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 or update to HP-UX 11i v2, you need
to locate the source media needed for the migration:
• If you are cold-installing or updating one system at a time —
cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v2
media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v2 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 v2 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 DVD and
