•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 continue 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.
