Agile View Questions and Answers

What are the requirements for the use of persistent DSFs? Must I use them exclusively or can I mix them with legacy DSFs?

Ignite-UX will use persistent DSFs for installation and recovery on systems running HP-UX 11i v3. Internally, VxVM volume management software controlling installation and recovery uses persistent or legacy DSFs as appropriate for the VxVM version used. See “Important Characteristics of the Agile View” for more information.

Can the user switch from persistent to legacy DSFs and back if desired?

Switching between persistent and legacy DSFs is specific to the volume manager. See your volume manager documentation for more details.

Does the Ignite–UX interface enforce a particular use model with respect to persistent and legacy DSFs?

No, but persistent DSFs will be used for HP-UX 11i v3 installation and recovery.

If a persistent DSF is specified, is the equivalent legacy DSF added as well? And vice versa?

Ignite-UX will use persistent DSFs for installation and recovery. VxVM installation support software will create VxVM volumes using appropriate DSFs for the VxVM version used. See “Important Characteristics of the Agile View” for more information.
