This section describes cold-installing from the HP-UX 11i v3
DVDs. Before you begin, review Appendix A for any installation issues that apply
to your system. This section contains the following tasks: Required Media. Have these DVDs ready from the HP-UX 11i v3 media kit: HP-UX 11i v3 Applications DVD
| | | |  | CAUTION: Cold-installing overwrites everything on the target disk(s). | | | | |
Before You Begin | |
Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, you need to collect information
about your existing system. This section contains tables where you
can record information. Then, when you are installing HP-UX 11i v3,
you use information from the Miscellaneous Data and Network Data collection
tables when needed. Use the collection tables: If you chose the Advanced Installation, an interface
gives you the opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning
of the install. The Advanced Installation also gives you more control
over file system configuration. The interface is a tabbed file-folder
and character-based. If you choose to network-enable your system, you must
designate a unique host name, host Internet Protocol (IP) address,
and other network information for your server. Contact
your site network administrator for the details to include in these
tables.
| | | |  | NOTE: During an installation, Ignite-UX configures the root, dump,
and swap devices with the new HP-UX 11i v3 mass storage stack agile
addressing representation. This means that, after installing, the
commands that display the boot, dump, and swap devices will show them
using the agile form. During a cold-install of HP-UX 11i v3, both
legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically created. By default,
the installation process will configure system devices like the boot,
root, swap, and dump devices to use persistent DSFs. For more information
on the new mass storage stack, see the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 at: http://docs.hp.com/ | | | | |
Miscellaneous Data Collection TableTable 5-1 may contain some items that
are not familiar to you, but you will be prompted for this information
during the install. The install process describes all options in detail, so you
can defer making decisions about items that are unfamiliar to you
until you reach that point in the install. Table 5-1 Miscellaneous Data Type of Data | Your Specific Data |
|---|
| Root Disk Path NOTE: Your root disk will typically display
a legacy style Path name. However, HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming
scheme for Root Disks. Please refer to the white paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 for
information on how to identify your legacy root disk device name in
the agile HP-UX 11i v3 naming scheme. You can display the legacy hardware
path using the More Info screen to
show details on a specific lunpath hardware path. | | | Root Swap Space | | | Filesystem Type LVM, VxVM w/VxFS,
or Whole disk with VxFS | | | Root Disk Volume Group Disks (How
many disks you want placed into the root disk volume group and whether
or not you want the disks to be striped or mirrored?) | | | Select additional software | | Pre-Installed Disk Information
(Is overwritten during the install disk; see Root Disk Path) | |
Network Data Collection TableTable 5-2 provides
HP-UX commands that you can use after the install to confirm specific
information. Table 5-2 Network Data Type of Data | Your Specific Data | HP-UX Command to Confirm Data After System is Up
and Running |
|---|
| Host Name | | uname -n/hostname | | Host IP Address | | nslookup hostname | | Subnet Mask | | grep SUBNET_MASK /etc/rc.config.d/netconf | | Default Gateway IP Address | | grep ROUTE_GATEWAY
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf | | Domain Name | | cat /etc/resolv.conf | | DNS IP Address | | cat /etc/resolv.conf | | NIS Domain Name | | grep NIS_DOMAIN /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs |
Task 1: Booting Your Machine | |
This task describes how to boot your system from the install
media. If you want to boot an Itanium-based system, follow the instructions
in the section called, Booting Your Itanium-based System below. If you want to boot a PA-RISC system, follow the instructions
in “Booting Your PA-RISC System”. Booting Your Itanium-based SystemMake sure any external devices
that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target
system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk
1) into the drive. Turn the system on, reboot, or
cycle power. If the system boots automatically, the kernel scans
the system for I/O devices. If the system does not boot automatically, it goes
to the boot menu. It is a timed menu; press any key to stop the timer.
