HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, December 2004

Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6 101

Step 4. Using ksh, Posix-sh, or Bourne shell, install update-ux on the target

system; the depot example uses depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot

•CD: swinstall -r -s /cdrom Update-UX \

\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2>

•DVD: swinstall -r -s /dvdrom Update-UX \

\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2>

swinstall -r -s depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot \

Update-UX \@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2>

TIP The backslash (\) 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.) Because 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 removes the

initial version at the alternate root location.
