Re: upgrading from 11 to 11i
Theoretically you may upgrade your machine, but as far as I know, the process is not always successful.
I'd recommend you to build the OS from a scratch. I don't know where the software and data are located, but usually they should be somewhere not on the system disk. In this case the process is easy. Please copy all configuration files: /etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts.equiv etc to a place with fast access. After full backup of the system (make_recovery) and the data (all methods are good: Omniback, Legato, fbackup, tar etc) the new OS should be installed. After that data disks should be included with vgimport. May be, some SW should be reinstalled, especially if it was installed by swinstall.
If the data and applications there are on the system disk, but can be easily restored from a backup, the process is almost the same.
Only if your applications are a part of the OS, you'll have to go to upgrade.

Re: upgrading from 11 to 11i
if you are playing to do an upgrade you need to stop all appliaction from running ,
you can leave all the data that you have , maybe you will need also to upgrade some software that you have install on the system but the process of upgrading doent need to have any problem , all you LVM def. will be kept and also all your network def. all also will be kept .
but keep in maine that it will take you more time to do the process of the upgrade (3 hour instend of 1 hours fresh install ) .
also before doing the upgrade , do make_tape-recovery if your upgrade will failed .

Re: upgrading from 11 to 11i
Is your boot disk mirrored ?
If it is mirrored break the mirror and do a cold install of 11i on one of the disks.
How about ur apps/db , are they part of vg00 or different ?
If they are part of VG00, you have to consider the compatibility with 11i and better to separate from VG00.
My apps/DB are in separate VGs.
We did the upgrade(cold install) & followed the below process:
1.Break OS mirror disks(if you have already mirrored the OS disks).
2.make_tape_recovery of vg00.
3.O/S config file backup(hosts;passwd;group;netconf;fstab;lvmtab;lvmconf;.rhosts;bdf output;lvlnboot output;vgdisplay output etc)
4.cold install hp-ux 11i; applied gold pack; installed additional software from application CDs.
5.restored OS backed up config fles from step 3.
6.changed kernel parameters (system_prep/mk_kernel etc)
7.make_tape_recovery (x2)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: upgrading from 11 to 11i
I upgraded a 32-bit b180 to 11.11 about a year ago without any problems. It had some optional products and bundles on it, so I made certain that I reviewed the swlist output BEFORE doing the upgrade, and then read the doc for those products as well as the OS Upgrade docs. Also check to make certain you have the CD's for those products as required. If you have any codeword-protected products, be CERTAIN you obtain the codewords before the upgrade.
Good luck,
