can skip this task. As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX 11i v3 two-DVD set onto a depot server: NOTE: depot. 1. Make sure you copy all products from both HP-UX 11i v3 DVDs to your target

2.

Verify that you have at least 6 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, refer to either SMH help or the HP-UX System Administrators Guide. The HP-UX 11i v3 operating system comes as a two DVD set. Insert the first DVD into the drive.

For example: swinstall -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update-depot Update-UX

Task 3: Update Your System Using Update-UX

After you have installed the Update-UX bundle on the target system and, optionally, created a network depot containing all software to be installed, 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 83). update-ux command line interface. See Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Command Line Interface (page 92). NOTE: Before you update your system to HP-UX 11i v3, review the known problems in Appendix A (page 105). Make sure to resolve any applicable issues before starting an update from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3. Updating to HP-UX 1 1i v3 Using the Terminal User Interface This section describes how to update your system using the update-ux Terminal User Interface (TUI).
Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 83

With the TUI, you use the Arrow, Tab, Space, and Return keys to navigate. There are seven steps in the TUI update-ux process: Table 6-2 TUI update-ux Steps

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

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. 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 operating system. In addition, software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning correctly. 1. Use the spacebar to select or deselect software from the list. 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 unselected 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 E 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. 2. After selecting the software you wish to install, type p (preview) to preview the actions that will occur for the update without modifying the system. The output window appears and begins displaying messages beginning with: Analyzing software to be installed.
Step 5: Analysis (Preview)

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. When the analysis is complete press Enter to return to the Software Selection tab and start the actual update process (see Step 6: Update (page 90)).

NOTE: Make sure to read Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 (page 32) to ensure that you are updating your system from a supported update path. Adding and Removing Operating Environments From the Command Line An Operating Environment (OE) represents a specific HP-UX release that can be installed on a system. To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and include a specific HP-UX 11i v3 OE, you need to specify the OE name in the update-ux command. For example, to update to HP-UX 11i v3 and install the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE, insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD in the local drive mounted at /dvdrom. As root, enter: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE NOTE: 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.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 93

Updating Optional Software From the Command Line To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and specify additional optional software bundles on the command line, follow these steps: 1. If you want to install additional optional software included with the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE collection, enter: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE optional_software_bundle_name 2. Complete any configuration for HP software explained in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes available on the Instant Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/ oshpux11iv3.html

Post-Update Tasks
Task 1: Configuring OE 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. Refer to each products installation instructions for details. The location of OE product documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available on the Instant Information DVD and at the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com

Task 2: Migrating to the Agile Mass Storage Stack (Optional)

In HP-UX 11i v3, there are two types of 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. 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 they 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. 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, so system devices will continue to use the existing legacy DSFs. You may choose to migrate to the new agile mass storage stack or you can continue to use the legacy mass storage stack. If you want to use the new features of the agile mass storage stack and are not affected by existing limitations, you may want to migrate 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 refer to the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage

7 Installing HP Applications and Patches

This chapter describes how to install HP applications from the Application Software DVD, and provides references for patching and patch management. Before you begin, make sure you have already completed installing or updating HP-UX. What You Will Find in This Chapter Installing HP-UX Applications (page 97) Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications (page 97) Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD (page 98) HP-UX Patching and Patch Management (page 99) Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles (page 99) Individual HP-UX Patches (page 100) HP-UX Software Assistant (page 100) Reduce Downtime Using Dynamic Root Disk (page 101)

Installing HP-UX Applications

Your HP-UX 11i v3 media kit contains the HP-UX Application Software DVD. The Application Software DVD has optional development tools and system management software that you can choose to install new or update the existing software on your system.

Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications

Here are some tips for installing or updating HP applications: The HP-UX Application Software DVD has an ASCII file called TABLE_OF_CONTENTS that lists all software products delivered with the Application Software DVD. 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 use the same swinstall session. 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 go to the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com

Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD

Before you begin, review Appendix A (page 105) for any installation issues that apply to your system. Required Media Have the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software DVD ready from 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 DVD: 1. 2. Insert the Application Software DVD in the DVD drive. Mount the Application Software DVD. To install software from the Application Software DVD, you must mount the DVD as a file system that HP-UX 11i v3 can access: a. Determine the DVD device name. Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD devices. b. Create a mount point for the Application Software DVD, if one does not yet exist. The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point for the DVD. Often a /dvdrom directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir /dvdrom command. c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD. Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount point. For example, the following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /dvdrom directory: mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dvdrom Refer to the mount(1M) manpage for details. 3. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the swlist command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l product

4.

To install software from the Application Software DVD, use the swinstall command: The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /dvdrom: swinstall -i -s /dvdrom Refer to the swinstall(1M) manpage for details. The swinstall program presents an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.

5.

Unmount and eject the Application Software DVD. You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots. Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example, umount /dvdrom unmounts the /dvdrom file system. Refer to the umount (1M) manpage for details.

NOTE: After you install or update HP-UX 11i v3, the latest critical patches that shipped with the media are installed on your system. Other recommended critical or required patches may have become available after the initial release of the media. On a regular basis go to the HP IT Resource Center for any new, recommended critical patches: http://itrc.hp.com

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 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 system application. Hewlett-Packard provides several methods to patch HP-UX systems: Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles (page 99) Individual HP-UX Patches (page 100) HP-UX Software Assistant (page 100)

Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles

The HP-UX OE media provides standard HP-UX patch bundles for HP-UX core file sets and applications, 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 bundle software is cumulative and replaces completely any previous bundle release for the same operating system (OS) release. For descriptions of the standard HP-UX patch bundles (including Hardware Enablement, Quality Pack, and Feature Enablement), see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes. In
HP-UX Patching and Patch Management 99

addition to being delivered on the OE media, the standard HP-UX patch bundles are available at the HP IT Resource Center website at http://itrc.hp.com Documentation The Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems provides information and procedures on how to acquire and install standard HP-UX patch bundles. You can find the document at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html (navigate to Patch Management).

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 on the HP IT Resource Center website at 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.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html (navigate to Patch Management): The HP-UX Software Assistant Release Notes provides the features and functionality of the latest release, and known problems. The HP-UX Software Assistant System Administration Guide provides an introduction to the tool, how to use it, how to use the reporting, and troubleshooting.

Reduce 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 (initial release, Update 1, Update 2 or Update 3) to HP-UX 11i v3 Update 4 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)

The bundle name is DynRootDisk. The product name is DRD. 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. The HP-UX Dynamic Root Disk website at http://docs.hp.com/en/DRD provides a product overview, download links, documentation links, and installation instructions. 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, available at the above website.

8 Verifying System Install or Update

This chapter provides steps to verify that your system is ready and back in production. Before you begin, make sure you have already completed either cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. What You Will Find in This Chapter Verifying the HP-UX Cold-Install or Update (page 103) Backing Up the System (page 104) The Next Step (page 104) TIP: This chapter provides verification information for the HP-UX cold-install and update applications. To verify other vendor applications, refer to the appropriate vendor documentation.

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. In addition, you can view the results of your update in the log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log. Refer to Step 6: Update (page 90) for more information. TIP: For help with these commands, refer to the swlist(1M) and swverify(1M) manpages, and the Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant Information DVD or the HP Technical Documentation website: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

Task 1: 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 DVD and the Application Software DVD. To see the contents of a DVD, issue the following command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product -s /dvdrom > /tmp/dvdcontent

Verifying the HP-UX Cold-Install or Update

103

Task 2: Verifying the Installed Software

You can verify that all software was successfully installed on your system by typing 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

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 56).

The Next Step

Now that you have installed or updated your system and have all the HP applications that you need, you may want to configure additional hardware or file systems. You can find many configuration tasks in the HP-UX System Administrators Guide (http:// www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#System%20Administration).

