The Purpose of this Book
This guide 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 September 2003
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 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
Media booklet for September 2003 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.
