Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases
You can cold-install HP-UX 11i and its accompanying operating
environment on any supported system listed in Table 3-1, “Supported
Systems,” on page 44, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update
an existing HP-UX OS to the March 2003 version of HP-UX 11i, the
system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0. If you are updating
from a previous HP-UX 11i release, see “If You Have an Existing HP-UX
11i System...” on page 38. Updating from any other release directly to
HP-UX 11i is not a supported migration path.
For help updating from HP-UX 10.20 or 10.30, use the Software
Transition Kit available at this web site:
