Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

Chapter 2 53
Updating an Existing Operating System and Software
Installing Applications Software
Since optional networking products are shipped on separate media from
the CORE HP-UX, their drivers are removed from the kernel during the
update process. This means that if you update using theCORE medium or
a depot made from it, the optional networking will not be available after
reboot.
If the networking which was removed provides access to the remote SD
depot or CD-ROM drive, then, after reboot, any swinstall of applications,
including networking will need to be performed from a local CD-ROM
drive or tape drive or a local disk depot.
An alternative is to use swcopy to create a combined CORE and
Applications depot and use that depot as your swinstall source.
Since a combined depot or tape contains the new revisions of the
networking products, their drivers will be reinstalled before reboot and
so the networking they provide will be available after reboot.
If you have a custom update tape provided as part of you HP software
support contract, then it is normally already combined and you do not
need to create a combined depot, as long as the update tape, or any depot
made from it, contains the HP-UX CORE software and the optional
networking software which you need.
Installing the Optional OnlineJFS Product
HP OnlineJFS is the advanced optional bundle for the VxFS File System.
You can use the capabilities of OnlineJFS to perform certain key
administrative tasks on mounted VxFS file systems. Because you can
perform these tasks on mounted file systems, users on the system can
continue to perform their work uninterrupted.
These tasks include:
• Defragmenting a file system to regain performance.
• Resizing a file system.
• Creating a snapshot file system for backup purposes.
You can install it with swinstall in the following order:
1. Install the JournalFS product, if it is not already installed.
2. Install two HP OnlineJFS bundle filesets.
(AdvJournalFS.VXFS-ADV-KRN and
AdvJournalFS.VXFS-ADV-RUN).
