1 Welcome to HP-UX 11i v3 Introduction to HP-UX 11i v3 HP-UX 11i v3 is an enterprise release delivering the highest level of integrated virtualization and automation. HP-UX 11i v3 dynamically reduces complexity and cuts deployment times to maximize return on investment.
HP-UX 11i v3 media kit DVDs Your HP-UX 11i v3 media kit may contain one or more of the following DVDs: • HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) OE (multi-DVD set) — Contains the Operating Environment (OE). For more information on OEs, see “HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments” (page 7). • HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) Application Software DVD (multi-DVD set) — Contains HP-UX application software. For installation information, see Chapter 7 (page 59).
2 Assessing your system and meeting system requirements This chapter helps you meet various requirements, as well as assess the current state of your system prior to cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3.
System requirements To cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3, you must have the following: • A supported system. See “Supported systems” (page 10) and “Identifying the model” (page 14). • HP-UX 11i v3 OE and Application Software (also known as “Application Release”) DVDs. • 1.5 GB memory, minimum. NOTE: The minimum memory limit is intended for running the HP-UX 11i v3 Base OE and minimal applications. Additional memory will be required for optimal performance, and optional software and applications.
NOTE: You can use Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) with Update-UX when you have disk space limitations that would otherwise prevent you from updating your system. By creating a clone, changing volume sizes, and then booting the clone, you can complete the update on the booted clone, with the original system as your backup. For more information, see the white paper “Dynamic Root Disk: Quick Start & Best Practices” (http://www.hp.com/go/drd-docs).
• Ignite-UX will consider available root disk space and adjust sizes to be larger. • The Ignite-UX UI File System tab can be used to set specific sizes. CAUTION: If the default size for the /stand partition is too small for your environment, do not use the lvextend command to increase the size of the /stand partition; doing so might render your system unbootable.
You can run the msv2v3check script to validate whether the drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices installed on your system are supported on HP-UX 11i v3. This script will report if any unsupported drivers, mass storage I/O cards, and mass storage devices are found on your system. This script will also check the minimum firmware versions required for these cards or devices. You can retrieve the msv2v3check script from the HP Software Depot (http://www.hp.com/go/ softwaredepot ).
Identifying model, release, and installed software Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3, you need to identify the model of your system and other information. Identifying the model To ensure you are using a supported system, check the model number. To determine the model number of your system, enter: model To verify that HP-UX 11i v3 is supported on your system, see “Supported systems” (page 10).
To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For example, to show revision and descriptive title of all software installed on a system, enter: /usr/sbin/swlist For more information, see the swlist(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide, available on the Instant Information DVD or the web (http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs). NOTE: Third-party software might have been installed onto the system without using Software Distributor.
3 Choosing your installation methods This chapter provides information and scenarios to help you choose the most appropriate methods to install or update HP-UX 11i v3 on your system.
Choosing cold-install or update Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3 on your system. When to cold-install Cold-install means installing system software on a new (uninstalled) or existing system by completely rebuilding the root volume group, erasing the existing operating system and data on that volume, and installing the new operating system and specified software and data.
• Each system has a unique configuration. • Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v3. Note, however, that you can use Dynamic Root Disk to address disk space limitations that would otherwise prevent you from updating. See “Determining disk space requirements” (page 10). An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 is limited to the supported paths listed in “Supported update paths” (page 18).
Please see the 'Supported Update Paths' section of the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide for more information. Choosing an installation source When cold-installing or updating your systems, you have several installation sources from which to choose. You can cold-install or update directly from the DVDs, copy the contents of the DVDs into network depots, or create a golden image of the desired system for installing many similar systems.
Deploy a customized system configuration to many systems. Avoid manual media swaps. Speed up installation time for multiple systems. Simply put, a golden image is built by setting up a single system the way you want all of your systems to look, and then creating an image of that system. Once a golden image has been created, it is then deployed to multiple clients.
4 Before you begin This chapter describes the steps you should take before actually cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. It also describes situations that you should carefully consider before you cold-install and/or update.
Reviewing known problems Before beginning any cold-install or update process, you should review the descriptions of harmless messages and known problems provided for you in Appendix A: “Harmless messages and known problems” (page 72). These known problems notes include, but are not limited to, issues with cold-installing and/or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. You can also find other late-breaking news of issues at the HP Support Center (http://hp.com/go/hpsc).
Part I: Creating an operating system recovery image To protect your system data, create an operating system (OS) recovery image: • The Ignite-UX server has two commands you can use to create an OS recovery image: ◦ ◦ make_net_recovery – Create an OS recovery image and store it on an Ignite-UX server on the network. – Works on any system that has Ignite-UX installed. – See “Choosing make_net_recovery” (page 23). make_tape_recovery – Create an OS recovery image on a bootable recovery tape.
You can run make_tape_recovery locally on the system from which you are trying to make an OS recovery tape. Data that is not in the root volume group must be backed up and recovered using normal backup utilities. For more information on using make_tape_recovery, see the make_tape_recovery( 1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs).
Choosing HP-UX fbackup/frecover utilities Use the fbackup and frecover commands to selectively back up and recover files. The fbackup command can do the following: • Indicate specific files or directories to include or exclude from a backup • Specify different levels of backup on a daily, a weekly, or monthly basis • Create an online index file The frecover command restores backup files made using the fbackup utility.
