Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the newest release of HP-UX 11i for the Intel
Itanium architecture. This enterprise release offers a full range of
HP-UX Operating Environments, including systems management and
high-availability software products. Itanium-based systems offer
significantly better price/performance and performance scalability than
systems based on current architectures, and HP-UX 11i v2 provides the
best way to preserve your investment through the transition from
PA-RISC systems to Itanium-based systems.
Hewlett-Packard's enterprise computing business has carefully planned
the transition to Itanium-based systems, placing a premium on customer
and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains
compatibility with HP-UX 11iv1 on PA-RISC through the following:
•
•
Common “look and feel”
Application Build Environment compatibility (source code
compatibility)
•
•
Data compatibility
Binary compatibility
HP-UX 11i v2 offers these industry firsts for Itanium-based systems:
•
Support for HP-UX 11i, Linux, and Windows running in separate
hardware-based partitions on the same computer
•
•
64-way performance scaling
iCOD (Instant Capacity on Demand) and Pay-Per-Use (PPU)
HP-UX 11i v2 brings to Itanium-based systems the full power of HP
11iv1, the #1-rated UNIX operating system (OS) in the world (DH Brown
2002 UNIX OS Review; see the web site:
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2002/020530b.html
HP-UX 11i v2 on Itanium takes its place alongside HP-UX 11i v1 on
PA-RISC as an industry mainstay for mission critical enterprise
applications.

Deciding Which Method to Use
Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any additionally
needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update
to HP-UX 11i v2 on your system.
Cold-installing using Ignite-UX — This method overwrites
everything on the target disk. Use cold-install for new systems and on
existing systems when overwriting the root (/) volume will not cause loss
of applications or data. The process described in this guide cold-installs a
single system from local media. If you plan to install many systems
simultaneously, you should plan on using an Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX
is available on the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD. Additional information on
Ignite-UX and newer versions are available on this web site:
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX
command and Software Distributor (SD) tools to selectively overwrite
the operating system and application software from media or a network
source depot. An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user
data, configuration, and applications in place. Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
is limited to the supported paths listed in Table 2-1, “OE Update
Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 34.
Depending on your system’s current configuration, here are some
general guidelines to help you choose the best migration path to HP-UX
11i v2.
When to Cold-Install
We recommend using Ignite-UX to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 in the
following situations:
•
•
•
You are managing several systems with similar OS configurations.
You need fast, predictable deployment.
Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See “How to Plan Your Disk
Space Needs” on page 55.
•
Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from
user, application, and data files.

(see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on
page 34).
You can cold-install from any supported configuration (see “Supported
Servers and Workstations” on page 56).
See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for
more information about preparing your system for cold-install. Then the
When to Update
You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 when you are
updating from supported HP-UX 11i v1.6 systems or from HP-UX 11i v2
(see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on
page 34 for specific details). Other scenarios include:
•
your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files when
cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2.
•
•
Each system has a unique configuration.
Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v2 (see “How to Plan
NOTE
Update is not supported on HP Workstations.
See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for
details on how to prepare your system to update to HP-UX 11i v2. Then
Installing Network Drivers
Installing HP-UX 11i v2 will install a minimum set of default
networking drivers that apply to the system (see Table D-4, “HP-UX 11i
v2 Always-Installed Network Drivers,” on page 174).

Deciding Which Method to Use
You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to
enable other cards on your system (see “HP-UX 11i v2 Always-Installed
Network & Mass Storage Drivers” on page 174). This can easily be done
during the cold-install or update by following the instructions in
“Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2” on page 83.
Cold-Install Considerations
The following sections provide additional information to assist you in
your decision to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2.
HP Service Partition
During cold-install or recovery, Ignite-UX will change the boot disk
partition layout to create a new HP Service Partition (HPSP). This
400MB partition created at the end of the boot disk is used by Online and
Offline Diagnostics to hold tools and system data.
The order of the partitions on the boot disk will be:
1. EFI OS Boot Partition (ESP)
2. HP-UX File System (HPUX)
3. HP Service Partition (HPSP)
During back-up and recovery operations, Ignite-UX will not save or
restore any changes you make to the HPSP.
Instant Ignition
For customers ordering new systems 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 install application software. See Chapter 8, “Installing
Patches and Applications,” on page 125.

Alternate Cold-Install Methods
In addition to the procedures described in this chapter, you can
cold-install your system using the following methods:
•
Install from Software Depots
Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS,
OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using
Ignite-UX. For help with this method, see the swinstall (1M)
manpage and Software Distributor Administration Guide and
Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
•
Install from Golden Images
If you need to install the same OS/OE and applications on many
systems in your network, use an Ignite-UX server as explained in the
Ignite-UX Administration Guide. With Ignite-UX, you can create a
single install image (golden image) containing OS/OE bundles,
application bundles, and patch bundles, then install the image on
multiple systems in your environment.
IMPORTANT
Please note that if you are running an Ignite-UX server on HP-UX 11i v2
and have HP-UX Bastille enabled, then cold-installing a golden image
onto another system will require additional steps. For the latest
information, please see the following web site:

HP Service Partition Is Not Created During Update
If you are updating from a supported update path (see “Supported
Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 34), HP Service Partition will
not be created or modified. OnlineDiagwill continue to work properly.
Offline Diagnostics, however, will work with reduced functionality.
In order to have full Offline Diagnostics functionality, you must:
1. Update your system.
2. Back up your system with either make_net_recoveryor
make_tape_recovery.
3. Re-configure your boot disk partition layout to include the HP
Service Partition.
4. Restore your system with either make_net_recoveryor
for more details about make_net_recoveryand
make_tape_recovery.
5. Update the Offline Diagnostics with the latest version of the HP
Itanium-Processor Family Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. See
“About Offline Diagnostics” on page 71.

