Upgrade HP 10.20 to 11.00 on Token-Ring

[Roman Dijanosic]

We have EISA Token-Ring on D380 server
currently with HP-UX 10.20. Token
ring is our primary network protocol so we have
J2165B product installed to support this. However
I have now the problem to upgrade this to HP 11.00.

After first unsuccessful upgrade I realized that I
need first to create customized Core-Application SD
depo. So I put there all packages from CORE 11.00 CD and J2165B bundle from APPLICATION CD
and start the upgrade. However in phase (approx. 20 % of upgrade ) of building new kernel I got the
following errors:

ERROR: The command "/usr/sbin/mk_kernel", which is used to rebuild
the kernel, has failed. Because kernel-related filesets were
installed, this command must be executed by "swinstall",
without failures, before the load can continue. Check the
above output for details about the failure.
NOTE: The Install Phase has suspended. Check the above output for

I abort upgrade and install all the product J2165B (because from output I saw that only 1 fileset was
installed to the point of building kernel, although I
marked whole bundle 2165B) and the again started
installation of bundle HPUXEng32RT. It went to 100% installed filesets. The when I manualy try to build 11.00 kernel I got only this error:

Compiling conf.c...
Loading the kernel...
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
get_nmid (code)
get_ifNumber (code)
*** Error exit code 1


It is not clear to me why this is happening. Obviously get_nmid() are network functions
and they should be well defined in libraries. I don't
think that patch PHNE_17942 8or later one) would
help because error says that symbol is not defined.
PHNE_17942 only repairs wrong behaviour of this
function.

Has anyone have an idea what to do in order
to upgrade to 11.00 on TokenRing. Has anyone
do that in practise? If anyone did this upgrade
in real I would very like to speak to him about
his experiences.

Hope someone could help me, otherwise I will
be forced to stuck on 10.20 (which will be for us
very unpleasent situation).
