Installing the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (part 1) - Integrity Early Boot and Begin Loading HP-UX from an Ignite-UX Server, Integrity Early Boot and Begin Loading HP-UX from Media

10/23/2012 3:19:20 AM
Installing HP-UX means installing one of the 11i Operating Environments, and later building your complete, fully functional HP-UX system by installing both HP and non-HP applications. The initial system is loaded from the 11i media, or from another system on the network using Ignite-UX.

You can have your system delivered with instant ignition, which means that HP-UX is loaded on your system and you only have to add to it the application software that you need. I cover the complete installation process so you can see the process from start to finish. If you have instant ignition on your system, you may need to install additional software on your system in the future and can, therefore, use some of the techniques described in this section to load that software.

Integrity Early Boot and Begin Loading HP-UX from an Ignite-UX Server

On an Integrity (Itanium) server, the boot process is done with selections in EFI. On partitioned systems, it is common to have no DVD from which to load software, in which case you'd load HP-UX from an Ignite-UX server. In the first part of this section, I begin the boot process from an Ignite-UX server and then show loading from a DVD-ROM in the next section. The following listing shows two LAN cards: One is the built-in LAN on the Core I/O board, and the other is an independent LAN card. The Core I/O LAN card is shown in EFI in the following listing:

Please select a boot option

    Acpi(000222F0,100)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(00306E4BAA28) <- Core I/O LAN
    EFI Shell [Built-in]
    LAN1boot
    Boot option maintenance menu


    Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option

You can also create a custom boot option, as I had done for LAN1boot in the previous listing, using the Boot option maintenance menu, but this is not required because you can just select the LAN interface.

After the boot process begins, information is downloaded from the Ignite-UX server to the client, as shown in the following listing:

The installation file is downloaded from the Ignite-UX server to this client.

After the installation file is downloaded and invoked, the standard HP-UX installation screen appears, as shown in the following listing:

                       Welcome to Ignite-UX!

Use the <tab> key to navigate between fields, and the arrow keys
within fields.  Use the <return/enter> key to select an item.
Use the <return/enter> or <space-bar> to pop-up a choices list.  If the
menus are not clear, select the "Help" item for more information.

From this point on a standard HP-UX installation takes place if you select Install HP-UX which is covered in the "Loading HP-UX" section.

Integrity Early Boot and Begin Loading HP-UX from Media

To load from a DVD-ROM on Integrity, you select the EFI shell , pick the DVD-ROM device (in this case, fs0:) and then run the install.efi program as shown in the following listing:
