17. Verify the correct vPars Monitor has been booted.
18. Restart gWLM if needed.
Following the mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars update, perform any application updates as needed.
Update-UX Primer
The advantages of using Update-UX are 1) you can update both OE and vPars versions
simultaneously, so there are fewer reboots, and 2) although you must still reboot the nPartition,
you can perform these steps within a vPars environment; you do not need to boot the system into
standalone mode.
CAUTION:
Using Update-UX
Update-UX allows for both the OE and vPars bundles to be updated in the same session. To
simultaneously update both the OE and vPars bundles in the same session, they both must be in
the same source depot.
If you update from a depot which does not contain the vPars bundle, your disk will no longer boot
in vPars mode. See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide and Using Golden Images with Virtual
Partitions for information on how to setup your Ignite-UX server.
NOTE: Before using the update-ux command, make sure you have the latest Update-UX bundle
installed for each virtual partition:
# swinstall -s source_depot Update-UX
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with the Update-UX product or would like information on using or
debugging Update-UX, read the HP-UX 11.11 or 11.23 Installation and Update Guide. Also, see
the applicable Software Distributor documents at www.hp.com/go/sd-docs and Ignite-UX documents
at www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs.
After the latest Update-UX bundle has been installed, you can use the update-ux command, the
syntax is:
# update-ux -s source_depot OE_bundle vPars_bundle other_bundles
For example, the command line used in this section is:
# update-ux -s depot1:/release/1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335BC
where:
• depot1:/release/1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD is the source depot
• HPUX11i-OE-Ent is the OE bundle
• T1335BC is the vPars A.04.xx bundle
Because both the OE and vPars bundle are the parameters for update-ux, both the OE (including
the OS version) and the vPars version are updated in this single step.
