Updating to HP-UX 11i v3

Updating your system using update-ux includes the following tasks:

Task 1: Create a network depot (optional).
Create a network depot only if you intend to update other systems on the network. If you are not creating a network depot, you can skip this task. See “Task 1: Create a Network Depot (Optional)”.
Task 2: Install the latest version of update-ux.
See “Task 2: Install the Latest Update-UX Bundle”.
Task 3: Update your system using update-ux.
You can choose two different methods to update to HP-UX 11i v3 on a supported system: 1) by the using the update-ux terminal user interface; 2) by using the update-ux command line interface. See “Task 3: Update Your System Using Update-UX”.

After updating to HP-UX 11i v3, you might need to configure OE Applications to make your system fully functional. See “Post-Update Tasks ” for instructions.




	NOTE: In HP-UX 11i v3, there are two types of DSFs for mass storage: legacy DSFs and persistent DSFs. Both can be used to access a given mass storage device independently and can coexist on a given system. During an update from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, existing legacy DSFs are retained and persistent DSFs will be created. Configuration files will not be modified, so system devices will continue to use the existing legacy DSFs. For more information on the new mass storage stack, see the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 available at the following website: http://docs.hp.com/ Secure Path is no longer supported on HP-UX 11i v3. The new mass storage stack in HP-UX 11i v3 provides integrated Native Multipathing capability. For more information on migrating from Secure Path to Native Multipathing in HP-UX 11i v3, see the Migrating from HP StorageWorks Secure Path for Active-Active Disk Arrays to Native Multipathing in HP-UX 11i v3 available at http://docs.hp.com/

Task 1: Create a Network Depot (Optional)

Create a network depot only if you intend to update other systems on the network using a depot. This allows you to update all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. It also allows you to use the preview (-p) option, which is new for HP-UX 11i v3. You can use the preview (-p) option with either a depot or media. If you are not creating a network depot, you can skip this task.

As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX 11i v3 two-DVD set onto a depot server:




	NOTE: Make sure you copy all products from both HP-UX 11i v3 DVDs to your target depot.

Verify that you have at least 6 GB of free space to create the network depot on another system in your network. If this space is not available, use smh either to create a new volume group or to extend an existing volume group. For help, refer to either SMH help or the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide.
The HP-UX 11i v3 operating system comes as a two DVD set. Insert the first DVD into the drive.
Find the DVD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 is a typical device name.
Create the directory under root(/):
mkdir /dvdrom
Mount the first DVD onto the new directory as a file system, for example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
Create the directory that will contain the network depot you want to create, for example:
mkdir /var/11iv3
Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the target depot. For example, to copy the contents of the first DVD to the target depot called update-depot type the following command:
swcopy -s /dvdrom \* @ /var/11iv3/update-depot
Unmount the first DVD from its directory:
umount /dvdrom
Mount the second DVD onto the new directory as a file system, for example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the same target depot. For example, to copy the contents of the second DVD to the target depot called update-depot type the following command:
swcopy -s /dvdrom \* @ /var/11iv3/update-depot
Unmount the second DVD from its directory:
umount /dvdrom

The network depot is now ready to update your system to HP-UX 11i v3. Continue with “Task 2: Install the Latest Update-UX Bundle”.

Task 2: Install the Latest Update-UX Bundle

Prior to updating your system, you must install a supported version of the update-ux command from the Operating Environment DVDs.

This procedure walks you through the installation of the latest version of the Update-UX bundle, which includes the update-ux command, from the Operating Environment DVD media.

From the DVD Media

Find the DVD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more
A device name associated with your DVD device should be displayed. For example:
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0
Create the directory under root(/). For example:
mkdir /dvdrom
Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
Using swinstall, install the latest version of the Update-UX bundle on the target system.
NOTE: Make sure you use the correct case to install the Update-UX bundle (in title case). This bundle contains the update-ux command (lowercase).
swinstall -s /dvdrom Update-UX
From a Depot
The depot example uses the following syntax: depot_server:depot_path. For example:
swinstall -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update-depot Update-UX

Task 3: Update Your System Using Update-UX

After you have installed the Update-UX bundle on the target system and, optionally, created a network depot containing all software to be installed, you can update your target system. You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 using one of the following methods:

update-ux terminal user interface. See “Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Terminal User Interface”.
update-ux command line interface. See “Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Command Line Interface”.




