RETURN VALUES
The update-ux command returns a value when it is not successful:
1 Error during execution; update aborted.
2 Update aborted per user request (-n option) or from keyboard.
DIAGNOSTICS
Standard Output:
An update-ux session writes messages for significant events, including:
• Begin- and end-session messages.
• Major task messages.
Logging:
Errors are recorded in: /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
.
EXAMPLES
To update from the OS depot on an HP-UX 11i OE CD-ROM mounted at
/cdrom,enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE
That example updates the OS and installs the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE). You will be
prompted to replace OE CD1 with CD2.
To update the OS from /cdrom, but not install an OE and ignore any error messages, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -y
To update the OS and also update any software on the target system with new versions found in the source
depot at /cdrom,enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -x match_target=true -a 64
That example also ensures that the 64-bit OS is installed on a target system that can run either 32- or 64-
bit OS.
