You will need a 7.1.1 media kit, but at the time no license was required to
upgrade from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1.

With cd #2 in the drive install the upgrade software

pkgadd -d cdrom1 uli

and then run it

As always backup and verify first.  If that went well, reboot and add the
patches from cd #2

pkgadd -d cdrom1 set71101

Do not reboot, you need to add ptf7632 first ( was at the ptf7632e version
last time I checked ).  Then you can reboot.  If this is a ProLiant server
make sure to remove the EFS before doing the upgrade, and installing it
after the patches.  If you have three or more network cards installed you
may have to uninstall and reinstall them in netcfg.

There is another around 40 patches for 7.1.1, most of them should be installed.
Some are hardware or driver specific and may not be of use.
