Shalom,

All of the above mentioned servers can run 11.31 OS.

Note, that upgrade-ux is not used much by systems administrators. Better to do a cold install followed by reinstallation of applicaiotn software and data migration.

Before you make your move make sure your applications are fully supported.

Hello,

You may want to run the msv2v3check utility to check your systems, including SAN devices. It is available at:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=MSV2V3Check

There is some documentation about these requirements at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Storage%20Area%20Management
in particular the "HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3 Mass Storage Stack Update Guide".

Regards,

See this list for minimum firmware, but check for latest:

I could advice you to make new install instead of doing upgrade.

Anyway you have to read HPUX11v3 Release Notes.

There are a good script, named: "msv2v3check", prepared to inform you about any possible troubles that can arrise on your current system after upgrade.
/look at "Mass Storage Stack Upgrade Guide"/