	NOTE: Before you update your system to HP-UX 11i v3, review the known problems in Appendix A. Make sure to resolve any applicable issues before starting an update from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Terminal User Interface

This section describes how to update your system using the update-ux Terminal User Interface (TUI).

With the TUI, you use the Arrow, Tab, Space, and Return keys to navigate.

There are seven steps in the TUI update-ux process:

Table 6-2 TUI update-ux Steps

1. Start-Up	Start the update-ux TUI.
2. Select Source	Provide the location of the software depot from which the software will be installed.
3. Select OE	Select the OE that you wish to update to.
4. Select Software	Choose the software in the OE you selected to update.
5. Analysis (Preview)	Analyze (preview) the update selections to determine if the selected software can be updated successfully.
6. Update	Perform the actual software update.
7. Verify Update	Verify that the software update was successful.

Step 1: Start-Up

To start the TUI for an update session, type:
update-ux -i -s /dvdrom
The TUI is automatically invoked and the Update-UX Overview tab appears. If any screen other than the Overview tab appears, press 1 to display the Overview tab. This tab provides an overview of the update process. Follow the numbered tabs to update the OE.
Use the navigation legend at the bottom of each screen to navigate and select options on this terminal interface.
Figure 6-2 Overview Screen
After reviewing the information on the Update-UX Overview tab, type n (next) to proceed to the Source Selection tab.

Step 2: Select Source

The Source Selection tab appears. The Source Selection tab displays a list of registered source depots on the local host system.

Figure 6-3 Select Source Tab

Specify the source depot that contains the new OE that you want to use to update your target system. The system automatically selects the local host and default depot path.
You can expand any entry that is preceded by the + sign. This allows you to view the available depots on the server.
If the depot containing the software you want to install does not appear in the list, you can do one of the following:
- Add another host system to the list of registered source depots, by entering s (Add Server/Depot) and then entering the name of the new source host; or
- You can also remove a host system from the list of registered source depots, by entering d (Delete Server).
Press Enter. The system retrieves all the depots available for the host name specified and displays a list of registered depots on the source host.
Use the spacebar to select the depot containing the software you want to install.
Enter n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed to the OE Selection tab. (The system displays the message “Reading Data from Source” before displaying the next tab.)

Step 3: Select OE

The OE Selection tab appears. An Operating Environment (OE) is an integrated set of software that contains the HP-UX operating system, and selected applications.

The OE Selection tab displays the list of OEs to which you can update. The OE that matches the one currently installed on your system is automatically selected. You may choose a different OE by selecting it (which will automatically deselect the other).

Figure 6-4 OE Selection Tab

Use this screen to select and review the contents of the OE you want to update. There are three categories in the OE that you can review: optional, required, and recommended. Highlight the category you would like to review and press Enter to expand and view its contents.
On this tab you can review the software contents included within the OE.
NOTE: You cannot select or deselect any software on the 3: OE Selection tab. This is a view-only tab. Use the 4: SW-Software Selection tab to select and deselect software.
You can expand the list of OE software to display the following categories:
- Required: Software and administration tools needed to create a minimally bootable and maintainable system. Only drivers for basic hardware are included in this category. You may need to install additional drivers to use all hardware components. Software in this category is automatically selected as part of the OE and cannot be deselected.
- Recommended: Software bundles that HP recommends you install because it fulfills software dependencies, if any exist. Software in this category is automatically selected as part of the OE. You can, however, manually deselect the bundles before you install or update your system.
- Optional: Any software bundles in this category that match software currently installed on the target system will automatically be selected by default. You can manually select or deselect these bundles before you install or update your system.
Press the Spacebar to select the OE you want to update; then select n (next) to confirm your selection and proceed to the Software Selection tab.
The system displays the message: Working...Loading *temporary* update tools that do not affect the running system and will be removed when the OE update is finished.

