Locate Source Media for Migration

Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and you have decided how to migrate to HP-UX 11i (cold-install or update), you need to locate the source media needed for the migration:

If you are migrating one system at a time — Migrate directly from the CDs or DVDs in the HP-UX 11i media kit:
- HP-UX 11i OE media (2 CDs, 1 DVD) — Boot and install a new system or update an existing HP-UX 10.20, 11.0, or 11i system.
- Support Plus CD — Install current HP-UX 11i patch bundles to fix defects in the OS and OE applications.
- HP-UX Application media (multiple CDs, 1 DVD) — Install applications not installed with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application. Some applications installed with an HP-UX 11i OE may be older versions than those available on the HP-UX Applications CDs/DVD supplied in the media kit. Products available on Application CDs/DVD are listed in the CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each CD or DVD.
If you plan to migrate many systems in your enterprise — We recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a "golden image" from which to migrate. This install image can contain the HP-UX 11i OS, and OE, other applications and any needed patches. Once the archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another system, migration on each client system is a single-pass operation; you will only need to reboot each client once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, supplied on the HP-UX Instant Information CD and on this web site:
