Important Notes

There is no independent SFDB2/SFSYB/SFORA in 5.1. As to installing SF 5.1, please refer to Storage Foundation 5.1 Installation Guide.
When upgrading from 4.x or 5.0 SF for ORACLE (HA)/SFRAC to 5.1 SF(HA)/SFRAC, the following SFDB features will no longer be supported:
  • Oramap (libvxoramap) and storage mapping commands (dbed_analyzer, vxstorage_stats)
  • DBED providers (DBEDAgent), Java GUI, and dbed_dbprocli. The DBED Oracle GUI features can only be done through command lines. Database cloning, database flashsnap and DBDST scheduling features will not be supported through the GUI. You can use Storage Foundation Manager 2.1 that is a separate product, to display Oracle database information such as tablespaces, database to lun mapping, and tablespace to lun mapping.
  • dbdst_makelbfs, vxdbts_fstatsummary, dbdst_fiostat_collector, vxdbts_get_datafile_stats
  • dbed_saveconfig, dbed_checkconfig
  • dbed_ckptplan, dbed_ckptpolicy
  • qio_convertdbfiles -f option that is used to check for file fragmentation
  • dbed_scheduler
  • The sfua_db_config functionality has changed in 5.1. This command is no longer needed to create a SFDB repository. You can issue dbed_update to create a new SQLite SFDB repository. The sfua_db_config will be used to set user and group access to various SFDB directories instead.
  • The sfua_rept_adm command was used in 5.0 to perform repository backup and restore. This command will be obsolete in 5.1. The sfua_rept_util command can be used instead to perform SQLite repository backup and restore.
Symantec's Storage Foundation 5.1 documentation set is available at the following URL: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=15107 .
Veritas File Systems with Disk Layout Version 4 or Version 5 Cannot be Mounted or Upgraded with Veritas File System Release 5.1
As documented in the 5.1 Release Notes, Veritas File System (VxFS) 5.1 supports only disk layout Version 6 and Version 7, and no prior disk layout versions can be created or mounted.

Due to a software restriction, the vxfsconvert utility in release 5.1 is currently unable to support a layout upgrade from disk layout Version 4 or Version 5 to disk layout Version 7. The vxfsconvert utility in release 5.1 can still be used to upgrade disk layout Version 2 and Version 3 to disk layout Version 7.

If an upgrade to release 5.1 is performed, it will not be possible to mount any file systems with disk layout Version 4 or Version 5, nor will it be possible to upgrade from disk layout Version 4 or Version 5 to disk layouts Version 6 or Version 7.

For complete details and our recommendations, please visit the following reference document: File systems with disk layout Version 4 or Version 5 cannot be mounted or upgraded running VERITAS File System (VxFS) 5.1 http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/339064
