Updating to HP-UX 11i v1
Updating your system using update-ux includes the following tasks:
1. Create a network depot so you can update other systems on the
network. See “Task 1: Creating a Network Depot (Optional)” on
page 96. If you are not creating a network depot, you can skip this
task.
2. Install the latest version of the update-ux command on your system.
See “Task 2: Installing the Latest Update-UX Bundle (Required)” on
page 97.
3. Use update-ux to update your system. See “Task 3: Using update-ux
(Required)” on page 99. Several examples are provided to assist you
with some of the most common scenarios for using update-ux.
After updating to HP-UX 11i v1, you may need to configure OE
Applications to make your system fully functional.
NOTE update-ux removes all HP-UX 10.x patches from the system prior to
updating to HP-UX 11i v1. Any 10.x applications left on the system after
the update may not be supportable if they required those patches. After
migrating your system, consult the documentation for those remaining
applications for HP-UX 11i v1 requirements.
CAUTION If you are using CDs to update an HP-UX 10.20 system to the HP-UX 11i
v1 September 2005 (B.11.11) Operating Environments, the update-ux
command will fail because HP-UX 10.20 does not support Rockridge
extension. To resolve this issue, first update to the desired HP-UX 11i v1
December 2003 Operating Environments and then update to the desired
HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005 Operating Environments.
