[. . . ] HP Response Center engineers recommend loading the Quality Pack as the first step in resolving common HP-UX 10. 20 software problems. 3 New Features /Functionality VISUALIZE-fxe VISUALIZE-fxe is HP's new entry-level, low cost, full-featured 3D graphics card which replaces the Visualize-fx2 and VisualizeEG (8 plane, 2D) products. It is a full 24-bit true color graphics device for both 2D and 3D applications and markets. USB Devices New four-port USB Hub (D6804A) and a three-button (no scroll wheel) USB Mouse. The USB Mouse is part of the A4983 USB Kit. [. . . ] If you load individual patches from the Workstation ACE or the Networking ACE, the on-line Installed Product Database will not indicate that the ACE bundle is installed. This booklet focuses on the case of loading the ACE software from a CD-ROM. However, most of the instructions also apply to DDS (tape) media or updating from a remote depot across a network. The only difference is the specification of the Source Depot Type. Installing Patches on a System with ACE Software When the ACE software is loaded on your computer, exercise caution in applying patches from other sources. Before adding any patch to HP-UX, you should compare it to the list of component patches in the ACE bundle. (You can find this information in the Release Notes document for the ACE software. Also consult 8 the text files in the directory /tmp/PHTXT. ) WARNING Do not "force" the loading of any patch that is superseded by a patch in an ACE bundle or Quality Pack. Loading an earlier version of one of these ACE patches may delete new features from your system. This action could leave your computer in a nonfunctional state. If you cannot determine whether a specific patch is newer than the ACE software, contact your local HP Country Response Center or HP Sales and Service office for assistance. After your workstation has rebooted, you may proceed with the instructions on "Loading the Quality Pack", which occur later in this booklet. See the section below on Verifying Installation of ACE 12 Software for information about how to determine what ACE software is loaded on a system. Updating HP-UX with ACE Software If you are already running HP-UX 10. 20, you are ready to use SD-UX to load ACE software on your system. NOTE The update process for ACE bundles now involves loading software from two CD-ROMs, if you load the Quality Pack. The necessary discs are included in the box with this booklet. Load the Install/Update/Recovery CD-ROM in your drive and mount it, if necessary. (You can use SAM to perform this operation, but make sure you uncheck the "Mount at Every System Boot" option. ) 2. Select Software Management from the main SAM menu. Select Install Software to Local Host to invoke swinstall. 13 4. Specify the following information: Source Depot Type: Local CDROM (If you are loading software from DDS media, then select Local Tape option. ) Source Host Name: <hostname> Source Depot Path: <CD mount path> After verifying that this information is correct, select the "OK" button. SAM will list the software bundles and products on the CD. [. . . ] If you are ready to continue, select "OK" to install the Quality Pack. Following the install phase, the swinstall command will reboot your workstation. (This is necessary because the Quality Pack contains kernel patches. ) 9. After your system has rebooted, you have finished updating with the ACE software. [. . . ]
