HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2012

Figure 4 Select Source Tab
a. Specify the source depot that contains the new OE that you want to use to update your target
system. The system automatically selects the local host and default depot path.
You can expand any entry that is preceded by the + sign. This allows you to view the available
depots on the server.
b. If the depot containing the software you want to install does not appear in the list, you can
do one of the following:
• Add another host system to the list of registered source depots by entering s (Add
Server/Depot) and then entering the name of the new source host; or
• You can also remove a host system from the list of registered source depots by entering
d (Delete Server).
c. Press Enter. The system retrieves all the depots available for the host name specified and
displays a list of registered depots on the source host.
d. Use the spacebar to select the depot containing the software you want to install.
NOTE: You cannot select content within the OE at this point. Software selection within the
selected OE is in the next screen.
e. Enter n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed to the OE-Selection tab. (The system
displays the message Reading Data from Source before displaying the next tab.)
Step 3: Select OE
The OE-Selection tab appears.
The OE-Selection tab displays the list of OEs to which you can update. The OE that best matches
the one currently installed on your system is automatically selected:
• If your system already has an HP-UX 11i v3 BOE, HA-OE, VSE-OE, or DC-OE, the same OE
will be automatically selected.
• If you are updating from HP-UX 11i v2, or if your system has one of the “old” HP-UX 11i v3
OEs (FOE, EOE, MCOE, or TCOE), Update-UX will select the “new” OE that best matches the
“old” OE.
You may choose a different OE by selecting it (which will automatically deselect the other).
