Updating HP-UX and Veritas Products Using the update-ux Command
This section describes how to update an HP-UX 11i v2 system to HP-UX 11i v3 with Veritas VxVM
5.0.1 and VxFS 5.0.1 using the update-ux command.
To update the operating system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the contents of the HP-UX 11i v3 OE media to an HP-UX depot by entering the swcopy
-s command:
For example, to copy the contents of a DVD, such as /11v3OE_DVD to a depot called /var/
depots/my_hpux_depot, enter the following command:
# swcopy -s /11iv3OE_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
If there are multiple HP-UX 11i v3 DVDs, repeat this step for DVD.
2. Alternatively, you can copy the DVD contents in an interactive mode wherein you mount the
DVD and use the Find Local CD-ROM option in the Specify Source screen by entering the
following command:
# swcopy -i \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
3. Copy the contents of the HP-UX ServiceGuard and StorageManagement Products media into
the depot folder you created:
# swcopy -s /11iv3SG_DVD \* @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
For example, copy the /11iv3SG_DVD into the same HP-UX depot.
If there are multiple ServiceGuard and StorageManagement DVDs, you must repeat this step
for each DVD.
4. If you plan to use this HP-UX depot to update systems other than the system where the depot
resides, you must register the HP-UX depot. The swcopy command automatically registers the
depot when it is first created. However, HP recommends that you register the depot again
such that it is visible to other systems. Enter the following command to register the HP-UX depot:
# swreg -l depot @ /var/depots/my_hpux_depot
5. On each system that must be updated to HP–UX 11i v3, enter the following command:
# update-ux -s depot_server_name:/var/depots/my_hpux_depot \
!Base-VxVM-50 B3929GB \
B9116DB Base-VxFS-501 Base-VxTools-501 Base-VxVM-501 VxFS-SDK-501
If the HP-UX depot resides on the system that must be updated, you need not specify the name
of the depot server using the depot_server_name option. The depot_server_name
option indicates the hostname of the system where the my_hpux_depot resides followed
by a colon (:).
This command updates the system to HP-UX 11i v3 and VxVM 5.0.1 and VxFS 5.0.1. The
!Base-VxVM-50 entries on the command line ensure that VxVM 5.0 is not installed from the
depot during the update.
When you update HP-UX 11i v2 systems that include VxVM 3.5, the following message is displayed:
