Chapter 3 Planning a System Upgrade

Table of Contents

This chapter explains what you need to do to prepare to upgrade a system to 10.01. Check the bullets that follow to make sure you're in the right place.

If you are running a release earlier than 9.0, do not go on.
You either need to upgrade your system to a 9.x release first, or, possibly, "cold install" 10.01 and reconfigure your system from scratch (as though it were a new system):
- For "cold install" instructions, see Installing HP-UX 10.10 and Updating from HP-UX 10.x to 10.10.
- For instructions for upgrading from 8.x to 9.x releases of HP-UX, see Installing and Updating HP-UX 9.0.
If you are running HP-UX 10.0 or 10.01, you do not need to do the tasks described in this manual; see Installing HP-UX 10.10 and Updating from HP-UX 10.x to 10.10.

The section that follows provides information on systems you cannot upgrade to 10.x (or which will require hardware modifications before you can upgrade them). If none of this applies to your system, go on to the next section of this chapter, “Upgrade Paths ”.
