Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2  
Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2  
Welcome to HP-UX 11i Version 2  
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the newest release of HP-UX 11i for the Intel  
Itanium architecture. This enterprise release offers a full range of  
HP-UX Operating Environments, including systems management and  
high-availability software products. Itanium-based systems offer  
significantly better price/performance and performance scalability than  
systems based on current architectures, and HP-UX 11i v2 provides the  
best way to preserve your investment through the transition from  
PA-RISC systems to Itanium-based systems.  
Hewlett-Packard's enterprise computing business has carefully planned  
the transition to Itanium-based systems, placing a premium on customer  
and partner investment protection. HP-UX 11i v2 maintains  
compatibility with HP-UX 11iv1 on PA-RISC through the following:  
Common “look and feel”  
Application Build Environment compatibility (source code  
compatibility)  
Data compatibility  
Binary compatibility  
HP-UX 11i v2 offers these industry firsts for Itanium-based systems:  
Support for HP-UX 11i, Linux, and Windows running in separate  
hardware-based partitions on the same computer  
64-way performance scaling  
iCOD (Instant Capacity on Demand) and Pay-Per-Use (PPU)  
HP-UX 11i v2 brings to Itanium-based systems the full power of HP  
11iv1, the #1-rated UNIX operating system (OS) in the world (DH Brown  
2002 UNIX OS Review; see the web site:  
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2002/020530b.html  
HP-UX 11i v2 on Itanium takes its place alongside HP-UX 11i v1 on  
PA-RISC as an industry mainstay for mission critical enterprise  
applications.

Deciding Which Method to Use  
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  
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  
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.

Deciding Which Method to Use  
(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  
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  
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  
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.  
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.

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:

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_28025patch in order to read the DVDs.  
The PHKL_28025patch is in the GOLDBASE11ibundle as of June 2003,  
which you can find on the Support Plus media for HP-UX 11iv1 or at the

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. OnlineDiagwill 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.  
2. Back up your system with either make_net_recoveryor  
make_tape_recovery.  
3. Re-configure your boot disk partition layout to include the HP  
Service Partition.  
4. Restore your system with either make_net_recoveryor  
make_tape_recovery. Consult the Ignite-UX Administration Guide  
for more details about make_net_recoveryand  
make_tape_recovery.  
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.

Install-time Security Considerations  
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 Sec00Toolssecurity 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 Sec00Toolsbundle.  
Figure 2-1

depend on Sec00Tools to install the needed  
software to secure your system.

Chapter 2  
 
       
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 install-  
or update-time.  
Table 2-3 lists the security settings for Sec10Host. These settings  
also apply to Sec20MngDMZand 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  
Table 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; Sec30DMZblocks 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,

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

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,/optand /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  
Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software  
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  
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 syscommand:  
Shell> info sys  
The sample output should appear as follows:  
SYSTEM INFORMATION  
Product Name: server rx2600  
Serial Number: sg20220034  
UUID: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF  
Identifying OS and To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter:  
OE  
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 HPUXBaseAuxbundle 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 3  
 
     
Installing and Updating System Requirements  
Identifying Model, OS/OE, and Software  
Identifying  
To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For  
installed software 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 swlistcommand 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 swlistlisting of all products and bundles prior to the update. For  
example, enter:  
/usr/sbin/swlist | lp  
Then compare it with a similar swlistexecuted 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_kerneloutput.  
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_recoveryand  
make_tape_rcoverycommands 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.

Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2  
Selecting Your HP-UX Console  
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]

Selecting Your HP-UX Console  
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  
NVRAMand then Exit.  
VGA Consoles  
Any device in the output device menu that has a Pcisection in its path,  
but does not have a Uartsection 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  
Any device in the output device menu that has a Uartsection, but no Pci  
section is one of the system serial ports; devices containing both a Uart  
and Pcisection 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 VenMsgsection. 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 Uartsection 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.  
Step 1. Choose Select Active Console Input Devices.  
Step 2. Choose the correct input device and deselect others.

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 Pcisection in its path, but does not have a Uartsection  
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 Consolesections 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  
About Online Diagnostics  
HP-UX 11i v2 automatically installs diagnostics on all systems to  
provide required hardware support. These tools, contained in the  
OnlineDiagbundle, 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 OnlineDiagremoves 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 OnlineDiagbundle with HP-UX 11i v2 (it will be installed  
by default with any HP-UX 11i Operating Environment).

