Before You Install

Checking the Media

Make sure you have obtained the HP-UX tape or CD-ROM that matches

your source device type. Note that applications requiring codewords will

be on a separate CD. If your HP-UX product has multiple licenses, the

installation process will install the most restrictive license unless you

load a higher level license from the applications CD-ROM.

Using Software Bundles

The software "bundle" is a collection of ﬁlesets that have been

encapsulated by HP for a speciﬁc purpose. These bundles make it easier

to load several ﬁlesets onto your system as a single entity using the new

SD-UX Software Distribution Commands (swinstall, swcopy,

swremove, etc.). Bundles can be kept in SD-UX depots and copied,

installed, removed, listed, conﬁgured and veriﬁed. All HP-UX 10.20 OS

software is packaged in bundles to make it easier to install. See

Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX (HP Part Number B2355-90080)

for more information on SD-UX commands, bundles and depots.

A bundle is used in the same way as the pre-10.20 "partition", except

that a bundle can contain ﬁlesets from several different products. In

general, performing a single operation on a bundle is the same as

performing it individually on all the ﬁlesets listed in the bundle.

Bundles do not eliminate your ability to choose which initial products

and ﬁlesets you wish to load on your system. You may still do this by

interacting with the swinstall utility (see “Loading the Core Operating

System”, in Chapter 2, “Installing HP-UX.”)