Install-time Security Considerations
Install-time Security Considerations
Beginning with HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX Bastille (B6849AA) is included as
default-installed software on the Operating Environment media and can
be installed with Ignite-UX or Update-UX.
HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/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/lockdown checklists.
NOTE
For more information about HP-UX Bastille, see the HP-UX 11i Version
2 Release Notes and Managing Systems and Workgroups.
At install- or update-time, you can choose one of the following security
configuration bundles with each bundle providing incrementally higher

Security Choice Dependencies
The Sec00Toolssecurity infrastructure bundle is default-installed on
your system. While this bundle does not implement any security changes
at install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (see
Figure 2-1) is installed. By installing Sec00Tools, you can opt to run
HP-UX Bastille at a later time to lock down your system.
Alternately, you can lock down your system using one of the following
selectable security configuration bundles at install- or update-time:
• Sec10Host
• Sec20MngDMZ
• Sec30DMZ
These bundles are dependent on the Sec00Toolsbundle.

and MTOE
just a selected language. To remove unneeded CDE language bundles
after installing the TCOE or MTOE list them using swlistand remove
unneeded bundles using swremove. See Chapter 7, “Verifying System
Install or Update,” on page 117 for example uses of swlistand
swremove.
Disk Space Allocation for File Partitions
Depending on your system’s purpose, you may need to determine how
much disk space you will need for each file partition before you

Update Disk Space Requirements
To ensure a successful update to HP-UX 11i v2, you will need to make
sure that you have at least as much disk space allocated to the file
partitions listed in Table 3-1, and each partition (most importantly,
/usr,/optand /var) has at least 10-20% free space to allow for any
growth. Additionally, make sure that you have at least 1 GB allocated for
/swap.
How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs
This section provides hints and information to help you determine your
disk needs for HP-UX 11i v2. If you need more disk space, be sure to
order the equipment and plan on installing it after backing up your
current system.
Planning Hints
•
•
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 v2 Operating Environment (OE), consider the vendor’s
size recommendations.
When planning disk space, refer to these books:

Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software
Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software
Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2, check the model and
other information on the system. You can use this information in the
Identifying model To determine the model number of your system, enter:
model
To verify that HP-UX 11i v2 is supported on your system see “Supported
Servers and Workstations” on page 56.
From EFI you can identify the model by interrupting the autoboot
process in the boot manager, entering the EFI shell, and using the
info syscommand:
Shell> info sys
The sample output should appear as follows:
SYSTEM INFORMATION
Product Name: server rx2600
Serial Number: sg20220034
UUID: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF
Identifying OS and To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter:
OE
uname -r
When a system has HP-UX 11i v2 installed, you can determine which
revision (Release ID) is installed by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
The HPUXBaseAuxbundle indicate the current installed revision level.
The revision level is indicated both in the bundle version number and the
description text.
To identify the Operating Environment currently installed on your
system, use swlist. For example:
/usr/sbin/swlist
The output of this command includes a line which identifies the installed
OE. For example, this HP-UX 11i v2 OE release generates this line:
HPUX11i-OE B.11.23 HP-UX 11i Operating Environment Component

Update Tasks
Prior to updating to HP-UX 11i v2, you should perform these tasks:
•
•
•
Recording Software Versions
Rebuilding the Kernel
Cleaning Out Your Log Files
Recording Software Versions
To identify what software still needs updating after the OS update, print
a swlistlisting of all products and bundles prior to the update. For
example, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist | lp
Then compare it with a similar swlistexecuted after the update.
Rebuilding the Kernel
Your update could 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. As root, enter:
/usr/sbin/mk_kernel
2. Fix any problems listed in the mk_kerneloutput.
3. Reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel boots.
Cleaning Out Your Log Files
To make it easier to check for problems encountered during an update,
rename the log files before starting an update:
1. cd /var/adm/sw
2. As root, rename each log file. For example:
mv swagent.log swagent_old.log

Updating Your Ignite-UX Server
Updating Your Ignite-UX Server
The HP-UX 11i v2 DVD contains the complete Ignite-UX product. When
you cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 from the media, a subset of Ignite-UX is
used to perform the installation on a single system.
If you plan to update an existing Ignite-UX server to install HP-UX 11i
v2 on more than one system in your network, then you should update
your Ignite-UX server first.
Updating your Ignite-UX server and using it to update other systems
will ensure that you have the make_net_recoveryand
make_tape_rcoverycommands to backup and recover your systems (see
the make_net_recovery (1M) and make_tape_recovery (1M) manpages for
information). You will also be assured of keeping consistent kernel
configuration with specific drivers, daemons, and kernel tunables on all
systems.