Backing Up Your System  
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 Many administrators use the basic fbackupcommand to back up the  
frecover  
entire system to tape. You do not need to unmount any imported file  
systems; fbackupdoes 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  
frecovercommand. See the fbackup (1M) manpage for examples.  
Ignite-UX recovery For recovering a system, a better alternative to using fbackupand  
commands  
frecoveris to use the make_net_recoveryor make_tape_recovery  
commands available with Ignite-UX, which offer more flexibility than  
fbackupand 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.  
Using make_net_  
recovery  
The Ignite-UX server has the make_net_recoverycommand to create a  
system recovery archive on another system on the network. The archive  
created by make_net_recoveryis 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.  
72  
Chapter 4  
 
         
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_recoveryin 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_ The Ignite-UX server’s make_tape_recoverycommand creates a  
recovery  
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_recoveryeither 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: vis for verbose mode and A specifies the entire root disk or  
volume group. Also, more than one volume group can be specified with  
the -xoption.  
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.

Saving Configuration Files  
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/optdirectories 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 /etcon a system named system1to system  
system2. On system2, enter:  
mkdir /backup/system1/etc  
rcp -p your_name@system1:/etc/* /backup/system1/etc/.  
Step 2. Copy your local home directory to the backup system:  
mkdir /backup/system1/home  
rcp -pr your_name@system1:/home/ /backup/system1/home/

Locating Source Media and Codewords  
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.

The overall process is shown in Figure 5-1 on page 82, along with  
alternate methods of cold-installing HP-UX 11i v2:  
Alternate install  
methods  
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  
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

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 mapcommand 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.

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):  
Chapter 5

a. Select SecurityChoices. The four security configuration bundles  
appear. By default, Sec00Toolsis selected.  
b. Select Sec30DMZfrom 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 Finish (at the bottom of the tabs).  
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_parmsis 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.

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.

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2  
Retrieving Information after Cold-installing  
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  
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 /homeis a separate volume.  
Step 1. From the CDE login screen, select Options -> Command Line Login and  
login as root.  
Step 2. Except on trusted systems, edit /etc/passwdto change the home  
directory from root to /homerootand save it.  
Step 3. Create the /homerootdirectory:  
mkdir /homeroot  
Step 4. Move root’s personal files (files beginning with .) to /homeroot:  
mv /.[a-zA-Z]* /homeroot  
Step 5. Exit and log in again as root.  
Recovering files  
Recover all the customized and personal files that you saved previously  
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.  
Restoring /home  
If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows:  
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

Cold-Installing HP-UX 11i v2  
Retrieving Information after Cold-installing  
Restoring other  
files  
Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories,  
such as /usr, /local and /opt. For help in importing entire volume  
groups, see either the Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for  
HP-UX System Administrators or the Managing Superdome Complexes.  
The commands above will not write over newer files, so your new  
operating system and any files you update are well protected.

Updating Tips  
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 tailcommand to view  
swinstallmessages being logged:  
tail -f /var/adm/sw/swagent.log  
You may also wish to log all messages directed to the console by using  
the scriptcommand. For example, to log all messages into a file named:  
/tmp/updateOS, enter:  
script -a /tmp/updateOS  
To halt the scriptlog process, enter: exit  
Running Other Commands  
You can run other commands during an update, such as viewing files and  
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-uxcommand 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/.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating Tips  
All Software Does Not Get Updated  
The update-uxcommand 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.

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-uxincludes 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  
procedure.  
“Step 1: Installing the update-ux Command (Required Task)” on  
page 100: Shows you how to install the update-uxcommand on your  
system.  
“Step 2: Using update-ux to Update to HP-UX 11i v2” on page 101:  
Shows you how to use update-uxto update your system. Several  
examples are provided to assist you with some of the most common  
scenarios for using update-ux.  
Optional Step: Creating a Network Depot  
NOTE  
This optional step pertains to creating a network depot to be used to  
update other systems on the network.  
If you are attempting to update your system from a network depot, start  
with “Step 1: Installing the update-ux Command (Required Task)” on  
page 100.  
As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX  
11i v2 DVD onto a depot server or other system running HP-UX 11i v2 in  
your network:  
Step 1. Verify that you have at least 2,000 MB (2 GB) of free space to create the  
network depot on another system in your network. If this space is not  
available, use samto either create a new volume group or extend an  
existing volume group. For help, see either SAM help or the Managing  
Systems and Workgroups manual.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Step 2. Log in as root and mount the logical volume on a new directory named  
/update. This directory will hold your network depot.  
Step 3. Insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD and wait for the drive’s busy light to stop  
blinking.  
Step 4. Find the DVD-ROM device file name:  
ioscan -f -C disk | more  
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0is a typical device name.  
Step 5. Create the directory under root(/):  
mkdir /dvdrom  
Step 6. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example:  
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom  
Step 7. Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the target depot, for example  
/update/update-depot:  
Step 8. Unmount the DVD from its directory  
umount /dvdrom  
The network depot is now ready to update your system to HP-UX 11i v2.

