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

3. From the User Interface and Media Options window, choose the degree of
customizing needed to configure the installation. Mark your choices and select
OK.
• Select from one of the three choices shown in Source Location Options:
— Media only installation is the default setting for installing from a DVD.
— Media with network enabled is recommended when you want basic
networking enabled during installation so you can load software from a
network depot (when an Ignite-UX server is not available).
— Ignite-UX server based installation is recommended if you have an
Ignite-UX server configured on your network and you want to supply
custom configurations during the installation.
• Select from one of the choices shown in User Interface Options:
— Guided Installation is recommended for basic installations (where default
parameters are sufficient) and provides tutorial information and limited
choices for inexperienced Ignite-UX users. (Ignite-UX permits you to exit
from Guided Installation. You can restart the configuration using
Advanced Installation later by either selecting the Cancel button or
pressing C.)
— Advanced Installation is recommended if you want to fully customize
your system such as configuring multiple disks and adjusting file system
sizes. Use this mode to change VxVM settings. You may also find it
convenient to set system parameters, network services, file-system
characteristics, and other configuration details. For more help on using
the Advanced Installation screens, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide.
— No User Interface is recommended if you want to accept all the default
installation parameters and you do not need to verify the configuration
using the user interface.
The remaining sections take you through the Media only installation option and
the Guided Installation option.
