Update to HP-UX 11i OS (No OE Installed)
NOTE HP strongly recommends that you update your system with an operating
environment to provide you with the an integrated and tested set of
supporting software and applications.
If you do not specify an OE bundle update-ux will only the install the
OS, networking, diagnostic and CDE bundles listed on page 70. Any
additional software bundles associated with an OE are not installed.
For example, to update the HP-UX 11i OS, insert HP-UX 11i CD1 or
DVD1 in the local mounted drive and enter the following command:
•CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom
Adding or Upgrading an OE
To install an OE on an 11i system not containing an OE, or to upgrade
11i to higher-level OE (for example, HP-UX 11i OE to Enterprise OE)
insert the HP-UX 11i media in the CD or DVD drive and specify the new
OE using update-ux. For example, to add the default HP-UX 11i OE,
enter:
•CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE
If you are using CDs, update-ux will prompt you to replace 11i OE CD1
with 11i OE CD2, then complete the update. Similarly, if you did not
initially install or upgrade a workstation with the Minimal Technical OE
or Technical Computing OE, you can add that bundle using update-ux
from the Technical Computing OE media. For example, to install the
no-cost MTOE, enter:
•CD-ROM: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-MTOE
•DVD: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-MTOE
When the update is complete, the original OE bundle wrapper (if one
existed) will be removed and replaced with the new bundle wrapper.
