Patch and Firmware requirements fro HP-UX 11.11

[Mike Keys]

We are to migrate a 9000/800/N4000-55 server with firmware rev. 41.02 to HP-UX 11.11(i). We are currently running HP-UX 11.00.

Is there a document or can someone tell me if I need to upgrade my firmware to rev. 42.06 and apply the latest support plus updates prior to upgrading?

Here's the latest HP-UX 11i Installation and Upgrade Guide. Have browse through it and you should find all you need:

I also would recommend that you do a cold install rather than an upgrade as well.

PDC 41.02 is the minimal requirement for 11.11. So yes it will work.
