Before You Begin
Before you update to HP-UX 11i v1, make sure that:
• You are updating from a supported migration path. See “Supported
Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v1” on page 51.
• You understand all of the considerations provided in Chapter 3,
particularly “Additional Update Considerations” on page 57.
• Your system meets the system requirements to update and operate
HP-UX 11i v1. For more details see Chapter 2, “System
Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating,” on page 31.
• You have completed the preparation tasks required to update your
system. For more information see Chapter 4, “Preparing to Install or
Update to HP-UX 11i v1,” on page 63.
CAUTION If the Distributed File System (DFS) is installed and in use on your
HP-UX 10.20 system to manage large numbers of files, update-ux
removes it and associated data during the update to HP-UX 11i v1. If you
need to continue using DFS, do not update to HP-UX 11.x or HP-UX
11i v1.
NOTE If your system already is running any version of the HP Apache-based
Web Server, installing or updating to an HP-UX 11i v1 Operating
Environment installs the version of HP-UX Web Server Suite included
with the HP-UX 11i v1 OE. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v1 Release Notes for
more information.
