Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (No OE Installed)
NOTE HP strongly recommends that you update your system with an operating
environment to provide you with an integrated and tested set of
supporting software and applications.
If you do not specify an OE bundle update-ux will only install the OS,
networking, diagnostic and CDE bundles listed on page 161. Any
additional software bundles associated with an OE are not installed.
For example, to update the HP-UX 11i v2 OS, insert the HP-UX 11i v2
DVD in the local mounted drive and enter the following command:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom
Adding or Upgrading an OE
To install an OE on an HP-UX 11i v2 system not containing an OE, or to
upgrade HP-UX 11i v2 to higher-level OE (for example, HP-UX 11i v2
Foundation OE to HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE) insert the HP-UX 11i v2
DVD and specify the new OE using the update-ux command. For
example, to add the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent
When the update is complete, the original OE bundle wrapper (if one
existed) will be removed and replaced with the new bundle wrapper.
IMPORTANT Upgrading to a higher level OE is only supported if you are updating
from a lower level HP-UX 11i v2 operating environment. In other words
you cannot update, for example, from HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to
HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE
You can not downgrade from a higher level OE to a lower level OE
Updating From a Network Depot
To update from an network depot on a remote system named netdepot,
include the path to the depot in the update-ux command. The following
example does an update to the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE:
