HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

If you wish to upgrade to a mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment (vPars A.04.xx/11.23 &
vPars A.05.xx/11.31 in the same nPartition), see “Updating from vPars A.04.xx to Mixed HP-UX
11i v2/v3 vPars (A.04.xx and A.05.xx) Environment” (page 93).
This process works only using Update-UX and a corresponding Ignite-UX depot; it does not
work by directly using the OE and vPars media. If you wish to install directly from media, you
should use the instructions from any of the following:
• “Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC” (page 111)
• “Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on Integrity” (page 113)
• “Installing vPars with Software Distributor ” (page 115)
Update-UX Preparation Steps
The advantages of using Update-UX are 1) you can update both OE and vPars versions
simultaneously, so there are fewer reboots, and 2) although you must still reboot the nPartition,
you can perform these steps within a vPars environment; you do not need to boot the system
into standalone mode.
CAUTION:
Using Update-UX Update-UX allows for both the OE and vPars bundles to be updated in the
same session. To simultaneously update both the OE and vPars bundles in the same session,
they both must be in the same source depot.
If you update from a depot which does not contain the vPars bundle, your disk will no longer
boot in vPars mode. See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide and Using Golden Images with Virtual
Partitions for information on how to setup your Ignite-UX server.
NOTE: Before using the update-ux command, make sure you have the latest Update-UX
bundle installed for each virtual partition:
# swinstall -s source_depot Update-UX
After the latest Update-UX bundle has been installed, you can use the update-ux command.
The syntax is:
# update-ux -s source_depot OE_bundle vPars_bundle
For example, the command line used in this section is:
• # update-ux -s depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent
T1335CC
where
— depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD is the source depot
— HPUX11i-OE-Ent is the Enterprise OE bundle. The OE bundle name will differ when
using a different HP-UX operating environment, as shown in “OE Bundle Names for
Update-UX” (page 77).
— T1335CC is the vPars A.05.xx bundle.
