Locate Source Media for Migration

Locate Source Media for Migration
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and
you have decided how to migrate to HP-UX 11i (cold-install or update),
you need to locate the source media needed for the migration:
• If you are migrating one system at a time — Migrate directly
from the CDs in the HP-UX 11i media box:
— HP-UX 11i OE CDs — Boot and install a new system or update
an existing HP-UX 10.20 system.
— Support Plus CD — Install current HP-UX 11i patch bundles to
fix defects in the OS and OE applications.
— HP-UX Application CDs — Install applications not installed
with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application. Some
applications installed with an 11i OE may be older versions than
those available on the HP-UX Applications CDs supplied in the
media box. Products available on Application CDs are listed in the
CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each CD.
• If you plan to migrate many systems in your enterprise — We
recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a "golden image"
from which to migrate. This install image can contain the 11i OS, and
OE, other applications and any needed patches. Once the archive is in
place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another system, migration
on each client system is a single-pass operation; you will only need to
reboot each client once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server with HP-UX 11.0, see
the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, supplied on the HP-UX Instant
Information CD and on the Web:
docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11i/
This completes preparing the system. Now migrate your system
to HP-UX 11i as explained in Chapter 2.
