HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

Updating to an Operating Environment from the command line
To update to a specific HP-UX 11i v3 OE, you need to specify the OE name in the
update-ux command. For example, to update to the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE, you can
insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD in the local drive mounted at /dvdrom. As root, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE
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
