Post-Update Tasks
After updating to HP-UX 11i v2, you might need to perform these
additional tasks to make your system fully functional:
1. “Task 1: Configuring OE Applications” on page 122.
2. “Task 2: Creating an HP Service Partition (Itanium-based Systems
Only)” on page 123.
Task 1: Configuring OE Applications
After updating to an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment (OE), some
OE products need post-installation configuration to make them
functional. This may be indicated by a message logged in
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log.
Refer to each product’s installation instructions for details. The location
of OE product documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v2 Release
Notes, available on the Instant Information DVD and at the HP
Technical Documentation Web site:
