See Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX and the swcopy (1M), swinstall (1M) and swremove (1M)

manpages for complete information on all aspects of HP-UX installation.

For information about migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004, see Installation and

Update Guide HP-UX 11i Version 2: HP Integrity Servers, HP Workstations, and HP 9000 Servers (5990-8144).

Migrating a System Without Retaining Cell Conﬁguration

If you are migrating an HP-UX DCE 1.8 server to HP-UX DCE 1.9, but you do not want to preserve your

existing cell conﬁguration, perform the following steps:

1. Stop the cell using dce_config STOP at each cell member or run DCM from SAM to stop the entire cell.

2. Use dce_config REMOVE or run the DCM from SAM to remove the cell databases.

3. Upgrade the system from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2.

4. Install HP-UX DCE 1.9 software as described in Chapter 4, and reconﬁgure DCE.

Migrating a System and Preserving Current Cell Conﬁguration

If you are migrating an HP-UX DCE 1.9 server to HP-UX DCE 1.9, and you want to preserve your existing

cell conﬁguration, perform the following steps:

1. If you are migrating a security server system, stop secd using the dcecp -c registry stop

replica-name

command.

2. Stop DCE on the system, using the dce_config STOP command from the main menu.

CAUTION Hewlett-Packard recommends that you create a single network source area (depot)

containing HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX DCE 1.9 software, so you can simultaneously install

HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX DCE 1.9. If you do not install HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX DCE 1.9

at the same time, your old HP-UX DCE 1.8 servers will be automatically started when your

system reboots after HP-UX 11i v2 installation completes. This is an unsupported

conﬁguration because DCE client, which is part of the core OS has got upgraded, but the

DCE Server has not.

3. Prepare the network source area (depot) using swcopy. The depot should contain both HP-UX 11i v2 and

HP-UX DCE 1.9 software.

4. Upgrade the system from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2. If you installed from a uniﬁed network source

area as recommended above, installation of HP-UX DCE 1.9 is complete.

NOTE If you did not install from a uniﬁed network source area, you must continue with Steps 5

through 7.

5. Stop DCE on the system, using the dce_config STOP command from the main menu.

6. Install HP-UX DCE 1.9 as described in Chapter 4.
