Update means using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot.

An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place.

You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23). Updating from any other release directly to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported.

Update Path Notes

  • You cannot downgrade to a lower level Operating Environment. See Table 3-1 for supported update paths.

  • You cannot update between server Operating Environments and technical Operating Environments.

  • Updating from a release of HP-UX to another release of HP-UX that was released earlier in time is not supported. For example, trying to update from HP-UX 11i v2 June 2007 release to the HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release is not supported. This could cause system incompatibilities and unpredictable results. If you attempt to update to an earlier version of HP-UX, the update process will stop without making any changes to your system and you will get the following error message:

    ERROR: You are attempting to update from your release of HP-UX to a version of HP-UX that was released earlier in time. This is not supported. The update process has stopped without making any changes to your system. Please see the 'Supported Update Paths' section of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide for more information.

NOTE: Updating from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported. You must first update to an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. Please see the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide for information on how to update from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2. In addition, make sure your system meets the minimum system and disk space requirements before updating from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3.
