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 />