Then, you can run the install manually from the EFI shell using the
following steps:
From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built
In). At the EFI shell prompt, specify the device name (for
example, fs1:) for the DVD-ROM and then enter the EFI install command,
as in the following example If the device is not automatically
selected, select the device name for the DVD-ROM and then execute install. For example, from the EFI shell prompt, you may
see something similar to the following: Shell> fs1: fs1:\> install If you do not see the DVD-ROM device, use the map command to list all device names from the EFI shell prompt. The list of devices is displayed automatically, and the install
process selects the device for you.
| | | | | NOTE: Your DVD device may not always be fs1. Make sure you verify the ID appropriate to your DVD device. | | | | |
After the kernel has booted, it scans the system for I/O devices. Booting Your PA-RISC SystemMake sure any external devices
that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target
system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD into
the drive. Stop the autoboot by pressing any
key. The boot console menu is displayed. If you need help,
enter: HELP Ensure that Fast Boot is enabled. Select the Configuration Menu: CO If the Fast Boot selection is available, switch Fast
Boot ON: FB ON Return to the Main Menu: MA (Remember to switch Fast Boot back OFF after installing HP-UX 11i.) The full memory check that is run when Fast Boot is OFF may
take several hours on a large system.
Search for bootable devices, using
the choices displayed (for example, enter searchorsea). A table similar to this is displayed: Path# Device Path Device Type
----- ----------- -----------
P0 SCSI HP DVD-ROM
P1 LAN.1.2.3.4.5.6 1.2.3.4
P2 FWSCSI.6.0 IBM DDRS-34560WS |
Of the media listed, a fast/wide SCSI device (FWSCSI) is usually a disk, whereas a single-ended
SCSI device (SCSI) can be a disk
or CD/DVD drive. | | | | | NOTE: The search or sea command will only display legacy hardware paths and will not display
agile hardware paths. You will see the agile hardware path after booting
your system. Please note that both forms of hardware paths are supported
(legacy and agile) and you can specify either hardware path in the Boot command. However, only the legacy hardware path can
be displayed from the Search command. | | | | |
For a legacy hardware
path, boot from the DVD drive using the listed path number. For the
drive shown in the previous example (P0), enter: BOOT P0 Please note that if you know the
agile hardware path, you may enter it as well, however it requires
a specific format compatible with the BCH interface limited to 32-bit
elements. Use the command, ioscan -e to display
the boot path format to be used here to enter a lunpath hardware path
in the BOOT command. For an agile hardware path, boot from the DVD drive using the
full agile hardware path name: BOOT full_hardware_path For more information on agile hardware paths, refer to the white
paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX
11i v3 at the HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com/ After a few minutes, at the Interact with IPL? prompt press n. The install kernel loads (3-5 minutes), after which
a screen might prompt you to enter the keyboard language of your console. Enter the number and press Enter again to confirm.
Task 2: Selecting Your Installation Type | |
The system displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen for the
HP-UX installation process. When the initial Ignite-UX welcome screen
appears, 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 Enter key to select an item.
Pressing Enter or the spacebar opens a menu list. For Help, use Ctrl-K for navigation
key help and Ctrl-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.
The remainder of this section describes how to choose the degree
of customization needed to configure your installation. If the install detects that you
have a PS2 or USB keyboard, the system displays the Language
Mapping screen. Select the number of the language you want
to use, for example, 26 and then
press Enter to confirm your choice. |
In order to use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a
language mapping which will be used by X windows and the Internal
Terminal Emulator (ITE). The characters “1234567890” will appear as
“!@#$^&*()” on keyboards that use the shift key to type a number.
Your choice will be stored in the file /etc/kbdlang
1) USB_PS2_DIN_Belgian 2)USB_PS2_DIN_Belgian_Euro
3) USB_PS2_DIN_Danish 4)USB_PS2_DIN_Danish_Euro

From the Ignite-UX Welcome screen, select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX
(cold-install) program and then press Enter. The
system displays the User Interface and Media
Options. From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree
of customizing needed to configure the installation. Mark your choices
and select OK. Select from one of the three choices shown in Source Location Options: Media only installation is the default setting for installing from a DVD. Media with network enabled is recommended when you want basic networking enabled during installation
so you can load software from a network depot (when an Ignite-UX server
is not available). Ignite-UX server based installation is recommended if you have an Ignite-UX server configured on your
network and you want to supply custom configurations during the installation.
