tail -f /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
You may also wish to log all messages directed to the console by using the
script command. For example, to log all messages into a file named:
/tmp/updateOS, enter:
script -a /tmp/updateOS
To halt the script log process, enter: exit
Running Other Commands
You can run other commands during an update, such as viewing files and
tail. However, do not run other Software Distributor commands during
an update; doing so may cause the commands to function improperly.
Updating Problems?
If you encounter a problem during the update process, review Appendix
B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 157 for possible
solutions.
After the Update: Configuring OE Applications
After updating to an HP-UX 11i v1 operating environment (OE), some
OE products will need post-installation configuration to make them
functional. This may be indicated by a message logged in
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log. Refer to each product’s installation
instructions for details. Location of OE product documentation is listed
in the tables at the back of the Read Before Installing or Updating to
HP-UX 11i booklet and in the HP-UX 11i June 2003 Release Notes
(available on the Instant Information CD and http://docs.hp.com).
All Software Does Not Get Updated
The update-ux command updates the HP-UX OS and any software
specified in additional software bundles available on the source media or
depot. When an OE is specified, some products in the OE will not
automatically get updated if a version of the product not previously
installed with an OE already exists on the system. You’ll have to update
or re-install those products after updating 11i. For more information
about how to update these additional software bundles, please see
“Update Selectable Software” on page 126.
