Chapter 5 Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v1

Time Estimate for This Chapter: Approximately 2-3 hours, depending on your system and whether you are installing the HP-UX operating system (OS) or an HP-UX Operating Environment (OE).

	NOTE: For customers ordering new systems with the Instant Ignition option (also known as factory ignited), the cold-installation process described here has already been performed. Skip this chapter and proceed to Chapter 8 “Verifying System Install or Update”.

	CAUTION: The cold-install process overwrites everything on the root (/) disk. Make sure you completed backups in “Backing Up Your System”.
