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

Task 5: Finishing Your Installation
Finishing the Guided Installation process begins with filesets being copied from the
media to the hard disk. The system automatically reboots during the installation process.
Depending on how you set up your parameters, the system either sets basic network
configurations automatically, or calls the set_parms command after it has rebooted
to enable you to set the root password, date and time, time zone, IP address, and
additional network parameters.
After set_parms is executed, then the Welcome to HP-UX screen is displayed.
Installing HP-UX 11i v3 installs a minimum set of default networking drivers that apply
to the system. Refer to the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes available at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html
You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other
cards on your system.
1. If your system has a PS2 or USB keyboard on this interface, you must specify a
language mapping to be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator
(ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26.
2. You are prompted to answer a few questions before you can use the system. The
first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network. If you completed
the pre-install data collection tables (see “Before You Begin” (page 70)) you have
all the information you need for set_parms, so answer Y for yes.
3. Enter the basic network information that you collected in Table 5-1: “Miscellaneous
Data”, on the screens that are displayed.
4. Confirm your choices. You are now finished with the install procedures and
presented with a login screen. Log in to the system as root.
After the cold-install, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may need them
to install drivers or other software later.
