Locate Source Media for Migration

Locate Source Media for Migration
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and
you have decided how to migrate to HP-UX 11i v1 (cold-install or
update), you need to locate the source media needed for the migration:
• If you are migrating one system at a time — Migrate directly
from the CDs or DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v1 media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v1 OE media (2 CDs, 1 DVD) — Boot and install a
new system or update an existing HP-UX 10.20, 11.0, or 11i
system.
— Support Plus CD — Install current HP-UX 11i v1 patch
bundles to fix defects in the OS and OE applications.
— HP-UX Application media (multiple CDs, 1 DVD) — Install
applications not installed with the OE or install a newer version
of an OE application. Some applications installed with an HP-UX
11i v1 OE may be older versions than those available on the
HP-UX Applications CDs/DVD supplied in the media kit.
Products available on Application CDs/DVD are listed in the
CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each CD or DVD.
• If you plan to migrate many systems in your enterprise — We
recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a “golden image”
from which to migrate. This install image can contain the HP-UX 11i
v1 OS, and OE, other applications and any needed patches. Once the
archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another
system, migration on each client system is a single-pass operation;
you will only need to reboot each client once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, see the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide, supplied on the HP-UX Instant Information
CD and on this web site:

to determine your next steps.
