Before You Begin
Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v2, you need to collect information
about your existing system. This section contains tables where you can
record information. Then, when you are installing HP-UX 11i v2, you use
information from the Miscellaneous Data and Network Data collection
tables when needed.
Use the collection tables:
• If you chose the Guided Installation, the HP-UX Install Wizard
prompts you for the data in these tables at various stages during the
install.
• If you chose the Advanced Installation, an interface gives you the
opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning of the install.
The interface is a tabbed file-folder and character-based.
• If you choose to network-enable your system, you must designate a
unique host name, host Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other
network information for your server.
Contact your site network administrator for the details to include in
these tables.
Miscellaneous Data Collection Table
Table 5-1 may contain some items that are not familiar to you, but you
will be prompted for this information during the install.
The install process describes all options in detail, so you can defer
making decisions about items that are unfamiliar to you until you reach
that point in the install.
