HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, December 2004

Preparing to Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v1
Cold-Install Tasks
Chapter 4 65
Colors and Fonts If you want to preserve your colors and fonts in CDE, execute the
following command on the system you are updating:
xrdb -q > xrdb.save
Then save the xrdb.save file in your backup directory.
Task 2: Backing Up Your System
Back up your system before performing a cold-install, and again after the
cold-install is complete. If a problem occurs, you can easily restore the
system to its original state. See “Backing Up Your System” on page 69 for
more information.
Task 3: Updating Your Ignite-UX Server
If you intend to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 on more than one system,
update your Ignite-UX server.
The HP-UX 11i v1 DVD contains the complete Ignite-UX product. When
you cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 from the media, a subset of Ignite-UX is
used to perform the installation on a single system.
If you plan to update an existing Ignite-UX server to install HP-UX 11i
v1 on more than one system in your network, update your Ignite-UX
server first.
