HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.05.02)

Installing, Updating, or Removing vPars and Upgrading Servers with vPars

Updating from vPars A.04.xx to Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars (A.04.xx & A.05.xx) Environment

Chapter 4

# update-ux -s <source_depot> <OE_bundle> <vPars_bundle>

For example, the command line used in this section is

# update-ux -s depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335CC

where

depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD is the source depot

HPUX11i-OE-Ent is the OE bundle

T1335CC is the vPars A.05.xx bundle

Since both the OE and vPars bundle are the parameters for update-ux, both the OE (including the OS

version) and the vPars version are updated in this single step.

NOTE When using the 11.31 binaries for update-ux, there is now a -p (preview) option similar to the

swinstall preview option.

If you are unfamiliar with the Update-UX product or would like information on using or

debugging Update-UX, please read the HP-UX 11.31 or 11.23 Installation and Update Guide.

Also, see the applicable Software Distributor and Ignite-UX documents available at

http://docs.hp.com.

OE Bundle Names for Update-UX

For HP-UX 11i v3, the possible OE bundles are:

HPUX11i-OE Foundation OE

HPUX11i-OE-Ent Enterprise OE

HPUX11i-OE-MC Mission Critical OE

When choosing the OE, you should select the same OE that your virtual partition is running. Use the swlist

command to check which OE you are currently running:

# swlist -l bundle | grep -i OE

HPUX11i-OE-Ent B.11.31 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environment

This shows that you are running an Enterprise OE.

vPars Bundle Names for Update-UX

For vPars, the possible vPars bundles are:

T1335CC vPars A.05.xx bundle

T1335BC vPars A.04.xx bundle

Note that in a mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment, the vPars running A.04.xx must be running

version A.04.02 or later. Therefore, the “Revision” ﬁeld in the depot should be A.04.02 or greater. Using

swlist, we can ﬁnd the revision number for the vPars A.04.xx bundle on the depot.

# swlist -d @ depot1:/release/1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD | grep T1335BC

T1335BC A.04.02.03 HP-UX Virtual Partitions for 11.23
