Post-Install Tasks
After the cold-install, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may need them to
install drivers or other software later.
In addition, installing HP-UX 11i v3 installs a minimum set of default networking
drivers that apply to the system. You may need to select or specify other available
networking drivers to enable other cards on your system. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v3

Task 1: Configuring OE Applications
After updating to an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment (OE), some OE products
need post-installation configuration to make them functional. This need may be
indicated by a message logged in /var/opt/swm/swm.log.
Refer to each product’s installation instructions for details. The location of OE
product-specific documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available
on the Instant Information DVD and at http://docs.hp.com/en/

Task 2: Migrating to the Agile Mass Storage Stack (Optional)
In HP-UX 11i v3 there are two types of DSFs for mass storage: legacy DSFs and persistent
DSFs. Both can be used to access a given mass storage device independently and can
coexist on a given system. The new mass storage stack for HP-UX 11i v3 is intended
to supersede the existing mass storage stack. However, in HP-UX 11i v3 they can exist
in parallel. Existing legacy DSFs will continue to work as before; they are completely
backward compatible, and will not be affected by any persistent DSFs on the same
server.
If you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically
created. By default, the installation process will configure system devices like the boot,
root, swap, and dump devices to use persistent DSFs. This means that configuration
files such as/etc/fstab, /etc/lvmtab, and others will contain references to persistent
DSFs.
You may choose to migrate to the new agile mass storage stack or you can continue to
use the legacy mass storage stack. If you want to use the new features of the agile mass
