Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6 107
Updating to a 64-bit OS
Make sure that your system can support the 64-bit OS before running
this command. If you have decided to update an HP-UX 11i v1 32-bit sys-
tem to a 64-bit OS, use the following command:
•CD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -a 64
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -a 64
Update Using match_target
The following command using the match_target option installs the
entire HPUX11i-OE bundle, including all OS, networking, CDE, and
diagnostic bundles described in the previous example and any software
selected by match_target. The software you want to install might not
come from a bundle.
•CD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom \
-x match_target=true HPUX11i-OE
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -x match_target=true
HPUX11i-OE
Updating Existing
OE Components
Only
The following command updates the same OE (HPUX11i-OE) and installs
the OS, networking, CDE, and diagnostics bundles.
•CD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -x match_target=true
HPUX11i-OE.
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -x match_target=true
HPUX11i-OE.
The difference from the previous example is that the dot (.) following the
OE bundle name installs the OE bundle wrapper, not the entire OE.
With this variation, only those OE components that are already installed
on your system get updated. Any new OE components and products are
not installed.
If no argument is specified, then only the OS and its components are
updated. However, HP does not recommend using match_target to
update your system to an OE without specifying an argument because:
• If software arguments are not specified, match_target only installs
filesets matching those already on your system. Filesets containing
any new HP-UX 11i v1 functionality introduced are not selected.
• Some software that is installed does not include bundle wrappers,
making identification of software on the system more difficult.