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2
Selecting Your HP-UX Console
Selecting Your HP-UX Console
HP-UX requires that you select the correct console via a firmware
selection menu. If you have ordered a machine with HP-UX
pre-installed, your console selections will be correctly chosen for you. If
you are already on the system console, then you can skip this section.
However, if you are cold-installing HP-UX, or change your system
configuration, you may need to select the correct console. Skipping this
step can result in HP-UX using an unexpected device as a console, and
can therefore appear as a system hang.
IMPORTANT
Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v2 only recognizes
one device at a time. Choosing more than one device may result in the
appearance of system hang.
Step 1. Decide what console you want to use.
Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of several
possible devices as your system console. The possibilities are:
•
•
•
System Serial Port
Management Processor (MP) Serial Port (if present)
VGA device (if present)
Step 2. Using the EFI menus, select the appropriate console device and deselect
others:
1. Choose the “Boot option maintenance menu” choice from the main
Boot Manager Menu:
EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.57] Firmware ver 1.20 [4225]

Interface Differences between Itanium-based Systems
Each Itanium-based system has a similar interface with minor
differences. You can navigate these menus with the arrow keys or “v”
and “^” keys to move around, and use the enter or space key to select and
deselect devices. Selected devices have an asterisk (“*”) next to them.
After making your changes to this menu, choose Save Settings to
NVRAMand then Exit.
VGA Consoles
Any device in the output device menu that has a Pcisection in its path,
but does not have a Uartsection will be a VGA device. If you require a
VGA console, choose this device, and unmark all others. In the example
above, a VGA device is selected as the console.
Other Console
Types
Any device in the output device menu that has a Uartsection, but no Pci
section is one of the system serial ports; devices containing both a Uart
and Pcisection are MP serial ports. Notice that there are actually four
almost identical system serial ports in the example above. The first four
entries are identical except for their VenMsgsection. This means that
each entry is actually the same device, with different protocols for
accessing the device. If the first entry is chosen, an Ansi capable terminal
device should be used to talk to the serial port. If the second entry is
chosen, a Vt100 capable terminal device should be used, and so on.
If you choose either a system or MP serial port, HP recommends you
choose a Vt100+ capable terminal device.
Selecting a Console on the HP Integrity rx2600,
rx5670, and zx6000 Systems
On the HP Integrity rx2600, HP Integrity rx5670, and zx6000 systems,
an entry in the output device menu that has a Uartsection and a Pci
section will be the serial port on a Management Processor (MP). To use
the MP as your console device, select one of the MP serial device entries,
and deselect everything else.
Step 1. Choose Select Active Console Input Devices.

Additional Notes on Console Selection
HP-UX makes decisions based upon the EFI Boot Maintenance Manager
menu's Select Active Consolesections to determine where to send its
output. If the incorrect console devices are chosen, HP-UX may either
fail to boot, or will boot with output directed to the wrong location.
Therefore, any time new potential console devices are added to a system,
or anytime NVRAM on a system is cleared, console selections should be
reviewed to ensure that they are correct.
More information on the EFI Paths used for console selection can be
found in Intel's Extensible Firmware Interface documents available from
their web site.

About Online Diagnostics
About Online Diagnostics
HP-UX 11i v2 automatically installs diagnostics on all systems to
provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the
OnlineDiagbundle, give you a complete solution to verify, troubleshoot,
and monitor Itanium-based system hardware, including CPUs, memory,
interface cards, mass storage and other devices.
CAUTION
Uninstalling the OnlineDiag bundle prevents products with dependencies
on the diagnostics from functioning correctly.
Not installing OnlineDiagremoves protections against hardware
failures that diagnostics provide. Without the tools, it is much harder to
troubleshoot and fix problems if a hardware failure occurs.
To ensure the reliability of your computer system, we highly recommend
installing the OnlineDiagbundle with HP-UX 11i v2 (it will be installed
by default with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment).
The tools in OnlineDiag:
•
Protect you against some hardware failures (for example, some
memory problems)
•
•
Notify you of hardware events that may indicate impending failure
Maintain logs that can give you critical help in determining the
cause of failures
•
Let you troubleshoot system problems with the system online
For most computer systems, no special configuration of the diagnostics is
necessary.

Backing Up Your System
Backing Up Your System
In addition to your normal, periodic system backup procedures, you
should create a network backup of your root volume group (see
Chapter 5, “Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 79). Do this first
before performing a cold-install, and again after the cold-install. If a
problem occurs, it’s a very simple procedure to restore the system to its
original state.
This section offers several alternatives for performing system backups:
fbackup and frecover, and make_net_recovery and
make_tape_recovery.
Using fbackup and Many administrators use the basic fbackupcommand to back up the
frecover
entire system to tape. You do not need to unmount any imported file
systems; fbackupdoes not cross NFS boundaries unless specified.
Using the normal tape location to do a full backup, insert a new tape and
enter:
fbackup -f/dev/rmt/0m -i -v
Later, if you wish to return the system to its previous state, use the
frecovercommand. See the fbackup (1M) manpage for examples.
Ignite-UX recovery For recovering a system, a better alternative to using fbackupand
commands
frecoveris to use the make_net_recoveryor make_tape_recovery
commands available with Ignite-UX, which offer more flexibility than
systems.
The Ignite-UX server software for HP-UX 11i v2 is provided on the
HP-UX 11i v2 DVD, and can be cold-installed or updated along with
HP-UX 11i v2 to create or update a new server. See “Updating Your
Ignite-UX Server” on page 65 for details.
Using make_net_
recovery
The Ignite-UX server has the make_net_recoverycommand to create a
system recovery archive on another system on the network. The archive
created by make_net_recoveryis specific to the system it was created
for and its identity includes hostname, IP_address, networking
information, and so on. In the event of a root disk failure, you use the
Ignite-UX server to restore the system by installing the recovery archive.

