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 11.0 to 11i, including adding a
new operating environment (OE)
• Update an existing 11i system to a later release
• Change the OS word-width from 32-bit to 64-bit on appropriate
systems
• Change from one OE to another
For more information on using update-ux, see the update-ux (1M)
manpage.
