HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide, December 2007

System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating
How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs
Chapter 234
Disk Space Requirements for a Cold-Install
Table 2-1 lists the amount of disk space allocated for the indicated
partitions during a default cold-install for each Operating Environment.
(The percentage used in each partition is in parentheses.)
NOTE During installation, Ignite-UX (on the Ignite-UX File System tab) shows
a higher percentage of disk space used than the information in Table 2-1
shows. The minimums enforced by Ignite-UX ensure that the cold install
completes successfully without filling a file system. This difference exists
on all versions of Ignite-UX.
