Tasks to Complete af.t.er Installation
Once you've installed the operating system, you can start providing for your
users. You need to complete the following tasks right away:
1. Review /tmp/update .log.
2. If you started the install with an old operating system (HP-UX 6.2 or
earlier), restore any files you saved before you began the installation.
3. Add users to the system by running /usr /bin/ sam.
4. If the system is to be a cluster server, use /usr/bin/sam to convert it to a
cluster server and add cnodes.
For information on restoring files, adding users, and converting the system to a
cluster server, see the System Administration Tasks Manual.
Depending on the software you loaded, you may also need to complete these
tasks:
•
1. Configure networking and applications. You might have loaded then1
during the installation process, or you might need to load them separately
using / etc/update. For configuration details, refer to the documentation
for those subsystems. For information on / etc/update, see the System
Administration Tasks Manual.
2. Configure the system for the XII windowing system if you loaded it during
installation (see Installing X on the Series 300).
3. Install peripherals (see Installing Peripherals).
Regarding these tasks, you might have various questions:
• Where do I get related information?
• How do I administer an HP -UX system?
• What constitutes efficient use of an HP-UX system?
• How do I backup the system and support users?
The manuals for system administration and for particular applications or
subsystems will help answer most of these questions. For the documentation to
help you manage and use HP-UX, see the manual Finding HP- UX Information
(Series 300).
