HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, December 2003

Install/Update System Requirements

Extra space
needed with TCOE
and MTOE
Cold-installing the HP-UX 11i v1 Technical Computing OE and the
Minimal Technical OE installs all CDE languages, rather than just a
selected language. To remove unneeded CDE language bundles after
installing the TCOE or MTOE, list them using swlist and remove
unneeded bundles using swremove. See Chapter 7 for example uses of
swlist and swremove.
IMPORTANT Any last-minute install and update issues are described in the Read
Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i v1 booklet supplied with the
HP-UX 11i v1 CD or DVD media. Be sure to review that booklet as well
as Appendix B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 169
before continuing.
Adjusting Required Minimum File System Sizes
Update Requirements
If the required file-system size for the bundle you copy to a depot exceeds
the file system limit set by your disk installation, you will get an error
condition during the copy process. You can use lvextend and extendfs
in this situation to create a larger file system.
You might have a problem updating your systems if any of these volumes
are too small: /usr, /opt, /stand or /var.
If you try an update, swinstall will determine how much disk space is
required. If sufficient space is not available, swinstall will report an
error like this:
ERROR: The used disk space on filesystem "/var" is estimated
to increase by 57977 Kbytes.
This operation will exceed the minimum free space for this
volume. You should free up at least 10854 Kbytes to avoid
installing beyond this threshold of available user disk space.
In this example, you would need to increase the file system size of /var
by 10 MB, which actually needs to be rounded up to 12 MB.
Increasing /var
Follow these steps to increase the size limit of /var:
Step 1. Determine if any space is available for the /dev/vg00:
