Cold Install When...
We recommend using Ignite-UX to cold-install HP-UX 11i in the
following situations:
• You are managing several systems with similar OS configurations.
• You need fast, predictable deployment.
• Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See “Planning Your Disk
Space Needs” on page 76.
• Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from
user, application and data files.
You can cold-install from any supported HP-UX OS. (See Table 3-1,
“Supported Systems,” on page 44.)
The cold-install process using Ignite-UX is described in Chapter 5. See
“Preparing to Cold-Install Your System” on page 81 for more
information.
