Migrating from Previous HP-UX Releases

You can cold-install HP-UX 11i and its accompanying operating environment on any supported system listed in Table 3-1 “Supported Systems”, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update an existing HP-UX OS to the December 2002 version of HP-UX 11i, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0. If you are updating from a previous HP-UX 11i release, see “If You Have an Existing HP-UX 11i System...”. Updating from any other release directly to HP-UX 11i is not a supported migration path.
