Whole Disk Installation Not Supported with VxFS
and 18 GB Disks
Problem
The installation of HP-UX is not supported in the Whole Disk
install configuration with VxFS and disks 18 GB in size.
What You See
If you attempt a Whole Disk installation of VxFS on 18 GB disks,
then the installation is likely to hang at various points during
the installation process.
What to Do
You should avoid installing with VxFS using the whole disk
option on any 18 GB disk. We recommend you use LVM or VxVM
to partition the disk as an alternative installation configuration.
