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. If you did not install one of these OE bundles of basic
applications, you can do so later.
Upgrading to a larger OE may require more disk space. See "Needing
More Disk Space?" in Chapter 1.
To install an OE on an 11i system not containing an OE, insert an
HP-UX 11i CD1 in the CD drive (for example mounted at /cdrom) and
specify the new OE using update-ux. For example, to add the HP-UX 11i
OE, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE
After a few minutes, update-ux will prompt you to replace 11i OE CD1
with 11i OE CD2, then complete the update. Similarly, if you did not
initially install or upgrade a workstation with the Technical Computing
OE, you can add that bundle using update-ux from the Technical
Computing OE CDs:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-TCOE
To upgrade 11i to a higher-level OE, say, from 11i OE to Enterprise OE,
you must first purchase the new HP-UX 11i Enterprise OE (or Mission
Critical OE) media from HP. Then use update-ux to add the Enterprise
OE software bundle to your server from those CDs.
To upgrade from the HP-UX 11i OE to the Mission Critical OE, insert an
HP-UX 11i Mission Critical OE CD1 in the CD drive (for example
mounted at /cdrom) and enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom HPUX11i-OE-MC
When the update is complete, the Mission Critical OE will be installed
and the original HP-UX 11i OE bundle wrapper will be removed.
If you wish to downgrade your system from a higher-level OE, say, from
Mission Critical OE to 11i OE, first use update-ux to install the smaller
