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

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v1

Chapter 5 85

Task 5: Finishing Your Installation

Finishing the Guided Installation process begins with filesets being

copied from the media to the hard disk. The system automatically

reboots during the installation process.

Installing HP-UX 11i v1 installs a minimum set of default networking

drivers that apply to the system. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v1 Release

Notes available at:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv1/index.html

You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to

enable other cards on your system.

Step 1. Select

Finish to complete the Guided Installation. The system configures

the hard disks and loads a minimum set of commands and libraries. SD

then downloads all the products and patches from CD1 or DVD1.

Step 2. When prompted, replace the HP-UX 11i v1 CD or DVD with the

requested CD or DVD from the media kit. Software is automatically

loaded from each CD or DVD. If you see the following message you may

have pressed

Enter before changing the CD or DVD:

Unable to verify CD-ROM media content ...

If so, verify that you have changed the CD or DVD and then select the

displayed Recovery Action 1:

Retry software Load... and press Enter again.

The system automatically reboots after all software has been loaded.

Step 3. Eject the last CD or DVD.

Step 4. Depending on how you set up your parameters, the system either sets

basic network configurations automatically, or calls the set_parms

command after it has rebooted to enable you to set the root password,

date and time, time zone, IP address, and additional network

parameters.

After set_parms is executed, then the Welcome to HP-UX screen is

displayed.

Step 5. To use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language

mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator

(ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26.
