NOTE: Patch PHKL_37815 contains the new USB driver delivered with <strong>HP</strong>–UX 11i v3 (0903).<br />

Consequently, if you install this patch on an <strong>HP</strong>–UX 11i v3 system that is older than 0903, you<br />

might experience the same problem.<br />

You can use a single hpvmdevmgmt command to modify all guests to use the new USB DVD<br />

device. Run the following command when all affected guests are off or not running:<br />

/opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmdevmgmt -n gdev:old_USB_devicename:new_USB_devicename<br />

The new USB DVD devices appear in the default ioscan command as follows:<br />

usbmsvbus 0 255/0 mass_storage CLAIMED VIRTBUS USB Mass Storage<br />

ext_bus 1 255/0/0 usb_ms_scsi CLAIMED INTERFACE USB Mass Storage SCSI<br />

target 4 255/0/0.0 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE<br />

disk 7 255/0/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE <strong>HP</strong><br />

target 3 255/0/0.2 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE<br />

disk 6 255/0/0.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE <strong>HP</strong> DVD Writer 630c<br />

For information about ioscan output for USB devices, see the Understanding <strong>HP</strong>-UX 11iv2 and<br />

v3 USB ioscan white paper.<br />

The following ioscan command gives you all agile device names for the DVD on the system.<br />

Generally, there is one that is either directly connected or connected using the USB controller:<br />

ioscan -FN | grep DVD | awk -F: ‘{print "/dev/rdisk/disk" $13}’<br />

For information about updating to the new USB driver on <strong>HP</strong>-UX 11i v3, see the Update to USB<br />

Driver <strong>Support</strong> on <strong>HP</strong>-UX 11i v3 white paper.<br />

2.3.8 <strong>HP</strong>VM-Guest Bundle on <strong>HP</strong>-UX Guests No Longer Reduces Value of<br />

dma32_pool_size<br />

The <strong>HP</strong>VM-Guest bundle on <strong>HP</strong>-UX guests no longer reduces the value of dma32_pool_size.<br />

Contact <strong>HP</strong> Technical <strong>Support</strong> for suggested values of dma32_pool_size, if necessary.<br />

The <strong>HP</strong>VM-Guest bundle can be installed on physical <strong>Integrity</strong> servers where appropriate to facilitate<br />

migration or cloning of that system image onto a virtual machine. When installed directly onto a<br />

physical <strong>Integrity</strong> server, a warning is issued indicating that the bundle is intended for use on a<br />

virtual machine. There is no known adverse impact resulting from its installation.<br />

Users can configure dma32_pool_size to the value set when the V4.0 and V3.5 <strong>HP</strong>VM-Guest<br />

software was installed, with the following command:<br />

# kctune dma32_pool_size=4194304<br />

The virtual machines must be rebooted for this setting to take effect.<br />

2.3.9 Clicking Veritas Enterprise Administrator Link on the System Management<br />

Homepage Might Result in VEA Abort and Core Dump<br />

Starting with the September 2008 OEUR, clicking the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) link<br />

on the System Management Homepage might result in VEA aborting and dumping core. This<br />

problem happens when <strong>HP</strong>-UX has been configured to use large pages (64K base page size) and<br />

VEA is bundled with a lower version of JRE.<br />

This problem is also seen with VEA and the <strong>Integrity</strong> VM Host, as the <strong>Integrity</strong> VM default<br />

configuration includes large page size for performance optimization.<br />

To work around this problem, install the patch, PHCO_37694, which updates the version of JRE<br />

without requiring a reboot. For availability of the patch, check the <strong>HP</strong> IT Resource <strong>Center</strong> site:<br />

http://itrc.hp.com. For additional information about adjusting base page sizes, see the Tunable<br />

Base Page Size information at: Tunable Base Page Size white paper.<br />