update-ux Syntax  
update-ux -s source_location [-?] [-n|-y] [-i]  
[-x option=value] [sw_spec]  
where:  
-s source_location  
Specifies the source containing the new software depot.  
Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD  
containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot  
combination. All paths used in the source_location  
must be absolute paths. If source_locationis a  
remote system/depot combination, the remote system  
should be specified first, followed by the absolute path  
to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no  
spaces; for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw  
-?  
Prints the usage statement.  
-n|-y  
update-uxissues a message and waits for your  
response to continue whenever something unexpected  
is attempted. Specify -nat first (or omit this option) to  
have update-ux“not continue” when an error is issued.  
When you have reviewed/resolved all errors, use -y  
instead of -nto have update-uxignore all messages  
which would otherwise cause update-uxto wait for a  
user response.  
-i  
Specifies the swinstallinteractive user interface to  
select software products from a depot or bundle during  
the update. For more information, see the swinstall  
(1M) manpage.  
-xoption=value  
Specifies swinstalloptions to be applied during the  
update. For a typical update, no swinstalloptions are  
required. swinstall -p(preview) is not supported. For  
information on swinstalloptions, see the swinstall  
(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor  
Administration Guide.  
sw_spec  
Specifies one or more optional software bundles to be  
updated, such as an operating environment (OE)  
bundle name, a network-driver bundle or Ignite-UX. If  
102

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
We Recommend  
this Update:  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (OE Installed)  
To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include an HP-UX 11i v2 operating  
environment, you need to specify the OE bundle name in the update-ux  
command. The OE bundles names are:  
HPUX11i-OE  
HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE  
HPUX11i-OE-EntHP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE  
HPUX11i-OE-MC HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE  
HPUX11i-MTOE HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical OE  
HPUX11i-TCOE HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE  
For example, to update to HP-UX 11i v2 and install HP-UX 11i v2  
Foundation OE, insert the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD in the local drive mounted  
at /dvdrom. As root, enter:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE  
Alternately, if you wanted to update to HP-UX 11i v2 and install the  
Enterprise OE (from a supported update path), you would enter:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent  
NOTE

want (such as Ignite-UX, HP-UX IPFilter, and the selectable network  
drivers) at the same time that you do your update. See “Updating  
Selectable Software” on page 106 for more information.  
For details on what is included in each of the Operating Environments,  
see Appendix D, “Software Distribution Media,” on page 161.

Chapter 6  
 
     
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2 OS (No OE Installed)  
NOTE  
HP strongly recommends that you update your system with an operating  
environment to provide you with an integrated and tested set of  
supporting software and applications.  
If you do not specify an OE bundle update-uxwill only install the OS,  
networking, diagnostic and CDE bundles listed on page 161. Any  
additional software bundles associated with an OE are not installed.  
For example, to update the HP-UX 11i v2 OS, insert the HP-UX 11i v2  
DVD in the local mounted drive and enter the following command:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom  
Adding or Upgrading an OE  
To install an OE on an HP-UX 11i v2 system not containing an OE, or to  
upgrade HP-UX 11i v2 to higher-level OE (for example, HP-UX 11i v2  
Foundation OE to HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE) insert the HP-UX 11i v2  
DVD and specify the new OE using the update-uxcommand. For  
example, to add the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE, enter:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom HPUX11i-OE-Ent  
When the update is complete, the original OE bundle wrapper (if one  
existed) will be removed and replaced with the new bundle wrapper.  
IMPORTANT  
Upgrading to a higher level OE is only supported if you are updating  
from a lower level HP-UX 11i v2 operating environment. In other words  
you cannot update, for example, from HP-UX 11i v1.6 Foundation OE to  
HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE  
You can not downgrade from a higher level OE to a lower level OE  
Updating From a Network Depot  
To update from an network depot on a remote system named netdepot,  
include the path to the depot in the update-uxcommand. The following  
example does an update to the HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE:  
Chapter 6  
105  
 
