If your system is already running HP-UX 11i v1, use update-ux to update to the new version of the OE for HP-UX 11i v1.

You can install HP-UX 11i v1 patch bundles and the OnlineDiag bundle to fix defects and enable new hardware. If you only install the patch bundles, these bundles will not include the application updates provided on the OE media.

Rather than doing a complete migration to the current HP-UX 11i v1 OS or OE, consider using swinstall to install the latest patch bundles (Table 3-2 “Patch Bundles by Media Location”) to meet your system needs :
