STORAGE FOUNDATION 5.0 SOLARIS - LATE BREAKING NEWS 2007.10.23 kw ~~~~ Mostly document errata ... SF Basic SF Upgrades ~~~~ http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/281987.htm ~~~~ Document ID: 281987 http://support.veritas.com/docs/281987 Late Breaking News (LBN) - Latest additions to the Release Notes for Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 and 5.0 Maintenance Pack 1 for Solaris (SPARC) Details: All documentation for Veritas Storage Foundation (tm) and High Availability Solutions 5.0 products on Solaris (SPARC) are cross referenced in the Related Documents section below. Addition to all Release Notes: Daylight Saving Time Issues For information about Daylight Saving Time issues, refer to this technote: http://support.veritas.com/docs/286461 Additions to the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions by Symantec Hardware TechNote 5.0RP1 Errata in the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions by Symantec Hardware TechNote 5.0RP1 In the EMC arrays section, EMC Symmetrix DMX and 8000 series arrays on page 9, the setting for "D-Bit" is missing under the column "Setting 4". For all platforms, "The disable queue reset on unit attention mode (D-Bit)" must be set for all channels that participate in the DMP. Additions to the Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) 5.0 Release Notes: VCS requires that all nodes in the cluster use the same processor architecture and run the same operating system. For example, in a cluster with nodes running Solaris, all nodes must run Solaris SPARC or Solaris x64. All nodes in the cluster must run the same VCS version. Each node the cluster may run a different version of the operating system, as long as the operating system is supported by the VCS version in the cluster. See the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for supported operating systems. See the Hardware Compatibility List for Veritas Storage Foundation (tm) and High Availability Solutions for supported hardware. Additions to the Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC (SFRAC) 5.0 Release Notes: The System Requirements section of the SFRAC Installation and Configuration Guide on page 72 in Table 2-1 states: "Two to eight systems with two or more CPUs at 2GHz or higher. "This is an error. It should read as "Two to eight systems with two or more CPUs at 1GHz or higher." In addition, in Table 2-1, the information about CPU speed and swap space size is just a recommendation. Other things to consider before choosing the system configuration are the size of the database, Oracle recommendations, the amount of activity, etc. Etrack incident: 319114 Previously, Cluster Ready Service (CRS) sometimes did not work on a Japanese OS. This issue has been fixed. In the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC 5.0 Release Notes, a known issue is included that states that CRS may not work on a Japanese OS. This statement is incorrect. CRS works on a Japanese OS starting with 4.1 MP1 and later releases which includes 5.0. The Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC 5.0 Installation and Configuration Guide on page 114, under the section "Creating the coordinator disk group (vxfencoorddg)", contains a procedure that is incorrect. On page 114, it currently displays this incorrect procedure: To create the coordinator disk group 1 On one node, create the disk group by specifying the device name of one of the disks; the option coordinator=on sets the coordinator attribute: # vxdg -o coordinator=on init vxfencoorddg c1t1d0 2 Add the other two disks to the disk group: # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c2t1d0 # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c3t1d0 Refer to the Veritas Volume Manager documentation for details on creating disk groups. Replace this procedure with the one shown below: To create the coordinator disk group 1. On one node, create the disk group by specifying the device name of one of the disks: # vxdg init vxfencoorddg c1t1d0 2. Add the other two disks to the disk group: # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c2t1d0 # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c3t1d0 Refer to the Veritas Volume Manager documentation for details on creating disk groups. 