previous release. Refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available on the Instant
Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX.
• If you do not use Ignite-UX or do not have a current operating system recovery
image:
— If your applications and data are on a separate disk from the OS, cold-install
the previous OS. Doing this ensures a clean OS installation, removing all
previous upgrade and patch information.
— If applications, data, or both are on the same volume with the OS, boot from
the previously-saved system recovery tape to return to a previous OS. These
expert recovery processes are in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
To determine which applications are on the system and where they are located, use
swlist. If you only need to remove applications or patches from the system, use
swremove. Refer to the Software Distributor Administration Guide for details.
