Installing Unlimited User License

[Chris Cothran]

I need to know the process for installing the UUL patch for HP-UX 10.20 on my D370.
I have downloaded the free upgrade file (UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot) and cannot find the procedure for installing it anywhere on the HP web site.
thanks

Hi Chris:

Use 'swinstall' and specify 'UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot' as the source. For instance, if this has been downloaded and placed in the /tmp directory, then the full source depot path is 'tmp/UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot'.

Regards!

It is a depot software.
So Just register it by
swreg -l depot (path of your depot file)

eg.
swreg -l depot /tmp/UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot

swinstall -s /tmp/UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot

Thanks

Just tried it.
you can just do a
swinstall -s

Thanks

swinstall -s /tmp/UnlimUserLic_10.20_800.depot

Works just fine, no reboot necessary.

You should verify installation via:

mawenzi - / # uname -a
HP-UX mawenzi B.11.00 U 9000/800 1518780528 unlimited-user license

Bill,
It had some kernel filesets so it built a new kernel and it asks for a reboot after installation.

James&Bill,
Just now I installed for
a 700/c-3600 workstation and the system got unconfigured.
Just did a
#set_parms initial to bring the system to get accessed.
I don't know what the problem was?

Thanks

I'll try this out on a C right now.

Upgrade from 2 user.

Will get back..
Mmm, kindof doubted whether a reboot was required.. I just did it last week and don't remember a reboot.. I'll check my uptime.. I guess I'm mistake...


Later,
Bill

Well, it's rebooted right now! (Kernel Filesets!)

# uname -a
HP-UX vocalise B.11.00 U 9000/785 2008866044 unlimited-user license
#

My S/W level was at:
QPK1100 B.11.00.56.5 Quality Pack for HP-UX 11
.00, March 2002

UnlimUserLic B.11.00.02 HP-UX Unlimited-User License

If that helps.

I'd check the install logs!
and dmesg o/p for errors.

Later,
Bill