Select from one of the choices shown in User Interface Options: Guided Installation provides limited system configuration and is expected to be deprecated
in a future release. Advanced Installation enables you to accept all the default installation parameters or
fully customize your system such as configuring multiple disks and
adjusting file system sizes. HP recommends choosing the Advanced Installation
option to configure your installation. No User Interface is recommended if you want to accept all the default installation
parameters and you do not need to verify the configuration using the
user interface.
The remaining sections take you through the Media only installation option and the Advanced Installation option. For more help on using
the Advanced Installation screens, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
Task 3: Configuring Your Installation | |
At this point, the system displays the Basic tab of the Ignite-UX itool Terminal User Interface
(TUI) for the HP-UX Advanced installation process. The Basic tab shows all the basic information for
setting up the file system and for loading the Operating Environment.
It also allows you to configure languages, locale, and keyboard requirements. In the Configurations field select
an overall system configuration that you want to use for this installation. In the Environments field, select
the type of Operating Environment you want to install on your system.
Press Enter to view the choices. In the Root Disk field, select
the disk to store your root file system. Press Enter to view the choices. If you are unsure of what to
choose, keep the default selection that has been determined by Ignite-UX. HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming scheme for Root Disks. Please
note that the Root Disk screen displays the lunpath
hardware path instead of the legacy hardware path. You can select More Info to view the legacy hardware path for the root
disk selected. For more information, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide available at the HP Technical Documentation Web
site: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html | | | | | NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify
the Root Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then
be used as boot path. Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath
hardware path to the disk used as boot path. | | | | |
In the File System field, select
the type of volume manager and file system you want to use for your
root disk. Press Enter to view the
choices. Unless you have other requirements, use the default value
chosen by Ignite-UX. In the Languages field, press Enter to browse the available languages, marking
the desired selections.You can make any of the selections the system
default language. This will become the system default language after
it is installed. Make sure HPUXLocales is marked Yes. The locale settings that
were previously in HP-UX 11i v2 and located in the CDE language bundle
are now located in the HPUXLocales bundle. The HPUXLocales bundle contains internationalization support
for many languages. This support includes date and time formats, currency,
sorting methods, and so on. | | | | | NOTE: CDE is an optional product in HP-UX 11i v3. If you require it,
you must explicitly select the CDE bundle (CDE-XXX). This applies if you need dtterm, which is located
in CDE. For some localization situations, dtterm is required, therefore CDE must be selected. | | | | |
Use the Software tab to change
the software that will be installed on your system, if desired. If
you chose the No User Interface option, then you cannot deselect the
default-installed software bundles. To select or deselect
the software bundles: Navigate to the Software tab. Select any additional software that you want loaded
onto your system and deselect any default-installed software that
you do not want loaded on your system. Browse the list, marking your
selections. Use the arrow keys to select a bundle and the spacebar
to change the option. To improve the software selection process, HP-UX 11i
v3 offers the following product categories from which you can select:
Table 5-3 HP-UX 11i v3 Software Product Categories Software Category | Description |
|---|
CompilersDevelopment | Compilers and Development Tools | CoreOS | Core HP-UX Functionality | Desktop | Desktop Environments | DisksFileSystems | File Systems and Volume Mgmt | Drivers | I/O Drivers | HighAvailability | High Availability | InetServices | Internet Services | Internet | Internet Software Tools | Interoperability | Computing Interoperability Tools | Java | Java Tools and Utilities | Localization | Localization | Manuals | HP-UX Manual Pages | Migration | Migration to HP-UX Tools | Networking | Networking Infrastructure | Obsolescence | Product Obsolescence | Performance | Performance Tools | Security | Security Tools | SecurityChoices | Security Level Choices | SupportTools | Diagnostic and Support Tools | SystemManagement | System Management Tools | Utilities | Miscellaneous Utilities | | OE Optional | All optional bundles in the OE | | OE Recommended | All recommended bundles in the OE | | OE Required | All required bundles in the OE |
Each of the product categories listed in the table above contain
software bundles that are further separated into the following categories: OE Required: Software that is
required and is always installed with the operating system. Software
in this category cannot be deselected. OE Recommended: Software that
is recommended and should be installed because it fulfills the required
software dependencies, if any exist. Software in this category can
be deselected. OE Optional: Software that does
not have to be installed. You can choose to select the desired software
bundles prior to installing your system. .
