Updating to HP-UX 11.0 64-bit Version
When you update a system to 11.0 64-bit version, you have the following
choices:
• If you are updating a system running HP-UX 10.20, and it is 64-bit
capable (PA8000 and 64-bit compatible firmware), you can update
directly to the HP-UX 11.0 64-bit version.
• If you are updating a system running HP-UX 10.01 or 10.10, you
must first update to HP-UX 10.20, make the appropriate hardware
and firmware upgrades, and then update to the HP-UX 11.0 64-bit
version.
• If you are upgrading a system running HP-UX 9.04, first upgrade to
HP-UX 10.01, then update to 10.20, make the appropriate hardware
and firmware upgrades, and then update to the HP-UX 11.0 64-bit
version.
