Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install
Chapter 232
Step 4. Verify the system booted from the DVD. The bootloader will display a
message indicating you have 20 seconds to interrupt the boot process.
The AUTO file should contain the string
boot :IINSTALL -c0
If the AUTO file string is different from the above, you may have booted
from the wrong device. In that case, interrupt the boot process, enter the
EFI shell. From the EFI shell, select the correct device, as explained in
step 3.
Step 5. Once the kernel has booted, it will scan the system for IO devices.
Step 6. The system now displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen for the HP-UX
installation process. If you have used Ignite-UX on PA systems, the
remaining procedures will be familiar to you.
Take a moment to read how to navigate and select choices on this
terminal interface:
• Use the Tab key to navigate between fields and the arrow keys to
navigate within fields.
• Use the Return/Enter key to select an item. Pressing Return/Enter or the
space-bar opens a menu list.
• For Help, use Cntl-K for navigation key help and Cntl-F (or F1) for
context-sensitive help.
• You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as I for install
HP-UX) to navigate more quickly.
Step 7. Select Install HP-UX to begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install)
program.
Step 8. From the User Interface and Media Options screen, choose the degree of
customizing needed to configure the installation. The default setting
under Source Location Options (Media only installation) is correct for
installing from a DVD.
Three choices are shown in User Interface Options:
• Guided Installation provides tutorial information and limited choices
for inexperienced Ignite-UX users.
• Advanced Installation enables you to customize your system on tabbed
screens. Use this mode to change VxVM settings. You may also find it
convenient to set system parameters, network services, file-system
characteristics, and other configuration details.
