Hi,

Re: Can I update 11.11 December 2003 to 11.31 March 2009 using update-ux.

So your server is supported to run 11.31.

But you must be on 11.23 to use update-ux, see

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5795/ch03s02.html#d0e2742

Consider to do a cold-install.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Thanks Torsten for your help.


I have got the answer now.
I need to upgrade 11.11 to 11.23 and then 11.23 to 11.31 if i want to upgrade from 11.11 to 11.31.

Quite a long process but I need to perform these steps if I want to update the OS. :)


Thanks again.

You can cold install directly.
