If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v1 System
If your system is already running HP-UX 11i v1, you may only want to
install one or more patch bundles to proactively address defects or to
enable new hardware. If you only install the patch bundles, these
bundles will not include the application updates provided on the OE
media.
Rather than doing a complete migration to the current HP-UX 11i v1 OS
or OE, consider using swinstall to install the latest patch bundles
(Table 3-2) to meet your system needs:
For instructions on installing patch bundles on an existing HP-UX 11i v1
system, see Chapter 6, “Updating to HP-UX 11i v1,” on page 91.
