Unable to upgrade HPUX from 11.11 to 11.23 PI OS

[hpinvent_1]

I'm trying to upgrade the 11.11 HPUX L Class Server to the latest 11.23 PA/IA OS. I'm getting the following errors.

# update-ux -s /SD_CDROM HPUX11i-OE

It would be wonderful if any of you could send me the official upgrade steps for HPUX 11.11 to 11.23 PI OS.

Hopefully you began with the process with a make_tape_recovery tape.

Most experienced administrators (such as myself..??!!??) would recommend a cold install versus an upgrade.

The chances of failure with upgrade increases with the complexity of your system. Your process seems to have stopped way before application complexity became a factor.

I had got the same Error.

I believe you have update-ux of 11.11, install the Update-UX product of 11.23PI OS and then give it a try.

It has worked for me .

For my two cents, make_tape_recovery,

Then do a cold install. I was unable to get a successful upgrade.

Here are my 2 cents.

1 - Run a sysinfo
2 - Run a make_tape_recovery
3 - Do a cold install it's cleaner and less bloated.
