Updating to HP-UX 11i v1
How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1
Chapter 6130
NOTE HP-UX 10.20 systems must use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount
DVD media (see “Using pfs_mount to Mount a DVD” on page 118);
HP-UX 11.0 or HP-UX 11i v1 systems can either install the patches
described in “Patching Your System to Read DVD Media” on page 117, or
use the pfs_mount command.
Step 5. Using either ksh, Posix-sh or Bourne shell, install update-ux on the
target system; the depot example uses
depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot.
From the CD/DVD
media:
•CD-ROM: swinstall -r -s /cdrom Update-UX \
\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
•DVD: swinstall -r -s /dvdrom Update-UX \
\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
From a depot: swinstall -r -s depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot \
Update-UX \@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
TIP The \ at the end of the first line is not needed if you enter the complete
command on one line.
The -r option writes log files to the specified alternate root (pseudo-root)
location, update-ux.root (Do not specify any other alternate root
location). Since the HP-UX 11i v1 Software Distributor tool contains
many keywords that 10.20 and 11.00 SD do not recognize, installing
update-ux initially at this alternate root location eliminates many
unnecessary update-ux warnings.
Immediately after update-ux is installed, a script copies update-ux to
/usr/sbin/. When update-ux runs for the first time, it will remove the
initial version at the alternate root location.
