Re: The Steps for upgrade oprating system

Hello,

There is no upgrade path from HP-UX 11.11
to 11.31 directly.

You have two options:

a) Upgrade or install HP-UX 11.23 firstly.
Then, upgrade from 11.23 to 11.31.

To help you assess migration from HP-UX 11.23
to 11.31, there is a nice tool MSV2V3CHECK
(Mass Storage Check Utility). It is free at:

http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot/

or

b) Run a clean install of HP-UX 11.31
(in other words, wipe out your old
11.11 firstly).

As far as benefits of HP-UX 11.31,
there are many. Check, for example:

Re: The Steps for upgrade oprating system

You have to use `update-ux` for that. The manpage should have more information. Do not forget to read the "read before install" guide that comes with 11.23 before venturing with the upgrade. As suggested on the other reply, run "msv2v3check" on 11.23 and follow the recommendations before upgrading to 11.31.

One cannot directly upgrade from 11.11 to 11.31 using update-ux, but you can cold install 11.31 on your system.

Re: The Steps for upgrade oprating system

Hi,

What is your Oracle version?
I doubt, there is one which spreads over more than one major release of an OS version - practically.
You would need one Oracle version for three OS versions ...
I would spare my time and not try it but install a supported version of Oracle after a cold install of 11iv3.

Re: The Steps for upgrade oprating system

Hi
I own a copy of the Master 9i
But the question is, do I need modernization work load of old programs(all oracle program), as well as the survey data for databases
Finally, how the updating process takes time

Hi,

even Oracle9i-v2 is/was only certified for 11.0 and 11iv1.
