using update-ux to migrate from 11.0 to 11i

[ernest tamura]

I am going to upgrade the os on k370 servers and visualize 3000 workstations from 11.0 to 11i. Is migration using update-ux the way to go or is it better to do a cold install. We did a cold install going from 10.20 to 11.0 because the consense was the migration had problems.

I have done several upgrades from 11.0 to 11.11
and all worked without a single problem. The main caveat is that you have enough space in /stand and /. I always oversize these for just this reason. If you installed 11.0 with the default sizes then you are probably going to fail.

Hi,

To echo Clay's comments, / and /stand need to be big enough to do the upgrade. If they are not the upgrade will fail. I've had first experience with this very problem.