Step 4: Select Software

The Software Selection tab appears. The Software Selection tab displays the software contents of the OE you selected on the OE Selection tab. On this tab you can adjust the software contents you want to include within the OE.

You can select or deselect optional software or deselect recommended software you do not want to update. Deselecting recommended software will deselect standalone software, network and storage drivers, and recommended software that is common to all operating environments.

Figure 6-5 Software Selection Tab




	CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment. If you deselect recommended software during the update, the old version of the software you deselected will remain on your system. The old version may or may not be compatible with the newly updated HP-UX 11i v3 operating system. In addition, software may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning correctly.

Use the spacebar to select or deselect software from the list.
The flag M (Match) appears when software has been matched to software currently installed on your system. The flag P(Partial) may appear if you select only a component of a software object or if such components are automatically selected due to dependencies.
The software products in each category have an associated flag that is displayed in the left-hand column and are described below:
- S is selected by the user.
- ! is unselected by the user
- D is a dependency
- A is automatically selected
- P is partially selected
- M is selected because it matches software installed on your system
- E an error has occurred when selecting this item
- . has no status; is not selected or installed
- N is newer than the software on the system
- O is older than the software on the system
- I is currently installed on the system.
After selecting the software you wish to install, type p (preview) to preview the actions that will occur for the update without modifying the system.
The output window appears and begins displaying messages beginning with: Analyzing software to be installed.

Step 5: Analysis (Preview)

In this step, the update-ux TUI analyzes the software you have selected.

The Analysis window displays status information about the analysis process. If the preview shows problems these will be displayed in the Analysis window.

When the analysis is complete press Enter to return to the Software Selection tab and start the actual update process (see “Step 6: Update”).

Figure 6-6 Analysis Dialog

If you started a preview session, the preview stops after the analysis. Press Enter to return to the Software Selection tab.
After returning to the Software Selection tab, type l (log) to view the log file, which presents a view of detailed install information.
Review any errors, warnings, or notes. Warnings are simply informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved before the update can continue.

Step 6: Update

In this step, the system proceeds with the actual update. At the Software Selection tab type i (install) to start the update process. After the update has started, the system will typically execute a reboot.

Step 7: Verify Update

After your system has completed its reboot, you will be prompted to change media when needed. Use the following steps to verify that the update completed successfully:

Verify that no errors were encountered before the update began by viewing the contents of the log file: /var/adm/sw/update-ux.log. You should see output similar to the following:

         Command entered: update-ux -s
         depot_server:/var/11iv3/update_depot SWM HPUX11i-OE
NOTE:    Output is logged to '/var/adm/sw/update-ux.log'
       * Obtaining some information from the source depot.
         cp /usr/lbin/swagent /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux
         compress /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent
         uncompress /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent.Z
         chmod +x /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swagent
       * Copying an SD agent from the source depot
         /usr/sbin/swagentd -k
         /usr/sbin/swagentd -r
         /usr/sbin/swcopy -s depot_server:/var/11iv3/update_depot
         -x logfile=/var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/swcopy.log
         -x autoselect_dependencies=false -x enforce_dependencies=false 
         -x mount_all_filesystems=false -x register_new_depot=false 
         -x uncompress_files=true -x reinstall=true SW-DIST.SD-AGENT @
         /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/SWDIST.depot
         /usr/sbin/swagentd -k
         /usr/sbin/swagentd -r
         rm -f /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/orig_swagent.log
         rm -f /var/adm/sw/tmp/update-ux/tmp_swagent.log
         /usr/sbin/swagentd -k.

