VxVM and VxFS Installation through Cold-Install

LVM with VxFS 4.1 Configuration

A default cold-install will result in an LVM system with VxFS 4.1 and OnlineJFS 4.1 installed (OnlineJFS will NOT be installed with the BOE). No additional selections in the IUX user interface (UI) are needed to cold-install this configuration.

LVM with VxFS 5.0 Configuration

To cold-install LVM with VxFS 5.0, manually select VxFS 5.0 and/or OnlineJFS 5.0 for install in the Ignite-UX user interface’s Software tab.

VxVM 5.0 with VxFS 5.0 Configuration

To cold-install VxVM with VxFS, manually select the VxVM with VxFS environment (in the Ignite-UX Basic tab) and manually select VxVM 5.0 in the Software tab for install. You MUST do both (explicitly select the VxVM “environment” and the VxVM 5.0 bundle [Base-VxVM-50]) or Ignite-UX will fail with this error:

ERROR: The system has VxVM configured, but the VERITAS Volume Manager software was not selected for loading. You are required to load it in order for the installation to succeed. Use the software selection screen to mark the appropriate VxVM software for loading.