VEA 5.0 is bundled with JRE 1.5.0.2, which doesn't support large base page sizes (64K base page size). Because of this, the problem occurs when HP-UX has been configured to use large base pages. This problem will also occur when running VEA on an unpatched Integrity VM host, as the Integrity VM default configuration includes large base page size for performance optimization. What To Do Install the patch, PHCO_37694, which will update the version of JRE in VEA 5.0 without requiring a reboot. For availability of the patch, check the HP IT Resource Center site: http://itrc.hp.com.

Problem Removal of SWA Generates Harmless Message in swagent.log Description/Action During removal of HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) from your system, the unconfigure stage may generate a message in the swagent.log that there was a problem with connecting to the HP SIM server:
There was an error in CLIClientLogon constructor There was a problem connecting to the HP Systems Insight Manager server. Make sure that: 1. Your username has been added to HP Systems Insight Manager. 2. Your username and password, if specified, are correctly spelled. 3. HP Systems Insight Manager is running. 4. You used '--' for any long options and double quotes if your username includes a domain. Example: <commandname> --user "mydomain\myusername" --pass mypassword

What To Do You can safely ignore this message. It is caused by a defect in the unconfigure script and will appear on any system where HP SIM is inactive or is not installed. If HP SIM is active, the message will not appear. Update from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Will Result In Generation Of A Core File From sfd During update from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009, the currently running sfd daemon will be stopped and restarted. This is done in order to start the sfd daemon freshly from the newly delivered executable. Because the update is still going on and the OS is still 11i v2, the starting of sfd out of the new binary delivered for 11i v3 results in generation of a core file. What To Do There are no other known impacts because of this problem. No workaround exists at this time. The sfd daemon will start without any problem once the update is complete and the system reboots. If required, the core file can be safely removed from the system. After Installation, Applications Calling getpw*() or getgr*() Will Dump Core in libc During a Certain Window After cold installation, the pwgrd(1M) daemon creates the file /var/ spool/pwgr/status with zero size and initializes it with status information. There is a small window between file creation and initialization in which file size is zero. If any application calls getpw*() or getgr*() APIs during this window, they will dump core in libc. What To Do Install PHCO_37620 to fix this problem. For availability of the patch, check the HP IT Resource Center site: http://itrc.hp.com. The other workaround is to rerun the applications/daemons that have failed by dumping core, or reboot the system.

Problem VxVM Not Supported On Systems With USB Devices At This Time Description/Action A message such as the following may be logged into dmesg during VxVM operations: "WARNING: VxVM vxio V-5-3-946 vol_disk_change_iopolicy: Public region policy specific open failed for c0t2d0 0x5000020 ret = 0xffffffff" These messages are logged when internal or external USB devices are detected on the system and when the minor number of the USB devices collide with any of the other storage disks connected to the system. This results in the corresponding disks (disks that have same minor number as that of the USB devices) not being able to be opened by VxVM. In the above WARNING message, open failed for cXtXdX indicates which disks will not function well under VxVM. What To Do No workaround exists for this problem at this time. HP and Symantec are investigating possible solutions. Although the disks might work, the behavior is unknown and not supported. VxVM is not supported on systems that have USB devices connected at this point in time. This co-existence issue is tracked by QXCR1000834043. VxVM will be supported on systems that have USB devices once the fix for QXCR1000834043 is available.

WARNING: [1296] Encountered a message of unknown priority. - [902] cron may not be running - call your system administrator warning: commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh * [367] Running "configure" script for fileset "EMS-Core.EMS-WRAPPER-COM". succeeded with 1 warning. The message cron may not be running will be logged if the cron daemon has not been running during the update. The warning commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh will occur if the default login shell is defined as anything other than POSIX shell /usr/bin/sh. This is simply a warning from cron that the POSIX shell will be used to execute commands in the crontab file. If the login shell is set to /usr/bin/sh in the /etc/passwd file, then this error will not be logged. What To Do Both these warning messages can be safely ignored. Audit Events and Audit System Calls Tabs in Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration May Not Show Any Events The Audit Events tab and Audit System Calls tab in the Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool in HP SMH may not show any Events, if there is a duplicate custom event defined in the /etc/audit/audit_site.conf file. This issue has been seen since the tool was first released in September 2007. What To Do To confirm if the table in the Events tab does not contain any rows because of the duplicate entry, execute the command /usr/sbin/audevent -l on the command prompt. If you see an error message similar to Rename event alias 'XXXXXXXX' (line YYY) in /etc/audit/audit_site.conf; the name has already been used manually edit the file to remove the duplicate definition mentioned on line number YYY.

