NAME
update-ux - updates the HP-UX operating system from new HP-UX media
SYNOPSIS
update-ux -s source_location [
-?][-n|-y][
-i][-x option=value][-f software_file][sw_spec]
DESCRIPTION
The
update-ux command updates the HP-UX operating system to a newer version.
Use update-ux when updating the operating system (OS), and installing or changing operating environ-
ments (OEs). update-ux works only with source depots containing the OS and OEs such as HP-UX 11i
OE DVDs. When using other media as source, use
swinstall instead.
update-ux will always attempt to update the OS. The following bundles are always installed from HP-
UX 11i OE DVDs:
HPUXBaseOS
HPUXBaseAux
B9073BA
B8465BA
WBEMP-LAN-00
NPar
Base-VXVM

scsiU320-00
CDE language bundle based on installed CDE.
Other bundles based on the OE version.
Other network drivers based on installed software.
In order to install an Operating Environment, the corresponding OE bundle must be specified on the com-
mand line (see sw_spec, below).
HPUX11i-OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent
HPUX11i-OE-MC
To list all product bundles available on the DVD mounted at /dvd,enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -s /dvd
If you are changing OEs within the same OS version, update-ux will attempt to update the OS. How-
ever, only software that has not yet been installed will be installed. Software already on the target system
will be deselected during the analysis phase.
If the current OS is 11.11 or 11.22 , first install update-ux onto the existing system. For example:
swinstall -s source_location Update-UX
where source_location is the full path to a depot containing the 11i Update-UX product.
Options
update-ux supports these options:
-s source_location Specify the source location. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted
DVD containing an SD depot, or a remote machine and depot combination. All
paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths. If source_location is a
DVD,
update-ux expects to install from one DVD. If source_location is a
remote machine and depot combination, the remote machine should be specified
first, followed by the absolute path to the remote depot, separated by a colon
with no spaces; for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw.
