Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6100

Use the following syntax to run the update-ux command:

update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-n|-y] [-i]

[-f selection_file] [-x option=value] [sw_spec]

where:

-s source_location

Specifies the source containing the new software depot.

Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD

containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot

combination. All paths used in the source_location

must be absolute paths. If source_location is a

remote system and depot combination, specify the

remote system first, followed by the absolute path to

the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces;

for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw

-? Prints the usage statement.

-n|-y Specifies whether or not update-ux issues a message

and waits for your response to continue whenever

something unexpected is encountered. Specify -n first

(or omit this option) to have update-ux “not continue”

when an error is issued. When you have reviewed or

resolved all errors, use -y instead of -n to have

update-ux ignore all messages that would otherwise

cause update-ux to wait for a user response.

-i Specifies the swinstall interactive user interface to

select software products from a depot or bundle during

the update. For more information, refer to the swinstall

(1M) manpage.
