Chapter 5 97
NOTE If you select VxVM, the root disk can not be moved to another SCSI bus
or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the device. If
it is moved, you may not be able to boot safely from it. This is similar to
the limitation present in LVM.
Step 6. On the
Root Group screen, specify how many disks you want placed into
the root disk volume group. If you have more than one disk, select Yes to
choose the Striping option.
Step 7. On the
Languages screen, browse the available languages, marking the
desired selections. During the first boot, you may have been asked this
already.
Step 8. On the
Additional Software screen, select any additional software that you
want loaded onto your system. Browse the list, marking your selections,
then continue to the next step.
For example, to secure your system at install-time with the Sec30DMZ
configuration bundle do the following:
a. Select Security Choices.
The four security configuration bundles appear. By default,
Sec00Tools is selected
b. Select Sec30DMZ from the list.
c. Select
OK.
For more information, see “Security Considerations” on page 60.
Step 9. On the
Pre-Install Disk Information screen (Step 1), identify which disks
will be overwritten during the install process. If you see a disk in the list
that you do not want included, back up to the root disk selection and
choose another disk. Otherwise, continue on to the next step.
Step 10. On the
Pre-Install Check Information screen (Step 2), review any errors,
warnings, or notes. Warnings are simply informational. If there are any
errors, they will need to be resolved before the installation can continue.
