Upgrade From 11.00 to 11i problem

Clint Gibler — Fri, 17 Sep 2004 15:50:11 GMT

I am new to the Unix world and I am trying to upgrade an old server as a test before we upgrade our production servers, when I start the upgrade to 11i v1 it goes for a little while and then fails and this is the error I see in the swagentd.log

NOTE: The fileset "SW-GETTOOLS.SD-SUPPORT,r=B.11.11.0406" is already
installed. If you wish to reinstall this fileset, change the
"reinstall" option to "true".

ERROR: The catalog files for product "SOE,r=B.11.11" failed to load.

ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous errors

(pid=8837)

I have gotten 3 times in a row now. I even tried interactive install and it the same thing, I am doing the upgrade from the June 04 CD and can't find anything helpful on the site.
There isn't anything in the /var/tmp directory with that name and cold install isn't an option for us.

Add "-x reinstall=true" to your swinstall command line and try again.

Nope that didn't do it same error. Here is what I see on the main screen not the log file.

ERROR: The command: '/usr/sbin/swinstall -p -C

follows:

Are you following update instructions from a manual?

Here's a link to the latest set of instructions:

Yes I have the manual from june 2004 that came with the disks for installing and can't find anything I missed or anything helpful this happens about 10 minutes into the update.

Can you post the update-ux command that you used, and other swinstall cmds used?

Clint Gibler — Fri, 17 Sep 2004 18:08:46 GMT

I used the ones right out of the book, the update command

update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent

the only swinstall command was the one to install update-ux

swinstall -r -s /cdrom Update-UX \
\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null

I also tried this and the -i option and I always get to same point and fail.
update-ux -s /cdrom -x reinstall=true HPUX11i-OE-Ent

Even though you are using different dated media, the error is the same and was addressed by the RockRidge patches.

The system is still at 11.00, so apply the patches and try the upgrade again.
