Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 6108

Updating Using Interactive Software Selection

To interactively select software for an update, use the -i option. For

example:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -i

update-ux displays swinstall’s interactive user interface with software

already selected to match the default update. Now you can change

software selections. For example, you can select a non-default network

driver or a web browser before performing the update. Because

update-ux selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by

default, the interactive user interface provides a way to deselect the

default software.

CAUTION Do not combine -i and -x options in the same update-ux command.

For help using swinstall in interactive mode, refer to the swinstall (1M)

manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.

Updating to a 64-bit OS

IMPORTANT Make sure that your system can support the 64-bit OS before running

this command. For more information, see “Updating to 64-bit OS” on

page 57.

If you have decided to update an HP-UX 11i v1 32-bit system to a 64-bit

OS, use the following command:

•CD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -a 64

•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -a 64
