Locating Source Media and Codewords
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and
you have decided how to cold install to HP-UX 11i v1.6, you need to
locate the source media needed for the cold install:
• If you are cold installing one system at a time — Cold install
directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v1.6 media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v1.6 DVD — Boot and install a new system.
— HP-UX Application DVDs — Install applications not installed
with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application.
Some applications installed with an HP-UX 11i v1.6 OE may be
older versions than those available on the HP-UX Applications
DVDs supplied in the media kit. Products available on
Application DVDs are listed in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on
each DVD.
• If you plan to cold install on many systems in your enterprise
— We recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a “golden
image” from which to cold install. This install image can contain the
OS and OE, other applications, and any needed patches. Once the
archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another
system, cold install on each client system is a single-pass operation;
you will only need to reboot each client once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, see the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide, supplied on the Instant Information CD and
