Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v1

Update means 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.

An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. You can update to HP-UX 11i v1 from the following HP-UX operating systems:

If you update an existing HP-UX OS to the September 2005 version of HP-UX 11i v1, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11.0, or HP-UX 11i v1. Updating from any other release to HP-UX 11i v1 is not supported.

Table 3-1 “Updating from Previous HP-UX Releases” lists the supported update paths from previous releases of HP-UX to the current release of HP-UX 11i v1.
