Installing HPUX 10.20

[Dayanand Naik]

Hi,

We are having a HP Visualize C3600 machine and already HP 11.x is installed. Now i want to install 10.20, as for development application we need to downgrade the OS. is there any procedure to downgrade the OS or simply boot it from the Installation CD and install the OS along with the latest patch.

Suggestion welcomed.

Regards,
Dayanand Naik

Hi Naik
there is no way to down grade the OS.better option is cold installation of 10.2

Hello,

Since your case is a new machine, it is always better to do a cold install instead of an upgrade or downgrade in your case. You don't have to worry about losing database data and stuff.

Hi,

If you have an ignite tape prior to installing to HPUX 11 that would be the best way to get the system back to 10.20, if not a cold install is the way to go.

Use Ignite tape is the best and fastest way, otherwise, try to cold install.

Good luck.

Hi,

Reinstall the OS (10.20) from the core os cd. Since you are downgrading from 11.0 to 10.20, don't suppose you have a ignite backup tape. Fresh install should be the way to go.

hope this helps.

thanks

First thing to do is to create a make_recovery of your existing 11i OS, and other backups as necessary. If you have other volume groups, you might be able to export and then import them later, depending upon the current jfs installed - as I'm, not sure of backward compatibility.

Second, you will have to do a cold install unless you have a previous make_recovery tape.
