Updating Tips
To identify what software still needs updating after the OS update, print
an swlist listing of all products and bundles beforehand. For example,
enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist | lp
Then compare it with a similar swlist done after the update.
Your update could fail if the HP-UX kernel fails in the starting
environment. To ensure that you have a reliable starting point, rebuild
the kernel before you update:
/usr/sbin/mk_kernel
To prevent the CDE screen lock function from locking the keyboard
during an update, disable the function now:
Click the style manager icon on the front panel.
Click the
icon.
Screen
Select:
:
Screen Lock
Also, do not lock the system using the front panel lock icon.
To make it easier to check for problems encountered during an update,
rename the log files before starting an update:
mv swagent.log swagent_old.log
If you wish to view the update process in detail, open another term
window (drag it aside so you can also watch for any messages on the
window running update-ux) and use the tail command to view swinstall
messages being logged:
tail -t /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