             
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s netdepot:/update/update_depot \  
HPUX11i-OE-Ent  
Updating Using Interactive Software Selection  
To interactively select software for an update, use the -ioption. For  
example:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /cdrom -i  
update-uxdisplays swinstall’s interactive user interface with software  
already selected to match the default update. Now you can change  
software selections. For example, you can select a non-default network  
driver or a web browser before performing the update. Since update-ux  
selects OS, networking, language, and diagnostic bundles by default, the  
interactive user interface provides a way to deselect the default software.  
CAUTION  
Do not combine -iand -xoptions in the same update-uxcommand.  
IMPORTANT  
swinstall’s interactive user interface does not provide for selecting  
mutually exclusive selectable software bundles. As a result, if you select  
more than one HP-UX Bastille security configuration bundle from the  
SecurityChoices section of the Select Additional Software screen (for  
example, Sec20MngDMZand Sec30DMZ), HP-UX Bastille will apply the  
highest security configuration selected.  
For help using swinstallin interactive mode, see the swinstall (1M)  
Updating Selectable Software  
To update to HP-UX 11i v2 and include additional selectable software  
such as one of the HP-UX Bastille Security Configuration bundles, like  
Sec30DMZ(see “Install-time Security Considerations” on page 43):  
Step 1. Assuming you are updating from the DVD media, as root, enter:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -x /dvdrom HPUX11-OE Sec30DMZ  
106  
Chapter 6  
 
           
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
In the above command, update-uxinstalls the HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation  
Operating Environment bundles listed on Appendix D, “Software  
Distribution Media,” on page 161, plus the Sec30DMZsecurity  
configuration bundle (including HP-UX Bastille, Perl, HP-UX IPFilter -  
included in Sec00Tools).  
If you only want to update your system with a selectable software  
bundle, enter:  
/usr/sbin/update-ux -s /dvdrom Sec30DMZ  
NOTE  
If you select more than one HP-UX Bastille security configuration  
bundle, for example Sec20MngDMZand Sec30DMZ, the highest level of  
security will be applied to your system.  
IMPORTANT  
HP-UX Bastille’s security model is such that it provides incrementally  
higher security (metaphorically, like a ratchet). As a result, you can  
update from a lower security level to a higher security level (example:  
Sec10Hostto Sec20MngDMZ.  
If you intend to downgrade from a higher security level to a lower  
security level, HP recommends that you run bastille -rbefore you  
update your system to ensure that only the security settings you wanted  
in the lower security level are applied. Otherwise, you may encounter  
some security configurations left over from the previous security settings  
applied by HP-UX Bastille.  
Step 2. Complete any configuration for HP software explained in the HP-UX 11i  
v2 Release Notes available on the Instant Information DVD and on  
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2. In this example, to complete the  
HP-UX Bastille installation, see the security chapter in the Managing  
Systems and Workgroups manual.

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log.  
Refer to each product’s installation instructions for details. The location  
of OE product documentation is listed in the HP-UX 11i v2 Release Notes

Creating an HP Service Partition  
Creating an HP Service Partition  
Update-UX does not create or modify the HP Service Partition required  
by some HP Offline Diagnostics tools. If you are updating from a system  
that does not have an HP Service Partition, such as system newly  
updated from HP-UX 11i v1.6, you will need to create the HP Service  
Partition now.  
To Determine If the HP Service Partition Exists  
Step 1. As root, find the location of your root disk:  
If you are using LVM, enter the following command:  
lvlnboot -v  
You should see results similar to the following:  
# lvlnboot -v  
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:  
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:  
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 (0/1/1/0.1.0) -- Boot Disk

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Creating an HP Service Partition  
In Figure 6-2, only two partitions are displayed in the Primary Partition  
Table list: Partition 1 (EFI) and Partition 2 (HP-UX). If the HP Service  
Partition were already configured, you should see a third partition listed  
as HPSP.  
If you already have an HP Service Partition (your output looks similar to  
Figure 6-3), you may skip the rest of this section and continue with, “The  
Next Step” on page 115.  
Before You Begin You will need to ensure that you have a minimum of 1 GB of disk space  
that you can allocate for use by the EFI Boot Disk Partition and the new  
HP Service Partition prior to beginning this procedure.  
Make sure that you are familiar with the Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery  
(1M) or make_net_recovery (4) commands before you start. You can also  
find more information about Ignite-UX, including the latest  
documentation, on the web:  
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX  
The following procedure will take you through creating and configuring a  
new HP Service Partition.  
Creating an HP Service Partition  
Step 1. Determine which recovery method to use:  
make_tape_recoverygenerally provides faster recovery/restore  
performance than make_net_recovery. However HP Integrity  
servers do not support direct boot from tape devices. Consequently,  
you will need to perform a “two-step media” recovery process. This  
means that you will need a tape device with enough capacity to hold  
the system archive, the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD media along with the  
recovery tape to create the HP Service Partition and restore your  
system.  
make_net_recoveryrecovery/restore performance is determined by  
the speed of your network. In most cases, this method is slower than  
make_tape_recovery. However, you can boot directly to the  
Ignite-UX server containing your system archive.  
112  
Chapter 6  
 
Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Creating an HP Service Partition  
IMPORTANT  
The recovery process may fail if the boot disk file system is very full  
while attempting to create a full archive with make_tape_recoveryor  
make_net_recovery, causing either the system or user data restore to  
run out of space.  
HP strongly recommends that you back up your user data using other  
supported backup software for HP-UX 11i v2, and use  
make_tape_recoveryor make_net_recoveryto create an archive of  
your system data.  
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for more details on the  
make_net_recoveryand make_tape_recoverycommands.  
Step 2. Make a system archive using either the make_net_recoveryor  
make_tape_recoverycommand:  
To save a system archive to an Ignite-UX server:  
make_net_recovery -s iuxServer -x inc_entire=vg00  
To save a system archive to tape:  
make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00  
Step 3. Reboot your system. If you created a system archive using the  
make_tape_recoverycommand, insert your HP-UX 11i v2 DVD into the  
DVD drive, before resetting your system.  
Step 4. Depending on which method you used to create your system archive,  
choose the appropriate boot method:  
make_net_recoverymethod: Select the appropriate network EFI  
boot option  
make_tape_recoverymethod: Select the appropriate DVD boot  
option  
NOTE  
See the “System Recovery” chapter of the Ignite-UX Administration  
Guide for more details and information about the appropriate boot  
methods.

Updating to HP-UX 11i v2  
Creating an HP Service Partition  
Step 5. Enter the appropriate Keyboard device for your system.  
Step 6. The Welcome to Ignite-UX! screen appears. Using the Tab key, select  
Advanced Options. The User Interface and Media Options screen appears.  
Step 7. From the list of User Interface Options, select Advanced Installation, then  
select OK. The /opt/ignite/bin/itool() screen appears.  
Step 8. From the Basic tab, select Additional.... The Additional Configuration  
Controls screen appears. This screen includes a list of current partitions  
and their sizes (in KB).  
Step 9. Select EFI Boot Partition. A popup screen appears listing partition size  
options (in KB) that you can choose from. Select 512000(500 MB) from  
the list and select OK. You should now be back in the Additional  
Configuration Controls screen.  
Step 10. Select HP Service Partition. Select 409600(400 MB) from the list and  
select OK.  
Step 11. In the Additional Configuration Controls screen, select OK.  
Step 12. In the /opt/ignite/bin/itool() screen select Go! Your system partitions (EFI  
and HP Service Partition) have been configured and Ignite-UX will now  
begin restoring your system data.  
Step 13. If you backed up your user data using other backup software, restore this  
data now following the vendor’s restore procedures.  
Step 14. After your system and user data has been restored, run the idisk  
command again to verify that the HP Service Partition was created and  
the partition size is correct.

To complete the steps in this chapter, we estimate you require 2-3 hours  
to verify the HP-UX install or update, applications, and patches. Please  
note your time may vary.  
TIP  
This chapter provides verification information for the HP-UX install,  
update, applications, and patches. To check other software patches and  
applications, please refer to the appropriate vendor documentation.

Verifying System Install or Update  
Verifying the HP-UX Install or Update  
Verifying the HP-UX Install or Update  
To verify that HP-UX 11i v2 was installed or updated successfully, use  
the Software Distributor commands swlistand swverify.  
Start Task  
1. Run swlistto determine all software installed on your system:  
/usr/sbin/swlist  
You can control the detail level of the information displayed with the  
-loption. To see all bundles installed, use this command:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle  
To see all products installed or all filesets installed, use these  
commands:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset  
For a cold-install, compare your list with the list of software products  
in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTSfiles on the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating  
System DVD and on the Applications DVD.  
2. Run swverifyto verify that each bundle is intact. Several examples  
follow:  
To verify that an installed English 64-bit OS is intact, enter the  
command:  
/usr/sbin/swverify HPUXBaseOS  
To verify all HP software on your system, enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swverify \*  
The Selection process determines all dependencies of all software.  
After the list, the following message displays:  
* Selection succeeded.  
Then, the Analysis process verifies that each required file is loaded  
(existence and revision), that all required dependencies are met, and  
then it runs any available verification scripts for the product. After  
the analysis, the following message displays:  
* Analysis succeeded.  
118  
Chapter 7  
 
