HP RX4610 manual Root Disk, Pre-Install Data Tables

Installing HP-UX 11i Version 1.5

Planning your HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Cold Install

CAUTION	If your system needs to be reinstalled at any point, the root disk will be
	overwritten and all data on it will be lost. For that reason, we
	recommend that you do not put user data on the root disk.

IMPORTANT

Root Disk

HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 provides several file system choices for the root disk.

•By default, the system installs VxVM on the root disk with VxFS file systems. Unless the system firmware supports the edd30 command, VxVM should only be installed onto a disk located at target 0. Once installed, you should not physically move the VxVM root disk.

—Striping volumes can be configured during the install.

—Mirrored volumes can not be configured during the install. Configure mirroring after the installation is complete.

•Whole-disk VxFS

•HFS file systems are not supported.

•Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is not supported as root disk, use VxVM instead.

Pre-Install Data Tables

The pre-install data tables are located in Appendix C.

All of the data in these tables is required to install HP-UX 11i Version

1.5(with the exception of the networking information if you are installing a stand-alone system).

By completing the following tables prior to beginning the install of HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, you will have all the data you need, in one place, to successfully complete the install once you have started.
