1. Update to HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE

2. Update to the desired premium OE (in this case, the Enterprise OE)

• You cannot downgrade to a lower level operating environment (for example from Enterprise OE (EOE) to Foundation OE (FOE), or Technical Computing Operating Environment (TCOE) to Minimum Technical Operating Environment (MTOE)

• You cannot update between server operating environments (FOE, EOE, and MCOE) and technical operating environments (MTOE, and TCOE)

Choosing a Migration Path

Deciding Which Method to Use

Now that you have evaluated your system and ordered any additionally needed hardware, you need to decide whether to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2 on your system.

Cold-installing using Ignite-UX — This method overwrites everything on the target disk. Use cold-install for new systems and on existing systems when overwriting the root (/) volume will not cause loss of applications or data. The process described in this guide cold-installs a single system from local media. If you plan to install many systems simultaneously, you should plan on using an Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX is available on the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD. Additional information on Ignite-UX and newer versions are available on this web site:

http://software.hp.com/products/IUX

Updating using Update-UX — This method uses the update-ux command and Software Distributor (SD) tools to selectively overwrite the operating system and application software from media or a network source depot. An advantage of performing an update is that it leaves user data, configuration, and applications in place. Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 is limited to the supported paths listed in Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 34.

Depending on your system’s current configuration, here are some general guidelines to help you choose the best migration path to HP-UX 11i v2.

When to Cold-Install

We recommend using Ignite-UX to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 in the following situations:

• You are managing several systems with similar OS configurations.

• You need fast, predictable deployment.

• Your disk space needs reconfiguration. See “How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs” on page 55.

• Your systems are organized with clean separation of the OS from user, application, and data files.

Chapter 236

Choosing a Migration Path

Deciding Which Method to Use

• Your system configuration is not listed as a supported update path (see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 34).

• You are migrating an HP Workstation to HP-UX 11i v2.

You can cold-install from any supported configuration (see “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56).

See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for more information about preparing your system for cold-install. Then the cold-install process using Ignite-UX is described in Chapter 5.

When to Update

You can update rather than cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 when you are updating from supported HP-UX 11i v1.6 systems or from HP-UX 11i v2 (see Table 2-1, “OE Update Migration Paths to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 34 for specific details). Other scenarios include:

• You are concerned about recovering unique applications and data on your root volume, and do not want to write over non-OS files when cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2.

• Each system has a unique configuration.

• Current disk space is sufficient for HP-UX 11i v2 (see “How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs” on page 55).

NOTE Update is not supported on HP Workstations.

See Chapter 4, “Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 63 for details on how to prepare your system to update to HP-UX 11i v2. Then the update process is described in Chapter 6.

Installing Network Drivers

Installing HP-UX 11i v2 will install a minimum set of default networking drivers that apply to the system (see Table D-4, “HP-UX 11i v2 Always-Installed Network Drivers,” on page 174).

Chapter 2 37

Choosing a Migration Path

Deciding Which Method to Use

You may need to select or specify other available networking drivers to enable other cards on your system (see “HP-UX 11i v2 Always-Installed Network & Mass Storage Drivers” on page 174). This can easily be done during the cold-install or update by following the instructions in “Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2” on page 83.

Cold-Install Considerations

The following sections provide additional information to assist you in your decision to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2.

HP Service Partition

During cold-install or recovery, Ignite-UX will change the boot disk partition layout to create a new HP Service Partition (HPSP). This 400MB partition created at the end of the boot disk is used by Online and Offline Diagnostics to hold tools and system data.

The order of the partitions on the boot disk will be:

1. EFI OS Boot Partition (ESP)

2. HP-UX File System (HPUX)

3. HP Service Partition (HPSP)

During back-up and recovery operations, Ignite-UX will not save or restore any changes you make to the HPSP.

Instant Ignition

For customers ordering new systems with the “Instant Ignition” option (also known as “factory integrated”), the cold-installation process described here has already been performed. Skip this chapter and proceed to install application software. See Chapter 8, “Installing

Patches and Applications,” on page 125.

Chapter 238

Choosing a Migration Path

Deciding Which Method to Use

Alternate Cold-Install Methods

In addition to the procedures described in this chapter, you can cold-install your system using the following methods:

• Install from Software Depots

Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX. For help with this method, see the swinstall (1M) manpage and Software Distributor Administration Guide and Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

• Install from Golden Images

If you need to install the same OS/OE and applications on many systems in your network, use an Ignite-UX server as explained in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. With Ignite-UX, you can create a single install image (golden image) containing OS/OE bundles, application bundles, and patch bundles, then install the image on multiple systems in your environment.

