Updating HP-UX 10.20/11.0 to 11i
This section describes updating an existing HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0 system
to HP-UX 11i using the new update-ux command. To help you decide
whether you should update or cold-install, see Chapter 1.
Beginning with the 11i release, the update-ux command replaces
swgettools to perform these OS update tasks:
• Update the HP-UX OS from 10.20 or 11.0 to 11i, including adding a
new Operating Environment (OE).
• Update and existing 11i system to a later release.
• Change the OS word-width from 32-bit to 64-bit on appropriate
systems.
• Change from one OE to another.
The update-ux command improves the usability and robustness of the
update process by eliminating many of the manual steps required by
swgettools in previous HP-UX updates. In addition to ensuring a safe
environment on the target system for the OS update, update-ux performs
these update preparation steps before initiating the update:
• Before updating from HP-UX 10.20, update-ux performs these
operations for you:
— Verifies that FibreChannel Storage is not on the system. If
present, it must be manually removed.
— Ensures that you are not updating a diskless server. You'll have to
cold-install 11i on a diskless server, making it a stand-alone
system.
— Checks for minimal disk space in /, /stand, /opt, /usr and /var
on a system using LVM.
— Removes the no-longer-needed SW-DIST.RUPDATE fileset.
— Removes any 10.x patch information and 10.20 OS bundle
wrappers.
— Upgrades to JFS version 3 if needed.
• Before updating from HP-UX 11.0 or an earlier version of 11i,
