(b) Umount any filesystems with VxVM volumes. (c) Stop applications using any VxVM volumes. o Before manually upgrading VxVM to 5.0MP4HF1, stop the vxpal process by stopping 'vxpal.StorageAgent': /etc/init.d/vxpal.StorageAgent stop o Upgrade 5.0MP4 VxVM packages to 5.0MP4HF1 using "rpm -Uvh" o After completion of upgrade the vxpal process can be restarted as: /etc/init.d/vxpal.StorageAgent start o Note: In some cases VRTSvxvm-platform package upgrade may fail to unload a VxVM module. This will be reported with a message similar to "FATAL: Module vxdmp is in use". If this happens, it is recommended that the system be rebooted to unload the old modules and load the new ones. o Select the appropriate RPMs for your system, and upgrade to the new patch.