IMPORTANT Please note that if you are running an Ignite-UX server on HP-UX 11i v2

and have HP-UX Bastille enabled, then cold-installing a golden image onto another system will require additional steps. For the latest information, please see the following web site:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX

Using the HP-UX 11iv2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11iv1 (B.11.11) System

If you plan to read the HP-UX 11iv2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11iv1 system, or cold-install HP-UX 11iv2 from a depot on an HP-UX 11iv1 system, then you need to install the PHKL_28025 patch in order to read the DVDs.

The PHKL_28025 patch is in the GOLDBASE11i bundle as of June 2003, which you can find on the Support Plus media for HP-UX 11iv1 or at the following web site:

HP Service Partition Is Not Created During Update

If you are updating from a supported update path (see “Supported Update Paths to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 34), HP Service Partition will not be created or modified. OnlineDiag will continue to work properly. Offline Diagnostics, however, will work with reduced functionality.

In order to have full Offline Diagnostics functionality, you must:

1. Update your system.

5. Update the Offline Diagnostics with the latest version of the HP Itanium-Processor Family Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD. See “About Offline Diagnostics” on page 71.

How to Determine If You Have an HP Service Partition

To determine if an HP Service partition exists on your system, enter the following command on your physical disk volume (here named /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0):

idisk -p /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0

You should notice that under the “Primary Partition Table (in 512 byte blocks)” heading, only two partitions exist on the system: the EFI

boot partition, and the HP-UX partition. This example shows that you will need to create the HP Service Partition after updating to HP-UX 11i v2.

Default-Installed Bundles Cannot Be Deselected

There is currently no support for deselecting default-installed bundles (see Appendix D, “Software Distribution Media,” on page 161) from Update-UX. Consequently, all default-installed bundles will be installed with the Operating Environment.

Using the HP-UX 11iv2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11iv1 (B.11.11) System

If you plan to read the HP-UX 11iv2 DVDs on an HP-UX 11iv1 system, or update HP-UX 11iv2 from a depot on an HP-UX 11iv1 system, then you need to install the PHKL_28025 patch in order to read the DVDs.

Install-time Security Considerations

Beginning with HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX Bastille (B6849AA) is included as default-installed software on the Operating Environment media and can be installed with Ignite-UX or Update-UX.

HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/lockdown tool that can be used to enhance security of the HP-UX operating system. It provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis by encoding functionality similar to Bastion Host and other hardening/lockdown checklists.

NOTE For more information about HP-UX Bastille, see the HP-UX 11i Version

2 Release Notes and Managing Systems and Workgroups.

At install- or update-time, you can choose one of the following security configuration bundles with each bundle providing incrementally higher security:

Install-time Security Considerations

Security Choice Dependencies

The Sec00Tools security infrastructure bundle is default-installed on your system. While this bundle does not implement any security changes at install- or update-time, it does ensure that the required software (see Figure 2-1) is installed. By installing Sec00Tools, you can opt to run HP-UX Bastille at a later time to lock down your system.

Alternately, you can lock down your system using one of the following selectable security configuration bundles at install- or update-time:

• Sec10Host

• Sec20MngDMZ

• Sec30DMZ These bundles are dependent on the Sec00Tools bundle.

Figure 2-1 Install-time Security Software Dependencies

These selectable bundles lock down your

This default-installed software is required to secure your system either at install-time or at a later time.

Chapter 244

Choosing a Migration Path

Install-time Security Considerations

Secured Services and Protocols

Each security configuration bundle provides incrementally higher security by locking down various protocols and services. HP-UX Bastille uses a series of questions to determine which services and protocols to secure. Using one of the Install-time Security Configuration bundles applies a default security profile, simplifying the lockdown process.

The following tables detail the services and protocols affected by the security bundles, listed in Table 2-2, if you choose to apply one at installor update-time.