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2
Backing Up Your System
The contents of the system recovery archive always includes all files and
directories which are essential to bringing up a functional system. This
“essential” list is pre-defined by make_net_recovery. You can run
make_net_recoveryin its interactive mode to review the directories and
files which make up the “essential list,” and also add or remove other
data from the archive on a disk/volume group, file, or directory basis.
For more information on using make_net_recovery, see the
make_net_recovery (1M) manpage or the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide.
Using make_tape_ The Ignite-UX server’s make_tape_recoverycommand creates a
recovery
bootable recovery tape for an LVM or whole disk file system while it is up
and running. When a system has a logical volume layout, the recovery
tape will only include data from the root volume group, plus data from
any non-root volume group containing the /usr directory.
You can run make_tape_recoveryeither on the Ignite-UX server or
locally on the system from which you are trying to make a recovery tape.
To create the bootable recovery tape, enter:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av
where: vis for verbose mode and A specifies the entire root disk or
volume group. Also, more than one volume group can be specified with
the -xoption.
If a tape drive other than the default (/dev/rmt/0m) will be used, 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 -d /dev/rmt/3mn
To recover a failed system disk or volume group after a recovery tape has
been made, simply load the recovery tape, boot the system, interrupting
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 which is not in the root volume group must be backed up and
recovered using normal backup utilities.

Saving Configuration Files
Saving Configuration Files
If you are planning to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 on a system that already
has HP-UX installed, be sure to save the files that you will want to
re-install.
These include a number of configuration files in /etc, the contents of
/usr/local, any local home directories (that is, those you do not import
from another system), and any configuration files located in the
/etc/optdirectories for installed software.
If multiple users are preparing for the cold-install, you might consider
creating a directory (such as /backup) on another system. Do not create
this directory on your root disk. Mount it with sam. Then create a
subdirectory for each system or user (for example, /backup/your_sys).
As root, copy the files. For example:
Step 1. Copy all config files from /etcon a system named system1to system
system2. On system2, enter:
mkdir /backup/system1/etc
rcp -p your_name@system1:/etc/* /backup/system1/etc/.
Step 2. Copy your local home directory to the backup system:
mkdir /backup/system1/home
rcp -pr your_name@system1:/home/ /backup/system1/home/

Locating Source Media and Codewords
Locating Source Media and Codewords
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and
you have decided how to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2, you need
to locate the source media needed for the migration:
•
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 v2
media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v2 DVD — Boot and install a new system.
— HP-UX Application DVDs — Install applications not installed
with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application.
Some applications installed with an HP-UX 11i v2 OE may be
older versions than those available on the HP-UX Applications
DVDs supplied in the media kit. Products available on
Application DVDs are listed in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on
each DVD.
•
If you plan to cold-install on many systems in your enterprise
— We recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a “golden
image” from which to cold-install. This install image can contain the
OS and OE, other applications, and any needed patches. Once the
archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another
system, cold-install on each client system is a single-pass operation;
you will only need to reboot each client once.

Reviewing the Cold-Install Process
Reviewing the Cold-Install Process
This section describes cold-installing from the HP-UX 11i v2 DVDs,
including the operating system, a selected operating environment (OE)
bundle, network drivers, CDE language bundle, and diagnostics.
The overall process is shown in Figure 5-1 on page 82, along with
alternate methods of cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2:
Alternate install
methods
•
•
Installing from software depots — Use Software Distributor
commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software
bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX. For help with
this method, see the swinstall (1M) manpage, Software Distributor
Administration Guide, and Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
Installing from golden images — If you need to install the same
OS/OE and applications on many systems in your network, use an
Ignite-UX server as explained in the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide. With Ignite-UX, you can create a single install image (golden
image) containing OS/OE bundles, application bundles, and patch
bundles, then install the image on multiple systems in your
environment.
•
For customers ordering new systems with the “Instant Ignition”
option (also known as “factory ignited”), the cold-installation process
described here has already been performed. Skip this chapter and
proceed to Chapter 7, “Verifying System Install or Update,” on
page 117.
Mission Critical

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2
To cold-install the operating system, use the following steps. Please note
that cold-installing overwrites everything on the target disk. You should
review the Appendix B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on
page 145 to see if any installation issues apply to your system.
Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are
turned ON and operational.
Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD into the drive.
Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot
automatically from the DVD.
•
•
If the system boots automatically, go to step 4.
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. The list of devices displays automatically, and the install process
selects the device for you.
c. If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for
the CDROM 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 CDROM device, use the mapcommand to list all
device names from the EFI shell prompt.
NOTE
Your DVD device may not always be fs1. Make sure you verify the
ID appropriate with your DVD device.
Step 4. Once the kernel has booted, it scans the system for I/O devices.

NOTE
If you select VxVM, the root disk can not be moved to another SCSI bus
or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the device. If
it is moved, you may not be able to boot safely from it. This is similar to
the limitation present in LVM.
Step 6. Specify number of disks in the root group. In this step you will specify
how many disks you want placed into the root disk volume group and
whether or not you would like the disks to be striped. (The HP-UX Install
Wizard describes these features in depth.)
You must enter Yes or No to “Use Striping”.
Step 7. Select language(s). Browse the available languages, marking the desired
software which you would like loaded onto your system. Browse the list,
marking your selections, then continue to the next step.

