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:

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:

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