Problem Description/Action

HFS Filesystem Block Size Must The HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 release includes the option to Be Greater Than or Equal to tune the system base page size to values larger than its 4 KB default. System Base Page Size Integrity Virtual Machines always uses this feature to tune the system base page size in the Platform Manager to 64 KB. HFS filesystems will fail to mount when the filesystem 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 filesystem with a VxFS filesystem. For each existing HFS filesystem, create a new VxFS filesystem and copy the contents of the HFS filesystem to the VxFS filesystem. HP does not recommend using HFS filesystems on systems where the base page size will be tuned to a non-default value. While HFS filesystems 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 filesystems as VxFS filesystems. 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 (http://www.docs.hp.com/en/ oshpux11iv3.html#Release%20Notes). Update to VxVM 5.0 Generates Harmless Warning in rc.log After update to VxVM 5.0, /sbin/rc1.d/S092vxvm-startup start outputs the following warning to rc.log: VxVM vxvm-startup WARNING V-5-2-0 CVM protocol version in use is older. The system is running at CVM protocol version 60 while the highest available is 70. You need to run 'vxdctl upgrade' to use the newest disk group version and the features it supports. What To Do You can safely ignore this harmless message. The message is reported after an upgrade to indicate that a higher disk layout version is available. Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 and Beyond with VxVM 5.0 Generates Spurious Error Message After installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 and beyond with VxVM 5.0, the following error message is logged on the console: VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-12826 /etc/vx/uuid/bin/osuuid list: invalid guid: What To Do You can safely ignore this error message.

The update and reboot will be successful, and there will be no functionality impact. Cold-install Fails in Integrity VM Due to a limitation on the length of the pathname to backing store Guest volumes, 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.

previous release. Refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available on the Instant Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX. If you do not use Ignite-UX 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.

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. Refer to the Software Distributor Administration Guide for details.

B Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1

This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM. What You Will Find in This Appendix Introduction (page 127) Controlling the inode Cache (page 127) Controlling the Buffer Cache (page 128) Conclusion (page 128)

Introduction
VxFS 4.1 caches objects in memory to improve performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set of tunables. You can tailor the performance of VxFS to meet a variety of usage scenarios while taking into account variations in machine configurations via the use of these tunables. The default settings of these tunables are meant to provide good performance for typical deployment configurations. However, these default values can result in the VxFS driver consuming more memory, especially when the file systems are under heavy file system load. For machines low on RAM, these tunables may need to be manually turned down depending on the expected use of the machine and the performance required of the file system. VxFS 4.1 exposes two global tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, that control the size of the inode cache and buffer cache, respectively, and thereby affect system memory consumption by the file system driver. This appendix discusses when and why the sizes of the inode and buffer caches need to be tuned down from their default values in certain configurations. The following sections describe these tunables in detail as well as the effects of changing their default values.

Controlling the inode Cache

As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help file systems perform better for file server and web server loads. The global (static) tunable vx_ninode represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS inode cache. Normally, the size of the inode cache is decided (auto-tuned) at boot time by VxFS depending on the amount of physical memory in the machine, provided that the value of vx_ninode is set to zero (default).

Introduction

127

However, systems low on RAM (having typically 1.5 GB/CPU) may not require a large inode cache if file systems are not exposed to file server and web server loads, or when file system performance is not critical. HP recommends that you set a minimum value as specified below based on the memory configuration.
Physical Memory or Kernel Available Memory 1.5 GB 2 GB 3 GB > 3 GB VxFS inode Cache (number of inodes) 16384 32768 65536 131072

NOTE: Default values are set at boot time and the values are not automatically adjusted when memory is added, removed or migrated at run time.

