Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Chapter 6 119
IMPORTANT Upgrading to a higher level OE is supported only if you are updating
from a lower level HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. You cannot
update, for example, from an HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to HP-UX
11i v2 Enterprise OE.
You cannot downgrade from a higher level OE to a lower level OE.
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 /cdrom -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.
