HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, December 2003

Updating to HP-UX 11i v1
Updating Tips
Chapter 6 125
Verify The Update
To verify the software versions after updating, list the products using the
swlist command. To verify that all software products are compatible
with the new OS, run swverify. These operations are explained in
Chapter 7, “Verifying System Migration,” on page 139.
Back Up Your System!
After you update, please back up your system. We recommend using the
Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery command to
create a recovery archive immediately after updating to HP-UX 11i v1.
By backing up your system, you will have a reliable system image to
return to if subsequent system changes or a system failure corrupts your
system. To use these recovery commands, you need to first install the
Ignite-UX bundle as shown later in the update examples.
Use the same process you used to back up your system before migrating
to HP-UX 11i v1. See “Back up Your System!” on page 93 in Chapter 4.
