Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

Chapter 2 27
Updating an Existing Operating System and Software
Updating SD-UX Before Installing/Updating Software
For additional examples and discussion regarding loading swgettools
refer to “SW-DIST Installation”, in this chapter.
Action: Getting the
New SD-UX Tools
Now, use swgettools to update SD-UX. For example:
/var/tmp/swgettools -s /SD_CDROM
If you get a message indicating that the software is not compatible, you
may disregard this message. This is because the tool is, in effect,
“updating itself”.
The expression -s /SD_CDROM indicates a CD-ROM drive mounted at
/SD_CDROM. If you get warning messages regarding tool compatibility at
this point, this is a normal part of the loading of the new tool set. See the
swgettools(1M) man page for more information on options.
Next Action Further examples are in the next section. After you have updated
SD-UX, you can use swinstall to update your system to the new
version of HP-UX, using the procedure described in “Updating HP-UX
Software”.
SW-DIST Installation
From CD-ROM To install the new SW-DIST product from the CD-ROM at /SD_CDROM,
enter the following:
cp /SD_CDROM/catalog/SW-GETTOOLS/pfiles/swgettools /var/tmp
/var/tmp/swgettools -s /SD_CDROM
From Remote Depot For example, to install the new SW-DIST from a remote depot on system
swperf at /depot_path, enter the following:
rcp swperf:/depot_path/catalog/SW-GETTOOLS/pfiles/swgettools \
/var/tmp
/var/tmp/swgettools -s swperf:/var/spool/sw
Updating SD-UX Without Root Access to the Remote
Depot
Option 1: If you are a system administrator, you can instruct your users to use this
procedure or Option 2 (below) for more restricted access, if you do not
want to grant the users rcp (.rhosts) access as root to the server.
