NAME
update-ux - updates the HP-UX operating system from new HP-UX media
SYNOPSIS
update-ux [-i][-p][
-v] -s source_location [
-?][-x option=value ][-f software_file ]
[[sw_selections]...]
DESCRIPTION
The
update-ux command updates the HP-UX operating system to a newer version.
Use
update-ux when updating the operating system (OS), and installing or changing operating
environments (OEs). update-ux works only with source depots containing the OS and OEs such as
HP-UX 11i OE DVDs. When using other non-OE media as the source (such as AR), use swinstall (1M)
instead.
update-ux will always attempt to update the OS. In order to update a system successfully, an Operat-
ing Environment must exist in the source. A bundle name does not need to be specified on the command
line. By default, update-ux will install the software from the source that matches and updates the
software that is installed on the system. However, if a system does not contain a previous version of an
OE, one must be specified on the command line or in the interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI).
If the current OS is 11.11 or 11.22 , first install
update-ux onto the existing system. For example:
swinstall -s source_location
Update-UX
where source_location is the path to a depot containing the 11i Update-UX product.
Options
update-ux supports these options:
-i Perform the OE update in the interactive terminal user interface (TUI). For
more information, see the swm(1M) manpage.
-p Previews an update task by running the session through the analysis phase
only.
-v Turns on verbose output to stdout. (The swm logfile is not affected by this
option).
-s source_location Specify the source location. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted
DVD containing an SD depot, or a remote machine and depot combination. If
source_location is a DVD,
update-ux expects to install from one DVD. If
source_location is a remote machine and depot combination, the remote
machine should be specified first, followed by the absolute path to the remote
depot, separated by a colon with no spaces; for example:
swperf:/var/spool/sw
-? Print the usage statement.
-x option =value Set swm(1M) options.
-f software_file Read the list of sw_selections from software_file instead of (or in addition to)
the command line.
sw_selections Software selections support the same syntax as the SD commands plus the
syntax outlined in Software Selections below (see swinstall (1M) for details on
SD’s supported syntax).
Software Selections
In addition to the SD syntax, the following syntax is supported for sw_selections:
bundle
[,version]
product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version]
!selection
[bundle]/[%match]
