Updating Applications

After migrating to HP-UX 11i v1 and backing up your new system, you

should update and/or install other applications not installed with the

HP-UX 11i v1 operating environment. Here are some tips:

• To determine what products and versions are on your system, use

swlist:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l product

• You can also verify that all products are compatible with the new OS

by running swverify, as explained in Chapter 7.

•Use swinstall to install new software or update each application

not included in the HP-UX 11i v1 OS and OE bundle(s) you just

installed. For example, to install HP-UX 11i v1 on other systems

after installing 11i, insert the HP-UX 11i v1 media and enter:

/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom B5725AA

After installing selectable software, complete any post-install

configuration explained in the HP-UX 11i v1 Release Notes. To

complete the Ignite-UX server installation, see the Ignite-UX

Administration Guide.

• Note that some networking and mass-storage driver products require

HP-UX patches for successful installation. HP recommends that

install the latest HWEnable11i bundle (found on the OE media and

the Support Plus CD) before you install these drivers.
