Administrator's Guide

IMPORTANT: HP recommends you boot from the Operating Environment (OE) media that
corresponds to the version of Ignite-UX you used to create your recovery tape. HP supports only
matched OE media and recovery tape version combinations.
Using unmatched versions might produce unpredictable results, including: missing files, error
messages, system hangs, and panics.
If you have misplaced the matching OE, or are using an Ignite-UX version with no matching OE,
you can make your own minimal bootable CD/DVD to support two-step media recovery. See
“Creating a boot CD/DVD or an installation DVD” (page 185), or see the section How do I create
the CD equivalent of a tape created by make_boot_tape? in the Ignite-UX Custom Configuration
Files document found on http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX.
1. Insert the HP-UX OE media or the bootable custom media into the appropriate drive, and boot
from it. Either media must match the HP-UX version used when creating the recovery tape.
The User Interface and Media Options screen appears. Select Media only installation and
then OK.
User Interface and Media Options
This screen lets you pick from options that will determine if an
Ignite-UX server is used, and your user interface preference.
Source Location Options:
[ * ] Media only installation
[ ] Media with Network enabled (allows use of SD depots)
[ ] Ignite-UX server based installation
User Interface Options:
[ * ] Advanced Installation (recommended for disk and file
system management)

and go
[ ] Remote graphical interface running on the Ignite-UX server
Hint: If you need to make LVM size changes, or want to set the
final networking parameters during the install, you will
need to use the Advanced mode (or remote graphical
interface).
