To HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64 4156074294

If its possible your advice would be appreciated.

Yes it is possible. You cab start by reading the doc:

Hi,

it always depends on the model of the system, you can see it by model.
11.23 can be upgraded to 11.31 on the following Itanium machines (let me say on all of Itanium machines):

Hi:

To install the 'msv2v3check' use 'swinstall' like:

# swinstall -s /tmp/MSV2V3Check_B.11.23.0907_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot \*

Manpages come with the utility and will be installed too.

Regards!
