Installing HP-UX

Viewing or Modifying Conﬁguration

If you selected OK on the previous screen, or if you have only one target

disk, you will next see the Select Whole-System conﬁguration screen.

This screen asks for the ﬁle system layout you want, Standard

Whole-Disk (non-LVM), LVM ("Logical Volume Manager"), or LVM with

VxFS (Journaled File System).

Figure 2-14

Workstation installation is shown as Standard Whole-Disk (non-LVM). If

a disk is larger than 2 GB, LVM is required.

The default for Servers is LVM conﬁguration, with the exception of disks

smaller than 1 GB. In most cases, especially with multiple disks, you will

want to conﬁgure as LVM.

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight your selection.

The descriptive text at the bottom of the screen changes for each

highlighted selection. You can scroll through the text to get more

information about each selection.

2. Select the option you want, tab to OK and press Enter. You will next

see the View/Modify Basic Conﬁguration screen.