• Table 2-3 lists the security settings for Sec10Host. These settings also apply to Sec20MngDMZ and Sec30DMZ

• Table 2-4 lists the security settings applied with Sec20MngDMZ, additional to the settings in Table 2-3

• Table 2-5 lists the security settings applied with Sec30DMZ. These settings are additional to the settings applied in Table 2-3 and Tab le 2-4

IMPORTANT Review these tables carefully. Some of the locked down services and

protocols may be used by other applications, and may have adverse effects on the behavior or functionality of these applications. For example, ServiceControl Manager and ParMgr rely on WBEM for part of their functionality; Sec30DMZ blocks all incoming WBEM connections via IPFilter.

You can change the security settings configured at install-time by running HP-UX Bastille after installing or updating your system. For more information about using HP-UX Bastille, see the Managing Systems and Workgroups manual, or the HP-UX Bastille User’s Guide, located on your system at

Installing and Updating System Requirements

System Requirements

To cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v2, you must have the following:

• Supported system, see “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56

• HP-UX 11i v2 OE and application media (two DVD set)

• 512 MB memory, minimum

• 1 GB swap space, minimum

• 1 GB disk space to accommodate EFI Boot Disk and HP Service Partition

NOTE If your system has less than 1GB of memory, you may need to manually

set VxFS tunables for optimal performance after cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v2. For more information about these tunables see Appendix C, “Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 155.

Extra space needed with TCOE and MTOE

Cold-installing or updating the HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE and the Minimal Technical OE installs all CDE languages, rather than just a selected language. To remove unneeded CDE language bundles after installing the TCOE or MTOE list them using swlist and remove unneeded bundles using swremove. See Chapter 7, “Verifying System Install or Update,” on page 117 for example uses of swlist and swremove.

Disk Space Allocation for File Partitions

Depending on your system’s purpose, you may need to determine how much disk space you will need for each file partition before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2. For example, if you plan to install applications from other vendors, you may need to modify the size of the /opt partition to accommodate for their size.

Installing and Updating System Requirements

System Requirements

Update Disk Space Requirements

To ensure a successful update to HP-UX 11i v2, you will need to make sure that you have at least as much disk space allocated to the file partitions listed in Table 3-1, and each partition (most importantly, /usr,/opt and /var) has at least 10-20% free space to allow for any growth. Additionally, make sure that you have at least 1 GB allocated for /swap.

How to Plan Your Disk Space Needs

This section provides hints and information to help you determine your disk needs for HP-UX 11i v2. If you need more disk space, be sure to order the equipment and plan on installing it after backing up your current system.

Planning Hints

• Record the hardware path to the DVD drive.

• Develop a clear configuration plan, including:

— File system sizes —Swap space size — Dump device — Disk and file-system parameters — Mirroring information

• If installing application programs other than those supplied within an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment (OE), consider the vendor’s size recommendations.

• When planning disk space, refer to these books:

Installing and Updating System Requirements

Identi fy ing Mod e l , OS /OE, an d S o ftware

Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software

Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2, check the model and other information on the system. You can use this information in the “System Requirements” on page 53.

Identifying model To determine the model number of your system, enter:

model

To verify that HP-UX 11i v2 is supported on your system see “Supported Servers and Workstations” on page 56.

From EFI you can identify the model by interrupting the autoboot process in the boot manager, entering the EFI shell, and using the info sys command:

Shell> info sys

The sample output should appear as follows:

SYSTEM INFORMATION Produc t Nam e: server rx2600 Serial Number: sg20220034 UUID: FF FFF FF F-FFFF-FFFF- FFF F- FF FFFFFF FF FF

Identifying OS and OE

To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter:

uname -r

When a system has HP-UX 11i v2 installed, you can determine which revision (Release ID) is installed by entering the following command:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle

The HPUXBaseAux bundle indicate the current installed revision level. The revision level is indicated both in the bundle version number and the description text.

To identify the Operating Environment currently installed on your system, use swlist. For example:

/usr/sbin/swlist

The output of this command includes a line which identifies the installed OE. For example, this HP-UX 11i v2 OE release generates this line:

HPUX11i-OE B.11.23 HP-UX 11i Operating Environment Component

Chapter 360

Installing and Updating System Requirements

Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software

Identifying installed software

To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For example, to show revision and descriptive title of all software installed on a system, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist

For example, to list all products and their versions on a DVD mounted at /cdrom, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist -s /cdrom

To get table of contents and product details, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist -dvl product -a readme @ /cdrom

The swlist command has many options to expand or narrow the listing to specific attributes; see the swlist (1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administrator Guide, available on the Instant Information DVD and on this web site: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2

NOTE The cold-install process will erase all software on the root volume before

installing HP-UX 11i v2. If you wish to retain any existing software, be sure to back up that software before migrating, or use update.

