HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

NOTE: Before performing the update, you should verify that all of the target virtual partitions
meet the HP-UX 11.23 requirements as documented in the HP-UX 11.23 Read Before Installing or
Updating document. One example of a possible issue is file system size. The update-ux command
will ensure that there is sufficient space before allowing an update:
• /usr: 400000 kbytes free
• /opt: 1300000 kbytes free
• /: 200000 kbytes free
• /stand: 80000 kbytes total, and 49595 kbytes free
• /var: 900000 kbytes free
For details see also the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide.
OE Bundle Names for Update-UX
For HP-UX 11i v2, the possible OE bundles are:
HPUX11i-OE Foundation OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent Enterprise OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC Mission Critical OE
When choosing the OE, you should select the same OE that your virtual partition is running. Use
the swlist command to check which OE the virtual partition is running is currently running:
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.11.0612 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment Component
This shows the virtual partition is running a Mission Critical OE.
vPars Bundle Names for Update-UX
For vPars, the possible vPars bundles are:
T1335AC vPars A.03.xx bundle
T1335BC vPars A.04.xx bundle
In a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, the virtual partitions running A.03.xx must be
running version A.03.05 or later. Therefore, the “Revision” field in the depot should be A.03.05
or greater. Using swlist, we can find the revision number for the vPars A.03.xx bundle on the
depot.
# swlist -d @ depot1:/release/1111/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD | grep T1335AC
T1335AC A.03.05.02 HP-UX Virtual Partitions
Likewise, in a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, the virtual partitions running A.04.xx
must be running version A.04.05 or later. Therefore, the “Revision” field in the depot should be
A.04.05 or greater. Use the swlist command to find the revision number for the vPars A.04.xx
bundle on the depot.
Changing nPartition Boot Paths To Boot the vPars A.04.xx Monitor
CAUTION: To boot a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, you must boot a vPars A.04.05
or later vPars Monitor.
