Os Environment; File System - HP 9000 Manual

Installing from the Ignite-UX Server
Configuring the Installation
• Respond Yes if you wish to re-use some or all of the configuration that
you used in the previous session.
• Respond No if you want to use an entirely new configuration.
This screen shows all the basic information for setting up the file system
and for loading the Operating System (OS) environment. It also allows
you to configure languages, locale, and keyboard requirements. A"Save
As..." button also appears, for saving configurations for later use.

OS Environment

Select the operating system environment from the choices available in
the list. The choices and defaults depend on the releases available on the
server, and may include, for example, Common Desktop Environment
(CDE) as the default.

File System

Select one of the following:
• "Whole Disk (not LVM)" This may be the appropriate choice for
single-disk systems.
• "Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with HFS (High-Performance File
System)" This selection will format multi-disk systems to combine the
disk space into a single, large disk pool, and then allocate volumes as
needed. The root volume in this case and the swap must be on the
same physical volume, and will be so configured by Ignite-UX. "HFS"
is the standard file system format. The File System tab will give you
additional opportunities to configure the LVM volumes. In the File
System tab, you can edit the sizes of LVM partitions, or use the values
that Ignite-UX computes for you.
• "Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with VxFS" (Journaled File System)
This will format multi-disk systems to combine the disk space into a
single, large disk pool, and then allocate volumes as needed. "VxFS"
is the same as the Journaled File System (JFS), and allows file
system size to be changed after installation. With the optional HP
OnlineJFS you can resize, defragment, or make a "snapshot" of a
mounted file system.
See the "File System Tab" section for detailed information on File System
configuration.