Update Tasks

Prior to updating to HP-UX 11i v2, you should perform these tasks:

• Recording Software Versions

• Rebuilding the Kernel

• Cleaning Out Your Log Files

Recording Software Versions

To identify what software still needs updating after the OS update, print a swlist listing of all products and bundles prior to the update. For example, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist | lp

Then compare it with a similar swlist executed after the update.

Rebuilding the Kernel

Your update could fail if the HP-UX kernel build fails in the starting environment. To ensure that you have a reliable starting point, rebuild the kernel before you update:

1. As root, enter:

/usr/sbin/mk_kernel

2. Fix any problems listed in the mk_kernel output.

3. Reboot your system to ensure that your new kernel boots.

Cleaning Out Your Log Files

To make it easier to check for problems encountered during an update, rename the log files before starting an update:

1. cd /var/adm/sw

2. As root, rename each log file. For example:

mv swagent.log swagent_old.log

Updating Your Ignite-UX Server

The HP-UX 11i v2 DVD contains the complete Ignite-UX product. When you cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 from the media, a subset of Ignite-UX is used to perform the installation on a single system.

If you plan to update an existing Ignite-UX server to install HP-UX 11i v2 on more than one system in your network, then you should update your Ignite-UX server first.

Updating your Ignite-UX server and using it to update other systems will ensure that you have the make_net_recovery and make_tape_rcovery commands to backup and recover your systems (see the make_net_recovery (1M) and make_tape_recovery (1M) manpages for information). You will also be assured of keeping consistent kernel configuration with specific drivers, daemons, and kernel tunables on all systems.

The latest Ignite-UX software and documentation can also be downloaded from HP via this web site:

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Selecting Your HP-UX Console

HP-UX requires that you select the correct console via a firmware selection menu. If you have ordered a machine with HP-UX pre-installed, your console selections will be correctly chosen for you. If you are already on the system console, then you can skip this section.

However, if you are cold-installing HP-UX, or change your system configuration, you may need to select the correct console. Skipping this step can result in HP-UX using an unexpected device as a console, and can therefore appear as a system hang.

IMPORTANT Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v2 only recognizes

one device at a time. Choosing more than one device may result in the appearance of system hang.

Step 1. Decide what console you want to use.

Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of several possible devices as your system console. The possibilities are:

•System Serial Port

• Management Processor (MP) Serial Port (if present)

• VGA device (if present)

Step 2. Using the EFI menus, select the appropriate console device and deselect

others:

1. Choose the “Boot option maintenance menu” choice from the main Boot Manager Menu:

EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.57] Firmware ver 1.20 [4225]

Please select a boot option

Interface Differences between Itanium-based Systems

Each Itanium-based system has a similar interface with minor differences. You can navigate these menus with the arrow keys or “v” and “^” keys to move around, and use the enter or space key to select and deselect devices. Selected devices have an asterisk (“*”) next to them. After making your changes to this menu, choose Save Settings to NVRAM and then Exit.

VGA Consoles Any device in the output device menu that has a Pci section in its path,

but does not have a Uart section will be a VGA device. If you require a VGA console, choose this device, and unmark all others. In the example above, a VGA device is selected as the console.

Other Console Types

Step 1. Choose Select Active Console Input Devices.

Step 2. Choose the correct input device and deselect others.

Any device in the output device menu that has a Uart section, but no Pci section is one of the system serial ports; devices containing both a Uart and Pci section are MP serial ports. Notice that there are actually four almost identical system serial ports in the example above. The first four entries are identical except for their VenMsg section. This means that each entry is actually the same device, with different protocols for accessing the device. If the first entry is chosen, an Ansi capable terminal device should be used to talk to the serial port. If the second entry is chosen, a Vt100 capable terminal device should be used, and so on.

If you choose either a system or MP serial port, HP recommends you choose a Vt100+ capable terminal device.

Selecting a Console on the HP Integrity rx2600, rx5670, and zx6000 Systems

On the HP Integrity rx2600, HP Integrity rx5670, and zx6000 systems, an entry in the output device menu that has a Uart section and a Pci section will be the serial port on a Management Processor (MP). To use the MP as your console device, select one of the MP serial device entries, and deselect everything else.