a. Select SecurityChoices. The four security configuration bundles
appear. By default, Sec00Toolsis selected.
b. Select Sec30DMZfrom the list.
c. Select OK.
Step 9. Pre-Install disk information, Step 1. There are two steps involved in the
pre-install checks. The first is to identify which disks 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. Otherwise, continue on to the next step.
Step 10. Pre-Install check information, Step 2. The second step in the pre-install
check is to review any errors, warnings, or notes. Warnings are simply
informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved
before the installation can continue.
Step 11. System summary. At this point you have successfully defined your
system. Use the Show Summary button to view a summary of how your
system will be configured. If you see any problems, or wish to change any
of your selections, feel free to back up to the appropriate step, and make
the needed changes. Otherwise, select Finish (at the bottom of the tabs).
You have the chance to Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you can start
again.
Step 12. Next, the installation will begin with filesets being copied from the
media to the hard disk. The system will automatically reboot during the
installation process.
Step 13. Depending on how you set up your parameters, the system will either set
basic network configurations automatically, or will call the set_parms
command after it has rebooted to allow you to set the root password, date
and time, time zone, IP address, and additional network parameters.
After set_parmsis executed, then the “Welcome to HP-UX” screen will
be displayed.
Step 14. In order to use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language
mapping which will be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal
Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select
number 26.

Retrieving Information after Cold-installing
Retrieving Information after Cold-installing
After completing the cold-install, you can retrieve the information you
had previously saved onto another system. Here are some tips:
Creating a new
root home
directory
Consider creating a root home directory that is not /. 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. This is especially important if you
are using LVM and /homeis a separate volume.
Step 1. From the CDE login screen, select Options -> Command Line Login and
login as root.
Step 2. Except on trusted systems, edit /etc/passwdto change the home
directory from root to /homerootand save it.
Step 3. Create the /homerootdirectory:
mkdir /homeroot
Step 4. Move root’s personal files (files beginning with .) to /homeroot:
mv /.[a-zA-Z]* /homeroot
Step 5. Exit and log in again as root.
Recovering 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.
Restoring /home
If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows:
•
For instance, if you copied it to, /backup/system1/home, enter these
commands:
cd /backup/system1/home
find -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home
•
If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter:
frecover -x -i /system1/home -v

Retrieving Information after Cold-installing
Restoring other
files
Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories,
such as /usr, /local and /opt. For help in importing entire volume
groups, see either the Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for
HP-UX System Administrators or the Managing Superdome Complexes.
The commands above will not write over newer files, so your new
operating system and any files you update are well protected.

Updating Tips
Updating Tips
During an update process, here are some tips and recommendations:
Monitoring the Update Process
If you wish to view the update process in detail, open another terminal
window (drag it aside so you can also watch for any messages on the
window running update-ux) and use the tailcommand to view
swinstallmessages being logged:
tail -f /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
You may also wish to log all messages directed to the console by using
the scriptcommand. For example, to log all messages into a file named:
/tmp/updateOS, enter:
script -a /tmp/updateOS
To halt the scriptlog process, enter: exit
Running Other Commands
You can run other commands during an update, such as viewing files and
an update; doing so may cause the commands to function improperly.
In Case of Trouble
If you encounter a problem during the update process, review
Appendix B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 145 for
possible solutions.
The update-uxcommand returns an error value when it is not
successful:
1 - Error during execution; update aborted.
2 - Update aborted via user action (-n or keyboard press)
Messages are recorded in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log,
/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log, and /var/adm/sw/update-ux.log.
When updating Ignite-UX, also look at its log in /var/adm/sw/.

Step 3. Insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD and wait for the drive’s busy light to stop
blinking.
Step 4. Find the DVD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -f -C disk | more
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0is a typical device name.
Step 5. Create the directory under root(/):
mkdir /dvdrom
Step 6. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
Step 7. Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the target depot, for example
/update/update-depot:
swcopy -s /dvdrom \* @ /update/update-depot
Step 8. Unmount the DVD from its directory
umount /dvdrom
The network depot is now ready to update your system to HP-UX 11i v2.

update-ux Syntax
update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-n|-y] [-i]
[-x option=value] [sw_spec]
where:
-s source_location
Specifies the source containing the new software depot.
Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD
containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot
combination. All paths used in the source_location
must be absolute paths. If source_locationis a
remote system/depot combination, the remote system
should be specified first, followed by the absolute path
to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no
spaces; for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw
-?
Prints the usage statement.
-n|-y
update-uxissues a message and waits for your
response to continue whenever something unexpected
is attempted. Specify -nat first (or omit this option) to
have update-ux“not continue” when an error is issued.
When you have reviewed/resolved all errors, use -y
instead of -nto have update-uxignore all messages
which would otherwise cause update-uxto wait for a
user response.
-i
Specifies the swinstallinteractive user interface to
select software products from a depot or bundle during
the update. For more information, see the swinstall
(1M) manpage.
-xoption=value
Specifies swinstalloptions to be applied during the
update. For a typical update, no swinstalloptions are
required. swinstall -p(preview) is not supported. For
information on swinstalloptions, see the swinstall
(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor
Administration Guide.
sw_spec
Specifies one or more optional software bundles to be
updated, such as an operating environment (OE)
bundle name, a network-driver bundle or Ignite-UX. If

