HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

Task 1: Booting Your Machine
This task describes how to boot your system from the install media. If you want to boot
an Itanium-based system, follow the instructions in the section called, Booting Your
Itanium-based System below. If you want to boot a PA-RISC system, follow the
instructions in “Booting Your PA-RISC System” (page 66).
Booting Your Itanium-based System
1. 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.
2. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the drive.
3. Turn the system on, reboot, or cycle power.
• If the system boots automatically, the kernel scans the system for I/O devices.
• If the system does not boot automatically, it goes to the boot menu. It is a
timed menu; press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run the install
manually from the EFI shell using the following steps:
a. From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built In).
b. At the EFI shell prompt, specify the device name (for example, fs1:) for the
DVD-ROM and then enter the EFI install command, as in the following
example
If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for the
DVD-ROM and then execute install. For example, from the EFI shell
prompt, you may see something similar to the following:
Shell> fs1:
fs1:\> install
If you do not see the DVD-ROM device, use the map command to list all device
names from the EFI shell prompt.
The list of devices is displayed automatically, and the install process selects
the device for you.
