Cold-installing HP-UX 11i
This section describes cold-installing from the HP-UX 11i CDs, including
the operating system, a selected Operating Environment (OE) bundle,
network drivers, CDE language bundle, diagnostics and required
patches from the Support Plus CD. The overall process is shown on the
next page, along with alternate methods of cold-installing 11i:
• Installing from software depot(s) — Use Software Distributor
commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software
bundles, then install from the depots. For help with this method, see
the swinstall(1M) manpage and the Software Distributor
Administration Guide available on the Instant Information CD.
• Installing from golden images — If you need to install the same
OS/OE and applications on many systems in your network, use an
Ignite-UX server as explained in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide
available on the Instant Information CD. With Ignite-UX, you can
create a single install image (golden image) containing OS/OE
bundles, application bundles and patch bundles, then install the
image on multiple systems in your environment.
• If you're new HP 9000 system was factory installed (we call this
"factory integrated"), the cold-installation process described here has
already been performed. Skip this chapter and proceed to install
application software.
HP-UX must be installed on the boot disk assigned to each partition
after the partition has been configured. Configuring the boot disk is
explained in the Managing Superdome Complexes manual, available on
the HP-UX 11i Instant Information CD and on HP's user-documentation
Web listed above.
Once each partition has been configured for installation, follow the
cold-installation instruction on the following pages to install HP-UX on
each partition's boot disk.
Although the Netscape Directory Server (NDS) is included in HP-UX 11i
OEs, you must explicitly select NDS during the install or update process
described next to install it. If you do not select NDS, it will not be
installed with 11i. For more on this, see "Updating Netscape Directory
Server" on page 67.
