System Requirements for Cold-Installing and Updating
How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs
Chapter 2 37
Disk Space Requirements for an Update
To ensure a successful update to HP-UX 11i v2, make sure that you have
at least as much disk space allocated to the file partitions listed in
Table 2-1 on page 36, and that each partition (most importantly,
/usr,/opt, and /var) has at least 10-20 percent free space to allow for
any growth. Additionally, make sure that you have at least 1 GB
allocated for /swap.
Extra Space
Needed with TCOE
and MTOE
Cold-installing or updating the HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE
(TCOE) and the Minimal Technical OE (MTOE) installs all CDE
languages rather than just a selected language.
To remove unneeded CDE language bundles after installing the TCOE or
MTOE, list them using swlist and remove unneeded bundles using
swremove.
See Chapter 8, “Verifying System Install or Update,” on page 143 for
examples of swlist and swremove. Refer to HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes
