Supported Cold-Install Paths to HP-UX 11i v1
Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or
existing system by completely rebuilding the volume group, erasing the
existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the
new operating system and specified software and data.
You can choose two different methods to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 on a
supported system: 1) by direct installation from CD or DVD media; 2) by
creating depots on servers using SD-UX or Ignite-UX and sharing it over
the network.
An advantage of cold-install is that supported software can be installed
without regard for the software currently on the system, or concern for
cleaning up old software.
Supported versions of HP-UX that can be configured as Ignite-UX
servers include HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i v1.6, HP-UX 11i v1, and HP-UX
11i v2. Ignite-UX servers installed on any of these HP-UX systems can
be configured to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1.
You can cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 and its accompanying Operating
Environment on any supported system listed in “Supported Servers and
Workstations” on page 36.
NOTE If your system already is running any version of the HP Apache-based
Web Server, installing or updating to an HP-UX 11i v1 Operating
Environment will install the version of HP-UX Web Server Suite
included with the HP-UX 11i v1 OE. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v1 Release
Notes for more information.