Controlling the Buffer Cache

VxFS 4.1 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but grow and shrink during system usage, depending on the load on the file system. The global (static) tunable vxfs_bc_bufhwm represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache. The maximum size of the metadata buffer cache is set (auto-tuned) at boot time based on system memory size, provided that the value of vxfs_bc_bufhwm is set to zero (default). Like with the tunable vx_ninode, a large metadata buffer cache can help improve file system performance, especially during metadata-intensive loads (stat, create, remove, link, lookup operations). Systems low on RAM (having typically 1.5 GB/CPU) may not need a large metadata buffer cache if the file system load is not metadata-intensive or when performance is not critical. In such circumstances, the value of vxfs_bc_bufhwm can be manually tuned down, subject to a minimum of 6 MB.

Conclusion
VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that result in improved file system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the auto-tuned values are not optimal, you can set these tunables.

Previous HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment Update Releases (OEURs) included the 4.1 version of VxFS and VxVM. Starting with the September 2008 OEUR, the following software is included: VxFS 4.1 (Base-VXFS bundle) required installed in all OEs OnlineJFS 4.1 (B3929EA bundle) recommended (default) installed in DC-OE, VSE-OE, and HA-OE VxFS 5.0 (Base-VxFS-50 bundle) optional in all OEs OnlineJFS 5.0 (B3929FB bundle) optional 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 2008 OEUR, the default install selection for all systems is VxFS 4.1 + LVM. NOTE: VxFS 4.1 Considerations 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. For more information about these tunables, see Appendix B (page 127). If VxFS 5.0 has been used to create file systems with disk layout version 7, those disks will not be readable by the VxFS 4.1 that ships with HP-UX 11i v3. If you plan to update to 11i v3 with VxFS 4.1, before updating to HP-UX 11i v3, copy data from your DLV 7 file systems and onto file systems created at layout version 5 or 6. This step is not required if you plan to update to HP-UX 11i v3 with VxFS 5.0, because the 11i v3 VxFS 5.0 can read DLV 7 file systems. NOTE: 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. All configurations, including VxVM 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 130) VxVM and VxFS Installation with Update-UX (page 130)

VxVM and VxFS Installation through Cold-Install

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

LVM with VxFS 4.1 Configuration

A default cold-install will result in an LVM system with VxFS 4.1 and OnlineJFS 4.1 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.

LVM with VxFS 5.0 Configuration

To cold-install LVM with VxFS 5.0, manually select VxFS 5.0 and/or OnlineJFS 5.0 for install in the Ignite-UX user interfaces Software tab.

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 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 4.1 with VxFS 4.1 Configuration If a cold-install to a VxVM 4.1based system is needed, please consult the following white paper (at http://docs.hp.com) for detailed instructions: Installation of VxFS and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 Operating Environment Update Release

VxVM and VxFS Installation with Update-UX

All of the configurations described in VxVM and VxFS Installation through Cold-Install (page 130) can also be achieved during OEUR updates using update-ux. Just like cold-install, the update process will default to VxFS 4.1 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

130

Installing VxFS and VxVM

NOTE: 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. NOTE: 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.)

Updates from HP-UX 1 1i v2 with OnlineJFS 4.1 to HP-UX 1 1i v3 with OnlineJFS 5.0
To update HP-UX 11i v2 systems that are already 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.

131

NOTE: 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 (page 105).

Updates to HP-UX 1 1i v3 with VxVM 4.1

To update HP-UX 11i v2 systems and remain at VxVM 4.1 in HP-UX 11i v3, please consult this white paper (at http://docs.hp.com) for detailed instructions: Installation of VxFS and VxVM 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 Operating Environment Update Release To update 11i v3 systems that are already installed with VxVM 4.1 and that you want to remain at VxVM 4.1 after the update, simply use the default upgrade selections. The September 2008 OEUR and beyond will select only VxFS 4.1 by default, so that the previously installed version of 11i v3 VxVM 4.1 will remain unchanged (and still usable) on the system.