The above is an example of factory defaults. As you will see later in these steps, one of these devices will have to be configured as “primary” (P); the other will have to be configured with a status of “Not Configured” (NC). • If the command does not exist, the system will return the error message: conconfig not found. 2. Depending on whether the conconfig command is available at the EFI shell, use either the conconfig command or the EFI Boot Manager to select your primary HP-UX console.
Using the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console To use the EFI Boot Manager to select the primary HP-UX console, proceed with the following steps. 1. Decide what console you want to use. Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the following devices as your system console: 2. • System Serial Port (if present) • iLO (MP) Serial Port • VGA device (MP/iLO) Using the EFI menu, do the following: a. Open the EFI Boot Manager. b.
3. Create a directory under root (/). For example: mkdir /dvdrom 4. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example: mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom Unmounting the DVD You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD drive. For example: umount /dvdrom Note the DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots. For more information about mounting and unmounting, see the mount(1M) and umount(1M) manpages.
NOTE: For information about harmless messages currently known to appear, see “Messages you can ignore” (page 73). Special considerations In this section, you will find several situations and scenarios that you should give careful consideration before cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3. These situations might affect the decisions you make during the next steps in the cold-install and update process.
The higher security levels are dependent on Sec00Tools. Recommended (default-installed). Sec10Host Installs a host-based lock-down system. Most network services are disabled, but they can be reinstated by running the bastille(1M) command. Optional (customer-selectable). Sec20MngDMZ Installs a managed lock-down system that blocks most incoming traffic with an HP-UX IPFilter firewall. Optional. Sec30DMZ Installs a DMZ full host-based and IPFilter network lock down.
HP-UX 11i v3 device special files (DSF) In a similar way to hardware paths, there are two types of Device Special Files (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. DSFs: installing and updating If you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically created.
5 Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local media This chapter describes cold-installing HP-UX 11i v3 from local OE media.
Preparing to cold-install The following sections describe the initial steps you should take before proceeding with your installation. Also included is a graphic overview of the cold-install process. CAUTION: The cold-install process overwrites everything on all disks selected to participate in the installation. Make sure you have reviewed and completed the steps in “Backing up your system” (page 22).
Figure 1 Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v3 Start Determine install approach If Factory Integrated From Recovery Image Install recovery image From Media Install 11i v3 OS/OE using Ignite-UX Install additional non-OE applications using swinstall Using tools from ITRC, identify and install additionally needed patches 1 Install 3rd-party and internal software 1 The Patch Assessment Tool can be found at the ITRC (http://itrc.hp.
Use the collection tables in the following situations: • When you choose the Advanced Installation (the default Ignite-UX option starting with version C.7.5), an interface gives you the opportunity to enter all of this data at the beginning of the install. The interface is a tabbed file folder and is character-based. • If you choose to network-enable your system, you must designate a unique host name, host Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other network information for your server.
Table 7 Miscellaneous data (continued) Type of data Your specific data (WWID might have been presented to the WWPN in the VC profile that to be used with the Blade. The profile must be assigned to the Blade prior to HP-UX install.
NOTE: The cold-install process might involve multiple media swaps. To avoid manually swapping media, use a network depot. For information, see “Network depot” (page 19). Booting Your Itanium-based system 1. 2. 3. Make sure any external devices that need to be configured at cold-install are connected to the target system and are turned on and operational. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the drive. Turn the system on, reboot, or cycle power.
NOTE: The search or sea command will only display legacy hardware paths and will not display agile hardware paths. You will see the agile hardware path after booting your system. Note that both forms of hardware paths are supported (legacy and agile) and you can specify either hardware path in the Boot command. However, only the legacy hardware path can be displayed from the Search command.
• For Help, use Ctrl-K for navigation-key help and Ctrl-F (or F1) for context-sensitive help. • You can enter the underlined letter of an item (such as I for install HP-UX) to navigate more quickly. The remainder of this section describes how to choose the degree of customization needed to configure your installation. 1. If the installation detects that you have a PS2 or USB keyboard, the system displays the Language Mapping screen.
For further information, including disk requirements, supported peripherals, and preparing the client for installation, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (http://www.hp.com/go/ ignite-ux-docs). NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify the Root Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then be used as boot path. Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath hardware path to the disk used as boot path. 4. 5.
7. Use the System tab to configure system parameters such as security levels, host name, IP address, root password, and the time zone. You must set the appropriate security setting for your system at this time. You can choose to set the other system parameters now or at the first boot of your system, using set_parms(1M). To set the appropriate security settings for your system, do the following. IMPORTANT: You should become familiar with the security levels before you set them.
You might need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system. 1. To use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26. 2. You are prompted to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network.
Restoring /home If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows: • For instance, if you copied it to /backup/system1/home, enter these commands: cd /backup/system1/home find . -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home • If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter: frecover -x -i /system1/home -v Restoring other files Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories, such as /usr, /local, and /opt.
6 Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 This chapter describes updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using update-ux to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from a DVD or network source depot.
Preparing to update The following sections describe the initial steps you should take before proceeding with your update. Also included is a graphic overview of the update process. Completing the preliminary tasks Before you update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that: • You have assessed the current state of your system and have met all the requirements described in Chapter 2: “Assessing your system and meeting system requirements” (page 9).
