Locate Source Media for Migration
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and
you have decided how to migrate to HP-UX 11i v1 (cold-install or
update), you need to locate the source media needed for the migration:
• If you are migrating one system at a time — Migrate directly
from the CDs or DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v1 media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v1 OE media (2 CDs, 1 DVD) — Boot and install a
new system or update an existing HP-UX 10.20, 11.0, or 11i
system.
— Support Plus CD — Install current HP-UX 11i v1 patch
bundles to fix defects in the OS and OE applications.
— HP-UX Application media (multiple CDs, 1 DVD) — Install
applications not installed with the OE or install a newer version
of an OE application. Some applications installed with an HP-UX
11i v1 OE may be older versions than those available on the
HP-UX Applications CDs/DVD supplied in the media kit.
Products available on Application CDs/DVD are listed in the
CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each CD or DVD.
• If you plan to migrate many systems in your enterprise — We
recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a “golden image”
from which to migrate. This install image can contain the HP-UX 11i
v1 OS, and OE, other applications and any needed patches. Once the
archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another
system, migration on each client system is a single-pass operation;
you will only need to reboot each client once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, see the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide, supplied on the HP-UX Instant Information
CD and on this web site:
