Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v1
Update means using the update-ux command and Software Distributor
(SD) tools to selectively overwrite the operating system and application
software from a media or network source depot.
An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data,
configuration, and applications in place. You can update to HP-UX 11i v1
from the following HP-UX operating systems:
• HP-UX 10.20
• HP-UX 11.0
• HP-UX 11i v1
If you update an existing HP-UX OS to the September 2005 or later
version of HP-UX 11i v1, the system must be running either HP-UX
10.20, HP-UX 11.0, or HP-UX 11i v1. Updating from any other release to
HP-UX 11i v1 is not supported.
Table 3-1 lists the supported update paths from previous releases of
HP-UX to the current release of HP-UX 11i v1.
