Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6106

Updating Selectable Software

To update to HP-UX 11i v1 and specify additional selectable bundles

such as Software Package Builder on the command line, follow these

steps:

Step 1. If you want to install the HP-UX 11i v1 Foundation Operating

Environment bundles listed in Appendix C, “HP-UX 11i v1 Software

Bundles,” on page 175, plus the SwPkgBuilder Software Package Builder

bundle, enter from the DVD media as root:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11-OE SwPkgBuilder

If you want only to update your system with a selectable software

bundle, enter:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom SwPkgBuilder

Step 2. Complete any configuration for HP software explained in the HP-UX 11i

v1 Release Notes available on the Instant Information CD and at:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv1

Updating Using Interactive Software Selection

To interactively select software for an update, use the -i option. For

example:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -i

update-ux displays swinstall’s interactive user interface with software

already selected to match the default update. Now you can change

software selections. For example, you can select a non-default network

driver or a web browser before performing the update. Because

update-ux selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by

default, the interactive user interface provides a way to deselect the

default software.

CAUTION Do not combine -i and -x options in the same update-ux command.

For help using swinstall in interactive mode, refer to the swinstall (1M)

manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.
