Installing HP-UX
Viewing or Modifying Configuration
NOTE Starting from the HPUX 10.20 version, /stand is created as a
separately mounted file system. The /stand file system will always
reside on the first logical volume on the boot disk.
The following default sizes will be used for the root and the boot file
systems :
Root FS "/" : 84 MB
Boot FS "/stand" : 48 MB
You can choose either HFS or VxFS as the root file system.
For More Information To find out more about LVM and VxFS, see the manual System
Administration Tasks. The basic procedure for installing the optional HP
OnlineJFS Product, which gives you the complete functionality of VxFS,
is in “Installing the Optional OnlineJFS Product”, in this manual.
NOTE For newer Server systems with a selected system root disk that is
smaller than 1 GB, non-LVM configuration is the default selection. This
is in order to accommodate the HP-UX 10.x file system layout. The LVM
configuration calls for separate logical volumes to contain (at least) the
following :
/, /usr, /stand, /opt, /var, /tmp, and "primary swap"
On a small root disk, it is better to load everything under the root file
system ("/") and take advantage of a common pool of free disk space.
If your system has multiple disks and you want to combine more than
one disk into the LVM root volume group, override the Standard
Whole-disk default for "smaller disks", and specify Standard LVM
configuration.
