How to Install HP-UX 11i Version 1.5

To cold install the operating system, which overwrites everything on the target disk:

Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are turned ON and operational.

Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 DVD into the drive.

Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot automatically from the DVD; if it does, go directly to step 4.

IMPORTANT: If the system does not boot automatically, you will be taken to the boot menu, which is a timed menu -- press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run install manually from the EFI shell, as follows:

1.Select EFI Shell (Built In) from the boot menu.

2.Display the list of devices by typing: map -b

(The -bcommand line option scrolls the screen one page at a time in the event that the device list is longer than one page.)

3.Look at the list of devices (displayed as fs0, fs1, etc.) and identify the DVD-ROM device. An example of a DVD-ROM device entry from the map command:

fs0 : Acpi (PNP0A03),0)/Pci(31)/Ata(Secondary,Master) /CDROM(Entry1)

4.The edd30 [on off ] command toggles the BIOS option to display device path according to the EDD 3.0 specification. If the BIOS option is off, the root disk must be located at target 0. If the root disk is not located at target 0, type :

edd30 on

to enable EDD 3.0.

5.Then enter the command device_name:\install. For example, if the DVD-ROM device is fs0, you would enter

fs0:\install