We Recommend
this Update:
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed)
To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include an HP-UX 11i v2 operating
environment, you need to specify the OE bundle name in the update-ux
command. The OE bundles names are:
HPUX11i-OE
HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE
HPUX11i-OE-EntHP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE
HPUX11i-MTOE HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical OE
HPUX11i-TCOE HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE
For example, to update to HP-UX 11i v2 and install HP-UX 11i v2
Foundation OE, insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD in the local drive mounted
at /dvdrom. As root, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE
Enterprise OE (from a supported update path), you would enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent

environment to provide you with an integrated and tested set of
supporting software and applications.
If you do not specify an OE bundle update-uxwill only install the OS,
networking, diagnostic and CDE bundles listed on page 161. Any
additional software bundles associated with an OE are not installed.
For example, to update the HP-UX 11i v2 OS, insert the HP-UX 11i v2
DVD in the local mounted drive and enter the following command:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom
Adding or Upgrading an OE
To install an OE on an HP-UX 11i v2 system not containing an OE, or to
upgrade HP-UX 11i v2 to higher-level OE (for example, HP-UX 11i v2
Foundation OE to HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE) insert the HP-UX 11i v2
DVD and specify the new OE using the update-uxcommand. For
example, to add the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent
When the update is complete, the original OE bundle wrapper (if one
existed) will be removed and replaced with the new bundle wrapper.
IMPORTANT
Upgrading to a higher level OE is only supported if you are updating
from a lower level HP-UX 11i v2 operating environment. In other words
you cannot update, for example, from HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to
HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE
You can not downgrade from a higher level OE to a lower level OE
Updating From a Network Depot
To update from an network depot on a remote system named netdepot,
include the path to the depot in the update-uxcommand. The following
example does an update to the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE:
Chapter 6

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s netdepot:/update/update_depot \
HPUX11i-OE-Ent
Updating Using Interactive Software Selection
To interactively select software for an update, use the -ioption. For
example:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -i
update-uxdisplays swinstall’s interactive user interface with software
already selected to match the default update. Now you can change
software selections. For example, you can select a non-default network
driver or a web browser before performing the update. Since update-ux
selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by default, the
interactive user interface provides a way to deselect the default software.
CAUTION
Do not combine -iand -xoptions in the same update-uxcommand.
IMPORTANT
swinstall’s interactive user interface does not provide for selecting
mutually exclusive selectable software bundles. As a result, if you select
more than one HP-UX Bastille security configuration bundle from the
SecurityChoices section of the Select Additional Software screen (for
example, Sec20MngDMZand Sec30DMZ), HP-UX Bastille will apply the
highest security configuration selected.
For help using swinstallin interactive mode, see the swinstall (1M)
Updating Selectable Software
To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include additional selectable software
such as one of the HP-UX Bastille Security Configuration bundles, like
Sec30DMZ(see “Install-time Security Considerations” on page 43):
Step 1. Assuming you are updating from the DVD media, as root, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -x /dvdrom HPUX11-OE Sec30DMZ
106
Chapter 6
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
In the above command, update-uxinstalls the HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation
Operating Environment bundles listed on Appendix D, “Software
Distribution Media,” on page 161, plus the Sec30DMZsecurity
configuration bundle (including HP-UX Bastille, Perl, HP-UX IPFilter -
included in Sec00Tools).
If you only want to update your system with a selectable software
bundle, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom Sec30DMZ
NOTE
If you select more than one HP-UX Bastille security configuration
bundle, for example Sec20MngDMZand Sec30DMZ, the highest level of
security will be applied to your system.
IMPORTANT
HP-UX Bastille’s security model is such that it provides incrementally
higher security (metaphorically, like a ratchet). As a result, you can
update from a lower security level to a higher security level (example:
Sec10Hostto Sec20MngDMZ.
If you intend to downgrade from a higher security level to a lower
security level, HP recommends that you run bastille -rbefore you
update your system to ensure that only the security settings you wanted
in the lower security level are applied. Otherwise, you may encounter
some security configurations left over from the previous security settings
applied by HP-UX Bastille.
Step 2. Complete any configuration for HP software explained in the HP-UX 11i
v2 Release Notes available on the Instant Information DVD and on
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2. In this example, to complete the
HP-UX Bastille installation, see the security chapter in the Managing
Systems and Workgroups manual.

Creating an HP Service Partition
Update-UX does not create or modify the HP Service Partition required
by some HP Offline Diagnostics tools. If you are updating from a system
that does not have an HP Service Partition, such as system newly
updated from HP-UX 11i v1.6, you will need to create the HP Service
Partition now.
To Determine If the HP Service Partition Exists

