Preparing for Software Migration This chapter will help you assess the current state of your system (hardware, OS, disk space, etc.) prior to migrating to HP-UX 11i. Topics covered here include: • Introducing HP-UX 11i — Media kit contents, new features, operating environments and overview of the migration process.
Page 10: Introduction
IMPORTANT Be sure to review this entire guide before proceeding to install or update your system. If you plan to update to HP-UX 11i rather than cold-install it, carefully review Appendix B for situations that may apply to your system.

Page 17: Migrating From Previous Hp-Ux Releases
You can cold-install HP-UX 11i and its accompanying Operating Environment on any supported system listed on page 13, running any HP-UX OS. If you choose to update an existing HP-UX OS to 11i, however, the system must be running either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0.

Preparing for Software Migration Installing Diagnostics Installing Diagnostics HP-UX 11i automatically installs support tools on all systems to provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the OnlineDiag bundle, give you a complete solution to verify, troubleshoot, and monitor HP 9000 system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, mass storage and other devices.
Page 26: Needing More Disk Space
Needing More Disk Space? This section provides hints and information to help you determine your disk needs for HP-UX 11i. If you need more disk space (HP-UX 11i generally requires a 4GB root volume), be sure to order the equipment and plan on installing it after backing up your current system as explained later in this chapter.

Migrating to HP-UX 11i Updating HP-UX 10.20/11.0 to 11i Procedure C: Update to HP-UX 11i By now you should have successfully installed update-ux onto the target system and, optionally, created an update depot containing all software bundles to be installed. Now you can proceed to update your target system as follows.
Page 57 HPUX11i-MTOE For example, to update to 11i and install the default 11i OE, insert an HP-UX 11i CD1 in the local drive mounted at /cdrom. As root, enter: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE Or, to update to 11i and install the 11i Mission Critical OE, insert...
Page 58 Migrating to HP-UX 11i Updating HP-UX 10.20/11.0 to 11i • Update to HP-UX 11i OS (no OE): To update to HP-UX 11i, insert HP-UX 11i CD1 in the local drive mounted at /cdrom and enter: /usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom This example updates the HP-UX OS to 11i. All OS, networking, diagnostic and CDE bundles listed on page 41 are installed.
Page 59 When the -i option is speciﬁed, swinstall’s interactive user interface is active only when swinstall is running to load software from each source location. When installing from HP-UX 11i CDs, you will have to select non-default software twice; once for each CD. If you do set swinstall options like match_target, be sure to re-select those options in the second swinstall session.
Page 60 Products installed include the default HP-UX 11i OS bundles listed on page 51, plus the Ignite-UX server bundle, B5725AA. Now you can use Ignite-UX to install and recover other HP-UX 10.20, 11.0 and 11i systems in your network. After installing selectable software, complete any post-install conﬁguration explained in the HP-UX 11i Release Notes available in...

Page 64: Updating To
HP strongly recommends that only a complete 11i Operating Environment (OE) be installed and that no products be added to or removed from the OE. HP-UX 11i OEs have been designed and tested to work as complete solutions. Installing or removing individual products in the OE may impact the quality of the OE.
Page 65: Changing Operating Environments
Each HP-UX 11i media kit contains at least one Operating Environment (OE). The extra-cost Enterprise and Mission Critical OEs each contain the HP-UX 11i OE and the extra-cost OE. If you did not purchase an extra-cost OE, the HP-UX 11i OE bundle is supplied for servers and Technical Computing OE is supplied for technical workstations and technical servers.

For more information on network topologies and associated speciﬁcations for 100Base-TX networking, refer to the IEEE 802.3u speciﬁcation.
Page 132: Compatibility And Installation Requirements
Conﬁguring Built-In PCI Networking Compatibility and Installation Requirements Compatibility and Installation Requirements The limits of the current PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 are: • The PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card supports autonegotiation and autosensing. You should not normally need to manually conﬁgure the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card.
Page 133: Conﬁguring Network Connectivity
1. Attach the system to the network: a. Ensure that the HP 9000 is shut down completely and the power is OFF. Ensure that the system is grounded. b. If your Base-TX network uses 8-pin RJ-45 connectors, attach the RJ-45 plug on your twisted-pair LAN cable into the RJ-45 connector on the PCI 10/100Base-TX card.
Page 134 Conﬁguring Built-In PCI Networking Conﬁguring Network Connectivity NOTE The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the BNC and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s. Also, the Link Status LED is for the RJ-45 connector only; the Link Status LED is dark if the AUI or BNC port is used.
Page 135 SAM. File 3. Verify the installation: a. Obtain the PPA (on HP-UX 10.20, it is the NMIDnumber) and the station address of your card by executing: lanscan b. To verify that no errors have occurred during installation, enter:...
Page 136: Manual Speed And Duplex Mode Conﬁguration
Conﬁguring Built-In PCI Networking Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Conﬁguration Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Conﬁguration Because this PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN card supports autonegotiation, you should not normally need to manually set the duplex mode. Sometimes you may need to manually set the duplex mode of the card, for example, if the switch is operating at full-duplex but does not autonegotiate.
Page 137 100hd =100 half-duplex lanadmin -X auto_on ppa turns autonegotiation on. The ppa is the physical point of attachment on HP-UX 10.30 or 11.0. On HP-UX 10.20, use the nmid or Network Management ID of the card. You can get the ppa ( nmid ) from the output of the lanscan command.
Page 138: Setting Speed And Duplex Mode At Boot Time (Workstation Only)
Conﬁguring Built-In PCI Networking Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Conﬁguration Setting Speed and Duplex Mode at Boot Time (workstation only) With this method you may set both the speed and duplex mode of the interface, and have this setting be in effect across subsequent system reboots.
Page 139: Autonegotiation And Auto-Sensing
Conﬁguring Built-In PCI Networking Autonegotiation and Auto-sensing Autonegotiation and Auto-sensing Autonegotiation enables devices sharing a link segment to operate at the optimal mode: 10Base-T or 100Base-TX and half- or full-duplex modes. If the PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device, such as a switch, that is autonegotiating, the PCI card will autonegotiate with the device to mutually determine the highest possible speed and duplex settings.

The Activity LED ﬂashes whenever the switch is sending link pulses. If the activity LED on the card is not blinking, then there may be a problem with the driver or the card. Contact HP.
