Reviewing the Update Process

This section describes updating to HP-UX 11i v2 using the update-ux command and Software Distributor (SD) tools to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot.

Figure 6-1 “Updating to HP-UX 11i v2” shows the overall update process. You can update your system using one of the following methods:

From a network depot — Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then update from the depot using update-ux. For help with this method, refer to the swcopy(1M) manpage, the Software Distributor Administration Guide, and the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. “Updating from a Network Depot” for an example.
From DVD media — Use the update-ux command described in “Updating to HP-UX 11i v2”.




	IMPORTANT: You must install the latest version of Update-UX prior to updating your system. Failure to do so may cause the update to fail.




	NOTE: If your system is on HP Mission Critical Support, discuss the proper method of installing and patching the OE with your HP Customer Engineer.
