Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3

If the install detects that you have a PS2 or USB keyboard, the system displays the Language Mapping screen. Select the number of the language you want to use, for example, 26 and then press Enter to confirm your choice.

In order to use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a
language mapping which will be used by X windows and the Internal
Terminal Emulator (ITE). The characters “1234567890” will appear as
 
“!@#$^&*()” on keyboards that use the shift key to type a number.
Your choice will be stored in the file /etc/kbdlang

From the Ignite-UX Welcome screen, select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install) program and then press Enter. The system displays the User Interface and Media Options.

From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree of customizing needed to configure the installation. Mark your choices and select OK.

The remaining sections take you through the Media only installation option and the Guided Installation option.

From the Install HP-UX Wizard screen, select an overall system configuration. Press Next to accept the default option, HP-UX B.11.31 Default. The system displays the System Environment screen.

From the System Environment screen, select the type of operating environment you want to install on your system. Press Enter to view the choices. Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Root Disk screen.

Please note that you can select additional software to install from the Select Additional Software screen, described in “Task 4: Selecting and Deselecting Software Bundles ”.

On the Root Disk screen select the disk to store your root file system. For HP-UX 11i v3, the root disk must be at least 9 GB. Press Enter to view the choices. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep the default selection that has been calculated by the install program.

HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming scheme for Root Disks. Please note that the Root Disk screen displays the lunpath hardware path instead of the legacy hardware path. You can select More Info to view the legacy hardware path for the root disk selected.

For more information, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available at the HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Root Swap Space screen.

	NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify the Root Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then be used as boot path. Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath hardware path to the disk used as boot path.

On the Root Swap Space screen, specify the amount of disk space you need to reserve for root swap. Some initial calculations have been performed by the install program, and a recommended value has been set for you. You can either accept this value or change it before continuing.

Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the File System Type screen.

On the File System Type screen, select the type of file system you want to use. Unless you have other requirements, use the default value chosen by the install program. Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Root Disk/Volume Group Disks screen.

	NOTE: If you select VxVM or LVM, the root disk cannot be moved to another SCSI bus or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the device. If it is moved, you may not be able to boot safely from it. This is similar to the limitation present in LVM.

On the Root Disk/Volume Group Disks screen, s pecify how many disks you want placed into the root volume group. If you have more than one disk, you may select Yes to choose the Striping option. Please note that if you need to select which disks to use, you must cancel the Guided Installation and use the Advanced Installation interface.

Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Languages screen.

On the Languages screen, make sure HPUXLocales(OE) is marked Yes. In addition, make sure the default language shown on this screen is the language you wish to install. Press Enter to view the choices.

The locale settings that were previously in HP-UX 11i v2 and located in the CDE language bundle are now located in the HPUXLocales bundle. The HPUXLocales bundle contains internationalization support for many languages. This support includes date and time formats, currency, sorting methods, and so on.

Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Additional Software.

	NOTE: CDE is an optional product in HP-UX 11i v3. If you require it, you must explicitly select the CDE bundle (CDE-XXX). This applies if you need dtterm, which is located in CDE. For some localization situations, dtterm is required, therefore CDE must be selected. CDE is listed in Table C-3 “Optional Software” in Appendix C “HP-UX 11i v3 Software Bundles”.

On the Additional Software screen, you can deselect the software bundles that are recommended and select optional software not installed by default. Browse the product list, marking your selections, then press Next to accept your selections and proceed to the Security Choices screen.

HP-UX 11i v3 offers several product categories from which you can select additional software. In addition, each product category contains software components that are marked as required, recommended, or optional software components. See “Task 4: Selecting and Deselecting Software Bundles ” for more information on these product categories and required, recommended, and optional software components.

HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles are not required for your operating environment.

On the Security Choices screen, select the appropriate security setting for your system based on the information in the section called, “Security Considerations”. Please note that four security levels are displayed. By default, Sec00Tools is selected.

Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Pre-Install Disk Information screen.

On the Pre-Install Disk Information screen, identify which disks will be overwritten during the install process. If you see a disk in the list that you do not want included, back up to the root disk selection and choose another disk; otherwise, press Next to proceed to the Pre-Install Check Information screen.

On the Pre-Install Check Information screen, review any errors, warnings, or notes. Warnings are simply informational. If any errors are displayed, they will need to be resolved before you can continue the installation.

Press Next to proceed to the System Summary screen.

On the System Summary screen, tab to Show Summary and press Enter to to view a summary of how your system will be configured. If you see any problems, or want to change any of your selections, back up to the appropriate step, and make the needed changes; otherwise select Finish (at the bottom of the screen) to begin the cold-install process. You can Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you can start again.

In the Guided Installation or Advanced Installation windows, select the Software Tab tab.

To improve the software selection process, HP-UX 11i v3 offers the following product categories from which you can select:

Each of the product categories listed above contain software bundles that are further separated into the following categories:

Use the arrow keys to select a bundle and the spacebar to change the option.

To install a minimal operating system configuration (base OS) you can deselect the recommended bundles. Only the minimal core OS will be installed on your system when you deselect the recommended bundles. You can use the OE Recommended software product category to select or deselect all recommended items.

HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles are not required for your operating environment.

For information about the software bundles, see Appendix C “HP-UX 11i v3 Software Bundles”.

If your system has a PS2 or USB keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26.

You are prompted to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network. If you completed the pre-install data collection tables (see “Before You Begin”) you have all the information you need for set_parms, so answer Y for yes.

Enter the basic network information that you collected in Table 5-1 “Miscellaneous Data” on the screens that are displayed.

Confirm your choices. You are now finished with the install procedures and presented with a login screen. Log in to the system as root.

After the cold-install, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may need them to install drivers or other software later.
