Step 11. When prompted, replace HP-UX 11i CD1 or DVD1 with the requested
CD or DVD from the media kit. Software will be automatically loaded
from each CD or DVD. If you see the message:
Unable to verify CD-ROM media content ...
You may have pressed Enter before changing the CD or DVD. If so, verify
that you have changed the CD/DVD and then select the displayed
Recovery Action 1:
Retry software Load... and press Enter again.
Step 12. The system automatically reboots after all software has been loaded.
Eject the last CD or DVD. Be sure to store all CDs or DVDs in a safe
place. You may need them later to install drivers or to install or change
the OE.
If you specified Ask at first boot during the installation screens, the
set_parms command runs now so you can set the root password, date,
time, time zone, IP address, and other network parameters. You may
need to customize NFS mounts, gateways, file systems, and so forth after
you log in. Changes to the kernel, such as adding devices, will require a
reboot to enable them.
Step 13. The depot named GOLDQPK11i includes two quality pack bundles,
GOLDAPPS11i, which updates OE applications, and GOLDBASE11i, which
updates the Base OE (including the always-installed and selectable
driver products).
After installing or updating applications, insert the HP-UX Support Plus
CD and install the Quality Pack patch bundles to update the Base OE
and OE applications on your system. For example:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom/GOLDQPK11i \
-x patch_match_target=true -x autoreboot=true
For more about this package, see the Quality Pack page available at the
following web site:
