Upgrade Question .

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

i am received recently the HP-UX11iv2-Ent, suport pack and the application media to upgrade my system from 11.11 to 11.23 version.
my question is:
1)what is the benefit of support pack CD in an insulation process, and when i can use it.
2)the upgrade requirement is update the update-ux command, from which cd i can update it.

thanks and best regards

Shalom,

1) Support pack is the after install upgrades to the OS, apps and patches.

2) The upgrade-ux command is run on the core OS DVD.

Advice: DONT DO THE UPGRADE!!!!

update-ux is unreliable, unsupported by applications vendors and should be avoided.

Better to back every bit of data up and do a cold OS install, then the apps, then data conversion if needed.

If supported, consider going to 11.31 because it has a longer end of life date. 11.23 and 11.11 share the same end of life date.
