Choosing a Migration Path 2 Choosing a Migration Path This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you decide the most appropriate method to move your system to HP-UX 11i v1. What You Will Find in This Chapter: IMPORTANT • “Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases” on page 26 details the supported paths based on your current version of HP-UX 11i v1.
Choosing a Migration Path Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases You can cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 and its accompanying operating environment on any supported system listed in Table 3-1, “Supported Systems,” on page 42, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update an existing HP-UX OS to the June 2003 version of HP-UX 11i v1, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Deciding Which Method to Use Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any additional needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 on your system or update it.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use • Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See “Planning Your Disk Space Needs” on page 83. • Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from user, application and data files. You can cold-install from any supported HP-UX OS. (See Table 3-1, “Supported Systems,” on page 42.) The cold-install process using Ignite-UX is described in Chapter 5. See “Preparing to Cold-Install Your System” on page 88 for more information. Update When...
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Additional Considerations (Cold-install or Update) Firmware Patches Should Not Be Included Cold-Install or Update Session If you are migrating from either HP-UX 10.20 or HP-UX 11.0, HP strongly recommends you do not include firmware patches while running a cold-install or update session.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use included with the HP-UX 11i v1 OE. See the HP-UX 11i v1 Release Notes for more information about the HP-UX Web Server Suite: HP-UX Apache-based web server, HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine, HP-UX Webmin-based Admin, HP-UX XML Web Server Tools. Installing or Updating Netscape Directory Server Although the Netscape Directory Server (NDS) Version 6.02 is included in HP-UX 11i v1 OEs, you must explicitly select NDS during the install or update process.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use HP 3D Graphics No Longer Supported pre-PA-RISC 2.0 Systems As of the September 2002 HP-UX 11i v1 release, HP 3D Graphics are no longer supported on PA-RISC systems older than version 2.0. If you have an older PA-RISC workstation and need 3D Graphics, HP recommends that you do not install or update to the this release of the Technical Computing (TCOE) or Minimal Computing Operating Environments (MCOE).
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Updating to 64-bit OS update-ux defaults to the OS word-width that your system is currently running. For example, if the target system is running 32-bit OS, this will be the default for the new OS to be installed. NOTE Changing an existing 64-bit OS to 32-bit is not supported. To return a 64-bit OS to 32-bit, use the Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery command to restore the 32-bit OS.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use • If updating an existing HP-UX 11i v1 system having any of the following EISA network drivers installed, you must remove all EISA drivers before updating from 32-bit to 64-bit OS: — — — — 100BaseT-00 — EISA 100BaseT FDDI-03 — EISA FDDI TermIO-01 — EISA MUX TokenRing-02 — EISA Token Ring (New drivers installed by default are listed in “HP-UX 11i v1 Always-Installed Network Drivers” on page 76.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Cold-Install Considerations The following sections provide additional information to assist you in your decision to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1: Using VxVM Rootability Ignite-UX now provides you the option to install and configure VxVM 3.5 on your root volume. If you plan to configure your root volume with VxVM 3.5, make sure you read the supporting VxVM 3.5 documentation included on the Instant Information CD.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Installing from Golden Images If you need to install the same OS/OE and applications on many systems in your network, use an Ignite-UX server as explained in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. With Ignite-UX, you can create a single install image (golden image) containing OS/OE bundles, application bundles and patch bundles, then install the image on multiple systems in your environment.
Choosing a Migration Path If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v1 System... If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i v1 System... If your system is already running HP-UX 11i v1, you may only need to install one or more patch bundles to bring your system up-to-date or to enable new hardware.
Choosing a Migration Path Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i v1, you can choose to either cold-install or update from either CD-ROM or DVD media.
Choosing a Migration Path Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media How is the New DVD Packaging Organized? Because DVDs can hold significantly more data (over 4GB vs. 650MB for CD-ROM), the HP-UX 11i v1 operating environment, and all of the HP-UX 11i v1 applications have been optimized to fit on 1 DVD each.
Choosing a Migration Path Next Steps Next Steps Once you have decided how you want to move to HP-UX 11i v1, you can now evaluate the system requirements to run HP-UX 11i v1 against your system’s configuration.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 Update to HP-UX 11i v1 OS (No OE Installed) NOTE HP strongly recommends that you update your system with an operating environment to provide you with the an integrated and tested set of supporting software and applications. If you do not specify an OE bundle update-ux will only the install the Core components (Table 4-1, “HP-UX 11i v1 Core Software Bundles,” on page 73). Any additional software bundles associated with an OE are not installed.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 Downgrading an OE If you wish to downgrade your system from a higher-level OE, say, from Mission Critical OE to 11i Foundation OE, first use update-ux to install the smaller OE from the la set of HP-UX 11i v1 media, then use swremove to remove the unwanted OE bundle and its software. For example, to move from the 64-bit Mission Critical OE to the 64-bit default 11i OE: Step 1.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 • DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -x match_target=true HPUX11i-OE The following command updates the same OE (HPUX11i-OE) and installs the OS, networking, CDE, and diagnostics bundles. The difference from the previous example is that the dot (.) following the OE bundle name installs the OE bundle wrapper, not the entire OE. With this variation, only those OE components that are already installed on your system get updated.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 CAUTION Do not combine -i and -x options in the same update-ux command. When the -i option is specified, swinstall’s interactive user interface is active only when swinstall is running to load software from each source location. When installing from HP-UX 11i v1 CDs, you will have to select non-default software for each CD. If you do set swinstall options like match_target, be sure to re-select those options in the second swinstall session.

