Whole Disk
Installation Not
Supported with VxFS
and 18 GB Disks
The installation of HP-UX is not supported in the Whole Disk
install configuration with VxFS and only disks 18 GB in size.
If you attempt a Whole Disk installation of VxFS on 18 GB
disks, then the installation is likely to hang at various points
during the installation process.
What to Do
You should avoid installing with VxFS using the whole disk
option on any 18 GB disk. We recommend you use LVM or
VxVM to partition the disk as an alternative installation
configuration.
