Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6 103

-n|-y Specifies whether or not update-ux issues a message

and waits for your response to continue whenever

something unexpected is attempted. Specify -n first (or

omit this option) to have update-ux “not continue”

when an error is issued. When you have reviewed or

resolved all errors, use -y instead of -n to have

update-ux ignore all messages that require a user

response.

-f selection_file

Reads the list of software selections from

selection_file instead of (or in addition to) the

command line. This option enables you to select and

update optional software or to deselect

default-installed software.

-i Specifies the swinstall interactive user interface to

select software products from a depot or bundle during

the update. For more information, refer to the swinstall

(1M) manpage.

-x option=value

Specifies swinstall options to be applied during the

update. For a typical update, no swinstall options are

required. swinstall -p (preview) is not supported. For

information on swinstall options, refer to the

swinstall (1M) manpage or the Software Distributor

Administration Guide.

sw_spec Specifies one or more optional software bundles to be

updated, such as an Operating Environment (OE)

bundle name, a network-driver bundle, or Ignite-UX. If

an OE bundle name is not included on the command

line, only the core OS is updated. For more information,

see Appendix C, “HP-UX 11i v1 Software Bundles,” on

page 177.

For more about update-ux, refer to the update-ux (1M) manpage.
