If your system is already running HP-UX 11i, you may only need to
install one or more patch bundles to bring your system up-to-date or to
enable new hardware. Rather than doing a complete migration to the
current HP-UX 11i OS or OE, consider using swinstall to install the
latest patch bundles to meet your system needs:
For instructions on installing patch bundles on an existing HP-UX 11i
