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.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use • An update from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v2 TCOE on an rx2600 may take one hour to complete. When to Cold-Install CAUTION The cold-install process erases software on the root volume 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 overwrites everything on the target disk.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Install or Update to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 71 for more information about preparing your system for cold-install and then read the cold-install process using Ignite-UX in Chapter 5, “Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 87. 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 v1.0, HP-UX 11i v1.6, and HP-UX 11i v2 system.
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. HP Service Partition (Itanium-based Systems Only) During cold-install or recovery on Itanium-based systems only, Ignite-UX changes the boot disk partition layout to create a new HP Service Partition (HPSP).
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Alternative Cold-Install Methods Instead of cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2 as described in this guide, you can cold-install your system using the following methods: • Install from Software Depots Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX.
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 HP Service Partition Is Not Created During Update (Itanium-based Systems Only) NOTE This section only applies to Itanium-based systems. For PA-RISC systems proceed to “Security Considerations” on page 60. The HP Service Partition (HPSP) is not created or modified when you update from a supported update path. (See “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 47.) OnlineDiag will continue to work properly.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Determining Whether You Have an HP Service Partition To determine whether an HP Service partition exists on your system, enter the following command on your physical disk volume (here named /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0): idisk -p /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 Example 3-1 shows that you need to create the HP Service Partition after updating to HP-UX 11i v2. Example 3-1 idisk Output from Disk Without HP Service Partition idisk version: 1.
Choosing an Installation Method Deciding Which Method to Use Update-UX Contains a Default-Installed Selection File The Update-UX product includes a default selections file, update-ux.selections, which is installed in /usr/lib/sw. This file provides a list of bundles that are selected for install during an OS update. Update-UX provides support for the -f selection_file option on the update-ux command line.
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 Security Choice Dependencies The Sec00Tools security infrastructure bundle is default-installed on your system. Although this bundle does not implement any security changes at cold-install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (Figure 3-1) is installed. By installing Sec00Tools, you can run HP-UX Bastille at a later time to lock down your system.
Choosing an Installation Method Security Considerations Secured Services and Protocols Each security configuration bundle provides incrementally higher security by locking down various protocols and services. HP-UX Bastille uses a series of questions to determine which services and protocols to secure. Using one of the Security Configuration bundles applies a default security profile, simplifying the lockdown process.

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.
