Develop a clear configuration plan,
including the following: Disk and file-system parameters.
The defaults for these settings match a broad set of needs,
but if necessary they can be modified early in the install process. If you plan to install
application programs other than those supplied with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5,
consider vendor size recommendations. For planning disk space, refer to these other
books: Managing Systems and Workgroups — available

| | | |  | CAUTION: If your system needs to be reinstalled at any point,
the root disk will be overwritten and all data on it will be lost.
For that reason, we recommend that you do not put user data on the
root disk. | | | | |
Root Disk | |
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 provides several file system choices for the root disk. By default, the system installs VxVM on the root
disk with VxFS file systems. Unless the system firmware supports
the edd30 command, VxVM should only be installed onto a disk located
at target 0. Once installed, you should not physically move the
VxVM root disk. Striping volumes can
be configured during the install. Mirrored volumes can not be configured during the
install. Configure mirroring after the installation is complete.
HFS file systems are not supported. Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is not supported as
root disk, use VxVM instead.
Pre-Install Data Tables | |
The pre-install data tables are located in Appendix C. How to Install HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 | |
To cold install the operating system, which overwrites
everything on the target disk: Make sure any external devices connected
to the target system are turned ON and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 DVD into the drive. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system
should boot automatically from the DVD; if it does, go directly
to step 4. IMPORTANT: If the system does not boot
automatically, you will be taken to the boot menu, which is a timed
menu -- press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run install manually from the EFI shell, as follows: Select EFI Shell (Built In)from
the boot menu. Display the list of devices by typing: map -b (The -b command line option scrolls the
screen one page at a time in the event that the device list is longer
than one page.) Look at the list of devices (displayed as fs0, fs1,
etc.) and identify the DVD-ROM device. An example of a DVD-ROM device
entry from the map command: fs0 : Acpi (PNP0A03),0)/Pci(3|1)/Ata(Secondary,Master) /CDROM(Entry1) |
The edd30 [on| off] command toggles the BIOS option to display device path
according to the EDD 3.0 specification. If the BIOS option is off,
the root disk must be located at target 0.
If the root disk is not located at target 0,
type : edd30 on to enable EDD 3.0. Then enter the command device_name:\install. For example, if the DVD-ROM device is fs0,
you would enter fs0:\install
Verify the system booted from the DVD. The bootloader
will display a message indicating you have 20 seconds to interrupt
the boot process. The AUTO file should contain the string boot :IINSTALL -c0 If the AUTO file string is different from the above, you may
have booted from the wrong device. In that case, interrupt the boot
process, enter the EFI shell. From the EFI shell, select the correct
device, as explained in step 3. Once the kernel has booted, it will scan the system
for IO devices. The system now displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen
for the HP-UX installation process. If you have used Ignite-UX on
PA systems, the remaining procedures will be familiar to you. Take a moment to read how to navigate and select choices on
this terminal interface: Use the Tab key to navigate between fields and the arrow keys to navigate
within fields. Use the Return/Enter key to select an item. Pressing Return/Enter or the space-bar opens a menu list. For Help, use Cntl-K for navigation key help and Cntl-F (or F1) for context-sensitive help. You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such
as I for install HP-UX) to navigate more quickly.
Select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install) program. From the User Interface and Media Options screen, choose the degree of customizing needed to configure
the installation. The default setting under Source Location Options (Media only installation) is correct for installing from
a DVD. Three choices are shown in User Interface Options: Guided Installation provides tutorial information and limited choices for
inexperienced Ignite-UX users. Advanced Installation enables you to customize your system on tabbed screens.
Use this mode to change VxVM settings. You may also find it convenient
to set system parameters, network services, file-system characteristics,
and other configuration details. No User Interface Use all the defaults and GO.
Ignite-UX permits you to exit from Guided Installation and restart the configuration using Advanced Installation later by either selecting the Cancel button or pressing C. Mark your choices and select OK. | | | |  | NOTE: The remaining steps take you through the Guided Installation. For help, consult the Help screens. For more help on
using Advanced Installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. | | | | |
You are now at the first step of the Install HP-UX Wizard: Select an overall system configuration. Accept the default
option: HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). Select a system environment. In this step you will choose
the type of desktop, or windowing system that will be installed
on your system. If you are unsure of which environment to choose,
the CDE (Common Desktop Environment) HP-UX Environment is recommended.
Make your selection before continuing. Select a root disk. In this step you will choose the
disk that will house your root filesystem. If you are unsure of
what to choose, keep the default selection which has been calculated
by the install program. Specify the amount of root swap space. 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. Select filesystem type. The default value chosen by
the install program is recommended. On the File System tab, choose between Whole-disk with VxFS and VxVM (HP
VERITAS Volume Manager with VxFS). The following restrictions and
limitations apply to VxVM: The VxVM
install option may be used only when installing onto a disk located
at target 0 unless the firmware supports the edd30 command. If you did not enable EDD 3.0 and you need to,
you can break out of the HP-UX Install Wizard, reboot the machine,
and start again (see step 3). If the edd30 command succeeds you may install VxVM to any target.
If the command fails, you may only install VxVM to target 0. Once installed, the VxVM root disk can not 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
sanely from it. This is similar to the limitation present in LVM.
Specify root disk volume group disks. In this step you
will specify how many disks you want placed into the root disk volume
group and whether or not you would like the disks to be striped.
(The HP-UX Install Wizard describes these features in depth.) Select language(s). Browse the available languages,
marking the desired selections. Select the user license. In this step you will select
the type of user license you wish to install on your system. This
information does not have to be exact, but should represent what
you believe to be the primary usage of your system. A minimal two-user
license is denoted here. To load licenses for more than two users,
you must use the Application DVD. Select additional software. In this step you may select
any additional software which you would like loaded onto your system.
Browse the list, marking your selections, then continue to the next
step. Pre-Install check information, Step 1. There are two
steps involved in the pre-install checks. The first is to identify
which disks will be overwritten during the install process. If you
see disk in the list that you do not want included, back up to the
root disk selection and choose another disk. Otherwise continue
on to the next step. Pre-Install check information, Step 2. The second step
in the pre-install check is to review any errors or warnings. Warnings
are simply informational. If there are any errors, they will need
to be resolved before the installation can continue. System summary. At this point you have successfully
defined your system. Use the show summary button to view a summary
of how your system will be configured. If you see any problems,
or wish to change any of your selections, feel free to back up to
the appropriate step, and make the needed changes. Otherwise, select
Finish (at the bottom of the tabs). You have the chance to Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you return to the previous
configuration screen. Next, the installation will begin with filesets being
copied from the media to the hard disk. The system will automatically
reboot during the installation process. After the system has rebooted, the Welcome to HP-UX
screen is displayed. At this point, you will need 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 have completed
the pre-install data collection tables in Appendix C, you have all
of the information you need to complete the networking section of
the install, so answer Y for yes. On the following screens, enter the basic network configuration information that
you collected in Appendix C. Depending on how you set up your parameters,
the system either will have configured them automatically or will
call the set_parms command to allow you to set the root password, date and
time, time zone, IP address, and additional network parameters. Confirm your choices. Congratulations! You are now finished
with the install procedure and will be given the opportunity to
log in to the system as root. Log in to the system. After the cold install, store the HP-UX OS DVDs
in a safe place. You may need them to install drivers or other software
later.
