Updating from vPars A.03.xx to A.05.xx

At the time of this publication, updating directly from vPars A.03.xx to A.05.xx is not supported because the Update-UX tool does not support updating directly from 11i v1 (11.11) to 11i v3 (11.31). However, as a general workaround, you can attempt the following process. However, there are many differences not only between vPars A.03.xx and A.05.xx, but also between 11.11 and 11.31. Be sure to read the applicable release notes for your given hardware (server, cards, and expansion units), operating system, and vPars software. If you need help, contact your HP Support Representative.

Note that there is no update software process to move from PA to Integrity servers.