3. Set the option coordinator=on to set the coordinator attribute: # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg set coordinator=on Additions to Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 Release Notes: Documentation errata relating to dynamic multipathing (DMP) The "Performance monitoring and tuning" chapter of the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide (pages 482-486) is not clear about the different methods that may be used to change the values of the available DMP tunables. The following DMP tunables can be changed online by using the vxdmpadm settune command: dmp_cache_open dmp_daemon_count dmp_delayq_interval dmp_failed_io_threshold dmp_fast_recovery dmp_health_time dmp_log_level dmp_path_age dmp_pathswitch_blks_shift dmp_probe_idle_lun dmp_queue_depth dmp_retry_count dmp_retry_timeout dmp_scsi_timeout dmp_stat_interval The following DMP tunables can be changed by editing the /kernel/drv/vxdmp.conf file and rebooting the system: dmp_failed_io_threshold dmp_pathswitch_blks_shift dmp_restore_cycles dmp_retry_count The following DMP tunables can be changed online by using the vxdmpadm start restore command: dmp_restore_cycles dmp_restore_interval dmp_restore_policy In the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide and the vxdmpadm(1M) manual page, the dmp_restore_cycles, dmp_restore_interval and dmp_restore_policy tunables are incorrectly named as dmp_restore_daemon_cycles, dmp_restore_daemon_interval and dmp_restore_daemon_policy. The dmp_restore_cycles, dmp_restore_interval and dmp_restore_policy tunables correspond to the period, interval, and policy attributes of the vxdmpadm start restore command. The correct syntax for the vxdmpadm start restore command is: vxdmpadm start restore [interval=] policy=check_all vxdmpadm start restore [interval=] policy=check_alternate vxdmpadm start restore [interval=] policy=check_disabled vxdmpadm start restore interval= policy=check_periodic [period=] That is, the interval attribute, if specified, must precede the policy attribute, and the policy attribute must precede the period attribute. DMP tunable changes not shown by prtconf Some DMP tunables can be changed either by editing the /kernel/drv/vxdmp.conf file and rebooting the system, or by using the vxdmpadm settune command. If the vxdmpadm settune command is used, the change to the tunable is visible only in the output from the vxdmpadm gettune command, and the output from the prtconf -Pv command shows the old value. (Etrack incident 928000) Symantec License Inventory Manager (SLIM) Server 4.0 Authentication credentials are lost when installing Veritas Storage Foundation If you install Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 on a machine that has SLIM Server 4.0 installed, the SLIM server authentication credentials are lost. This prevents users from logging in to the SLIM server. Manually restoring the authentication credentials results in the following error when users attempt to log into the SLIM server: User cannot be authenticated Workaround: Use the following procedure to install Veritas Storage Foundation if SLIM Server 4.0 is installed: 1. Back up the authentication data: # vssat showbackuplist 2. Install Veritas Storage Foundation (refer to the Veritas Storage Foundation Installation Guide) 3. Shut down the authentication service by issuing a kill command on the process ID of the vxatd service. For example: # kill 12345 4. Manually restore the authentication credentials: # cp -r /var/VRTSatSnapShot/* /var/VRTSat/.VRTSat 5. Restart the authentication service: # vxatd If you already attempted to install Veritas Storage Foundation without backing up the authentication credentials, the credentials are lost and you must reconfigure the credentials. To reconfigure authentication credentials with the Root Broker and Authentication Broker: 1. Reconfigure the credentials using the vxatd command: # vxatd -o -r -a To reconfigure Authentication credentials with only the Root Broker: 1. Reconfigure the credentials using the vxatd command: # vxatd -o -r To reconfigure Authentication credentials with only the Authentication Broker: 1. On a system with the Authentication Broker, set up trust with the Root Broker: # vssat setuptrust --broker Root_Broker_machine:port \ --securitylevel high 2. On a system with the Root Broker, create an account for the Authentication Broker under the root Authentication Private Domain Repository: # vssat addprpl --pdrtype root --domain root_domain_name \ --prplname prplname --password password 3. On the system with the Authentication Broker, configure the Authentication Broker: # vxatd -o -a -n prplname -p password -x vx \ -y root_domain_name -q Root_Broker_machine_or_IP -z port \ -h root_hash_filename The values for the prplname, password, and root_domain_name arguments are the same as those used to create the account. 