I Think you have to install the new version, refer the following thread too for more details on the same:

The "right" way is to install a new OnlineJFS Bundle B3929CA e.g. B.11.11.03.03 HP OnLineJFS. But if your patchlevel is too low this may require a reboot.
The "quick alternative" is to copy the file /etc/vx/elm/50.lic from a working machine to that host and do the update later.

My 2 cents,
Armin
