Task 2: Installing the Latest Update-UX Bundle

IMPORTANT Prior to updating your system, you must install a supported version of

the update-ux command.

June 2004 version of the Update-UX bundle or higher installed on

your system.

• If you are updating from an HP-UX 11i v2 system, you must have the

September 2004 version of the Update-UX bundle or higher installed

on your system.

To determine if you have installed a supported version of the Update-UX

Update-UX was bundled for HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23 0409), which is the

September 2004 release.
