Veritas 5.0 Installation Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, May 2008

Updating HP-UX and Veritas Products with update-ux
This section describes how to update an HP-UX 11i v2 system to HP-UX 11i v3 with Veritas
VxVM 5.0 and VxFS 5.0 using the update-ux command.
To update the OS, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the contents of the HP-UX 11i v3 OE media to an HP-UX depot by entering the swcopy
-s command:
For example, to copy the contents of a DVD such as /11v3OE_DVD to a depot called
/var/depots/my_hpux_depot, enter the following command:
# swcopy -s /11iv3OE_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
If there are multiple HP-UX 11i v3 DVDs, repeat this step for each of them.
2. Alternatively, you can copy the DVD contents in an interactive mode wherein you mount
the DVD and use the Find Local CD-ROM option in the Specify Source screen by entering
the following command:
# swcopy -i \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
3. Copy the contents of the HP-UX ServiceGuard and StorageManagement Products media
into the depot folder you created by entering the following command:
# swcopy -s /11iv3SG_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
For example, copy the /11iv3SG_DVD into the same HP-UX depot.
If there are multiple ServiceGuard and StorageManagement DVDs, you must repeat this
step for each DVD.
4. If you plan to use this HP-UX depot to update systems other than the system where the
depot resides, you must register the HP-UX depot. The swcopy command automatically
registers the depot when it is first created. However, HP recommends that you register the
depot again such that it is visible to other systems. Enter the following command to register
the HP-UX depot:
# swreg -l depot @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
5. On each system that must be updated to HP–UX 11i v3, enter the following command:
# update-ux -s depot_server:/var/depots/my_hpux_depot \
!B3929EA !Base-VXVM \
B9116CB Base-VxFS-50 Base-VxTools-50 Base-VxVM-50 VxFS-SDK-50
If the HP-UX depot resides on the system that must be updated, you can either omit the
depot_server: portion of this command or you can specify the local hostname. The option
depot_serverindicates the hostname of the system where the my_hpux_depot resides
followed by a ":" (colon).
This command updates the system to HP-UX 11i v3 and VxVM and VxFS 5.0. The !B3929EA
and !Base-VxVM entries on the command line ensure that VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.l are not
installed from the depot during the update.
When you update HP-UX 11i v2 systems that include VxVM 3.5, the following message is
displayed:
