Overview Other Resources Other Resources You can find other important information about HP-UX 11i v1 updates and issues in several resources: • HP-UX 11i v1 Release Notes - available on the Instant Information CD and the Hewlett-Packard documentation web site: http://docs.hp.com. That document also lists major changes from the previous HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i v1 releases.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update 2 Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you decide the most appropriate method to move your system to HP-UX 11i v1.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update 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 46, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update an existing HP-UX OS to the June 2004 version of HP-UX 11i v1, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update 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: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use • Your disk space needs to be reconfigured. 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 46.) The cold-install process using Ignite-UX is described in Chapter 5.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use If your system meets these requirements, follow the update procedure in Chapter 6. See “Preparing to Update Your Existing System” on page 89 for more information about preparing to update your system. Considerations for Cold-install and Update Firmware Patches Should Not Be Included In Cold-Install or Update Session If you are migrating from either HP-UX 10.20 or HP-UX 11.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use 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 included with the HP-UX 11i v1 OE.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use that you do not install or update to this release of the Technical Computing (TCOE) or Minimal Computing Operating Environments (MCOE). Previous releases of HP-UX 11i v1 still support PA-RISC 2.0 and older systems. If you have any questions about your particular situation, please contact your local HP Country Response Center.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use If any of these patches appear in standard output, you have the patch installed and need to install the latest version of Update-UX before starting the update process. See “Step 1: Install the update-ux Command (Required Task!)” on page 118 describes the steps required to install the latest version of Update-UX.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use • Is your system’s firmware recent enough to support 64-bit operation? See “Firmware Requirements” on page 51 in Chapter 3. • 64-bit binary data cannot be used by 32-bit applications. 64-bit is useful if you need large address space, such as for use with very large databases and large-scale modeling. 64-bit applications can be compiled and linked on 32-bit systems; however, these applications cannot be run on a 32-bit system.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use If any EISA drivers are on the system, remove them. For example, to remove the TermIO-01 EISA MUX driver, as root enter: /usr/sbin/swremove -x autoreboot=true TermIO-01 The kernel will automatically regenerate and the system will reboot after you remove each driver. After removing all EISA drivers, proceed to update as explained below. If you're updating from HP-UX version 11.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Deciding Which Method to Use Once each partition has been configured for installation, follow the cold-installation instruction on the following pages to install HP-UX on each partition’s boot disk. Instant Ignition For customers ordering new systems with the “Instant Ignition” option (also known as “factory integrated”), the cold-installation process described here has already been performed. Skip this chapter and proceed to install application software.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update 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 Install or Update Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media Important: Problems Reading HP-UX 11i v1 DVD Media During Update The HP-UX 11i v1 DVD media contain large volumes of data that may cause your DVD device to fail while reading the DVD media contents during an update. This particularly affects you if you use Update-UX or other Software Distributor (SD) tools.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media For Systems Currently Running HP-UX 11i v1: • PHKL_26269 (11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660) • PHKL_28025 (11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660) • PHCO_25841 (11.11 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs (1M)) For Systems Currently Running HP-UX 11.0: • PHKL_26450 (11.00 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660) • PHKL_28060 (11.00 Y2k; Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660) • PHCO_26449 (11.
Choosing a Migration Path: Cold Install or Update Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media DVD Media Advantages 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 Install or Update 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: Cold Install or Update 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 Optional Step: Create a Network Depot HP-UX 11i v1 is delivered on three CDs or one DVD. If you are using CDs, you will need to swap CDs during the update process. If you want to update without having to swap CDs, you can either use DVD media or you can create a remote depot on an existing 11i system that contains all the necessary software, then update from that single source.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 NOTE HP-UX 10.20 systems must use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount DVD media; HP-UX 11.0 or HP-UX 11i v1 systems can either install the patches described in “Patching Your System to Read DVD Media” on page 107, or use the pfs_mount command. Step 7.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 Step 1: Install the update-ux Command (Required Task!) Unless you are already running a previous version of 11i, you must install the update-ux command to update to 11i from CDs.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 NOTE HP-UX 10.20 systems must use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount DVD media; HP-UX 11.0 or HP-UX 11i v1 systems can either install the patches described in “Patching Your System to Read DVD Media” on page 107, or use the pfs_mount command. Step 5. Using either ksh, Posix-sh or Bourne shell, install update-ux on the target system; the depot example uses depot_server:/var/depots/my_depot.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 installed, (see “Optional Step: Create a Network Depot” on page 116), you can now proceed to update your target system. Use the following syntax to run update-ux: update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-a 32|64] [-n|-y] [-i] [-x option=value] [sw_spec] NOTE For more information about update-ux syntax, see “update-ux Syntax” on page 202 update-ux Examples Your system configuration and your planning will determine how you use update-ux.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 We Recommend this Update: • “Updating Netscape Directory Server” on page 125 shows you how to update NDS. If you are using NDS version 3.1 (HP J3667AA) and plan to continue using NDS, you should read this example. • “Update Selectable Software” on page 126 shows you how to update your system with selectable software bundles.
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 4-2, “HP-UX 11i v1 Core Software Bundles,” on page 74). 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 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 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.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1 After migrating your directory server database to NDS 6.02, you should remove the old version of NDS using swremove. For example: /usr/sbin/swremove J3667AA Update Selectable Software To update to HP-UX 11i v1 and include additional selectable software, such as Ignite-UX (see Table 4-5, “HP-UX 11i v1 Selectable Software Bundles (all OEs),” on page 79 for a listing of other selectable bundles.

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 201). 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.

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) Optional Step: Configure Jumbo Frame Size (Jumbo Frames only supported at 1000 Mbit/s) Jumbo frames have an mtu_size of 9000 bytes. If using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that all end stations on a given LAN (that is, no routers or layer 3 switches in between) have the same MTU setting. However switch ports in the LAN can have any MTU setting greater than or equal to the end station MTU. 1.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) Alternative way to temporarily configure jumbo frame size: Execute: lanadmin -M mtu_size PPA_number. The PPA number is the one we obtained from the output of lanscan. For jumbo frames set the mtu_size to 9000 (bytes). Note: using lanadmin will not preserve your settings across reboots.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 E Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 Introduction Introduction VxFS 3.5 resorts to caching objects in memory as a way to improve performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set a tunables.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 Controlling the inode Cache Controlling the inode Cache As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help file systems perform better for file/web server loads. The global (static) tunable vx_ninode, represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS inode cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 Controlling the Buffer Cache Controlling the Buffer Cache VxFS 3.5 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but grow and shrink during system usage depending on the load on the file system. The global (static) tunable, vxfs_bc_bufhwm, represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v1 Conclusion Conclusion VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that results in improved file system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the auto-tuned values are not optimal, users are provided with the ability to set these tunables.
