Screen May Lock During Update

When updating a system having a graphics console with Common Desktop Environment (CDE) enabled from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11.0, the screen may go blank and the sys- tem will begin beeping. This problem is caused by the screen being automatically locked by CDE after a preset idle time. To avoid this problem, turn CDE’s screen lock off before entering the swinstall command to update to HP-UX 11.0.

To turn the screen lock off, select CDE Style Manager -> Screen. Then click Screen Lock: Off and OK.

If you do not turn the screen lock off, the update will con- tinue with the system beeping until the update is complete. You will see the Display Locked window.

Cold Installing over a Network?

When you cold install HP-UX 11.0 on a disk via a Fibre- Channel network, you must select the appropriate Fibre Channel card drivers during the cold-install process. For example, you would do this if your system boots from a remote disk drive rather than a local drive. The drivers are now available on the HP-UX 11.0 Install/Update/Recovery CD. Failing to select the needed drivers will prevent your system from booting from the remote drive after cold install- ing HP-UX 11.0 on it.
