Update-UX problem

I was updating HP-UX 11.11 -> HP-UX 11.23 MC-OE and when I changed DVD 2 in to dvd slot I got in to problems.
The analyze phase noticed that I'm running out of disk space on /opt. Instruction was to solve the problem and resume upgrade with 'update-ux -second_depot' -command and not to boot the system.
I did that and managed to free up more disk space to /opt, but when I gave 'update-ux -second_depot' I got this error: "The -second_depot argument is only allowed if the source depot is a cdrom."
I was not able to resume the upgrade and was forced to start the upgrade from beginning.
Is there a way to resume the upgrade process?

Hi Timo,
Please refer the man page of update-ux

"By default, update-ux pauses when an error is detected to ask if it should continue. Specify "no" (-n) or "yes" (-y) to tell update-ux whether to continue when a error message is issued. Use -n (or omit this option) at first to have update-ux abort when an error is encountered. Then review the error logged in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log. When you have reviewed/resolved the errors, use -y to have update-ux ignore any remaining errors."
Regards,
Davis Paul.
