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

IMPORTANT: Make sure you install all new optional software included in the OE collection that
you want at the same time that you do your update. See the next section.
Updating optional software from the command line
To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and specify additional optional software bundles on the command line,
enter the name of the OE followed by the names of the optional software bundles. The following
example assumes the desired OE is the Base OE:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE optional_software_bundle_name
Completing the update
Upon completing your update, proceed to the next chapters:
• (optional) Chapter 7: “Installing applications and patches” (page 59)
• Chapter 8: “Post-install/update tasks and troubleshooting” (page 64)
TIP: After completing the update, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You might need them
later to install additional drivers or other software.
