Locating Source Media and Codewords

Locating Source Media and Codewords
Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, you
need to locate the source media needed for the cold-install or update:
• If you are cold-installing or updating one system at a time —
Cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v2
media kit:
— HP-UX 11i v2 DVD — Boot and install a new system.
— HP-UX Application DVDs — Install applications not installed
with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application.
Some applications installed with an HP-UX 11i v2 OE may be
older versions than those available on the HP-UX Applications
DVDs supplied in the media kit. Products available on
Applications DVDs are listed in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on
each DVD.
• If you plan to cold-install on many systems in your enterprise
— Use an Ignite-UX server to create a golden image from which to
cold-install. This install image can contain the OS and OE, other
applications, and any needed patches. After the archive is in place,
either on the Ignite-UX server or on another system, cold-install on
each client system in a single-pass operation; you need to reboot each
client only once.
For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, refer to the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide supplied on the Instant Information DVD and
on the HP Technical Documentation Web site:
