Updating to HP-UX 11i v2

Chapter 6122

Updating from a Network Depot

To update from a network depot on a remote system named netdepot,

include the path to the depot in the update-ux command. The following

example does an update to the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s

netdepot:/update/update_depot \

HPUX11i-OE-Ent

Updating Using Interactive Software Selection

To interactively select software for an update, use the -i option. For

example:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom -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. Because

update-ux selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by

default, the interactive user interface provides a way to deselect the

default software.

CAUTION Do not combine -i and -x options in the same update-ux command.

IMPORTANT swinstall’s interactive user interface does not provide for selecting

mutually exclusive selectable software bundles. As a result, if you select

more than one Install-Time-Security/Bastille security configuration

bundle from the Security Choices section of the Select Additional

Software screen (for example, Sec20MngDMZ and Sec30DMZ), HP-UX

Bastille applies the highest security configuration selected.

For help using swinstall in interactive mode, refer to the swinstall (1M)

manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.
