3. Select the software source host and depot.

Actions menu.

6. After the analysis phase finishes, select OK to continue with the
cluster install process.
For screen details see the non-clustered installation in the next section.
Installing or updating an operating system or kernel software to a
shared root shuts down any clients booted from that server and reboots
the server. If you are installing non-kernel applications to a shared root,
the clients will not be shut down and the server will not be re-booted.
When the server has rebooted and finished the startup process, turn on
the diskless clients. They will boot and configure the software.
Note that, on a Series 800 server-cluster, this process will only update the
(Series 700) clients.
Time Note If you are updating a large cluster, this process could take several hours.
NOTE Updating a diskless cluster server from HP-UX 10.01 to 10.20 may result
in the following messages appearing in the swagent.log file (located in
/export/shared_roots/OS_700/var/adm/sw). These warnings may
be safely ignored.
