When you have completed the OS installation steps, the system
will automatically reboot from the new system disk. Then you will
be ready to start building (or re-building) your system by installing
other software and data files, setting up printing facilities and
connecting additional peripherals, as needed.
To verify that you have HP-UX 10.20 (ACE or HWE) running
on your system, execute the following command:
Listing Installed Applications |
 |
You can list the contents of your install or update media
at various levels of detail by using the List button or the View
menu during an installation or update. To list all applications
on your system, after HP-UX is installed and booted, type the following:
This will list all SD-UX format software application bundles
that have been installed in the "/"
directory on your system. To determine if ACE or Hardware Extension
bundles are installed, pipe the command to grep ACE|HWE.
The swlist
utility creates customizable lists of software products that are
installed on your local host or software that is placed in depots
for later distribution. See the Managing HP-UX Software
with SD-UX (HP Part No. B2355-90080) manual or the manpages
for swlist for
more information.
You can also use swlist
with your install media to obtain a listing of bundles and products.
Removing Unwanted Software/Filesets |
|
If it is necessary to remove software that has been installed
on your system, use the swremove
utility. The swremove
utility also unconfigures the software as it removes it.
It is possible to remove your 10.20 ACE or Hardware Extension
software, although the system may have to manually rebooted, as
follows:
Use swremove
to remove the appropriate ACE bundle.
Exit swremove session
after the bundle is removed.
After the system has rebooted, the software will have been
successfully removed from the system.
Another method of removing filesets from your system is to
use the HP-UX freedisk
command. The freedisk
command invokes an interactive script that finds and optionally
removes filesets that do not appear to have been used since they
were originally installed by swinstall.
This command is best run AFTER your new system has been
in operation for some time. See the manpage on freedisk
for more information. Note, you should be familiar with the swremove
command before you use freedisk.
Creating a Recovery System |
|
You should immediately make a recovery version of your new
system after you have successfully installed it. This will help
you recover your system in case of problems. The Support
Media User's Guide provides instructions on how to use
the COPYUTIL
disk copy utility to make an image of your system disk after installation.
The manual is included in the Support Media available through Subscription
Services or orderable from HP. You can also find information on
restoring and backing up your system in the manual HP-UX
System Administration Tasks.
Installing Extension Software |
|
The Extension Software which comes with HP-UX contains essential
patches and hardware-specific updates for the current version of
HP-UX. If you are updating with the HP-UX Extension Software, please
go to “Updating HP-UX Software ” and “Using HP-UX Extension Software ”, in this chapter, to get
information. The system will automatically reboot after updating
with kernel-related Extension Software.
Installing Applications Software |
|
For the procedures for installing additional software from
CD-ROM or network depots, see “Updating HP-UX Software ”,
in Chapter 3 “Updating HP-UX” in this manual.
Or see the manual Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX.
You will also find further instructions on building your system
in the System Administration Tasks manual.
