Preparing for Other Changes

Run Levels

Run levels for many functions change in 10.01. In many cases, the run-level needed for a given function increases by one; for example, run-level 4 is needed to initiate VUE. See chapter 1 of the 10.01 version of the HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual, under "Controlling Usage and Processes with Run-Levels", for more information.

Check your code, scripts and written procedures for assumptions about run-levels that may not be valid on 10.x.

Root User's Home Directory

upgrade modifies the .profile found in the root user's home directory (whether or not it is /) to make it 10.01-compliant. .profile files in other directories are not automatically modified.

	NOTE: This means that if root's home directory is not /, /.profile will not be modified.

You should check and if necessary modify non-root users' .profile and other shell startup scripts using the tools described in Chapter 5 “Converting Code and Scripts ”.
