Chapter 2 49
Updating an Existing Operating System and Software
Updating HP-UX Software
Updating Non-Interactively from Media or
Network
For a generic, single-media update where no "customizing" is required,
you will be using the swinstall tool non-interactively. You can use a
general instruction to "match what the target has" in order to load the
updated versions of the same filesets as you have on your current
system.
1. If you are using an external CD-ROM, ensure that the drive is turned
onand mounted. Insert the medium in the drive.
2. At a shell prompt, enter the following:
swinstall -x match_target=true \
-x os_name=HP-UX:32 \ Needed for OS upsdate to 11.0
-x os_release=B.11.00 \ Needed for OS upsdate to 11.0
-x autoreboot=true \
-s device_file
Enter
If you do not use match_target=true you can specify the bundle
names after the -s device_file option, as, for example, HPUXEng32RT.
Specify the device_file for your CD-ROM drive, or network source. For
example
/SD_CDROM/c1t2d0
or similar, for a CD-ROM
OR
hostname:/depot_path
for network sources
You will see warning messages in case filesets are found on the target
system that are not on the source.
• In the example, you would change HP-UX:32 to HP-UX:64, if you are
installing 64-bit.
• For 32 --> 64 bit and 64 --> 32 bit transitions, do the following:
• First update the SD-UX tools using swgettools. See “Updating
SD-UX Before Installing/Updating Software”.
• Use swinstall as in the example, except that you would also use
the following options:
