Updating to HP-UX 11i v1
How to Update to HP-UX 11i v1
Chapter 6124
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. Any new OE components and products will not be installed:
Updating existing
OE Components
Only
•CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -x
match_target=true HPUX11i-OE.
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -x match_target=true
HPUX11i-OE.
If no argument is specified, then only the OS and its components are
updated. However, HP does not recommend using match_target to
update your system to an OE without also specifying an argument
because:
• If software arguments are not specified, match_target only installs
filesets matching those already on your system. Filesets containing
any new HP-UX 11i v1 functionality introduced will not be selected.
• Software that is installed may not include bundle wrappers, making
identification of software on the system more difficult.
Update Using Interactive Software Selection
To interactively select software for an update, use the -i option. For
example:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -i
update-ux displays swinstall’s interactive user interface with software
already selected to match the default update. Now you can change
software selections. For example, you can select a non-default network
driver or a web browser before performing the update. Since update-ux
selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by default, the
interactive user interface provides a way to de-select the default software
and use a pure match_target instead. Due to the problems explained
above, using a pure match_target is not recommended.
CAUTION Do not combine -i and -x options in the same update-ux command.
