Choosing a Migration Path 2 Choosing a Migration Path This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you decide the most appropriate method to move your system to HP-UX 11i. What You Will Find in This Chapter: • “Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases” on page 26 details the supported paths based on your current version of HP-UX 11i.
Choosing a Migration Path Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases You can cold-install HP-UX 11i and its accompanying operating environment on any supported system listed in Table 3-1, “Supported Systems,” on page 44, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update an existing HP-UX OS to the March 2003 version of HP-UX 11i, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0.
Choosing a Migration Path On Mission Critical OE Support? On Mission Critical OE Support? If your system is on HP Mission Critical Support, discuss the proper method of installing and patching the Mission Critical OE with your HP Customer Engineer.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Deciding Which Method to Use Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any additional needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install HP-UX 11i on your system or update it.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Cold Install When... We recommend using Ignite-UX to cold-install HP-UX 11i in the following situations: • You are managing several systems with similar OS configurations. • You need fast, predictable deployment. • Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See “Planning Your Disk Space Needs” on page 76. • Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from user, application and data files.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Update When... You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i when you are updating from HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0 as well as the following: NOTE • You are only updating a few (1-3) systems to HP-UX 11i. • You are concerned about recovering unique applications and data on your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files when installing HP-UX 11i. • Each system has a unique configuration.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Many of the HP-UX 11i firmware patches rely on HP-UX 11i tools and system calls. The cold-install or update process uses a subset of existing commands and system calls. The firmware installation fails because of system call differences between the HP-UX 11i operating system and the install session version.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Installing or Updating Netscape Directory Server Although the Netscape Directory Server (NDS) Version 6.02 is included in HP-UX 11i OEs, you must explicitly select NDS during the install or update process. If you do not select NDS, it will not be installed with HP-UX 11i. For more on this, see “Updating Netscape Directory Server” on page 119. NOTE Currently, Netscape Directory Server Version 6.02 is included with the HP-UX 11i Operating Environments.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use HP 3D Graphics No Longer Supported pre-PA-RISC 2.0 Systems As of the September 2002 HP-UX 11i release, HP 3D Graphics are no longer supported on PA-RISC systems older than version 2.0. If you have an older PA-RISC workstation and need 3D Graphics, HP recommends that you do not install or update to the this release of the Technical Computing (TCOE) or Minimal Computing Operating Environments (MCOE). Previous releases of HP-UX 11i still support PA-RISC 2.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use • using the VxVM conversion tools provided in the Base-VXVM and FEATURE11-11 bundles that are installed with HP-UX 11i (for more information about HP-UX 11i software bundles, see “What is Installed with HP-UX 11i?” on page 68). For more information, see the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Release Notes and VERITAS Volume Manager 3.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use • If updating an HP-UX 10.20 system with the CDE Spanish language keyboard enabled: After updating from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11i, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit OS and installing the HP-UX 11i Quality Pack (GOLDQPK11i) bundle, you must install patch PHSS_23644 to re-enable the CDE Spanish language keyboard. Obtain this patch from the HP IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com). This problem does not occur with other languages.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use (http://www.itresourcecenter.hp.com/) also has release notes and a FAQ with details about supported systems and necessary firmware updates. Cold-Install Considerations The following sections provide additional information to assist you in your decision to cold-install HP-UX 11i: Using VxVM Rootability Ignite-UX now provides you the option to install and configure VxVM 3.5 on your root volume. If you plan to configure your root volume with VxVM 3.
Choosing a Migration Path Deciding Which Method to Use Installing From Software Depots Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX. For help with this method, see the swinstall (1M) manpage and Software Distributor Administration Guide and Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
Choosing a Migration Path If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i System... If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i System... If your system is already running HP-UX 11i, you may only need to install one or more patch bundles to bring your system up-to-date or to enable new hardware.
Choosing a Migration Path Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i, you can choose to either cold-install or update from either CD-ROM or DVD media.
Choosing a Migration Path Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media How is the New DVD Packaging Organized? Because DVDs can hold significantly more data (over 4GB vs. 650MB for CD-ROM), the HP-UX 11i operating environment, and all of the HP-UX 11i applications have been optimized to fit on 1 DVD each.
Choosing a Migration Path Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media DVD Availability DVD drives are now available for both PA-RISC servers and workstations. Contact your HP Customer Engineer for more details about your system’s requirements.
Choosing a Migration Path Next Steps Next Steps Once you have decided how you want to move to HP-UX 11i, you can now evaluate the system requirements to run HP-UX 11i against your system’s configuration.

Using the update-ux Tool C Using the update-ux Tool This appendix describes the update-ux tool. Beginning with the 11i release, the update-ux command replaces swgettools to perform these OS update tasks: • Update the HP-UX OS from 10.20 or 11.
