Migrating to HP-UX 11i
Updating HP-UX 10.20/11.0 to 11i
system. To use these recovery commands, you need to first install the
Ignite-UX bundle as shown later in the update examples.
Use the same process you used to back up your system before migrating
to HP-UX 11i. See "Back Up Your System!" in Chapter 1.

Procedure A: Install update-ux

You need the update-ux command installed to update from HP-UX 10.20
or 11.0 to 11i. Follow these steps to install update-ux:
Step 1. Insert the HP-UX 11i CD 1 and wait for the CD drive's busy light to stop
blinking.
Step 2. Log on as root and find the CD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -fnC disk
A typical CD-ROM device name is: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0
Step 3. Create the directory /cdrom under root(/):
mkdir /cdrom
Step 4. Mount the CD onto the /cdrom directory as a file system. For example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
Step 5. Install update-ux onto the target system:
swinstall -r -s /cdrom SW-DIST.SD-UPDATE \
\@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2> /dev/null
The -r option causes SD to write the log files to the alternate root. The
11i SD contains many new keywords that 10.20 and 11.00 SD do not
recognize, so the install generates many warnings that can be ignored.
Use of the alternate root facilitates ignoring the warnings.

Procedure B: Create a Network Depot (optional)

HP-UX 11i is delivered on two CDs, requiring you to swap CDs during
the update process. If you want to update without having to swap CDs,
you need to create a remote depot on an existing 11i system that contains
all the necessary software, then update from that single source.
As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX
11i CDs onto a depot server or other system running HP-UX 11i in your