Partition were already configured, you should see a third partition listed
as HPSP.
If you already have an HP Service Partition (your output looks similar to
Figure 6-3), you may skip the rest of this section and continue with, “The
Next Step” on page 115.
Before You Begin You will need to ensure that you have a minimum of 1 GB of disk space
that you can allocate for use by the EFI Boot Disk Partition and the new
HP Service Partition prior to beginning this procedure.
Make sure that you are familiar with the Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery
(1M) or make_net_recovery (4) commands before you start. You can also
find more information about Ignite-UX, including the latest
documentation, on the web:
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX
The following procedure will take you through creating and configuring a
new HP Service Partition.
Creating an HP Service Partition
Step 1. Determine which recovery method to use:
• make_tape_recoverygenerally provides faster recovery/restore
performance than make_net_recovery. However HP Integrity
servers do not support direct boot from tape devices. Consequently,
you will need to perform a “two-step media” recovery process. This
means that you will need a tape device with enough capacity to hold
the system archive, the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD media along with the
recovery tape to create the HP Service Partition and restore your
system.
• make_net_recoveryrecovery/restore performance is determined by
the speed of your network. In most cases, this method is slower than
make_tape_recovery. However, you can boot directly to the
Ignite-UX server containing your system archive.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Creating an HP Service Partition
IMPORTANT
The recovery process may fail if the boot disk file system is very full
while attempting to create a full archive with make_tape_recoveryor
make_net_recovery, causing either the system or user data restore to
run out of space.
HP strongly recommends that you back up your user data using other
supported backup software for HP-UX 11i v2, and use
make_tape_recoveryor make_net_recoveryto create an archive of
your system data.
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for more details on the
make_net_recoveryand make_tape_recoverycommands.
Step 2. Make a system archive using either the make_net_recoveryor
make_tape_recoverycommand:
•
To save a system archive to an Ignite-UX server:
make_net_recovery -s iuxServer -x inc_entire=vg00
To save a system archive to tape:
•
make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00
Step 3. Reboot your system. If you created a system archive using the
make_tape_recoverycommand, insert your HP-UX 11i v2 DVD into the
DVD drive, before resetting your system.
Step 4. Depending on which method you used to create your system archive,
choose the appropriate boot method:
• make_net_recoverymethod: Select the appropriate network EFI
boot option
• make_tape_recoverymethod: Select the appropriate DVD boot
option
NOTE
See the “System Recovery” chapter of the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide for more details and information about the appropriate boot
methods.

Verifying System Install or Update
Verifying the HP-UX Install or Update
Verifying the HP-UX Install or Update
To verify that HP-UX 11i v2 was installed or updated successfully, use
the Software Distributor commands swlistand swverify.
Start Task
1. Run swlistto determine all software installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist
You can control the detail level of the information displayed with the
-loption. To see all bundles installed, use this command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
To see all products installed or all filesets installed, use these
commands:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset
For a cold-install, compare your list with the list of software products
in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTSfiles on the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating
System DVD and on the Applications DVD.
2. Run swverifyto verify that each bundle is intact. Several examples
follow:
•
To verify that an installed English 64-bit OS is intact, enter the
command:
/usr/sbin/swverify HPUXBaseOS
•
To verify all HP software on your system, enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swverify \*
The Selection process determines all dependencies of all software.
After the list, the following message displays:
* Selection succeeded.
Then, the Analysis process verifies that each required file is loaded
(existence and revision), that all required dependencies are met, and
then it runs any available verification scripts for the product. After
the analysis, the following message displays:
* Analysis succeeded.

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
Identify the bundle(s) containing the OE extension.
Then enter this command to verify it:
/usr/sbin/swverify bundle-name
If you get an error like the following, then the software identified is
incompatible with your system and needs to be replaced with a newer
version:
system's architecture or operating system.
Start Task
To update the HP-UX software, do the following:
1. Mount the HP-UX Applications DVD that contains the software.
2. Go to Chapter 8, “Installing Patches and Applications,” on page 125
to install or update the new version using the swinstallcommand.
3. Use the application; this is the best way to verify the application’s
operation.
Open each application, view a working document or project, and
perform typical production operations such as editing a file and
printing a report. If the application does not work as expected, see
the application’s release notes and documentation to determine the
problem.

Verifying System Install or Update
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed
Patches
The swinstallutility permits the installation of multiple patch bundles
with a deferred configuration. Some of these patch bundles may contain
superseded patches that do not get configured.
After executing swverify \*on your system, these patches show an
“installed” software state in the swagent.logfile. This “installed”
software state is not treated as a warning or error by swverify.
The “installed” patches may present a problem when the current
“applied” patch is removed using swremove. The swremovecommand
does not detect or configure a superseded patch with an “installed”
software state.
Start Task
Follow these steps to check the state of patches currently applied to your
system:
1. List the “SD software state” and “patch state” of both superseded
patches and active (or applied) patches on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist -a state -a patch_state patch_number
To list all patches, use the command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -a state -a patch_state PH*
For example, the above swlistoptions may show some differences
between an older (superseded) patch and the current (applied) patch
on your system.
NOTE
Superseded patches left in an “installed” SD state do not cause any
problems, but they require an extra swconfigstep when they
become the current “applied” patch.
2. HP recommends that you configure a current “applied” patch in the
“installed” SD state with the following command:
/usr/sbin/swconfig patch_number

Verifying System Install or Update
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches
WARNING
This problem only exists when an active patch is removed
and rolled back to a superseded patch left in an “installed”
state. Executing swconfigon a patch in the “superseded”
patch state is dangerous; do not do it.
3. Use the following options to list active products, patches, and states:
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state
The previous swlistoptions will display all active (non-superseded)
filesets with their “SD software state” and “patch state” attributes.
You can change swlistto display superseded patches by adding the
following line to the /var/adm/sw/defaults file:
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true
or you can use the following command to display superseded patches:
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state -x \
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true

Installing Patches and Applications
Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications
Tips for Installing or Updating HP
Applications
In the previous chapters of this guide, you installed HP-UX 11i v2,
installed additional patches if necessary, and verified the system. Now
you should install and/or update other needed HP, non-OS applications.
Here are some tips:
•
To determine which products and versions are on your system use
the swlistcommand:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
•
HP-UX Applications DVDs have an ASCII file on each DVD called
the Applications DVD. This ASCII file is viewable with vi,emacs, or
any other text editor.
•
•
To verify that all installed products are compatible with the new OS,
run swverifyas explained in “Verifying the HP-UX Install or
Update” on page 118.
Use swinstallto install new software or update each application
not included in the HP-UX 11i v2 OS and OE you just installed. The
latest versions of many HP-UX software products are provided on the
HP-UX Applications DVD. To find the contents of each DVD, mount
any HP-UX Applications DVD and view the TABLE_OF_CONTENTSfile.
For swinstallinstructions, see the next section.
•
•
Installation of application patches and applications may occur in the
same swinstallsession to save on the number of required reboots.
For HP applications, there exists documentation that shows you how
to install and use an application. The documents may include release
notes, readme files, DVD and CD booklets, white papers, and guides.

