AIX Requirements
AIX 6.1 AIX 7.1 AIX 7.2
HA - 7.1.2 TL8 SP1 TL2 SP1 SP1
Always check the following URL for known PowerHA fixes prior to upgrading
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/PHA_Migration/ha_install_mig_fixes.htm#_Toc483527879
• PowerHA has had “critical” volume group feature for data volume groups.
• When rootvg has the critical VG option set, and the system cannot access
a quorum of rootvg disks or all rootvg disks if quorum is disabled, then the
node is failed with a message sent to the console and KERNEL_PANIC
error logged in errpt.
• Support also exists with PowerHA 7.1.3 with proper AIX levels that supports
critical vg option.
• If either one of the above two did NOT apply, then undesired results may be
encountered during LPM.
• Now PowerHA 7.2 does it, and much more, automatically now.
3. Add entry in the /etc/inittab file, which is useful in case of a node crash
before restoring the
managed state:
mkitab hacmp_lpm:2:once:/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/cl_dr
undopremigrate >/dev/null 2>&1
4. Check if RSCT DMS critical resource monitoring function is enabled before LPM
operation.
6. Check if current node_timeout is equal with the value you set before:
clctrl -tune -x node_timeout
clodmget -n -f lpm_node_timeout HACMPcluster
PowerHA provides scripts that are called during different phases of the AIX live
kernel update. An overview of the PowerHA operations at each phase follows:
Check phase
Verifies that no other concurrent AIX Live Update is in progress in the cluster
Verifies that the cluster is in stable state
Verifies that there are no GLVM active asynchronous mirror pools
Pre-phase
Switches the active Enhanced Concurrent volume groups (VGs) in silent mode
Stops the cluster services and SRC daemons
Stops GLVM traffic if required
Post phase
Restarts GLVM traffic
Restarts System Resource Controller (SRC) daemons and cluster services
Restores the state of the Enhanced Concurrent volume groups

Live Kernel Update Support Enabling
Enabling via SMIT
An example of how to check the current value of this setting using the clmgr command
follows:
ENABLE_LIVE_UPDATE= “true”
ENABLE_LIVE_UPDATE= “false”
• The AIX level must already be at supported levels for PowerHA version

SMU – System Mirror User Interface
ROHA performs acquisition of EPCoD, activation of On/Off /CoD, allocation of DLPAR at resource
group start time and release of these resources at resource group stop time; nothing is done at
cluster synchronization time.
If LPM moves the LPAR to another HMC managed system, PowerHA adapts to the same.
PowerHA SystemMirror node name is the name of the node in PowerHA configuration.
LPAR name is the name of the LPAR hosting the node as seen by the HMC.
Matches between node names and LPAR names are stored into HACMPdynresop ODM
entries of each node and exploited when no other possibility.

Analyzes PowerHA SystemMirror log files for errors and provides the analysis report.
• Analyzes the log files and provides an error report based on error strings or time stamps.
• Analyzes the core dump file from the AIX® error log.
• Analyzes the log files that are collected through the snap and clsnap utility.
• Analyzes user-specified snap file based on error strings that are provided and generates a
report.