Verify that all appropriate software was updated successfully by viewing the contents of the logfile: /var/opt/swm/swm.log.
You may view the contents of the swm.log interactively by typing the following command:
swm job -i
The system displays a log screen that displays contents of the log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log.
Figure 6-7 Log Screen
This log screen provides multiple ways of viewing the information recorded in the log file. You can filter out the messages by verbosity levels, using the action keys at the bottom of the screen.

Table 6-3 “Log Files Generated During Update” lists the log files that are generated during an update:

Table 6-3 Log Files Generated During Update

Log File	Description
`/var/opt/swm/swm.log`	This log file contains the output from the software selection, analysis and installation phases of the software update. In addition, this log file includes output from all control scripts that run during the update. The `swm.log` file is the primary log file that you should reference for the results of the update process.
`/var/adm/sw/update-ux.log`	This log file contains the output from the update-ux script. The update-ux script ensures that the right tools are installed before performing the update.
`/var/adm/sw/swagent.log`	This log file contains the detailed output from the software installation, including control scripts that run during the update. Please note that the `swm.log` file is a superset of the information found in the `swagent.log` file.
`/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log` `/var/adm/sw/swconfig.log` `/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log` `/var/adm/sw/swmodify.log` `/var/adm/sw/swreg.log` `/var/adm/sw/swremove.log` `/var/adm/sw/swverify.log`	These are log files for individual commands that run during the update. Success or failure and output from these commands is recorded in the `swm.log`. Unless directed by a message in another log file, there is no need to refer to these log files.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 Using the Command Line Interface

Use the following syntax to run the update-ux command:

update-ux -s source_location [-?][-i][-p][-v][-f selection_file][-x option=value][sw_spec...]

Table 6-4 Update-UX Commands

Update-UX Command	Description
`-s``source_location`	Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot combination. All paths used in the `source_location` must be absolute paths. If `source_location` is a remote system and depot combination, specify the remote system first, followed by the absolute path to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces; for example: `swperf:/var/spool/sw`
`-?`	Prints the usage statement.
`-p`	Previews an update task by running the session through the analysis phase only.
`-v`	Turns on verbose output to stdout.
`-f` `selection_file`	Reads the list of software selections from `selection_file` instead of (or in addition to) the command line. This option enables you to select and update optional software or to deselect recommended software.
`-x option=value`	Specifies -x options to be applied during the update. For a typical update, no -x options are required. For information on -x options, refer to the swm (1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.
`sw_spec`	Software selections support the same syntax as the swinstall command plus the syntax described in the selection syntax section below. The following syntax is supported for *`sw_spec`: *`bundle`[,`version`] `product`[.`subproduct`][.`fileset`][,`version`] !`selection` [`bundle`]/[%match] `pattern-matching-expression`** where `version` can be: *[,r `op`* `revision`][,a `op` `arch`][,v `op` `vendor`] [,c `op` `category`] [,q=`qualifier`][,l=`location`] [,fr `op` `revision`][,fa `op` `arch`]** where `op` can be: =, ==, >=, <=, <, >, or != The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the shell wildcard and pattern-matching-expressions: *[ ], , ?** The syntax !`selection` causes that selection to be deselected even if it was listed on the command line as part of other selections.




	NOTE: Make sure to read “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3” to ensure that you are updating your system from a supported update path.

Adding and Removing Operating Environments From the Command Line

An Operating Environment (OE) represents a specific HP-UX release that can be installed on a system.

To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and include a specific HP-UX 11i v3 OE, you need to specify the OE name in the update-ux command. For example, to update to HP-UX 11i v3 and install the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE, insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD in the local drive mounted at /dvdrom. As root, enter:

/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE




	NOTE: Make sure you install all new optional software included in the OE collection that you want at the same time that you do your update.

Updating Optional Software From the Command Line

To update to HP-UX 11i v3 and specify additional optional software bundles on the command line, follow these steps:

If you want to install additional optional software included with the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE collection, enter:
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-BOE optional_software_bundle_name
Complete any configuration for HP software explained in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes available on the Instant Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html