Installing Patches and Applications
Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications
Installing Optional Software Products
The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i v2 contains
optional development tools and system management software.
HP-UX 11i v2 must be booted in order to install optional software
products. The following is the procedure for installing products from the
Applications DVD.
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the
DVD as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i v2 can access.
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC diskcommand to list disk devices, including
the DVD devices.
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access
point for the DVD. Often a /cdromdirectory is used. If this directory
does not exist, create it using the mkdir /cdromcommand.
c. Use the mountcommand to mount the DVD.
Using the mountcommand, specify the DVD device name and mount
point. For example, the following command mounts the
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0device as the /cdromdirectory.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. Use swinstallto install software from the Application DVD.
The following example command runs swinstallto install software
from the source mounted at /cdrom.
swinstall -i -s /cdrom
See the swinstall (1M) manpage for details.
Step 4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.

Installing Patches and Applications
Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications
The swinstallprogram presents an interface for selecting and
installing software from the DVD.
Step 5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM
drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server
reboots.
Use the umountcommand to unmount the DVD. For example,
umount /cdromwill unmount the /cdromfile system. See the umount
(1M) manpage for details.
Using Ignite-UX
You can use the Ignite-UX utility to install HP-UX applications on
systems using a local mount directory, or over a network using an
Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX is an HP-UX product that facilitates
installing and configuring HP-UX systems.
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for detailed instructions on how
to install HP-UX applications. It is on the Instant Information DVD and
on the web:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11v2
Ignite-UX can address your need to perform system installations and
deployment, often on a large scale. With Ignite-UX, you can do the
following:
•
•
Create and reuse standard system configurations.
Archive a standard system configuration and use that archive to
replicate systems in far less time than with other methods.
•
•
Create customized processes to allow interactive and unattended
installs.
Recover OS and applications more easily after crashes and hardware
failures.
For example, you can install the Ignite-UX utilities to install HP-UX and
applications on other systems:
1. Mount the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD containing Ignite-UX (mount point is
assumed here to be /cdrom) and enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom B5725AA

Known Problems and Troubleshooting
Uninstalling HP-UX 11i v2
Uninstalling HP-UX 11i v2
If you cannot resolve problems after installing HP-UX 11i v2, then you
may want to un-install it. The process depends upon the install process
you followed:
•
Assuming that you have made a make_net_recoverytape using
Ignite-UX, boot the system from that media to return the OS and any
archived applications to the previous release. This is covered in
Chapter 11 of the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, available on the
Instant Information DVD and on the web:
http://docs.hp.com
If you do not use Ignite-UX or do not have a current
make_net_recoverytape, read on....
•
•
If your applications and data are on a separate disk from the OS,
cold-install the previous OS. This ensures a clean OS installation,
removing all previous upgrade and patch information.
If applications and/or data 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 Chapter 11 of
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. See the Software Distributor
Administration Guide for details.

Character-code Handling with Perl
Although Perl 5.6.1 does not directly support wide characters, its
experimental support of Unicode may be a suitable solution. JPerl
5.005_003 is another solution to handle Japanese multi-byte characters
albeit by an older version of Perl.
What to Do
Get the patch jperl5.005_03and apply it to Perl. This patch is open
source and available at a number of non-HP FTP sites.
Follow these steps:
Step 1. Get the Perl 5.005_03 source files from http://devresource.hp.com
Step 2. Download patch jperl5.005_03from an open-source Perl site.
Step 3. Apply the patch to the source code, and build it.
NOTE
Once patched with jperl5.005_003, you cannot use Perl as Mod_perl
under the HP Apache-based Web server.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2
Introduction
Introduction
VxFS 3.5 resorts to caching objects in memory as a way 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 stressed (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 3.5 exposes two global tunables, vx_ninodeand vx_bc_bufhwm,
that control the size of the inode 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 Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2
Controlling the inode Cache
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/web server loads. The global (static)
tunable vx_ninoderepresents 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_ninodeis set to zero (default).
However, systems low on RAM (typically less than or equal to 1GB/CPU)
may not require a large inode cache if file systems are not exposed to
file/web server loads, or file system performance is not critical. It is
recommended that the value of vx_ninodebe set to more than that of
nfile, an HP-UX tunable that represents the maximum number of file
descriptors.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2
Controlling the Buffer Cache
Controlling the Buffer Cache
VxFS 3.5 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 vx_bc_bufhwmrepresents the
maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.
The maximum size of the metadata buffer cache is decided (auto-tuned)
at boot time based on system memory size, provided that the value of
vx_bc_bufhwmis set to zero (default).
As 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).
However, systems low on RAM (having typically 1GB/CPU or less) may
not need a large metadata buffer cache if the file system load is not
metadata-intensive or performance is not critical. In such circumstances,
the value of vx_bc_bufhwmcan be manually tuned down, subject to a
minimum of 6144 (6MB).

Conclusion
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 are provided with the ability to
set these tunables.
