Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media
With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i v1, you can choose to
either cold-install or update from either CD-ROM or DVD media.
Digital Versatile Disks (DVD) provide you with several benefits
compared to CD-ROM:
• fewer disks containing all of the data needed to install or update to
HP-UX 11i v1
• no disks to shuffle during installation - all of the core HP-UX 11i v1
operating system software is contained on one DVD
• fewer installation steps
• shortened installation times
DVD Availability
DVD drives are now available for both PA-RISC servers and
workstations. Contact your HP Customer Engineer for more details
about your system’s requirements.
