Installation of VxFS and VxVM 5.1 SP1 on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2011 Operating Environment Update Release Whitepaper (April 2011)

3. Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3
March 2011 OEUR with VxFS 5 .1
SP1 and VxVM 5 .1 SP1 from an
Ignite-UX Server
This section describes the process to cold-install a system with HP-UX 11i v3, VxVM
5.1 SP1, and VxFS 5.1 SP1 using an Ignite-UX server. It is assumed that some
depot server(s) should have been set up containing two depots, one with the HP-UX
11i v3 Operating Environment (OE) containing VxFS 5.0 and VxVM 5.0, and one
with the VxFS 5.1 SP1 and VxVM 5.1 SP1 software. Note that VxVM 5.0 and
VxFS 5.0 are included on the 11i v3 OE starting in September 2009, and
VxFS/VxVM 5.1 SP1 will need to be copied from an Independent media set.
Preparing the Ignite-UX Server
To prepare the Ignite-UX server, complete the following steps:
1. Enter the swinstall command to install Ignite-UX version C.7.12 (available in
March 2011) or later on an Ignite-UX server. You can confirm the Ignite
software version by entering the command swlist | grep –i ign, or by
viewing the contents of the /opt/ignite/Version file.
2. Create the configuration file for the HP-UX 11i v3 OE depot.
a. # cd /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31
b. # /opt/ignite/bin/make_config \
- s <depot_server>:<1131_OE_depot> \
- c <OE_config_filename>_cfg
c. Test the configuration file.
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm –T –f <OE_config_filename>_cfg
3. Create the configuration file for the VxVM 5.1 SP1 depot.
a. # cd /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31
b. # /opt/ignite/bin/make_config \
- s <1131_Vx*5.1_depot> -c <VX_config_filename>_cfg
c. Test the configuration file.
