update-ux failed

[Aungshuman Paul]

HI,

Can anyone help regarding the following issue :

My current OS version : # swlist -l bundle | grep OE
HPUX11i-OE B.11.23.0712 HP-UX Foundation Operating Environment Component
HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.23.0712 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment Component
#

I want to upgrade it to HPUX11i-BOE.

My update-ux failed with following error :

Looks like you want to go backwards, from 11.23 to 11.11? (Or did it forget to repeat B.11.23?)
And from MCOE to BOE, which is also backwards.

Actually I have some confusion from the output swlist -l bundle | grep OE.

Which operating environment currently the system has foundation OE or MC-OE ?


And I want to upgrate it to 11iv3 BOE.

Any suggestion?

I assume you have MC-OE, the one with the most features.

>And I want to upgrade it to 11iv3 BOE.

Perhaps it thinks that it is not allowed to remove features?

So is there any way to remove MOE and use only FOE. then try to upgrade it to 11i v3 BOE.


Wait for your valuable feedback.
