Updating to HP-UX 11i v1

[Brett Moore-Carter]

Hi

I am updating a workstation B180L from HPUX 10.20 to HPUX 11i v1. The software I have is in a cd format and is hp-ux 11i version 1 December 2004. The installation guide (pg 98)has a caution about updating HP-UX 10.20 systems to the HPUX 11i v1 December 2004 OE, as the update-ux command will fail. Which I have experienced. The failure is due to HPUX 10.20 does not support Rockridge extension.

To resove this, first I must update to the desired HP-UX 11iv1 December 2003 OE, which I have as well. And then update to December 2004.

My question is....
1. Do I follow the complete updating procedure for the December 2003 version and then follow the update for the 2004 version? or do I only update a part from december 2003?

Thanks in advance.

Brett

Hi Brett

Suggest to follow complete updating procedure for December 2003, test the environment and then follow the update for December 2004 version

Hi

Why not do 100% fresh/cold install of 11.11. This will save you time.

1 - take Ignite Image of old 10.20 system
2 - If you have mirrored root disk only install on one half
3 - In the event of failure either use the 10.20 disk (fast) or the ignite image
