Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

250 Appendix C
Ignite-UX System Administration
Section 3: Automatic Installation
The target system should boot into the IUX install process and complete
the install automatically. Errors will be reported on the client screen and
in the install.log file.
NOTES
If you are attempting to install 10.x onto a system running an HP-UX
9.0x version, you may run into the following problem:
bootsys works by copying the Ignite-UX kernel (INSTALL) and RAM
file system (INSTALLFS) to each client and then setting the system’s
AUTO file in the LIF area of the root disk to automatically boot from this
kernel at the next system reboot.
For 9.X clients, bootsys requires that the primary boot path be set to the
disk that the system is currently booted from and that the auto-boot flag
be turned on. For 10.X clients, bootsys will set the primary boot path and
auto-boot flag (using the setboot command) to the disk it is currently
booted from.
To set the “pri path” on 9.X systems (if needed), do the following:
Perform an attended boot (hit when instructed at bootup) and execute
the following (assuming you want the pri path set to the SCSI disk at
address 3.0):
boot_admin> path pri scsi.3.0
boot_admin> auto boot on
This may vary slightly depending on the vintage of the system. The help
system of the boot-ROM interface should explain the syntax to use.
