proper way to upgrade ignite/ux on ignite server

[ikeleong]

hello;

I have an hpux on 11.23 used as our ignite server on version C.7.4.157

Our HP ASC is recommending we upgrade to version C.7.6.100

Is there an HP document stating what specific files that need to get backed up on our ignite server before we upgrade to the newer version.

Just as a test I duplicated my ignite server configs (like file /var/opt/ignite/INDEX, etc) onto my hpux test server. On this test server I upgraded to the newer version and it overwrote the original /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file.

any unofficial or official pre upgrade procedures would be appreciated

The solution is to first 'swremove' the existing Ignite bundle(s) and then 'swinstall'.

To find *all* Ignite bundles do:

# swlist|grep -i ignite

and then swremove them.

The following FAQ docs might of help

A search on this forum will return many solutions to the same question.

Remove old version, install new version.
