• README (Read Before Installing) Documents
README documents or Read Before Installing (RBI) media booklets
contain information about the installation process that may not
appear in this HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation and Update Guide.
Any product contained in the release may have a README
document, so several README documents may be included. The
Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i Version 2 booklet is
included with your media kit.
The following references assume you know how to mount a DVD on your
system. Files located on mounted DVD drives are referenced as
dvd_mount_point
, followed by the file path on the DVD media.
NOTE If you plan to read the HP-UX 11i v2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11i v1 system,
then you need to install the PHKL_28025 patch.
The PHKL_28025 patch is in the GOLDBASE11i bundle as of June 2003,
which you can find on the Support Plus media for HP-UX 11i v1 or at the
IT Resource Center Web site:
http://itrc.hp.com
The PHKL_28025 patch supersedes PHKL_25760.
• Bundle Readme Files
Bundle readme files (in text and HTML formats) contain additional
installation instructions, notes about problems in current and
previous releases, a list of patches and their dependencies, and
changes since the last release. You can print or view these files
directly from the DVD, for example:
more /
dvd_mount_point
/DOCS/PATCH/QPK1123.readme.html
Each bundle readme file in HTML format contains hyperlinks to the
patch text files, located at the same directory level as each bundle.
You can enter a URL into a web browser to view these files directly
from the DVD, for example:
file:/
dvd_mount_point
/DOCS/PATCH/QPK1123.readme.html
