HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

System Requirements
To cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3, you must have the following:
• A supported system. See “Supported Systems” (page 26)
• HP-UX 11i v3 OE and Application (AR) media
• 1.5 GB memory, minimum
NOTE: The minimum memory limit is intended for running the HP-UX 11i v3
Foundation OE (FOE) and minimal applications. Additional memory will be required
for optimal performance and optional software and applications. If the system being
installed has less than the supported amount of RAM, the install will fail with an
ERROR, which indicates the minimum amount of memory required. A WARNING
may be generated if the amount of system memory is determined to be supported but
less than recommended.
NOTE: If your system has the minimum amount of memory, you may need to
manually set VxFS tunables for optimal performance after cold-installing or updating
to HP-UX 11i v3. For more information about these tunables, see Appendix B (page 131).
System Firmware Requirements
Make sure the firmware shipped with the system meets the minimum firmware
requirements for the system for the latest HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) release. HP strongly
recommends you review the minimum system firmware matrix for HP-UX 11i v3
(B.11.31) systems at the HP Technical Documentation Web site:
