NOTE: You cannot upgrade from DLV 2 to DLV 4 directly. DLV4 is the lowest disk layout that is supported by VxFS 5.1 SP1.

a.To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from DLV 2 to DLV 3, enter the following command:

#vxupgrade -n 3 <dir_name>

b.To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from DLV 3 to DLV 4, enter the following command:

#vxupgrade -n 4 <dir_name>

4.Upgrade to HP-UX 11i v3. For more information on upgrading, see the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide. To locate this document, go to the HP-UX Core docs page at: www.hp.com/ go/hpux-core-docs. On this page, select HP-UX 11i v3.

5.Install VxFS 5.1 SP1. For more information on installing VxFS 5.1 SP1, see Chapter 3 (page 27).

6.To convert any non-vxfs file system on your system to a vxfs file system, and upgrade the DLV from 2 and 3 to 7, enter the following command:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxfsconvert <vol_name>

The vxfsconvert command works with unmounted file systems. To upgrade mounted file system use the vxupgrade command as described in step 6, you must run fsck after vxfsconvert because vxfsconvert does not create all metadata files.

7.To run the VxFS-specific full fsck on the converted file system, enter the following command:

# fsck -F vxfs -y -o full <vol_name>

During pass 4, fsck displays several error messages that require a yes response to complete the conversion process.

8.VxFS file systems with disk layout 4, 5 and 6 can still be mounted with VxFS 5.1 SP1. However, to upgrade the disk layout version of mounted file systems to 7, use the vxupgrade command as follows:

a.To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 4 to disk layout 7, enter the following command:

#vxupgrade -n 5 <mount_point>

#vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>

#vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>

b.To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 5 to disk layout 7, enter the following command:

#vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>

#vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>

c.To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 6 to disk layout 7, enter the following command:

#vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>

d.To verify the conversion, enter the following command:

#fstyp -v <vol_name>
