upgrading to 11.11
I did the upgrade to 11.11i on HP 9000/T600 system and the installation went fine, but when it reboots. It starts booting with the new kernel and just sits there. No error messages. We're at 3 hrs and counting. Should I just go for a cold install? What?!! Help!!

Re: upgrading to 11.11
A cold install is more reliable.
I tell the same story every time I see an upgrade post. I went to class in 2002 tried the upgrade and it failed. I stayed after and tried it on two identical D220 machines. I was careful, one worked, one failed.
At that point I decided it wasn't worth it. The more complex your system the easier it is for things to go wrong.
My recommendations:
1) Back up andy data
2) Cold install
3) install applications, get them working get it into production.

Re: upgrading to 11.11
I would recommend making sure that firmware is at a level needed for 11i, and that the first block of RAM is large enough. I don't know specifics about 11i on the T600, but in the past, some OS releases needed a certain amount of RAM in the first block, big enough for the initial program load. If those are fine then you still have to have enough room for the upgrade to happen on the disk (1.2GB minimum for OE, 18GB recommended) and enough RAM (512MB minimum, 2GB recommended). My thought was that if you get a new disk (or one side of the mirror if you have mirrored root and swap) for the cold install, you can preserve your old root disk for a quick fail back, have an easy install process to set proper sizes for the new lvols, and later mount the old root volume to copy over whatever you need.
