How to Install HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
To cold install the operating system, which overwrites everything on the
target disk:
Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are
turned ON and operational.
Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 DVD into the drive.
Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot
automatically from the DVD; if it does, go directly to step 4.
IMPORTANT: If the system does not boot automatically, you will be
taken to the boot menu, which is a timed menu -- press any key to stop
the timer. Then, you can run install manually from the EFI shell, as
follows:
1. Select EFI Shell (Built In) from the boot menu.
2. Display the list of devices by typing:
map -b
(The -b command line option scrolls the screen one page at a time in
the event that the device list is longer than one page.)
3. Look at the list of devices (displayed as fs0, fs1, etc.) and identify the
DVD-ROM device. An example of a DVD-ROM device entry from the
map command:
fs0 : Acpi (PNP0A03),0)/Pci(3|1)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
/CDROM(Entry1)
4. The edd30 [on | off ] command toggles the BIOS option to
display device path according to the EDD 3.0 speciļ¬cation. If the
BIOS option is off, the root disk must be located at target 0. If the
root disk is not located at target 0, type :
edd30 on
to enable EDD 3.0.
5. Then enter the command
device_name
:\install. For example, if
the DVD-ROM device is fs0, you would enter
fs0:\install
