Installing HP OTS/9000

Installing HP OTS/9000 Software

Continue with the upgrade. If, after upgrading your networking

products, you still receive a startup failure for networking, use the

lanscan command to verify the conﬁguration in SAM and view the

/etc/rc.log ﬁle for any failure statements.

Also note the following:

• Upgrade to HP-UX operating system version 10.01 and then to the

latest version of HP-UX ONLY when compatible networking products

are available. Upgrading the operating system without compatible

networking products will cause the loss of network functionality. To

recover that functionality, upgrade the appropriate networking

products.

• Upgrade the HP-UX operating system before installing any new

networking products.

• Upgrade your existing networking products at the same time you

upgrade the HP-UX operating system.

• Upgrade the link products (for example, HP LAN/9000 or HP

FDDI/9000) before upgrading HP OTS/9000.

• DO NOT move or reposition any network adapter cards before or

during the upgrade process.

• Stop all applications running over the network before starting the

upgrade process.

• Note that device interface names may change to reﬂect your upgraded

system.

• If problems arise during the upgrade process, check the following ﬁles:

/etc/rc.log, /var/adm/sw/snoop.log,

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log.

Upgrade to HP-UX 10.01 Required

You cannot upgrade your system from HP-UX 9.x to the latest version

directly; you must ﬁrst upgrade to HP-UX 10.01 and then to the latest

version. At a high level, the process is:

1. Upgrade HP-UX 9.x to 10.01. Also upgrade applications to 10.01; this

includes upgrading OTS C.04.xx to C.05.02. Refer to “Upgrade from

HP-UX 9.x to 10.01” in this document.
