Needing More Disk Space?

Needing More Disk Space?
This section provides hints and information to help you determine your
disk needs for HP-UX 11i. If you need more disk space (HP-UX 11i
generally requires a 4GB root volume), be sure to order the equipment
and plan on installing it after backing up your current system as
explained later in this chapter.
• Record the hardware path to the CD drive.
• Develop a clear configuration plan, including:
— File system sizes.
— Swap space size.
— Dump device.
— Disk and file-system parameters.
— Mirroring information.
• If installing application programs other than those supplied within
an HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE), consider the vendor's
size recommendations.
• When planning disk space, refer to these books:
— Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for System
Administrators or Managing HP Superdome Complexes — Both
manuals are available on the HP-UX 11i Instant Information CD
and at:
docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90701/B2355-90701.html
— Disk and File Management Tasks on HP-UX — Prentice-Hall
Hewlett-Packard Professional Books, 1997.
To update your HP 9000 server or workstation to HP-UX 11i, it must
have the following:
• Existing OS: HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0. If your system is running
another HP-UX release, you must first update it to HP-UX 10.20 or
11.0 before following these steps to update to 11i. See "Migrating
from Previous HP-UX Releases" on page 17 for more information.
