Exrequisite dependencies.

r4mp4g3 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:37:16 GMT

Hi, How can I check the exrequisite dependencies for a depot?

I'm trying to instlal the Guest Tools on a newly installed HP Virtual Machine 4.1 guest but it says the following:

* 1 fileset(s) have been excluded due to exrequisite
dependencies.

The fileset "vmTools.VMTOOLS-RUN,r=B.04.10" was excluded due
to an exrequisite dependency on "vmKernel"

Any way of knowing which installed product is conflicting with this?

Virtual Partitions (vPars) is not installed, by the way.

It's mentioned in the swagent log some lines above.

Hi

I have no idea what exrequisite dependicies are for a depot. Nor can I get a valid hit when searching.

This may happen if you don't install the AVIO bundles for example. However, the reason will be in the logs.

according to:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5875/ch10s04.html

"Exrerequisite
Software that may not be present when the fileset is operated on by SD-UX. For example, specifying an exrequisite for a fileset prevents the fileset from being installed if any of the specified exrequisite software objects are installed or are being installed."

Since the message is:

The fileset "vmTools.VMTOOLS-RUN,r=B.04.10" was excluded due
to an exrequisite dependency on "vmKernel"

I'd look for vmKernal in the logs. If appears to already be installed, and can't be if you want the VMTOOLS?

To make it a bit easier please tell if this is the host or guest and send a "swlist".

software excluded messages appear during swinstall. So run a preview, swinstall -p

You are attempting to install HPVM Guest Kit on the HOST, not a
GUEST. You can know the conflict filesets by specifying
"-a exrequisites" as follows:

# swlist -a exrequisites -s /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd HPVM-Guest.vmTools

# HPVM-Guest
# HPVM-Guest.vmTools
HPVM-Guest.vmTools.VMTOOLS-MAN
HPVM-Guest.vmTools.VMTOOLS-RUN vmKernel T2767AC.HPVM T2767BC.HPVM

To install HPVM-Guest successfully, it's required
that "vmKernel", "T2767AC.HPVM" and "T2767BC.HPVM" are not
installed. NOTE: This is the result on HPVM 4.1.

Hope this helps

Thanks everyone! The solution was to remove the "VMKernel" product. I've dumped an Ignite recovery of a machine that's an VM Host itself on a VM Guest... so I had to remove the VM Host software.

By the way, I got another problem XD... I'm trying to move a volume group (its disks) from one server to another... but I cannot deactivate the VG cuz Im not able to umount a filesystem created on it.

This box is out Ignite server and I'm trying to umount the fs /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives... performing an lsof or fuser shows nothing accesing this FS but when I try to umount it says its "busy". Anything to do without rebooting?

Thanks.

It's maybe an NFS export. Check this!

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

r4mp4g3 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:46:40 GMT

I've stopped the NFS services and the problem still exists.

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

See if it is listed in the exports file, comment and do the export again.

Hi

Re: "...but I cannot deactivate the VG cuz Im not able to umount a filesystem created on it..."

Run

fuser -cu /filesystem, to preview
fuser -cuk /filesystem, to kill left around processes

Note: Often, it your process. Your shell pid. Did you

cd /filesystem?

>Torsten: See if it is listed in the exports file, comment and do the export again.

That may not be good enough. You probably have to use "exportfs -u filesystem".

Hi, this box is a HP-UX 11.31... so I use /etc/dfs/dfstab instead of /etc/exports. I've tried to comment entries in dfstab and do a "shareall" again and I've done an "unshareall" so that nothing was exported but with no success so far... the FS remains busy!

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

r4mp4g3 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:59:55 GMT

By the way, the "fuser -ck /FS" and so was the first thing I did... but as I commented before nor in fuser neither in lsof output It shows nothing... There is no user with that FS as current directory.

Did you try to specify the force option (-f) to umount on your 11.31 environment ?

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

Michael Steele_2 — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:54:45 GMT

Hi

a) Check for duplicate minor numbers with group files

b) vgdisplay -v vg
Compare current and open LVs

c) If you are running BCV's, verify the sync has completed

Question: Is this a BCV vg?

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

r4mp4g3 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:38:30 GMT

Hi again,

1) The force option (-f) does not exist in HP-UX.

2) This is not a BCV VG.

Re: Exrequisite dependencies.

Michael Steele_2 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:31:53 GMT

Its vgreduce -f vg

/usr/sbin/vgreduce [-A autobackup] [-f] vg_name
