Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6 99

Task 3: Using update-ux (Required)

After you have installed the Update-UX bundle on the target system and,

optionally, created an update depot containing all software to be

installed, you can now proceed to update your target system.

The Update-UX product includes a default selections file,

update-ux.selections, which is installed in /usr/lib/sw. This file

provides a list of bundles that are selected for install during an OS

update.

Update-UX provides support for the -f

selection_file

option on the

update-ux command line. With this option you can create your own

selections file and specify that your file be used in place of the default

selections file. This provides you with the flexibility to deselect any

bundles listed in the update-ux.selections file by providing your own

file, which does not contain these bundles.

To do this, you must first install the March 2004 version or later version

of the Update-UX product onto your target system, then copy and edit

the /usr/lib/sw/update-ux.selections file as desired. When

executing Update-UX, your custom selections file can be specified on the

update-ux command line via the -f

selection_file

option.
