HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide, March 2003

Choosing a Migration Path
Deciding Which Method to Use
Chapter 2 31
Many of the HP-UX 11i firmware patches rely on HP-UX 11i tools and
system calls. The cold-install or update process uses a subset of existing
commands and system calls. The firmware installation fails because of
system call differences between the HP-UX 11i operating system and the
install session version.
What To Do: HP strongly recommends that you install any firmware patches after you
have completed the cold-install or update process and your system is
running HP-UX 11i. Specific HP-UX 11i firmware patches are available
at the following website:

MLIB Temporarily Removed from TCOE Operating Environment
With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i, MLIB was temporarily
removed from the OE media. A supplemental CD-ROM has been
provided and instructions for installing or updating MLIB can be found
in “Installing MLIB (TCOE Customers)” on page 132
Updating Network Drivers
Installing or updating to HP-UX 11i will install a minimum set of default
networking drivers that apply to the system (see Table 4-1, “HP-UX 11i
Software Bundles and Descriptions,” on page 70). You may need to select
or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on
your system (see Table 4-2, “HP-UX 11i Selectable Drivers,” on page 72).
This can easily be done during install or update by following the
instructions for your selected migration path.
Installing or updating HP Apache-based web server
If your system already is running any version of the HP Apache-based
Web Server, installing or updating to an HP-UX 11i Operating
Environment will not install the version of Apache included with the
HP-UX 11i OE. If you wish to install the version of Apache provided with
HP-UX 11i, you should swinstall it after migrating your system to
HP-UX 11i. See Chapter 8 for example uses of the swinstall command.
