Choosing a Migration Path
Deciding Which Method to Use
Chapter 2 29
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.
How Do You Know
If This Affects
You?
The following systems are affected:
•A-Class
•L-Class
•N-Class
Many of the HP-UX 11i v1 firmware patches rely on HP-UX 11i v1 tools
and system calls. The cold-install or update process uses a subset of
existing commands and system calls. The firmware installation fails
because of system call differences between the HP-UX 11i v1 operating
system and the install session version.
What To Do: HP strongly recommends that you install any firmware patches after you
have completed the cold-install or update process and your system is
running HP-UX 11i v1. Specific HP-UX 11i v1 firmware patches are
available at the following website:

Updating Network Drivers
Installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v1 will install a minimum set of
default networking drivers that apply to the system (see “HP-UX 11i v1
Always-Installed Network Drivers” on page 76). You may need to select
or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on
your system (see “HP-UX 11i v1 Selectable Network Drivers” on
page 79). This can easily be done during install or update by following
the instructions for your selected migration path.
Installing or updating HP-UX Web Server Suite
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 will install the version of HP-UX Web Server Suite
