update-ux(1M)update-ux(1M)NAMEupdate-ux - updates the HP-UX operating system from new HP-UX media
SYNOPSIS
option=value] software_file] [[sw_selections]...]
DESCRIPTION
The command updates the HP-UX operating system to a newer version.
Use when updating the operating system (OS), and installing or changing
operating environments (OEs). 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.
will always attempt to update the OS. In order to update a system suc‐
cessfully, an Operating 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 speci‐
fied on the command line or in the interactive Terminal User Interface
(TUI).
If the current OS is 11.11 or 11.22 , first install onto the existing
system. For example:
source_location
where source_location is the path to a depot containing the 11i Update-
UX product.
Options
supports these options:
Perform the OE update in the interactive terminal user interface
(TUI). For
more information, see the swm(1M) manpage.
Previews an update task by running the session through the anal‐
ysis phase only.
Turns on verbose output to stdout. (The
logfile is not affected by
this option).
Specify the source location. Possible locations
are a local
directory, a mounted DVD con‐
taining an SD depot, or a
remote machine and depot com‐
bination. If source_location
is a DVD, expects to install
from one DVD. If source_loca‐
tion is a remote machine and
depot combination, the remote
machine should be specified
first, followed by the abso‐
lute path to the remote depot,
separated by a colon with no
spaces; for example:
Print the usage statement.
Set swm(1M) options.
Read the list of sw_selections from soft‐
ware_file instead of (or in
addition to) the command line.
sw_selections Software selections support
the same syntax as the SD com‐
mands plus the syntax outlined
in 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
pattern-matching-expression
Where version can be:
Where op can be:
or
The (equals) relational operator lets you specify selec‐
tions with the shell wildcard and pattern-matching-
expressions:
The syntax causes that selection to be deselected even if
it was listed on the command line as part of other selec‐
tions.
RETURN VALUE
The command returns a value when it is not successful:
Error during execution; update aborted.
DIAGNOSTICS
Standard Output:
An session writes messages for significant events,
including:
· Begin-session and end-session messages.
· Major task messages.

EXAMPLES
To update from the OE depot on an HP-UX 11i OE DVD
mounted at enter:
The example above updates the HP-UX 11i Operating
Environment (OE).
To install all bundles and products in sw_server that
match and update software that is installed on the sys‐
tem:
Which is equivalent to:
The syntax selects all software in the source that
matches what is already installed on the system.
To select only software in HPUX11i-OE that matches the
software on the target system:
The syntax selects only software in the specified
bundle that matches what is already installed on
the system.
To update to HPUX11i-OE and include the HP-UX Bastille
Security Configuration bundle:
To interactively select software for an update, use the
option:
To update the operating environment (OE), explicitly to
the MCOE:
To update all the software that is part of the OE except
Mozilla:
To select all of HPUX11i-OE except for Perl, which is
part of HPUX11i-OE, you could specify the following:
The only exception to this is if the selection is
in the Operating Environment's required contents
list, in which case it cannot be deselected with‐
out deselecting all of the Operating Environment.
Note that deselections have precedence over selec‐
tions. Thus the order is not important. The
example above would be the same as the following
command:
