HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles
or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software
contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment.
If you deselect recommended software during the update, the old version of the software
you deselected will remain on your system. The old version may or may not be
compatible with the newly updated HP-UX 11i v3 operating system. In addition,
software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products
with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning correctly.
1. Use the spacebar to select or deselect software from the list.
The flag M (Match) appears when software has been matched to software currently
installed on your system. The flag P(Partial) may appear if you select only a
component of a software object or if such components are automatically selected
due to dependencies.
The software products in each category have an associated flag that is displayed
in the left-hand column and are described below:
• S is selected by the user.
• ! is unselected by the user
• D is a dependency
• A is automatically selected
• P is partially selected
• M is selected because it matches software installed on your system
• E an error has occurred when selecting this item
• . has no status; is not selected or installed
• N is newer than the software on the system
• O is older than the software on the system
• I is currently installed on the system.
2. After selecting the software you wish to install, type p (preview) to preview the
actions that will occur for the update without modifying the system.
The output window appears and begins displaying messages beginning with:
Analyzing software to be installed.
Step 5: Analysis (Preview)
In this step, the update-ux TUI analyzes the software you have selected.
The Analysis window displays status information about the analysis process. If the
preview shows problems these will be displayed in the Analysis window.
When the analysis is complete press Enter to return to the Software Selection tab and
start the actual update process (see “Step 6: Update” (page 90)).