Chapter 468

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Selecting Your HP-UX Console

Follow all the substeps in Step 2 of “Selecting Your HP-UX Console” on page 66 to correctly select your console input device. For input devices, a device that has a Pci section in its path, but does not have a Uart section will be a USB keyboard device.

Step 3. Choose Select Active Standard Error Devices.

Step 4. Choose the correct standard error device and deselect others.

Follow all the substeps in Step 2 of “Selecting Your HP-UX Console” on page 66 to correctly select your standard error device. Output on this device will be important firmware messages reporting errors.

Step 5. Reset your system

A system reset is required for your console selections to take effect

Additional Notes on Console Selection

HP-UX makes decisions based upon the EFI Boot Maintenance Manager menu's Select Active Console sections to determine where to send its output. If the incorrect console devices are chosen, HP-UX may either fail to boot, or will boot with output directed to the wrong location. Therefore, any time new potential console devices are added to a system, or anytime NVRAM on a system is cleared, console selections should be reviewed to ensure that they are correct.

More information on the EFI Paths used for console selection can be found in Intel's Extensible Firmware Interface documents available from their web site.

About Online Diagnostics

HP-UX 11i v2 automatically installs diagnostics on all systems to provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the OnlineDiag bundle, give you a complete solution to verify, troubleshoot, and monitor Itanium-based system hardware, including CPUs, memory, interface cards, mass storage and other devices.

CAUTION Uninstalling the OnlineDiag bundle prevents products with dependencies

on the diagnostics from functioning correctly.

Not installing OnlineDiag removes protections against hardware failures that diagnostics provide. Without the tools, it is much harder to troubleshoot and fix problems if a hardware failure occurs.

To ensure the reliability of your computer system, we highly recommend installing the OnlineDiag bundle with HP-UX 11i v2 (it will be installed by default with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment).

The tools in OnlineDiag:

• Protect you against some hardware failures (for example, some memory problems)

• Notify you of hardware events that may indicate impending failure

• Maintain logs that can give you critical help in determining the cause of failures

• Let you troubleshoot system problems with the system online

For most computer systems, no special configuration of the diagnostics is necessary.

Chapter 4 71

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Backing Up Your System

In addition to your normal, periodic system backup procedures, you should create a network backup of your root volume group (see Chapter 5, “Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2,” on page 79). Do this first before performing a cold-install, and again after the cold-install. If a problem occurs, it’s a very simple procedure to restore the system to its original state.

This section offers several alternatives for performing system backups:

fbackup and frecover, and make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery.

Using fbackup and frecover

Ignite-UX recovery commands

Using make_net_

recovery

Many administrators use the basic fbackup command to back up the entire system to tape. You do not need to unmount any imported file systems; fbackup does not cross NFS boundaries unless specified.

Using the normal tape location to do a full backup, insert a new tape and enter:

fbackup -f/dev/rmt/0m -i -v

Later, if you wish to return the system to its previous state, use the frecover command.

For recovering a system, a better alternative to using fbackup and frecover is to use the make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery commands available with Ignite-UX, which offer more flexibility than fbackup and frecover, including the ability to recover non-bootable systems.

The Ignite-UX server software for HP-UX 11i v2 is provided on the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD, and can be cold-installed or updated along with HP-UX 11i v2 to create or update a new server. See “Updating Your Ignite-UX Server” on page 65 for details.

The Ignite-UX server has the make_net_recovery command to create a system recovery archive on another system on the network. The archive created by make_net_recovery is specific to the system it was created for and its identity includes hostname, IP_address, networking information, and so on. In the event of a root disk failure, you use the Ignite-UX server to restore the system by installing the recovery archive.

See the fbackup (1M) manpage for examples.

Chapter 472

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Backing Up Your System

The contents of the system recovery archive always includes all files and directories which are essential to bringing up a functional system. This “essential” list is pre-defined by make_net_recovery. You can run make_net_recovery in its interactive mode to review the directories and files which make up the “essential list,” and also add or remove other data from the archive on a disk/volume group, file, or directory basis.

For more information on using make_net_recovery, see the

make_net_recovery (1M) manpage or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

Using make_tape_

recovery

The Ignite-UX server’s make_tape_recovery command creates a bootable recovery tape for an LVM or whole disk file system while it is up and running. When a system has a logical volume layout, the recovery tape will only include data from the root volume group, plus data from any non-root volume group containing the /usr directory.