4. Start the Authentication service: # vxatd Installing the Web server for Veritas Storage Foundation Host Management package The VRTSobweb package (Web server for SF Host Management) can only be installed successfully if the VRTSob package (Veritas Enterprise Administrator) has already been installed on the system. You can use the following command to determine whether the VRTSob package is present: # pkginfo | grep VRTSob Software disc cannot be ejected during installation: During installation, if any of the products that contain Veritas Volume Manager (tm) were configured and started, the software disc cannot be ejected. This will prevent further use of the disc drive and will impact installation of packages from the language pack disc. This problem is not an issue if a product was installed or upgraded that required a system reboot to complete the installation. To avoid this problem at installation: 1. Specify the -installonly option to the installation script in addition to any other options. This will install the packages only. 2. Eject the software disc 3. Run the appropriate installation script , which is in /opt/VRTS/install, with the -configure option specified If a software disc cannot be ejected: 1. Stop the event source daemon: # /usr/sbin/vxddladm stop eventsource 2. Eject the software disc 3. Restart the event source daemon: # /usr/sbin/vxddladm start eventsource Errata in the Veritas File System 5.0 Administrator's Guide (Page 126) Step 3 in the procedure under the section "Assigning Allocation Properties" is incorrect. Step 3 should read as follows: Define two allocation policies called metadatapolicy and datapolicy to refer to the vol1 and vol2 volumes: # fsapadm define /mnt1 metadatapolicy vol1 # fsapadm define /mnt1 datapolicy vol2 (Page 127) Step 1 in the procedure under the section "Assigning Pattern Tables to Directories" is incorrect. Step 1 should read as follows: Define two allocation policies called mp3meta and mp3data to refer to the vol1 and vol2 volumes: # fsapadm define /mnt1 mp3meta vol1 # fsapadm define /mnt1 mp3data vol2 (Page 128) Step 1 in the procedure under the section "Assigning Pattern Tables to File Systems" is incorrect. Step 1 should read as follows: Define two allocation policies called mymeta and mydata to refer to vol1 and vol2 volumes: # fsapadm define /mnt1 mymeta vol1 # fsapadm define /mnt1 mydata vol2 Errata in the Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 Installation Guide: Note the following errata in the Veritas Storage Foundation Installation Guide: - For Solaris 10, Patch 119254-06 or higher is a prerequisite. - VRTSvxvm Patch 122058-01 is not required for Storage Foundation Basic, although it can optionally be installed by patchadd. - VRTSvxvm Patch 122058-01 is required if Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is licensed, or if Storage Foundation Basic is upgraded to Storage Foundation Enterprise. The patch must be applied by using the patchadd command. - If the upgrade scripts are used to upgrade a system with an encapsulated root disk from VxVM 3.5 MP4 to VxVM 5.0, the upgrade completes successfully, but the root disk does not appear to be encapsulated. Use the following workaround: 1. Copy the /VXVM5.0-UPGRADE/upgrade_start_system.SAV file to /etc/system 2. Copy the /VXVM5.0-UPGRADE/upgrade_start_vfstab.SAV file to /etc/vfstab 3. Edit the /etc/vfstab file, change all occurrences of "rootdg" in paths to read "bootdg", and then save the file 4. Reboot the system - Using the installsf or installvm installation scripts with the -configure option to complete the upgrade for Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0, may fail with the following error: CPI ERROR V-9-10-1052 Cannot upgrade SF to version 5.0 on vm240v5 as 3.5MP4 Use the following workaround: 1. Remove the .SF.upgrade file: # rm /opt/VRTS/install/.SF.upgrade 2. Recreate the .SF.upgrade file: # touch /opt/VRTS/install/.SF.upgrade 3. Reenter the installsf or installvm command, for example: # installvm -configure - (page 59) Storage Foundation Basic can be installed on Solaris 8, 9, and 10 systems (both 32 and 64-bit) and not just on Solaris 10 (64-bit) systems. - (page 65) If a Storage Foundation Basic system is upgraded to Storage Foundation Enterprise with the Veritas Volume Replicator licensed feature, you must additionally use the product installer to add the VVR packages (available under item 4). VRTSvxvm Patch 122058-01 must be applied after VVR packages are installed by the patchadd command. - (page 86) In the procedure "To upgrade on a system with an encapsulated root disk," step 2 should read: 2 Run the upgrade_start command with the -check option specified to verify the status of the root disk. # upgrade_start -check - (page 87) There should be an additional step between steps 14 and 15 to configure the software: 14 Perform a reconfiguration reboot. # reboot -- -r At this point, your pre-upgrade configuration should be in effect and any file systems previously defined on volumes should be defined and mounted. >> Run the installer script with the -configure option specified to configure the software. 