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

Task 3: Configuring Your Installation
At this point, the system displays the Install HP-UX Wizard screen for the HP-UX
installation process. You are now at the first step of the Install HP-UX Wizard. This
section describes how to configure your installation using the Guided Installation
process.
1. From the Install HP-UX Wizard screen, select an overall system configuration.
Press Next to accept the default option, HP-UX B.11.31 Default. The system
displays the System Environmentscreen.
2. From the System Environment screen, select the type of operating environment
you want to install on your system. Press Enter to view the choices. Press Next to
accept your selection and proceed to the Root Disk screen.
Please note that you can select additional software to install from the Select
Additional Software screen, described in “Task 4: Selecting and Deselecting
Software Bundles ” (page 81).
3. On the Root Disk screen select the disk to store your root file system. For HP-UX
11i v3, the root disk must be at least 9 GB. Press Enter to view the choices. If you
are unsure of what to choose, keep the default selection that has been calculated
by the install program.
HP-UX 11i v3 contains a new naming scheme for Root Disks. Please note that the
Root Disk screen displays the lunpath hardware path instead of the legacy
hardware path. You can select More Info to view the legacy hardware path for the
root disk selected.
For more information, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide available at the
HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html
Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Root Swap Space screen.
NOTE: The lunpath hardware path selected is used only to identify the Root
Disk itself, and any available path to that disk may then be used as boot path.
Therefore, it is normal to see a different lunpath hardware path to the disk used
as boot path.
4. On the Root Swap Space screen, specify the amount of disk space you need to
reserve for root swap. Some initial calculations have been performed by the install
program, and a recommended value has been set for you. You can either accept
this value or change it before continuing.
Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the File System Type screen.
5. On the File System Type screen, select the type of file system you want to use.
Unless you have other requirements, use the default value chosen by the install
program. Press Next to accept your selection and proceed to the Root Disk/Volume
Group Disks screen.
