Exrequisite dependencies.

[r4mp4g3]

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.

[Torsten.]

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.

[Torsten.]

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

[OldSchool · Accepted solution]

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?

[Torsten.]

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

[Michael Steele_2]

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!

[r4mp4g3]

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

[Torsten.]

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".

[r4mp4g3]

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!

[r4mp4g3]

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.

[Shinji Teragaito_1]

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

[Michael Steele_2]

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?

[r4mp4g3]

Hi again,

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

2) This is not a BCV VG.

[Michael Steele_2]

Its vgreduce -f vg

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

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-91020/B2355-91020.pdf

[r4mp4g3]

?

I meant the umount command doesnt have an "-f" option. Why would I want to perfom a vgreduce?

[r4mp4g3]

Anyone has any idea???

Hi r4mp4g3

I've had this problem multiple times on a PA-RISC 11.31 system with the /var/opt/ignite mountpoint. lsof and fuser where always empty. Killed practically all processes on the system, still not umountable. Had to reboot the system :-(
