utilized the following as a guide back in 04...It took a total of 7hrs on a v2250.

I now prefer a new install and restoring or maybe vgimports (depending on your storage structure).

hope it helps,

HPUX 11i Upgrade Plan


Document your server information:
network interface information
lanscan, ifconfig lanX, netstat -i
sendmail configuration
special environment executables, like "lp"


1. make sure you have plenty of available FREE space, refer to read-me document.
(currently available on box):

1137594 24% /
374137 17% /stand
1917238 59% /var
2940422 25% /usr
2394869 0% /tmp
3276558 16% /opt

swapinfo
Kb Kb Kb PCT START/ Kb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 2048000 0 2048000 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
dev 17670144 0 17670144 0% 0 - 0 /dev/vga70/swap1


2. Stop ALL applications
3. Stop Listeners
4. Stop NFS client
a. /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

5. Mount HPUX 11i Disc 1

6. Start install procedure

removed any previous state files that may exist:

# rm /var/adm/sw/defaults

# rm /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/state*

a. mount /cdrom and perform an swinstall and select/install "Update-UX" upgrade utility
swinstall and follow Instillation instructions.

# swinstall -r -s /cdrom Update-UX \
> \@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root

7. Now you can run the "update-ux" command for the version you are installing

# update-ux -s /cdrom -x autoreboot=true HPUX11i-OE

took default on merging lan drivers...

our v2250 took 7hours to upgrade to 11i...all cd's where requested.

8. Install Mirror Disk using swinstall and Application CD's
you may need to call license.hp.com to get new code password

9. Install Online JFS using swinstall (If licensed) and Application CD's
you may need to call license.hp.com to get new code password

10. Install Glance using swinstall and Application CD's
you may need to call license.hp.com to get new code password

11. Install Quality Pack Bundle/Udates - GOLDQPK11i using swinstall and
supportPLUS CD's
This will install both GOLDBASE11i and GOLDAPPSlli

12. Test/Verify sendmail, lp, network and other server/environment settings