15 Importing a pre-5.0 Veritas Volume Manager disk group does not automatically upgrade the disk group version to the VxVM 5.0 level. You may need to manually upgrade each of your disk groups following a VxVM upgrade. See "Upgrading the disk group version separately" on page 80. - (page 90) After step 2 in the procedure "To upgrade the operating system," there should be the following additional step: Run the installer script with the -configure option specified to configure the software. - (page 91) After step 10 in the procedure "To upgrade the Veritas Storage Foundation packages after upgrading the operating system," there should be the following additional step: Run the installer script with the -configure option specified to configure the software. - (page 98) Step 6 in the procedure "To upgrade from SUNWvxvm if the root disk is unencapsulated" should read as follows: 6 Run the installsf program. * If the disc is mounted automatically, enter: # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/storage_foundation # installsf -installonly * If the disc is mounted manually, enter: # cd /mount_point/storage_foundation # installsf -installonly - (page 98) After step 10 in the procedure "To upgrade from SUNWvxvm if the root disk is unencapsulated," there should be the following additional step: Run the installer with the -configure option specified to configure the software. - (page 154) The procedure in the section "Upgrading VxVM and the Solaris OS" cannot be used to upgrade from VxVM 3.5 MP4. This is because the upgrade_start and upgrade_finish scripts are not supported for such an upgrade path. Additions to the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System (SFCFS) 5.0 Release Notes: Addition to the Known Issues section in the SFCFS Release Notes: If a large message of the day or other notification is present, the installation scripts might be unable to complete the OS detect and therefore fail. Workaround: Minimize or remove the large message of the day or other notification that is present on your system and try the installation script again. ---------- For Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System Administrator's Guide 5.0 in the section "Setting up the disk group for coordinator disks" on page 45, step 6 is incorrect. It should read as follows: 6) Add the other two disks to the disk group. # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg set coordinator=off # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c2t1d0 # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg adddisk c3t1d0 # vxdg -g vxfencoorddg set coordinator=on See the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide. ---------- Documentation Errata for the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0 - Installation Guide - Phased upgrade In the SFCFS Installation Guide, "Phased upgrade" section on page 37, ignore the following note: Note: Each phase of the phased upgrade should be performed on more than one node of the cluster. A phased upgrade should not be performed from one of the nodes in the cluster. ---------- On page 43 of the SFCFS Installation Guide, step 5 and 6 of the "Phased upgrade" procedure in the "Shutting down VCS (phased only)" section is incorrect and missing commands. It should read as: 5. On each node that is not being upgraded, shut down VCS. a. Enter the following commands: # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hastop -local # /etc/init.d/vxfen stop # /opt/VRTS/bin/fsclustadm cfsdeinit b. Check to see if the qlog module is loaded: # /usr/sbin/modinfo | grep qlog c. If the qlog module is loaded, then unload it: # /usr/sbin/modunload -i d. Enter the following commands to stop GAB and LLT: # /etc/init.d/gab stop # /etc/init.d/llt.rc stop 6. Proceed to updating the configuration and confirm startup (phased and full) ---------- Documentation Errata for the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0 - Release Notes Version 4 and Version 5 file system disk layouts On page 9 of the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System Release Notes, the "Version 4 and Version 5 file system disk layouts" feature in the section "No longer supported and future support issues" should have the following first sentence instead of the existing first sentence: VxFS disk layout Version 4 and 5 are not supported for cluster mounts in SFCFS 5.0. Support for SFCFS configurations larger than 16 nodes On page 12 in the "Known issues" section for Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System Release Notes, the heading "Support for SFCFS configurations larger than 16 nodes" section should be replaced by the following text: SFCFS 5.0 is capable of supporting cluster file systems with up to 32 nodes. Symantec has tested and qualified SFCFS 5.0 cluster file system configurations of up to 16 nodes at product release time. For the latest information on SFCFS support issues, refer back to this TechNote on a regular basis. Additions to the Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) 5.0 Release Notes: When VVR is added to a Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) installation, VVR patch 122058-01 is not installed. When VxVM 5.0 is installed, you can add VVR by adding a VVR license and installing VVR. In this scenario, the VVR patch 122058-01 is not automatically installed. You must add the patch manually. For more information, refer to the README-122058-01 file in the volume_replicator/patches directory.