To install a minimal operating system configuration (base OS)
you can deselect the recommended bundles. Only the minimal core OS
will be installed on your system when you deselect the recommended
bundles. You can use the OE Recommended software
product category to select or deselect all recommended items. | | | | | CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software bundles or remove them from your system
unless you know for certain that the software contained in these bundles
is not required for your operating environment. In addition, software
may have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software may prevent products
with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning
correctly. | | | | |
Use the System tab to configure
system parameters such as security levels, host name, IP address,
root password, and the time zone. You must set the appropriate security
setting for your system at this time; you can choose to set the other
system parameters now or at the first boot of your system, using set_parms(1M). To set the appropriate security settings for your system, do
the following: Navigate to the System tab and select Security Choices. The four security levels appear. By default, Sec00Tools is selected. Select the appropriate security setting for your system.
Use the File System tab to perform
a variety of file-system and disk-configuration tasks: for example
resizing file systems and adding and removing disks. You can also
re-configure the volume structure and associated file system mount
points. The File System tab will differ in appearance, depending on
whether you previously selected LVM or whole disk on the Basic tab. Please note that renaming or changing any disk file system structure
on which Ignite-UX installs file system content causes the old file
system on that disk to be lost. For more information on using the
File System tab, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide. Use the Show Summary button to
view a summary of how your system will be configured. If you see any
problems, or want to change any of your selections, back up to the
appropriate step, and make the needed changes; otherwise select Go!
(at the bottom of the screen) to initiate the installation. Ignite-UX
executes a pre-installation consistency check to identify any errors
that must be corrected before the installation can proceed. The system typically displays the
Confirmation Dialog box that lists errors, warnings and notes for
the configuration settings. Review any errors, warnings, or notes
displayed in the Confirmation Dialog box. If there are any errors,
they will need to be resolved before the installation can continue. Warning messages will list which disks that currently contain
a recognized file system will be overwritten during the install process.
If you see a disk in the list that you do not want included, back
up to the root disk selection and choose another disk; if the settings
are correct, continue on to the next step. After you have reviewed all of
the information on the Confirmation Dialog box and resolved any errors,
select Go! (at the bottom of the screen) to initiate the installation. As the installation proceeds, you will see a log detailing output
from the software installation. After the software is installed, the
system will reboot prior to configuring the software and once again
after installation is complete. If your system was factory integrated, or if you chose to set
the system parameters at the first boot of your system, the system
will power down after the installation and ask for these system parameters
at the next boot of your system.
Task 4: Finishing Your Installation | |
If your system was factory integrated, or if you chose to set
the system parameters at the first boot of your system, the system
will power down after the installation and ask for these system parameters
at the next boot of your system. Reboot your system. The Welcome to HP-UX screen is displayed and you will be prompted through a series of
screens. You may need to select or specify other available networking
drivers to enable other cards on your system. To use a keyboard on this interface,
you must specify a language mapping to be used by X Windows and the
Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language.
For English, select number 26. You are prompted 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 completed the pre-install
data collection tables you have all the information you need for set_parms, so answer Y for yes. Enter the basic network information
that you collected in Table 5-1: “Miscellaneous Data”, on the screens that are displayed. Confirm your choices. You are now
finished with the install procedures and presented with a login screen.
Log in to the system as root.
