Make sure you have obtained the HP-UX tape or CD-ROM that matches your source device type. Note that applications requiring codewords will be on a separate CD. If your HP-UX product has multiple licenses, the installation process will install the most restrictive license unless you load a higher level license from the applications CD-ROM.

Using Software Bundles

The software "bundle" is a collection of filesets that have been encapsulated by HP for a specific purpose. These bundles make it easier to load several filesets onto your system as a single entity using the new SD-UX Software Distribution Commands (swinstall, swcopy, swremove, etc.). Bundles can be kept in SD-UX depots and copied, installed, removed, listed, configured and verified. All HP-UX 10.20 OS software is packaged in bundles to make it easier to install. See Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX (HP Part Number B2355-90080) for more information on SD-UX commands, bundles and depots.

A bundle is used in the same way as the pre-10.20 "partition", except that a bundle can contain filesets from several different products. In general, performing a single operation on a bundle is the same as performing it individually on all the filesets listed in the bundle.

Bundles do not eliminate your ability to choose which initial products and filesets you wish to load on your system. You may still do this by interacting with the swinstall utility (see “Loading the Core Operating System ”, in Chapter 2 “Installing HP-UX ”)
