First, make sure your hardware is supported on 11.23! After that follow the documentation found at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html#Installing%20and%20Updating

I would advise you to not upgrade, but rather do a cold install of the version you are going to.

As for how, have a read through the manual. Your question is so open-ended that it is nearly impossible to answer otherwise.

Here is the section of manuals for installing / updating HP-UX 11iv2 (11.23):

http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html#Installing%20and%20Updating

You should read these manuals in the order listed:

1) HP-UX 11i v2 Read Before Installing or Updating, September 2006

2) HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide, September 2006

If you happen to want to boot from a disk/LUN on a SAN read this one as well:

HP-UX Boot Over SAN

All are available from the link I gave above.

Dinesh,

You have to use update_ux from the cd.
check for the details here:

Hello Dineshkumar.

I would suggest not to do an upgrade a lot of things can go wrong.

Do a fbackup of all the important files, and do a cold install.

and then restore all your files.

also do an ignite backup just to be on the safe side

Thanks for all the suggestions
