Updating HP-UX

Updating HP-UX Software

Adding Additional Functionality

In case you need to add more bundles for the new functionality of HP-UX

10.20, such as JFS or NFSD ﬁlesets, use the "Match What Target Has"

option described in this chapter, and then select additional bundles

which you have purchased.

If you need further details, see the manual Managing HP-UX Software

with SD-UX.

Networking Products on Additional Media

If you are using certain networking products or other Independent

Software Units (ISUs) which are not present on the core HP-UX CD, then

you may need to follow modiﬁed update procedures. Some of the

networking products affected include FDDI, Token-Ring and 100VG

AnyLan, which are provided on the HP Applications CD-ROM.

Since optional networking products are shipped on separate media from

the CORE HP-UX, their drivers are removed from the kernel during the

update process. This means that if you update using theCORE medium or

a depot made from it, the optional networking will not be available after

reboot.

If the networking which was removed provides access to the remote SD

depot or cd-rom drive, then, after reboot, any swinstall of applications,

including networking will need to be performed from a local CD-ROM

drive.

An alternative is to use swcopy to create a combined CORE and

Applications depot and use that depot as your swinstall source.

Since a combined depot contains the new revisions of the networking

products, their drivers will be reinstalled before reboot and so the

networking they provide will be available after reboot.

If you have a custom update tape provided as part of you HP software

support contract, then it is normally already combined and you do not

need to create a combined depot, as long as the update tape, or any depot

made from it, contains the HP-UX CORE software and the optional

networking software which you need.
