Post-Update Tasks
Chapter 6 127
In Example 6-1 on page 125, only two partitions are displayed in the
Primary Partition Table list: Partition 1 (EFI) and Partition 2
(HP-UX).
If the HP Service Partition were already configured, the Primary
Partition Table shows a third partition listed as HPSP such as in
Example 6-2 on page 126.
If you already have an HP Service Partition, skip the rest of this section
and continue with Chapter 7, “Installing HP Applications and Patches,”
on page 133.
Before You Begin You need to ensure that you have a minimum of 1 GB of disk space that
you can allocate for use by the EFI Boot Disk Partition and the new HP
Service Partition prior to beginning this procedure.
Make sure that you are familiar with the Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery
(1M) or make_net_recovery (1M) commands before you start. You can also
find more information about Ignite-UX, including the latest
documentation, on the Ignite-UX Web site:
