Creating a network depot (optional)
You can create a network depot if you intend to cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 on other
systems on the network. A network depot allows you to cold-install all systems on the
network without having to move media from system to system. You can also create a
network depot if you want to avoid manually swapping media in a single system. For
instructions on creating a network depot, see “Creating a network depot (optional)”
(page 35).
Proceeding with the installation
The following sections describe the stages in cold-installing from the Operating
Environment (OE) DVDs.
Booting from the Operating Environment media
To begin, boot your system from the OE DVD. For specific instructions, choose one of
the following subsections appropriate for your system:
• “Booting Your Itanium-based system” (page 47)
• “Booting your PA-RISC system” (page 47)
After booting your system, proceed to “Customizing your installation” (page 49).