You can run make_tape_recovery either on the Ignite-UX server or locally on the system from which you are trying to make a recovery tape.

To create the bootable recovery tape, enter:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av

where: v is for verbose mode and A specifies the entire root disk or volume group. Also, more than one volume group can be specified with the -x option.

If a tape drive other than the default (/dev/rmt/0m) will be used, modify the command to point to the device you want to use, for example a tape drive at /dev/rmt/3mn:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -d /dev/rmt/3mn

To recover a failed system disk or volume group after a recovery tape has been made, simply load the recovery tape, boot the system, interrupting the boot sequence to redirect to the tape drive. Allow the install process to complete. Do not intervene. The system will reboot and, because map files for all associated volume groups have been saved on the tape, any other existing volume groups are imported and mounted automatically. Data which is not in the root volume group must be backed up and recovered using normal backup utilities.

Backing Up Your System

For more information on using make_tape_recovery, see the

make_tape_recovery (1M) manpage on an Ignite-UX server or the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. The guide is available on the HP-UX

Chapter 474

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Saving Configuration Files

If you are planning to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 on a system that already has HP-UX installed, be sure to save the files that you will want to re-install.

These include a number of configuration files in /etc, the contents of /usr/local, any local home directories (that is, those you do not import from another system), and any configuration files located in the /etc/opt directories for installed software.

If multiple users are preparing for the cold-install, you might consider creating a directory (such as /backup) on another system. Do not create this directory on your root disk. Mount it with sam. Then create a subdirectory for each system or user (for example, /backup/your_sys).

As root, copy the files. For example:

Step 1. Copy all config files from /etc on a system named system1 to system

system2. On system2, enter:

mkdir /backup/system1/etc rcp -p

Step 2. Copy your local home directory to the backup system:

mkdir /backup/system1/home rcp -pr

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2

Locating Source Media and Codewords

Now that you have backed up your system and important data files, and you have decided how to cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v2, you need to locate the source media needed for the migration:

• If you are cold-installing or updating one system at a time — cold-install or update directly from the DVDs in the HP-UX 11i v2 media kit:

— HP-UX 11i v2 DVD — Boot and install a new system.

— HP-UX Application DVDs — Install applications not installed

with the OE or install a newer version of an OE application. Some applications installed with an HP-UX 11i v2 OE may be older versions than those available on the HP-UX Applications DVDs supplied in the media kit. Products available on Application DVDs are listed in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTS file on each DVD.

• If you plan to cold-install on many systems in your enterprise — We recommend using an Ignite-UX server to create a “golden image” from which to cold-install. This install image can contain the OS and OE, other applications, and any needed patches. Once the archive is in place, either on the Ignite-UX server or on another system, cold-install on each client system is a single-pass operation; you will only need to reboot each client once.

For details on installing an Ignite-UX server, see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, supplied on the Instant Information DVD and on this web site:

Alternate install methods

Mission Critical Support

Required m e di a Have these DVDs ready from the HP-UX 11i v2 media kit:

• Installing from software depots — Use Software Distributor commands to create depots containing OS, OE, and other software bundles, then install from the depot using Ignite-UX. For help with this method, see the swinstall (1M) manpage, Software Distributor Administration Guide, and Ignite-UX Administration Guide.

• Installing from golden images — If you need to install the same OS/OE and applications on many systems in your network, use an Ignite-UX server as explained in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide. With Ignite-UX, you can create a single install image (golden image) containing OS/OE bundles, application bundles, and patch bundles, then install the image on multiple systems in your environment.

• For customers ordering new systems with the “Instant Ignition” option (also known as “factory ignited”), the cold-installation process described here has already been performed. Skip this chapter and proceed to Chapter 7, “Verifying System Install or Update,” on page 117.

If your system is on HP Mission Critical Support, discuss the proper method of installing and patching the OE with your HP Customer Engineer.

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2

To cold-install the operating system, use the following steps. Please note that cold-installing overwrites everything on the target disk. You should review the Appendix B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 145 to see if any installation issues apply to your system.

Step 1. Make sure any external devices connected to the target system are

turned ON and operational.

Step 2. Insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD into the drive.

Step 3. Turn the system ON, reboot, or cycle power. The system should boot

automatically from the DVD.

• If the system boots automatically, go to step 4.

• If the system does not boot automatically, it goes to the boot menu. It is a timed menu; press any key to stop the timer. Then, you can run the install manually from the EFI shell using the following steps:

a. From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built In).

b. The list of devices displays automatically, and the install process

selects the device for you.

c. If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for

the CDROM and then execute install. For example, from the EFI shell prompt, you may see something similar to the following:

Shell> fs1: fs1:\> install

If you do not see the CDROM device, use the map command to list all device names from the EFI shell prompt.

NOTE Your DVD device may not always be fs1. Make sure you verify the

ID appropriate with your DVD device.

Step 4. Once the kernel has booted, it scans the system for I/O devices.

IMPORTANT Review the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes to ensure that any bundle

you deselect does not have a dependency. For example, you may deselect a software bundle that is necessary for another program to work correctly.

Continuing with Guided Installation

Step 1. You are now at the first step of the Install HP-UX Wizard: Select an

overall system configuration. Accept the default option: HP-UX B.11.23 Default.

Step 2. Select a system environment. In this step you will choose the type of

Operating Environment that will be installed on your system. Press

Return/Enter to view the choices.

For Technical Computing OE media, the choices are:

x Environments: [HP-UX 11i TCOE-64bit ->] (HP-UX B.11.23) x x HP-UX 11i MTOE-64bit x x HP-UX 11i Base OS-64bit x

For 11i v2 Foundation OE media, the choices are:

x Environments: [HP-UX 11i OE-64bit ->] (HP-UX B.11.23) x x HP-UX 11i Base OS-64bit x

For Minimum Technical media, the choices are:

x Environments: [HP-UX 11i MTOE-64bit ->] (HP-UX B.11.23) x x HP-UX 11i Base OS-64bit x

Step 3. Select a root disk. In this step you will choose the disk that will house

your root filesystem. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep the default selection which has been calculated by the install program. Press

Return/Enter to view the choices.

Step 4. Specify the amount of root swap space. Some initial calculations have

been performed by the install program, and a recommended value has been set for you. You can either accept this value or change it before continuing. Press

Return/Enter to view the choices.

Step 5. Select file system type. The default value chosen by the install program

is recommended. Press

x Install HP-UX wizard: Select a file system type x x x x Now that you have made your root swap selection, you x x need to choose which type of file system you would like x x to use. The current choice displayed in the selector is x x recommended. If you are unsure of what to choose, keep x x the default selection. You may then safely proceed to x x the next step. x x ----------------------------------------------------------x x x VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) with VxFS x x x Whole disk with VxFS x x File System: [x Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with VxFS] x x-----------------------------------------------------------x x x x [ < Back ] [ Next > ] [ Cancel ] [ Help ] x x x x-----------------------------------------------------------x

Return/Enter to view the choices.

NOTE If you select VxVM, the root disk can not be moved to another SCSI bus

or address that results in a change in the hardware path to the device. If it is moved, you may not be able to boot safely from it. This is similar to the limitation present in LVM.

Step 6. Specify number of disks in the root group. In this step you will specify

how many disks you want placed into the root disk volume group and whether or not you would like the disks to be striped. (The HP-UX Install Wizard describes these features in depth.)

You must enter Yes or No to “Use Striping”.

Step 7. Select language(s). Browse the available languages, marking the desired

selections. During the first boot, you may have been asked this already.

Step 8. Select additional software. In this step you may select any additional

software which you would like loaded onto your system. Browse the list, marking your selections, then continue to the next step.

For example, to secure your system at install-time with the Sec30DMZ configuration bundle (see “Install-time Security Considerations” on page 43):

SecurityChoices. The four security configuration bundles

appear. By default, Sec00Tools is selected.

b. Select Sec30DMZ from the list.

c. Select

OK.

Step 9. Pre-Install disk information, Step 1. There are two steps involved in the

pre-install checks. The first is to identify which disks will be overwritten during the install process. If you see a disk in the list that you do not want included, back up to the root disk selection and choose another disk. Otherwise, continue on to the next step.

Step 10. Pre-Install check information, Step 2. The second step in the pre-install

check is to review any errors, warnings, or notes. Warnings are simply informational. If there are any errors, they will need to be resolved before the installation can continue.

Step 11. System summary. At this point you have successfully defined your

system. Use the

Show Summary button to view a summary of how your

system will be configured. If you see any problems, or wish to change any of your selections, feel free to back up to the appropriate step, and make the needed changes. Otherwise, select You have the chance to

Cancel at this time. If you cancel, you can start

again.

