Good morning!!

I'm not sure I understand the question. The rp4440 should be upgradable to HP-UX 11i ver 3, (11.31.)

Hope that helps

Re: Upgrade the HP-UX server

The rp4440 is supported with and can run hp-ux 11.11, 11.23 and 11.31.
It just depends on your needs.

What exactly do you want to "install online"?

Patches???

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Upgrade the HP-UX server

If your meaning upgrade 11.11 to 11.23, then you might wish to begin by downloading and reading: http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-1978/ch06s04.html

..you might look at upgrading Data Protector to version 6 too...

Re: Upgrade the HP-UX server

Changing OS releases is more than a patch. You can find out about 11iv2 (11.23) and 11iv3 (11.31) at http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/cache/324545-0-0-0-121.html

Once you get media, you have a choice of starting fresh with a cold-install or keeping your customization using update. Update from 11.11 to 11.31 is not directly supported, so keep that in mind.

Either way, you will want to create a recovery image so that you can try again if something goes wrong. These can be made using Ignite-UX:

Re: Upgrade the HP-UX server

Shalom,

To get to the Latest stable version of 11.11 HP-UX.

Download the latest bi-annual QPK,Gold Pack and install it.

That will give you the latest fixes and enhancements without needing to re-install all your applications.

Re: Upgrade the HP-UX server

Hi,
1. in your current os (11.11)install the update-ux patch from the 11.23 media
2. then update the 11.23 os thro the update-ux command
3. same way you have to update the patch from 11.31 and update the 11.31 os.

from 11.11 you have to update 11.23 and then 11.31....
