Uninstalling HP-UX 11i v2
If you cannot resolve problems after installing HP-UX 11i v2, then you
may want to un-install it. The process depends upon the install process
you followed:
• Assuming that you have made a make_net_recovery tape using
Ignite-UX, boot the system from that media to return the OS and any
archived applications to the previous release. This is covered in
Chapter 11 of the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, available on the
Instant Information DVD and on the web:
http://docs.hp.com
If you do not use Ignite-UX or do not have a current
make_net_recovery tape, read on....
• If your applications and data are on a separate disk from the OS,
cold-install the previous OS. This ensures a clean OS installation,
removing all previous upgrade and patch information.
• If applications and/or data are on the same volume with the OS, boot
from the previously-saved system recovery tape to return to a
previous OS. These “expert recovery” processes are in Chapter 11 of
the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
To determine which applications are on the system and where they are
located, use swlist. If you only need to remove applications or patches
from the system, use swremove. See the Software Distributor
Administration Guide for details.
