How to use the HP-UX Portable Image Tool for Integrity fluid cross-technology moves

Post-upgrade procedure for PI
1. Dump the new PI state to a file for possible use later. Obtain the dump by executing the following command:
/opt/network/bin/hpuxpitool –g
This will list out each network instance along with its post-upgrade MAC address.
2. Disable PI by executing the following command:
kctune gio_portable_image=0
You should see the following:
Tunable Value Expression Changes
gio_portable_image (before) 1 1 Immed
(now) 0 0
Or
/opt/network/bin/hpuxpitool -d
3. The networking should be checked to make sure that the original system network instances function correctly. If
the HP-UX boot reports a LAN interface configuration failure, then check the /etc/rc.log file for the failed instance
number, which may indicate something like the following example:
ERROR: lan18 interface: ifconfig: no such interface
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED
Get the MAC address for the failed instance number from the pre-upgrade PI dump and look for that MAC address in
the post-upgrade PI state dump. From that entry, note the new instance number and edit the HP-UX networking
configuration for the failed instance number so that it uses the new instance number.
