Were planning to move some of our servers from 11.11 ro 11.23. Therer are mied views here on a cold install vs aan upgrade with udate-ux.
We have already hit a snag in at we dont have 200 Mb free in root so the initial update-ux test failed.
Does anyone have any comments, stories or recomendations etc on how we should do this? I am in the cold install camp at the minuite.
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: HPUX 11.11 to 11.23
I advise to make an ignite copy, restore it to another test server and then try the upgrade first on the test server.
So you know all the problems you can have when you update your production server.

SolutionOf course the problem is generally there is more work in doing a cold install.
However I would also take an ignite backup prior to doing the work just encase.
alternately if you have a spare system you could install/configure/test and make a golden_image you could use to install from ignite.

Re: HPUX 11.11 to 11.23
In my opinion there is no better choice than a cold-install, particularly when you have a vg00 devoid of anything but the standard logical volumes taht belong to the operating system.
Since you already have a '/' (root) filesystem that is too small you will have to resort to some real trickery to extend it just to be able to do an upgrade.
Cold-install and move forward.
Regards!

Re: HPUX 11.11 to 11.23
I would start with a cold install on your test system, then add your applications and make sure everything still works. Upgrades have an average success rate of less than 10% over the last 10 years. Some of those 90% tasks wasted weeks of time trying to 'fix' an upgrade.
