5. Dump the saved PI state to a text file for possible use later. Obtain the dump by executing the
following command:
/opt/network/bin/hpuxpitool –g

6. Shutdown the OS using a shutdown command.
Post-Upgrade Procedure for PI
1. Dump the new PI state to a file for possible use later. Obtain the dump by executing the following
command:
/opt/network/bin/hpuxpitool –g
This will list out each network instance along with its post-upgrade MAC address.
2. Disable PI by executing the following command:
/opt/network/bin/hpuxpitool -d
You should see the following:
* Future operations will ask whether to update the backup.
* The requested changes have been applied to the currently
running configuration.

3. The networking should be checked to make sure that the original system network instances function
correctly. If the HP-UX boot reports a LAN interface configuration failure, then check the /etc/rc.log file
for the failed instance number which may indicate something like the following example:
ERROR: lan18 interface: ifconfig: no such interface
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED
Get the MAC address for the failed instance number from the pre-upgrade PI dump and look for that
MAC address in the post-upgrade PI state dump. From that entry, note the new instance number and
edit the HP-UX networking configuration for the failed instance number so that it uses the new
instance number.
