Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v2
Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or
existing system by completely rebuilding the root volume group, erasing
the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing
the new operating system and specified software and data.
You can choose two different methods to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 on a
supported system: 1) by direct installation from the DVD media; 2) by
creating depots on servers using SD-UX or Ignite-UX and installing it
over the network.
An advantage of cold-install is that supported software can be installed
without regard for the software currently on the system, or concern for
cleaning up old software.
Supported versions of HP-UX that can be configured as Ignite-UX
servers include HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i v1, and HP-UX 11i v2.
Ignite-UX servers installed on any of these HP-UX systems can be
configured to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2.
NOTE HP-UX 11i v1.6 support has been discontinued with Ignite-UX version
C.6.5.x
NOTE HP-UX 11i v2 is not supported on PA-RISC Workstations. HP
recommends that PA-RISC Workstation customers use HP-UX 11i v1.
The HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 release was the last release supported on
the Itanium-based zx2000 and zx6000 workstations. These workstations
have been discontinued as of September 2004.
