With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i v1, you can choose to either cold-install or update from either CD-ROM or DVD media. Digital Versatile Disks (DVD) provide you with several benefits compared to CD-ROM:

  • fewer disks containing all of the data needed to install or update to HP-UX 11i v1

  • no disks to shuffle during installation - all of the core HP-UX 11i v1 operating system software is contained on one DVD

  • fewer installation steps

  • shortened installation times

DVD Availability

DVD drives are now available for both PA-RISC servers and workstations. Contact your HP Customer Engineer for more details about your system's requirements.

How is the New DVD Packaging Organized?

Because DVDs can hold significantly more data (over 4GB vs. 650MB for CD-ROM), the HP-UX 11i v1 operating environment, and all of the HP-UX 11i v1 applications have been optimized to fit on 1 DVD each. Figure 2-1 “Comparison of CD-ROM and DVD Packaging” shows you the differences between CD-ROM and DVD packaging:
