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

Booting Your PA-RISC 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 into the drive.
3. Stop the autoboot by pressing any key.
The boot console menu is displayed. If you need help, enter:
HELP
4. Ensure that Fast Boot is enabled.
1. Select the Configuration Menu: CO
2. If the Fast Boot selection is available, switch Fast Boot ON:
FB ON
3. Return to the Main Menu: MA (Remember to switch Fast Boot back OFF after
installing HP-UX 11i.)
The full memory check that is run when Fast Boot is OFF may take several
hours on a large system.
5. Search for bootable devices, using the choices displayed (for example, enter
searchorsea). A table similar to this is displayed:
Path# Device Path Device Type
----- ----------- -----------
P0 SCSI HP DVD-ROM
P1 LAN.1.2.3.4.5.6 1.2.3.4
P2 FWSCSI.6.0 IBM DDRS-34560WS
Of the media listed, a fast/wide SCSI device (FWSCSI) is usually a disk, whereas
a single-ended SCSI device (SCSI) can be a disk or CD/DVD drive.
NOTE: The search or sea command will only display legacy hardware paths
and will not display agile hardware paths. You will see the agile hardware path
after booting your system. Please note that both forms of hardware paths are
supported (legacy and agile) and you can specify either hardware path in the Boot
command. However, only the legacy hardware path can be displayed from the
Search command.
6. For a legacy hardware path, boot from the DVD drive using the listed path number.
For the drive shown in the previous example (P0), enter: BOOT P0
Please note that if you know the agile hardware path, you may enter it as well,
however it requires a specific format compatible with the BCH interface limited
to 32-bit elements. Use the command, ioscan -e to display the boot path format
to be used here to enter a lunpath hardware path in the BOOT command.
