Locating Source Media and Codewords
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, you
need to locate the source media needed for the cold-install or update:
• If you are cold-installing or updating one system at a time —
Cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v1
media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v1 OE media (2 CDs or 1 DVD) — Boot and install
a new system or update an existing HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11.0,
or HP-UX 11i system.
— Support Plus CD — Install current HP-UX 11i v1 patch
bundles to fix defects in the OS and OE applications.
— HP-UX Application media (multiple CDs or 1 DVD) —
Install applications not installed with the OE or install a newer
version of an OE application. Some applications installed with an
HP-UX 11i v1 OE may be older versions than those available on
the HP-UX Applications CDs or DVD supplied in the media kit.
Products available on Application CDs or DVD are listed in the
CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each CD or DVD.
• If you plan to cold-install on many systems in your enterprise
— Use an Ignite-UX server to create a golden image from which to
cold-install. A golden image is a snapshot of a known, good operating
system installation and configuration for use in installing other
clients. The copied (source) client is called the golden image. This
install image can contain the OS and OE, other applications, and any
needed patches. After the archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX
server or on another system, cold-install on each client system in a
single-pass operation; you need to reboot each client only once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, refer to the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide supplied on the HP-UX Instant Information
CD and at the HP Technical Documentation Web site:
