3 Choosing an Installation Method This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you choose the most appropriate method to install HP-UX 11i v2 on your system.
Choosing an Installation Method Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v2 Cold-Installs of HP-UX 11i v2 Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or existing system by completely rebuilding the volume group, erasing the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the new operating system and specified software and data.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 Update means using the update-ux command and Software Distributor (SD) tools to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a media or network source depot. An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. Update is supported on HP PA-RISC Servers and Itanium-based Servers and Workstations.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 NOTE Updating from a release of HP-UX to another release of HP-UX that was released earlier in time is not supported. For example, trying to update from HP-UX 11i v1 December 2004 release to the HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 release is not supported. This could cause system incompatibilities and unpredictable results.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating from HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11) Table 3-1 lists the supported update paths from HP-UX 11i v1 to HP-UX 11i v2. NOTE There is no supported update path on HP 9000 PA-RISC Workstations.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating from HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 (B.11.22) Table 3-2 lists the supported update paths from HP-UX 11i v1.6 to HP-UX 11i v2. NOTE To update from HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to a premium OE you must update to the HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE first and then update to the desired premium OE. Table 3-2 Update Paths HP-UX 11i v1.6 to HP-UX 11i v2 HP-UX 11i version 1.
Choosing an Installation Method Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating from HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) Table 3-3 lists the supported update paths from HP-UX 11i v2 to the latest release of HP-UX 11i v2.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Deciding Which Method to Use Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2 on your system. The process described in this guide cold-installs and updates a single system from local media.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Time to Complete a Cold Install or Update The time it takes to install or update your system will vary depending on the following choices and considerations: • Operating Environment (OE) • Cold install or update • Size of your system, such as number of processors, amount of memory, and number of I/O cards Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2 may take several hours to complete.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use When to Cold-Install CAUTION The cold-install process erases software on all disks selected to participate in the installation before installing HP-UX 11i v2. If you want to retain any existing software, make sure to back up that software before migrating or use update. Cold-installing using Ignite-UX or media overwrites everything on the target disks.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use When to Update You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 when: NOTE • You are updating from a supported HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v1.6, and HP-UX 11i v2 system. See “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 45 for specific details. • You are concerned about recovering unique applications and data on your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files, which occurs when cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Additional Cold-Install Considerations The following sections provide additional information to assist you in deciding whether to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2. Using the HP-UX 11i v2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) System If you plan to read the HP-UX 11i v2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11i v1 system, or to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 from a depot on an HP-UX 11i v1 system, then you need to install the PHKL_28025 patch.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Additional Update Considerations The following sections provide additional information to assist you in deciding whether to update to HP-UX 11i v2. Requirement for Updating from HP-UX 11i v1.6 (B.11.22) If you are updating from HP-UX 11i v1.6, you must install the August 2004 version of BUNDLE11i (revision tag, B.11.22.0408.1) for HP-UX 11i v1.6 on your system prior to updating to the HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 or later release.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use If you need to revert your system to the earlier configuration, you can use the kconfig (5) commands to mark /stand/backup_prior_to_update for use on the next reboot of your system. Otherwise, you should boot to /stand/backup to ensure that your system will run on a good configuration. IMPORTANT 56 Booting to /stand/backup_prior_to_update is not guaranteed to work correctly because it restores only the kernel and not the rest of HP-UX.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Security Considerations HP-UX Bastille (B6849AA) is included as default-installed software on the Operating Environment media and can be installed with Ignite-UX or Update-UX. HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening and lockdown tool that can be used to enhance security of the HP-UX operating system. It provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis by encoding functionality similar to Bastion Host and other hardening and lockdown checklists.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Predefined Configuration Bundles At cold-install- or update-time, you can choose one of the security configuration bundles listed in Table 3-4, with each bundle providing incrementally higher security. Table 3-4 Bundle Name Predefined Security Configuration Bundles Configuration File Name1 Description Sec00Tools2 Not applicable The install-time security infrastructure; no security changes Sec10Host3 HOST.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Configuring HP-UX Bastille Sec10Host Serviceguard's use of dynamic ports does not work if the predefined Bastille Sec20MngDMZ (MANDMZ.config) or Sec30DMZ (DMZ.config) configurations are installed. These configurations use different IPFilter rules to define firewall protection than the rules Serviceguard uses. The required IPFilter-SG rules are documented in the HP-UX IPFilter Version A.03.05.09 Administrator's Guide at http://docs.hp.

Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations CAUTION When reverting to the previous HP-UX Bastille configuration, note these precautions: • Security configuration changes will be undone temporarily. • Other manual configuration changes or additional software installed since HP-UX Bastille was initially run may result in HP-UX Bastille requiring a manual merge of configuration settings.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations These bundles are dependent on the Sec00Tools bundle. Figure 3-1 Install-time Security Software Dependencies Sec20MngDMZ Sec10Host These selectable bundles lock down your system at cold-install- or update-time. They depend on Sec00Tools to install the needed software to secure your system. Sec30DMZ This default-installed bundle does not apply any security at cold-installor update-time.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations • IMPORTANT Table 3-7 on page 66 lists the security settings applied with Sec30DMZ, in addition to the settings in Table 3-5 and Table 3-6. Review these tables carefully. Some of the locked down services and protocols may be used by other applications, and may have adverse effects on the behavior or functionality of these applications.

Choosing an Installation Method Standard HP-UX Bundle Considerations Standard HP-UX Bundle Considerations Standard HP-UX bundles supply diagnostics and patches for HP-UX core files, applications, and diagnostic products. These bundles enable new hardware, fix known defects, and provide diagnostics tools. In some cases, a patch may deliver new software functionality. All bundle software is cumulative and replaces completely any previous bundle release for the same operating system (OS) release.
Choosing an Installation Method Online Diagnostics Online Diagnostics HP-UX 11i v2 automatically installs diagnostics on all systems to provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the OnlineDiag bundle, give you a complete solution to verify, troubleshoot, and monitor Itanium-based system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, and mass storage and other devices.
Choosing an Installation Method Offline Diagnostics Offline Diagnostics Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) is on the HP Itanium-Processor Family Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. The CD is delivered with the hardware and is non-OS dependent (not delivered with the HP-UX 11i v2 media kit). HP highly recommends that you get the latest CD and update the Offline Diagnostics for improved functionality.

This file provides a list of bundles that are selected for install during an OS update.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Examples: Using update-ux to Update Your System Your system configuration and your planning determine how you use update-ux. This section provides some scenarios and examples of how you might use update-ux to update your system: 118 • “Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed)” on page 119 explains how to update to HP-UX 11i v2 with an Operating Environment.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Recommended Update Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed) To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment, you need to specify the OE bundle name in the update-ux command.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (No OE Installed) IMPORTANT If you already have an Operating Environment installed on your system, you cannot use this scenario. Instead, use “Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed)” on page 119. Attempting this scenario when you already have an Operating Environment installed will cause update-ux to fail.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 IMPORTANT Upgrading to a higher level OE is supported only if you are updating from a lower level HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment. You cannot update, for example, from an HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE. You cannot downgrade from a higher level OE to a lower level OE. Updating from a Network Depot To update from a network depot on a remote system named netdepot, include the path to the depot in the update-ux command.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 IMPORTANT swinstall’s interactive user interface does not provide for selecting mutually exclusive selectable software bundles. As a result, if you select more than one HP-UX Bastille security configuration bundle from the Security Choices section of the Select Additional Software screen (for example, Sec20MngDMZ and Sec30DMZ), HP-UX Bastille applies the highest security configuration selected.
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 Step 2.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 C Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables, vx_ninode and vxfs_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Introduction Introduction VxFS 3.5 caches objects in memory to improve performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set of tunables.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Controlling the inode Cache Controlling the inode Cache As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help file systems perform better for file server and web server loads. The global (static) tunable vx_ninode represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS inode cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Controlling the Buffer Cache Controlling the Buffer Cache VxFS 3.5 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but grow and shrink during system usage, depending on the load on the file system. The global (static) tunable vxfs_bc_bufhwm represents the maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2 Conclusion Conclusion VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that result in improved file system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the auto-tuned values are not optimal, you can set these tunables.
