Choosing a Migration Path
Deciding Which Method to Use
Chapter 2 37
• Your system configuration is not listed as a supported update path
(see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on
page 34).
• You are migrating an HP Workstation to HP-UX 11i v2.
You can cold-install from any supported configuration (see “Supported
Servers and Workstations” on page 56).
See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for
more information about preparing your system for cold-install. Then the
cold-install process using Ignite-UX is described in Chapter 5.
When to Update
You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 when you are
updating from supported HP-UX 11i v1.6 systems or from HP-UX 11i v2
(see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on
page 34 for specific details). Other scenarios include:
• You are concerned about recovering unique applications and data on
your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files when
cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2.
• Each system has a unique configuration.
• Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v2 (see “How to Plan
Your Disk Space Needs” on page 55).
NOTE Update is not supported on HP Workstations.
See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for
details on how to prepare your system to update to HP-UX 11i v2. Then
the update process is described in Chapter 6.
Installing Network Drivers
Installing HP-UX 11i v2 will install a minimum set of default
networking drivers that apply to the system (see Table D-4, “HP-UX 11i
v2 Always-Installed Network Drivers,” on page 174).
