1 The results are from using the bdf( 1M) command; your results may vary if you use the du( 1) command.
2 Totals are not exact due to rounding.
NOTE: During installation, Ignite-UX (on the File System tab) shows a higher
percentage of disk space used than the information in Table 2-1 shows. The minimums
enforced by Ignite-UX ensure that the cold install completes successfully without filling
a file system. This difference exists on all versions of Ignite-UX.
Disk Space Requirements for an Update
To ensure a successful update to HP-UX 11i v3, make sure that you have at least as
much disk space allocated to the file partitions listed in Table 2-1 (page 23), and that
each partition (most importantly, /usr, /opt, and /var) has at least 10-20 percent
free space to allow for any growth.
