Task 2: Installing the Latest Update-UX Bundle

(Required)

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

the update-ux command.

• If you are updating from an HP-UX 11i v1 system, you must have the

June 2004 version of the Update-UX bundle (release string:

B.11.11.0406) 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 (release string:

B.11.23.0409) or higher installed on your system.

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

bundle, enter the following command:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l product Update-UX

The output of the command returns the following data in the revision

string:

• The operating system that the update-ux command is intended to

run on.

• The release date.

For example, the revision string of B.11.23.0409 indicates that

Update-UX was bundled for HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.230409), which is the

September 2004 release.

This procedure walks you through the installation of the latest version of

the Update-UX bundle, which includes the update-ux command, from

the DVD media.
