If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v1 System
If your system is already running HP-UX 11i v1, use update-ux to
update to the new version of the OE for HP-UX 11i v1.
You can install HP-UX 11i v1 patch bundles and the OnlineDiag bundle
to fix defects and enable new hardware. If you only install the patch
bundles, these bundles will not include the application updates provided
on the OE media.
Rather than doing a complete migration to the current HP-UX 11i v1 OS
or OE, consider using swinstall to install the latest patch bundles
(Table 3-2) to meet your system needs:
For instructions on installing patch bundles on an existing HP-UX 11i v1
system, see Chapter 6, “Updating to HP-UX 11i v1,” on page 87.
