HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2012

• 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.
1. If the installation 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 (such as 26
for US English) and then press Enter to confirm your choice.
2. 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 window.
3. From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree of customizing needed
to configure the installation. Mark your choices and select OK.
a. Select from one of the three choices shown in Source Location Options:
• Media only installation is the default setting for installing from a DVD. (This document
only provides the procedures for cold-installing from media.)
• 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.
b. Select from one of the choices shown in User Interface Options:
• 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, see the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs).
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.
1. In the Configurations field, select an overall system configuration that you want to use for this
installation.
2. In the Environments field, select the type of Operating Environment you want to install on your
system. Press Enter to view the choices.
3. 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. 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.