Using the update-ux Tool C Using the update-ux Tool This appendix describes the update-ux tool. Beginning with the 11i release, the update-ux command replaces swgettools to perform these OS update tasks: • Update the HP-UX OS from 10.20 or 11.
Using the update-ux Tool Overview Overview The update-ux command updates your system in this order: 1. Performs preparation steps including checking the root volume (see “About update-ux” on page 193). 2. Calls swinstall to install software bundles from CD1. swinstall does its Selection and Analysis processes on the software loaded from the CD, then replaces the existing OS with 11i OS bundles and default network drivers. 3.
Using the update-ux Tool About update-ux About update-ux The update-ux command improves the usability and robustness of the update process by eliminating many of the manual steps required by swgettools in previous HP-UX updates. In addition to ensuring a safe environment on the target system for the OS update, update-ux performs these update preparation steps before initiating the update: • Before updating from HP-UX 10.
Using the update-ux Tool update-ux Syntax update-ux Syntax update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-a 32|64] [-n|-y] [-i] [-x option=value] [sw_spec] where: -s source_location Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted CD containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot combination. All paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths.
Using the update-ux Tool update-ux Syntax For information on swinstall options, see 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 will be updated. For more about update-ux, see the update-ux (1M) manpage.

Configuring Built-In PCI Networking 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) D Configuring Built-In PCI Networking This appendix describes configuring built-in (or core) PCI networking cards in HP workstations and servers. 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) These instructions apply to the 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) product. They assume that the card has been factory installed and the software already loaded on your disk. Step 1.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) lanscan Step 3. Set the MTU value to 9000 for jumbo frames by executing: lanadmin -M 9000 PPA_number Step 4. To verify MTU change, execute: netstat -rn. Step 5. To check the current Ethernet frame size, execute: lanadmin -m NOTE PPA_number An alternative way to configure the jumbo frame size is to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf (or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf).
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The following subsections apply to the PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 network cards. The information on the 100Base-FX/9000 (fiber) card is only applicable to the V-class server. The PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 products interface various types of HP servers and workstations to either a 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 100Base-FX network.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 • The PCI 100Base-FX (fiber) card operates only at 100Mbits/s half-duplex mode. The fiber card does not support autonegotiation or autosensing. • Only the PCI 100Base-TX card supports both full and half-duplex modes. If your hub or switch does not support autonegotiation, ensure that your hub or switch is set to the desired duplex mode.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 If your network uses BNC connections, attach the LAN cable to the 10 Mbits/s BNC connector. If your network uses Attachment Unit Interfaces (AUIs), attach your 10 Mbits/s Media Access Unit (MAU) to the AUI connector. Only use one of the three connectors at a time; disconnect the other two connectors on the card. The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the BNC and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 Step 2. Configure the card using SAM: a. Log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by executing: ioscan b. Run the System Administration Manager: sam c. Double click Networking and Communications. d. Double click Network Interface Cards. e. Highlight the PCI 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX card and choose Configure from the Actions menu. f. Fill in the form according to the instructions. g.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 e. To configure remote systems, see the Using PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 guide, available on the Instant Information CD and on the Web at: http://docs.hp.com/ Do this step only if remote systems have not been previously configured. Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Because this PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN card supports autonegotiation, you should not normally need to manually set the duplex mode.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 Ensure that the speed, duplex mode, and autonegotiation of the associated switch are configured the same as on the PCI 10/100Base-TX card. If the switch supports autonegotiation on the ports connected to the cards, this should be enabled as explained in “Autonegotiation and Auto-sensing” on page 205. To list the current speed and duplex mode of a PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card, use the -x option (lowercase x) in the lanadmin command.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 If you use manual configuration to change the card to a different speed and duplex mode, you may need to turn autonegotiation on first before the manual setting takes place. NOTE Mismatches between the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card and switch will cause incorrect operation.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The fiber card (100Base-FX/9000) operates at 100 Mbit/s and in half-duplex mode only. It does not support autonegotiation or autosensing. NOTE If the PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the PCI card will autosense the speed of the link and set itself accordingly. The card will be set to half-duplex in this case.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The initial transmit threshold value is set to eliminate transmit underruns (that is, when the transmitter encounters an empty transmit FIFO during the transmission). However, it can also reduce transmit performance by not being able to pre-fetch the next packet until the current frame is completely transferred. This causes a slight delay between frames, resulting in an overall drop in transmit performance.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 may have a more noticeable drop in performance (when more than 1 out of every 1000 packets have errors) than applications which are request-response in nature (NFS, for example). Transmit underrun errors may occur on some HP systems when there is sufficient bus contention from competing I/O devices on the system I/O bus. These errors can be monitored in two ways: 1. Examine the output from the netstat -I command.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The Link Status LED is for the RJ-45 connector only. The link LED is lit only when the RJ-45 connector on the card is connected properly to a 10/100 Mbit/s switch or hub.When the RJ-45 cable connection is used, the link LED must be lit to indicate proper functioning.
