Before You Begin
Before you cold-install HP-UX 11i v3, you need to collect information about your
existing system. This section contains tables where you can record information. Then,
when you are installing HP-UX 11i v3, you use information from the Miscellaneous
Data and Network Data collection tables when needed.
Use the collection tables:
• If you chose the Guided Installation, the HP-UX Install Wizard prompts you for
the data in these tables at various stages during the install.
• If you chose the Advanced Installation, an interface gives you the opportunity to
enter all of this data at the beginning of the install. The Advanced Installation also
gives you more control over file system configuration. The interface is a tabbed
file-folder and 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.
Contact your site network administrator for the details to include in these tables.
