tail -f /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
You may also wish to log all messages directed to the console by using the
script command. For example, to log all messages into a file named:
/tmp/updateOS, enter:
script -a /tmp/updateOS
To halt the script log process, enter: exit
Running Other Commands
You can run other commands during an update, such as viewing files and
tail. However, do not run other Software Distributor commands during
an update; doing so may cause the commands to function improperly.
Updating Problems?
If you encounter a problem during the update process, review Appendix
B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 155 for possible
solutions.
After the Update: Configuring OE Applications
After updating to an HP-UX 11i operating environment (OE), some OE
products will need post-installation configuration to make them
functional. This may be indicated by a message logged in
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log. Refer to each product’s installation
instructions for details. Location of OE product documentation is listed
in the tables at the back of the Read Before Installing or Updating to
HP-UX 11i booklet and in the HP-UX 11i March 2003 Release Notes
(available on the Instant Information CD and http://docs.hp.com).
All Software Does Not Get Updated
The update-ux command updates the HP-UX OS and any software
specified in additional software bundles available on the source media or
depot. When an OE is specified, some products in the OE such as HP
Apache-based Web Server, will not automatically get updated if a version
of the product not previously installed with an OE already exists on the
system. You’ll have to update or re-install those products after updating
11i. For more information about how to update these additional software
bundles, please see “Update Selectable Software” on page 120.
