HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2008 (Update 3 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 provides limited system configuration and is expected
to be deprecated in a future release.
— Advanced Installation enables you to accept all the default installation
parameters or fully customize your system such as configuring multiple
disks and adjusting file system sizes. HP recommends choosing the
Advanced Installation option to configure your installation.
— 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 Advanced Installation option. For more help on using the Advanced
Installation screens, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. (http://docs.hp.com/
en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX).
Task 3: Configuring Your Installation

Interface (TUI) for the HP-UX Advanced installation process. The Basic tab shows all
the basic information for setting up the file system and for loading the Operating
Environment. It also allows you to configure languages, locale, and keyboard
requirements.
1. In the Configurations field, select an overall system configuration that you want
to use for this installation.
2. In the Environments field, select the type of Operating Environment you want to
