HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2013

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.
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 more information on agile hardware paths, see the white paper “The Next Generation
Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3” (http://hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs).
Output similar to this is displayed:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > sea all
Searching for potential boot device(s)
This may take several minutes.
To discontinue search, press any key (termination may not be immediate).

Path# Device Path (dec) Device Type Rev
----- ----------------- ----------- ----
P1 0/0/0/2/1.2 Random access media 4
P2 1/0/0/2/0.6 Random access media 4
P3 1/0/0/2/1.3 Sequential access media 4
NOTE: On partitionable systems only the core cell is searched by default. If you want to
search all cells, you can use the all option to the sea command or provide a cell number
to search. Using the all option might take a significant amount of time if a large number of
I/O devices are connected to the system. The valid options to the sea command for the system
you are using will be shown when you interrupt the boot process to gain access to the BCH
prompt.
6. For a legacy hardware path, boot from the DVD drive using the listed path number.
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
7. 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.
8. Enter the number and press Enter again to confirm.
Customizing your installation
Once the system is booted, it displays the Ignite-UX Welcome screen for the HP-UX installation
process.
Navigation tips
The following tips will help you navigate the installation interface:
