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

NOTE: During an installation, Ignite-UX configures the root, dump, and swap devices
with the new HP-UX 11i v3 mass storage stack agile addressing representation. This
means that, after installing, the commands that display the boot, dump, and swap
devices will show them using the agile form. During a cold-install of HP-UX 11i v3,
both legacy and persistent DSFs are automatically created. By default, the installation
process will configure system devices like the boot, root, swap, and dump devices to
use persistent DSFs. For more information on the new mass storage stack, see the white
paper called, The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3 at:
http://docs.hp.com/
Miscellaneous Data Collection Table
Table 5-1 may contain some items that are not familiar to you, but you will be prompted
for this information during the install.
The install process describes all options in detail, so you can defer making decisions
about items that are unfamiliar to you until you reach that point in the install.

Root Disk Path
NOTE: Your root disk will typically display a legacy style
Path name. However, HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming
scheme for Root Disks. Please refer to the white paper called,
The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i v3, for
information on how to identify your legacy root disk device
name in the agile HP-UX 11i v3 naming scheme. You can
display the legacy hardware path using the More Info screen
to show details on a specific lunpath hardware path.
