Monitoring the
update process
IMPORTANT
The update-ux command updates your system in this order:
1. Performs preparation steps including checking the root volume (see
"About update-ux" on page 48).
2. Calls swinstall to install software bundles from CD1. swinstall does
its Selection and Analysis processes on the software loaded from the
CD, then replaces the existing OS with 11i OS bundles and default
network drivers.
3. Prompts you after about an hour to replace CD1 with other CDs from
the media box. After mounting each CD, update-ux calls swinstall
again to load software and any additional software bundle(s) you
specified in the update-ux command.
4. Reboots the system after all software has been loaded. These OS and
network driver bundles are loaded by default:
HPUXBase32 or HPUXBase64
HPUXBaseAux
HWEnable11i
BUNDLE11i
FibrChanl-00 (64-bit OS only)
GigEther-00
RAID-00 (64-bit OS only)
FDDI-00 (32-bit OS only)
(other networked drivers if needed)
OnlineDiag
CDE-English (or appropriate language bundle(s) )
The entire update process typically takes from 2 to 6 hours, depending
upon the system being updated, whether you are updating only the OS or
also adding an OE, the amount of existing user data on the system, etc. If
you are only updating the OS (not including an OE) on a newer system,
the update time will typically be 2-3 hours.
If you encounter a problem during the update process, review Appendix
B in this guide for possible solutions.
Before proceeding, please back up your system; see Chapter 1.
