This chapter describes tasks that everyone upgrading a 9.x system to 10.01 or 10.10 needs to do, well ahead of the upgrade. See the table of tasks and times later in this chapter for lead-time estimates.

You do not need to do the tasks in this chapter if you:

  • Are already running a 10.x release and want to go the next one.

  • Are planning to "cold install" HP-UX 10.01 or 10.10.

    "Cold install" means putting the HP-UX operating system onto a new computer, or onto an existing system whose configuration you don't need to preserve (for example a "crash and burn" test system).

In these cases, you need a different manual, Installing HP-UX 10.10 and Updating from HP-UX 10.x to 10.10.

NOTE: The only way to upgrade a 9.x system to 10.x is to upgrade initially to 10.01. This chapter describes the steps to prepare your system for that upgrade, and Chapter 6 “Upgrading Your System from 9.x to 10.01 ” describes the 10.01 upgrade itself. From there it is a simple step to upgrade to 10.10. See “Summary of Upgrade Tasks From Here On ”, below, for an outline of the procedure.
