Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed)
To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating
Environment, you need to specify the OE bundle name in the update-ux
command. The OE bundle names are:
HPUX11i-OE HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE
HPUX11i-MTOE HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical OE
HPUX11i-TCOE HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE
For example, to update to HP-UX 11i v2 and install the HP-UX 11i v2
Foundation OE, insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD in the local drive mounted
at /dvdrom. As root, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE
Alternately, if you want to update to HP-UX 11i v2 and install the
Enterprise OE (from a supported update path), enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent
NOTE Make sure to read “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on
page 47 to ensure that you are updating your system from a supported
update path.
NOTE Make sure that you install all of the selectable OE bundles that you want
at the same time that you do your update. See “Updating Selectable
Software” on page 120 for more information.
For details on what is included in each of the Operating Environments,
see Appendix D, “Software Distribution Media,” on page 173.
