Quickstart/Overview for the Update Process
The following steps outline the basic steps to update your current OS to
the new 11i Operating Environments. (The OEs are described in detail in
the HP-UX 11i March 2003 Release Notes.)
Step 1. Select your OE
Step 2. Review the Update Process flow chart (Figure 6-1 on page 105).
Step 3. Read “Updating Tips” on page 106.
Step 4. Use swinstall to install the update-ux command from the CD, DVD or
the depot; the depot examples use
depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot. Read “Step 1: Install the
update-ux Command (Required Task!)” on page 111 for more
information.
From the CD/DVD
media:
swinstall -r -s /cdrom Update-UX \
\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
From a depot: swinstall -r -s depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot \
Update-UX \@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
The \ at the end of the first line is not needed if you enter the complete
command on one line.
Step 5. Create fresh log files, and copy old contents to different files
(swagent.log, update-ux.log, sys.log, rc.log).
Step 6. Run the update-ux command from the CD, DVD or the Depot to update
to the new OE. Read “Update to HP-UX 11i OS (OE Installed)” on
page 115 for more information.
From the CD/DVD
media:
update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent
From a depot: update-ux -s dept_server:/var/depots/my_depot \
HPUX11i-OE-Ent
