Upgrading the disk layout versions

12Verify the syntax of the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file by running the following commands on system01:

#cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

#/opt/VRTS/bin/hacf -verify .

13Run the following command on all the nodes to start VCS.

#/opt/VRTS/bin/hastart

14Configure SFCFS on all the nodes. See “Using the log files”.

Note: VCS configuration files are not changed during this configuration.

15Upgrade file systems to proper disk layout version as mentioned in “Upgrading the disk layout versions” on page 50.

16Verify that all the file systems are working properly and data is intact. See cfsmount(1M).

Upgrading the disk layout versions

SFCFS 5.0 supports disk layouts Versions 4, 5, 6 and 7 for locally mounted file systems and disk layouts Versions 6 and 7 for cluster mounted file systems. If you have cluster mounted file systems with disk layout versions lower than 6, then after upgrading to SFCFS 5.0, perform the following additional steps to prepare the file system for being mounted on all nodes of the cluster:

1Select one of the nodes of the cluster and mount the file system locally on this node. For example, mount it without the -oclusteroption. Enter,

#mount -F vxfs block_device_path /mnt1

2Current disk layout version on a file system can be found using

#fstyp -v char_device_path grep version \

awk '{print $2}'

3On the node selected in step 1, incrementally upgrade the disk layout of this file system to layout Version 6 or layout Version 7. For example, if you had a cluster mounted file system of disk layout Version 4 while running with SFCFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i Version 1, after upgrading to SFCFS 5.0, you would need to upgrade the disk layout to version 6 or version 7 incrementally as follows:

#vxupgrade -n 5 /mnt1

#vxupgrade -n 6 /mnt1

#vxupgrade -n 7 /mnt1

HP-UX specifications

Symantec HP-UX is a comprehensive security solution engineered to protect the HP-UX operating system, a variant of the UNIX OS developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). As a robust enterprise environment, HP-UX is widely used in mission-critical applications, particularly in industries such as finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Symantec’s integration with HP-UX enhances security, providing essential features that cater to the needs of large organizations.

One of the main features of Symantec HP-UX is its advanced threat protection capabilities. It employs a multi-layered approach to security, utilizing signature-based detection, behavior-based analysis, and heuristics to identify and mitigate known and unknown threats. This real-time protection minimizes the risk of malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt business operations.

In addition to threat protection, Symantec HP-UX includes robust data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. DLP technology helps organizations ensure that their confidential data remains secure by preventing unauthorized access and exfiltration. This feature is particularly important for compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA, as it aids in safeguarding customer information.

Another significant characteristic of Symantec HP-UX is its scalability. Designed to handle the demands of enterprise environments, the solution can be easily integrated with existing IT infrastructure while adapting to growing workloads. This functionality is essential for organizations that require flexible security measures to accommodate expansion or changes in business processes.

Security management and reporting are also key components of Symantec HP-UX. The solution provides centralized management tools that allow administrators to monitor security status, deploy updates, and manage policy across multiple systems from a single interface. These tools enhance visibility into security incidents and enable organizations to respond promptly to potential threats.

Moreover, Symantec HP-UX offers automated updates and patch management. Regular updates are crucial for maintaining a secure environment, and the solution ensures that systems are protected against the latest vulnerabilities without requiring extensive manual intervention.

In summary, Symantec HP-UX is a powerful security solution designed for the HP-UX operating system. Its main features include advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, scalability, centralized management, and automated updates. These characteristics make it a vital tool for organizations aiming to protect their data and maintain a secure operational environment in the face of evolving cyber threats.