Using the update-ux Tool Overview Overview The update-ux command updates your system in this order: 1. Performs preparation steps including checking the root volume (see “About update-ux” on page 195). 2. Calls swinstall to install software bundles from CD1. swinstall does its Selection and Analysis processes on the software loaded from the CD, then replaces the existing OS with 11i OS bundles and default network drivers. 3.
Using the update-ux Tool About update-ux About update-ux The update-ux command improves the usability and robustness of the update process by eliminating many of the manual steps required by swgettools in previous HP-UX updates. In addition to ensuring a safe environment on the target system for the OS update, update-ux performs these update preparation steps before initiating the update: • Before updating from HP-UX 10.
Using the update-ux Tool update-ux Syntax update-ux Syntax update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-a 32|64] [-n|-y] [-i] [-x option=value] [sw_spec] where: -s source_location Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted CD containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot combination. All paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths.
Using the update-ux Tool update-ux Syntax For information on swinstall options, see the swinstall (1m) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide. sw_spec Specifies one or more optional software bundles to be updated, such as an operating environment (OE) bundle name, a network-driver bundle or Ignite-UX. If an OE bundle name is not included on the command line, only the core OS will be updated. For more about update-ux, see the update-ux (1M) manpage.

Configuring Built-In PCI Networking 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) D Configuring Built-In PCI Networking This appendix describes configuring built-in (or core) PCI networking cards in HP workstations and servers. 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) These instructions apply to the 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) product. They assume that the card has been factory installed and the software already loaded on your disk. Step 1.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) lanscan Step 3. Set the MTU value to 9000 for jumbo frames by executing: lanadmin -M 9000 PPA_number Step 4. To verify MTU change, execute: netstat -rn. Step 5. To check the current Ethernet frame size, execute: lanadmin -m NOTE PPA_number An alternative way to configure the jumbo frame size is to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf (or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf).
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The following subsections apply to the PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 network cards. The information on the 100Base-FX/9000 (fiber) card is only applicable to the V-class server. The PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 products interface various types of HP servers and workstations to either a 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 100Base-FX network.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 • The PCI 100Base-FX (fiber) card operates only at 100Mbits/s half-duplex mode. The fiber card does not support autonegotiation or autosensing. • Only the PCI 100Base-TX card supports both full and half-duplex modes. If your hub or switch does not support autonegotiation, ensure that your hub or switch is set to the desired duplex mode.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 If your network uses BNC connections, attach the LAN cable to the 10 Mbits/s BNC connector. If your network uses Attachment Unit Interfaces (AUIs), attach your 10 Mbits/s Media Access Unit (MAU) to the AUI connector. Only use one of the three connectors at a time; disconnect the other two connectors on the card. The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the BNC and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 Step 2. Configure the card using SAM: a. Log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed by executing: ioscan b. Run the System Administration Manager: sam c. Double click Networking and Communications. d. Double click Network Interface Cards. e. Highlight the PCI 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX card and choose Configure from the Actions menu. f. Fill in the form according to the instructions. g.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 e. To configure remote systems, see the Using PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 guide, available on the Instant Information CD and on the Web at: http://docs.hp.com/ Do this step only if remote systems have not been previously configured. Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Because this PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN card supports autonegotiation, you should not normally need to manually set the duplex mode.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 Ensure that the speed, duplex mode, and autonegotiation of the associated switch are configured the same as on the PCI 10/100Base-TX card. If the switch supports autonegotiation on the ports connected to the cards, this should be enabled as explained in “Autonegotiation and Auto-sensing” on page 207. To list the current speed and duplex mode of a PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card, use the -x option (lowercase x) in the lanadmin command.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 If you use manual configuration to change the card to a different speed and duplex mode, you may need to turn autonegotiation on first before the manual setting takes place. NOTE Mismatches between the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card and switch will cause incorrect operation.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The fiber card (100Base-FX/9000) operates at 100 Mbit/s and in half-duplex mode only. It does not support autonegotiation or autosensing. NOTE If the PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the PCI card will autosense the speed of the link and set itself accordingly. The card will be set to half-duplex in this case.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The initial transmit threshold value is set to eliminate transmit underruns (that is, when the transmitter encounters an empty transmit FIFO during the transmission). However, it can also reduce transmit performance by not being able to pre-fetch the next packet until the current frame is completely transferred. This causes a slight delay between frames, resulting in an overall drop in transmit performance.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 may have a more noticeable drop in performance (when more than 1 out of every 1000 packets have errors) than applications which are request-response in nature (NFS, for example). Transmit underrun errors may occur on some HP systems when there is sufficient bus contention from competing I/O devices on the system I/O bus. These errors can be monitored in two ways: 1. Examine the output from the netstat -I command.
Configuring Built-In PCI Networking PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 The Link Status LED is for the RJ-45 connector only. The link LED is lit only when the RJ-45 connector on the card is connected properly to a 10/100 Mbit/s switch or hub.When the RJ-45 cable connection is used, the link LED must be lit to indicate proper functioning.
