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

IMPORTANT: If you choose to select an OE other than the one that was automatically selected,
you must adhere to an supported update path. See “Supported update paths” (page 18).
Figure 5 OE Selection Tab
With this screen, you can accomplish two tasks: 1) review the contents of an OE you are considering
for update, and 2) make the actual OE selection. With the next screen (in Step 4), you will be able
to select the individual software bundles.
a. The OE software is divided into three install types: required, recommended, and optional. If
you are not familiar with the special meanings of these terms, see their definitions in “HP-UX
11i v3 Operating Environment install/update structure” (page 84). In addition, the software
is separated into several product categories. Again, see “HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment
install/update structure” (page 84) for more information.
On this tab you can review the software contents included within the OE:
Highlight the category you would like to review and press Enter to expand and view its
contents.
b. When you are ready to select the OE to which you want to update, navigate to the OE listing
and press the spacebar to select it. Then enter n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed
to the SW-Selection tab.
The system displays the message: Working...Loading *temporary* update tools
that do not affect the running system and will be removed when the
OE update is finished.
Step 4: Select software
The SW-Selection tab appears. The SW-Selection tab displays the software contents of the OE you
selected on the OE-Selection tab. On the SW-Selection tab you can choose the software contents
you want to include within the OE.
