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 28).
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 38)
• “Booting your PA-RISC system” (page 38)
After booting your system, proceed to “Customizing your installation” (page 39).
