Environment

Problem



installrp for upgrade from 5.1SP1RP1P2 to RP2 fails when dmp_native_support is on and zpools are imported.
 


Error



The following error occurs when the RP2 install is performing SFHA prestop tasks:


VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-15690 Operation failed for one or more zpools
VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-15686 The following zpool(s) could not be migrated as they are not healthy -
zpoolname

 


Environment



Solaris 10 withSF 5.1_SP1RP1P2

 


Cause



This can occur because dmp_native_support remains "on" even after issuing the command to turn it off.  This may be a seen if settings were previously wrong, but were honored after a code upgrade.

 


Solution



A device tree cleanup was needed to turn dmp_native_support to "off."

Perform a device tree cleanup since export of zpools alone does not solve the issue.  This can occur because dmp_native_support remains "on" and a device tree cleanup was needed to turn dmp_native_support to "off."  After this procedure the upgrade to RP2 succeeds:
 
* Perform a device tree cleanup
* Verify dmp_native_support if off
* Verify namingscheme is EBN
* Export zpools
* Perform the upgrade to RP2.
