Updating from 11.0 to 11i using update-ux

[Doug Short]

I've been trying to update a RP5470 from 11.0 to 11i using December 2004 media and the OE version of 11i. I install the update-ux package off of the CD. I then run 'update-ux -s /cdrom' and let ir run through its' processes. It always fails on the same spot, and I cannot seem to find a way. This is the snippet from the swagent.log :

ERROR: File "/cdrom/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO": No such file or
directory (2). Cannot copy it to file
"/var/tmp/BAAa15491/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO".
ERROR: File "/var/tmp/BAAa15491/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO" does not
exist.
ERROR: The catalog files for product "SOE,r=B.11.11" failed to load.
Check the above output for details.
ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous errors
are corrected.

The file that it is complaining about is in the same path and case as what it thinks it wants, and can be viewed by catting it out. If anyone has any fix for this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Doug,

I plan to use the same method to update my 11.0 systems. In 11i installation & update guide, it mentions patches that need to be in place. I was wondering if you had the following patches;
PHKL_26450
PHKL_28060
PHCO_26449

I really recommend you to read this document:

Especially the requirements part for the update.

Another thing Doug,

What is your firmware version? Going by your system, it looks like you should be at a minimum of version 41.36.

To check your firmware version you can get this thru going into xstm and select a CPU and run information on it. You will see your firmware version there.

Also, my firmware is 43.43 so I should be fine there.

Even with the above patches, I still get the error that it cannot find the file. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
