HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

For example, the command line used in this section is:
• # update-ux -s depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent
T1335DC
where
◦ depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD is the source depot
◦ HPUX11i-OE-Ent is the Enterprise OE bundle. The OE bundle name will differ when using
a different HP-UX operating environment, as shown in “OE Bundle Names for Update-UX”
(page 76).
◦ T1335DC is the vPars A.05.xx bundle.
Because both the OE and vPars bundle are the parameters for update-ux, both the OE
(including the OS version) and the vPars version are updated in this single step.
NOTE: When using the 11.31 binaries for update-ux, there is now a -p (preview) option
similar to the swinstall preview option.
If you are unfamiliar with the Update-UX product or would like information on using or debugging
Update-UX, read the HP-UX 11.31 or 11.23 Installation and Update Guide. Also, see the applicable
Software Distributor documents at www.hp.com/go/sd-docs and Ignite-UX documents at
www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs.
OE Bundle Names for Update-UX
For HP-UX 11i v3, the possible OE bundles are listed below.
HPUX11i-OE Foundation OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent Enterprise OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC Mission Critical OE
When choosing the OE, you should select the same OE that your virtual partition is running. Use
the swlist command to check which OE you are currently running:
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent B.11.31 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environment
This shows that you are running an Enterprise OE.
The Update Process: Goal
In the example below, we begin with three virtual partitions, all running vPars A.04.01:
• the first partition keira1 running vPars A.04.01 (on 11.23)
• the second partition keira2 running vPars A.04.01 (on 11.23)
• the third partition keira3 running vPars A.04.01 (on 11.23)
The first virtual partition is defined as the virtual partition that owns the boot disk from which the
vPars Monitor was booted; you can use the vparstatus -m and vparstatus -v commands
to determine which virtual partition this is. It is not necessary that the vPar containing the vPars
Monitor (vpmon) must be booted first.
We wish to update to the following:
• keira1 running A.05.01 (on 11.31)
• keira2 running A.05.01 (on 11.31)
• keira3 running A.05.01 (on 11.31)
The Update Process
To update vPars from A.04.xx to A.05.xx, follow the process below. The following steps should
be done from the console:
