It isn't always one step. 2) be careful of the Disk Group version number. VCS 1.3 DiskGroup Agent may have a limit on the DG version it can work with. May be not, but check it.

The OS is Solaris 5.8 on SUN Enterprise E4500. There are about 30 vxfs file systems in different disk groups being managed by VxVM and being activated and mounted by VCS. The file systems are accessed by Oracle, httpd, and Tibco Documentum server. Does anyone know of any real-life issues with this major upgrade of VxVM? What is the best way to perform the upgrade? What kind of changes in vxfs from 3.1 to 4.1. Will these changes cause problems in the vxfs file systems managed by VCS? Is VCS version 1.3.0 still supported? I don't seem to be able to find this info on Veritas website. VCS will not be upgraded. Your insights/suggestions/information will be greatly appreciated! Please don't ask me why we have not upgraded VCS because I just got onboard and was given this task. By the way, we can fall back to the old boot disks if vcs will not start or experience problems.
