Menu Options The following menu options are available for the cold install of HP-UX 11.0. Cold Install: Basic Configuration Choices You can select one of three choices for the basic configuration of your system: • Default configuration • Technical Computing configuration • Commercial Servers configuration Each configuration selects automatically the HWE patch bundle required for all current and new hardware, including the latest HP servers and workstations supported on HP-UX 11.00.
In the March 2002 release, there are no changes to the core software. For Default and Technical Computing configurations, the November 1999 ACE bundle is installed automatically. For more information on the integrated patch bundle in the November 1999 ACE bundle release, see the Release Notes for HP-UX 11.0 Additional Core Enhancements, November 1999 (HP-UX 11.0) on the web: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11.

Software Selection In addition to the configuration-specific software bundles that are automatically marked for installation, you can now select mass-storage and networking I/O driver products from the Software tab on the Ignite-UX install menu. Mass-storage I/O driver products include the PCI TL/TS/XL2 Fibre Channel card (A6795A). Networking I/O driver products include GSC/HSC, HP-PB, and PCI adapters for 100BT, Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, and Hyperfabric LAN.
Known Problems • EISA 100BT Warning Message When you remove an EISA 100BT product from a system or update a system having EISA 100BT to any later releases of HP-UX, you may find the following message in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file: Running remove setup command /usr/lbin/sw/remove_setup. /dev/diag/ether* not found. This behavior occurs in the HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11.0, and HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) versions of this product. Presence or absence of this file on a system will not have any impact on this product.
• Screen May Lock During Update When updating a system having a graphics console with Common Desktop Environment (CDE) enabled from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11.0, the screen may go blank and the system will begin beeping. This problem is caused by the screen being automatically locked by CDE after a preset idle time. To avoid this problem, turn CDE’s screen lock off before entering the swinstall command to update to HP-UX 11.0. To turn the screen lock off, select CDE Style Manager -> Screen.
For the drivers supplied on the HP-UX 11.0 CD, see "Meeting System Requirements" in Chapter 1 of the HP-UX 11.0 Installation and Update Guide. Booting from a boot device connected via a Fibre Channel fabric switch is not supported. Connect the boot device directly to the system using one of the available Fibre Channel cards listed in “Selectable Drivers” on page 9. • Installing 64-bit Minimal OS You can now cold install the HP-UX 11.
