HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, December 2003
Choosing a Migration Path
Deciding Which Method to Use
Chapter 238
To determine if any EISA drivers are installed on the system, use
swlist. For example:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle 100BaseT-00 FDDI-03 \
TermIO-01 TokenRing-02
If any EISA drivers are on the system, remove them. For example, to
remove the TermIO-01 EISA MUX driver, as root enter:
/usr/sbin/swremove -x autoreboot=true TermIO-01
The kernel will automatically regenerate and the system will reboot
after you remove each driver. After removing all EISA drivers,
proceed to update as explained below.
If you're updating from HP-UX version 11.0 or higher, update-ux will
determine if your hardware and firmware are compatible with 64-bit
operation. If you're updating from HP-UX version 10.20, however, refer
to the Software Transition Kit available on the HP-UX Applications
media. The STK contains tools and documents to assess applications or
libraries that run on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 and help transition them to
the HP-UX 11i v1 64-bit operation. The ITRC web site
(http://www.itresourcecenter.hp.com/) also has release notes and a
FAQ with details about supported systems and necessary firmware
updates.
