System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating The Next Step 38 Chapter 2
3 Choosing an Installation Method This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you choose the most appropriate method to install HP-UX 11i v3 on your system.
Choosing an Installation Method Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v3 Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v3 Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or existing system by completely rebuilding the root volume group, erasing the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the new operating system and specified software and data.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 Update means using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot. An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. You can update to HP-UX 11i v3 from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23). Updating from any other release directly to HP-UX 11i v3 is not supported.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v3 Updating from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) Table 3-1 lists the supported update paths from HP-UX 11i v2 to the HP-UX 11i v3.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Deciding Which Method to Use Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 on your system. When to Cold-Install CAUTION The cold-install process erases software on the root volume before installing. If you want to retain any existing software, make sure to back up that software before migrating or use update.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Cold-Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v3,” on page 63 for more information about preparing your system for cold-install and then read the cold-install process using Ignite-UX in Chapter 5, “Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3,” on page 79. When to Update You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v3 when: • You are updating from a supported HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 system.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use What Software Source to Use When cold installing or updating your systems, you can choose to update using media, copy the contents of media into network depots, or create a golden image of the desired system for installing many similar systems. The process described in this guide cold-installs and updates a single system from local media.
Choosing an Installation Method New Mass Storage Stack for HP-UX 11i v3 New Mass Storage Stack for HP-UX 11i v3 HP-UX 11i v3 introduces a new representation of mass storage devices, known as the agile view. In the agile view, disk devices and tape drives are identified by the actual object, not by a hardware path to the object.
Choosing an Installation Method New Mass Storage Stack for HP-UX 11i v3 HP-UX 11i v3 Device Special File (DSF) In a similar way to hardware paths, there are two types of DSFs for mass storage: legacy DSFs and persistent DSFs. Both can be used to access a given mass storage device independently, and can coexist on a given system. These DSFs are described below. • A legacy device special file was the only type of mass storage DSF in releases prior to HP-UX 11i v3, so it is associated with the legacy view.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Security Considerations HP-UX Bastille (HPUXBastille) is included as recommended software on the Operating Environment media and can be installed and run with Ignite-UX or Update-UX, (see “Predefined Security Levels” on page 49). HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening and lockdown tool that can be used to enhance security of the HP-UX operating system.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Predefined Security Levels At cold-install or update-time, you can choose one of the security levels listed in Table 3-2, with each one providing incrementally higher security. Table 3-2 Security Level Predefined Security Configuration Configuration File Name1 Description Sec00Tools2 Not applicable The install-time security infrastructure; no security changes. Sec10Host3 HOST.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Selecting Your Security Levels at Install Time During installation, you can configure your security levels by navigating to either the System tab or the Software tab from the Ignite-UX Graphical User Interface Installation and Configuration dialog box. The System tab allows you to configure information unique to your system such as security levels, hostname, IP address, root password, and the time zone.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Serviceguard Configuration (post-installation) to Enable Use with Security Levels Configuring Sec20MngDMZ or Sec30DMZ for Use with Serviceguard Serviceguard uses dynamic ports. To enable operation, the possible-SG port range must be opened. Opening the port range is not consistent with the security goals of Sec20MngDMZ (MANDMZ.config) and Sec30DMZ (DMZ.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations 4. Do one of the following: • Manually update the system configuration: Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file by uncommenting (remove the #) the following line: #auth stream tcp6 wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd Force inetd to reread the configuration by running the following command: # inetd -c • Use HP-UX Bastille to update the configuration: Revert to the previous HP-UX Bastille configuration; then apply the new HP-UX Bastille configuration.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Security Choice Dependencies The Sec00Tools security level is installed by default on your system. Although Sec00Tools does not implement any security changes at cold-install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (Figure 3-1) is installed. The Sec00Tools security level contains the pre-built configuration files that you can use to create a security level or you can use it as a template to create a custom security configuration.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Secured Services and Protocols Each security level provides incrementally higher security by locking down various protocols and services. HP-UX Bastille uses a series of questions to determine which services and protocols to secure. Using one of the security levels applies a default security profile, simplifying the lockdown process.

Choosing an Installation Method Online Diagnostics Online Diagnostics The diagnostics software, which is installed with HP-UX 11i v3, consists of two product bundles: • OnlineDiag • SysFaultMgmt These bundles include many tools to help verify, troubleshoot, and monitor PA-RISC and Itanium-based system hardware such as processors, memory, power supplies, fans, interface cards and mass storage devices.
Choosing an Installation Method Online Diagnostics • EMT EMT enables you to view most errors that can occur on HP-UX 11i v3 systems. It also provides probable cause for errors, and recommended actions. CAUTION Removing the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle, or both, prevents products with dependencies on the diagnostics from functioning correctly. If the OnlineDiag bundle or the SysFaultMgmt bundle are not installed, protections from some hardware failures are removed.
Choosing an Installation Method Offline Diagnostics Offline Diagnostics Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) includes a set of offline support tools that enables you to troubleshoot a system that is running without an operating system. ODE is available on the following media: • HP 9000 PA-RISC Offline Diagnostics CD, for PA-RISC systems. • HP Itanium-Processor Family (IPF) Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD, for IPF systems.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 B Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 Introduction Introduction VxFS 4.1 caches objects in memory to improve performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set of tunables.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 Controlling the inode Cache Controlling the inode Cache As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help file systems perform better for file server and web server loads. The global (static) tunable vx_ninode represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS inode cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 Controlling the Buffer Cache Controlling the Buffer Cache VxFS 4.1 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but grow and shrink during system usage, depending on the load on the file system. The global (static) tunable vxfs_bc_bufhwm represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 4.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 Conclusion Conclusion VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that result in improved file system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the auto-tuned values are not optimal, you can set these tunables.
