Known Problems

• EISA 100BT Warning Message

When you remove an EISA 100BT product from a system or update a system having EISA 100BT to any later releases of

HP-UX, you may find the following message in the

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log

file:

Running remove setup command

/usr/lbin/sw/remove_setup.

/dev/diag/ether* not found.

This behavior occurs in the HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11.0, and

HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) versions of this product. Presence or absence of this file on a system will not have any impact on this product. You may safely ignore this message.

• Patch Needed Before Installing Fibre Channel

Adaptor

Before you migrate to HP-UX 11i, make sure that

PHKL_23626 (or later) is included in your installation.

Download HP-UX patches from the HP IT Resource Center.

See “Web Resources” on page 21.

• Screen May Lock During Update

When updating a system having a graphics console with

Common Desktop Environment (CDE) enabled from HP-UX

10.20 to HP-UX 11.0, the screen may go blank and the system will begin beeping. This problem is caused by the screen being automatically locked by CDE after a preset idle time.

To avoid this problem, turn CDE’s screen lock off before entering the swinstall command to update to HP-UX 11.0.

To turn the screen lock off, select CDE Style Manager ->

Screen. Then click Screen Lock: Off and OK.

If you do not turn the screen lock off, the update will continue with the system beeping until the update is complete.

You will see the Display Locked window.

• Cold Installing over a Network?

When you cold install HP-UX 11.0 on a disk via a Fibre-

Channel network, you must select the appropriate Fibre

Channel card drivers during the cold-install process. For example, you would do this if your system boots from a remote disk drive rather than a local drive. The drivers are now available on the HP-UX 11.0 Install/Update/Recovery

CD. Failing to select the needed drivers will prevent your system from booting from the remote drive after cold installing HP-UX 11.0 on it.

19

For the drivers supplied on the HP-UX 11.0 CD, see "Meeting System Requirements" in Chapter 1 of the HP-UX 11.0

Installation and Update Guide.

Booting from a boot device connected via a Fibre Channel fabric switch is not supported. Connect the boot device directly to the system using one of the available Fibre Chan-

nel cards listed in “Selectable Drivers” on page 9.

• Installing 64-bit Minimal OS

You can now cold install the HP-UX 11.0 64-bit Minimal OS

(bundle name HPUXMinSys32/64) from the Install/Update/

Recovery CD without a problem. If you plan to install

HPUXMinSys32/64 via an Ignite-UX server, however, you will need to first edit manually the config file produced by make_config for the Core OS depot. In the config file, search for this line: sd_software_list="HPUXMinSys64,r=B.11.00,a=HP

UX_B.11.00_64,v=HP"

Change it to the following: sd_software_list="HPUXMinSys64 ProgSupport.C-

INC"
