Prior to updating to HP-UX 11i v2, you should perform these
tasks:
Recording
Software Versions |
 |
To identify what software still needs updating after the OS
update, print a swlist listing of all products and bundles prior to the update.
For example, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist | lp
Then compare it with a similar swlist executed after the update.
Rebuilding
the Kernel |
|
Your update could fail if the HP-UX kernel build fails in
the starting environment. To ensure that you have a reliable starting
point, rebuild the kernel before you update:
As root, enter:
/usr/sbin/mk_kernel
Fix any problems listed in the mk_kernel output.
Reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel
boots.
Cleaning
Out Your Log Files |
|
To make it easier to check for problems encountered during
an update, rename the log files before starting an update:
cd /var/adm/sw
As root, rename each log file. For example:
mv swagent.log swagent_old.log
Printable version
