The Purpose of this Book
This book describes migrating HP Servers and Workstations to the latest
release of HP-UX 11i v1. This new version of HP-UX delivers hardware
enablement, software functionality, and bundles of important HP-UX
applications in operating environments. HP-UX 11i v1 Operating
Environments (OEs) are described in the HP-UX 11i 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.
HP-UX 11i v1 is the recommended next-level enterprise release for all
HP-UX systems currently running HP-UX 10.x and HP-UX 11.0.
This manual deals only with the software steps required to install or
update your HP-UX operating system. For hardware upgrades, either see
the documentation included with your hardware or consult your HP
Support Engineer.
IMPORTANT Be sure to review this entire guide and the “Known Problems”
information in the Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i v1
Media booklet for June 2004 before proceeding to install or update your
system. Carefully review Appendix B, Known Problems and
Troubleshooting, for situations that may apply to your system.
If you have just received a system that was ordered with “Instant
Ignition,” the HP-UX 11i v1 Operating Environment has already been
installed. You do not need to re-install it.