Step 12. Next, the installation will begin with filesets being copied from the

media to the hard disk. The system will automatically reboot during the installation process.

Step 13. Depending on how you set up your parameters, the system will either set

basic network configurations automatically, or will call the set_parms command after it has rebooted to allow you to set the root password, date and time, time zone, IP address, and additional network parameters.

After set_parms is executed, then the “Welcome to HP-UX” screen will be displayed.

Step 14. In order to use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify a language

mapping which will be used by X Windows and the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE). Choose the appropriate language. For English, select number 26.

Chapter 588

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2

Cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2

Step 15. At this point, you will need to answer a few questions before you can use

the system. The first is whether or not you plan to use the system on a network. If you completed the pre-install data collection tables in Appendix A, “Data Collection Tables,” on page 141, you have all the information you need for set_parms, so answer Y for yes.

Step 16. Enter the basic network information that you collected in Appendix A,

“Data Collection Tables,” on page 141 on the screens that follow.

Step 17. Confirm your choices. Congratulations! You are now finished with the

install procedure and will be given the opportunity to log in to the system as root.

Step 18. Log in to the system.

Step 19. After the cold-install, store the HP-UX DVDs in a safe place. You may

need them to install drivers or other software later.

Retrieving Information after Cold-installing

After completing the cold-install, you can retrieve the information you had previously saved onto another system. Here are some tips:

Creating a new root home directory

Step 1. From the CDE login screen, select

Step 2. Except on trusted systems, edit /etc/passwd to change the home

Step 3. Create the /homeroot directory:

Step 4. Move root’s personal files (files beginning with . ) to /homeroot:

Step 5. Exit and log in again as root.

Recovering files Recover all the customized and personal files that you saved previously

Restoring /home If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows:

Consider creating a root home directory that is not /. This keeps the user root dot files out of the / directory. Make sure it is on the root volume by calling it something like /homeroot. This is especially important if you are using LVM and /home is a separate volume.

Options -> Command Line Login and

directory from root to /homeroot and save it.

mkdir /homeroot

mv /.[a-zA-Z]* /homeroot

by merging them manually. For example, do not overwrite /etc/passwd with your old version. Instead, either paste in entries from your old files or merge the old information into the new files.

• For instance, if you copied it to, /backup/system1/home, enter these commands:

cd /backup/system1/home find -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home

• If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter:

frecover -x -i /

system1/home

-v

Updating Tips

During an update process, here are some tips and recommendations:

Monitoring the Update Process

If you wish to view the update process in detail, open another terminal window (drag it aside so you can also watch for any messages on the window running update-ux) and use the tail command to view swinstall messages being logged:

tail -f /var/adm/sw/swagent.log

You may also wish to log all messages directed to the console by using the script command. For example, to log all messages into a file named: /tmp/updateOS, enter:

script -a /tmp/updateOS To halt the script log process, enter: exit

Running Other Commands

You can run other commands during an update, such as viewing files and tail. However, do not run other Software Distributor commands during an update; doing so may cause the commands to function improperly.

In Case of Trouble

If you encounter a problem during the update process, review Appendix B, “Known Problems and Troubleshooting,” on page 145 for possible solutions.

The update-ux command returns an error value when it is not successful:

1 - Error during execution; update aborted. 2 - Update aborted via user action (-n or keyboard press) Messages are recorded in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log,

/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log, and /var/adm/sw/update-ux.log. When updating Ignite-UX, also look at its log in /var/adm/sw/.

Chapter 6 97

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2

Updating Tips

All Software Does Not Get Updated

The update-ux command updates the HP-UX OS and any software specified in additional software bundles available on the source media or depot. When an OE is specified, some products in the OE will not get updated automatically if a version of the product not previously installed with an OE already exists on the system.

You will have to update or re-install those products after updating HP-UX 11i v2. For more information about how to update these additional software bundles, please see “Updating Selectable Software” on page 106.

Chapter 698

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2

After determining if your system meets the requirements for updating to HP-UX 11i v2 and preparing your system, you are ready to update your system. Updating your system using update-ux includes the following steps:

• “Optional Step: Creating a Network Depot” on page 99: Shows you how to create a network depot to update other systems on the network. If you are not creating a network depot, you can ignore this procedure.
