HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating, March 2010

Updating from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v3 is not
supported
Updating from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported. You must
first update to an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. Alternatively, you
can do a cold-install of HP-UX 11i v3. See the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and
Update Guide (http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs) for information on how to
update from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2. In addition, make sure your
system meets the minimum system and disk space requirements before
updating from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3.
HP-UX Virtual Partitions and HP Integrity Virtual
Machines are incompatible
HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) is not compatible with HP Integrity Virtual
Machines (Integrity VM). The vPars and Integrity VM products cannot be
installed on the same nPartition or the same virtual partition.
Integrity VM cannot be installed on a system that has vPars software
installed. There is a check during Integrity VM installation preventing it.
Procedures for installing VxFS and VxVM are new as
of September 2009
Starting with the September 2009 OEUR, the default-install of VxFS has
changed from 4.1 to 5.0, and VxVM 4.1 has been replaced by VxVM 5.0. This
has important implications for several install scenarios. For information on
how this may impact you, consult Appendix B: “Installing VxFS and VxVM”
of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 or later
(http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).