     
Verifying System Install or Update  
Verifying the HP-UX Install or Update  
If the analysis fails, either view /var/adm/sw/swagent.logto  
review the analysis log or run the swjob... command listed at the end  
of the swverifyreport sent to standard output.  
* Verification succeeded.  
TIP  
For help with these commands, see the swlist (1M) and swverify (1M)  
manpages, and the Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is  
available on the Instant Information CD or the web:  
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2  
NOTE  
The HP-UX Bastille install-time security configuration bundles  
(Sec10Host, Sec20MngDMZ, or Sec30DMZ) will not appear in the  
swagent.log. Instead, review your rc.logto determine the status of the  
install-time security configuration. If errors are found in the rc.log,  
review /var/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/level-application-errorsfor  
more details.  
Chapter 7  
119  
 
Verifying System Install or Update  
Verifying HP-UX Applications  
Verifying HP-UX Applications  
To verify that all required HP-UX applications have been installed or  
updated, you should have already tried the Software Distributor  
commands swlistand swverify, as explained in “Verifying the HP-UX  
Install or Update” on page 118.  
For example, to verify that the HP-UX 11i v2 default operating  
environment is intact on your system, enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle  
Identify the bundle(s) containing the OE extension.  
Then enter this command to verify it:  
/usr/sbin/swverify bundle-name  
If you get an error like the following, then the software identified is  
incompatible with your system and needs to be replaced with a newer  
version:  
system's architecture or operating system.  
Start Task  
To update the HP-UX software, do the following:  
1. Mount the HP-UX Applications DVD that contains the software.  
2. Go to Chapter 8, “Installing Patches and Applications,” on page 125  
to install or update the new version using the swinstallcommand.  
3. Use the application; this is the best way to verify the application’s  
operation.  
Open each application, view a working document or project, and  
perform typical production operations such as editing a file and  
printing a report. If the application does not work as expected, see  
the application’s release notes and documentation to determine the  
problem.

Verifying System Install or Update  
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches  
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed  
Patches  
The swinstallutility permits the installation of multiple patch bundles  
with a deferred configuration. Some of these patch bundles may contain  
superseded patches that do not get configured.  
After executing swverify \*on your system, these patches show an  
“installed” software state in the swagent.logfile. This “installed”  
software state is not treated as a warning or error by swverify.  
The “installed” patches may present a problem when the current  
“applied” patch is removed using swremove. The swremovecommand  
does not detect or configure a superseded patch with an “installed”  
software state.  
Start Task  
Follow these steps to check the state of patches currently applied to your  
system:  
1. List the “SD software state” and “patch state” of both superseded  
patches and active (or applied) patches on your system:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -a state -a patch_state patch_number  
To list all patches, use the command:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -a state -a patch_state PH*  
For example, the above swlistoptions may show some differences  
between an older (superseded) patch and the current (applied) patch  
on your system.  
NOTE  
Superseded patches left in an “installed” SD state do not cause any  
problems, but they require an extra swconfigstep when they  
become the current “applied” patch.  
2. HP recommends that you configure a current “applied” patch in the  
“installed” SD state with the following command:  
/usr/sbin/swconfig patch_number  
Chapter 7  
121  
 
     
Verifying System Install or Update  
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches  
WARNING  
This problem only exists when an active patch is removed  
and rolled back to a superseded patch left in an “installed”  
state. Executing swconfigon a patch in the “superseded”  
patch state is dangerous; do not do it.  
3. Use the following options to list active products, patches, and states:  
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state  
The previous swlistoptions will display all active (non-superseded)  
filesets with their “SD software state” and “patch state” attributes.  
You can change swlistto display superseded patches by adding the  
following line to the /var/adm/sw/defaults file:  
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true  
or you can use the following command to display superseded patches:  
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state -x \  
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true

Remove HP-UX patches, if necessary  
Add newer HP-UX patches, if necessary  
Keep up to date with the latest critical patches  
Determining the List of Previous HP-UX patches  
New or replacement patches may be required as dependencies for  
application software installed on your system. Before removing a patch  
or a patch bundle, determine the dependencies required by the installed  
software. You can find this information in the release notes for the  
products and the readme files for the patches. If necessary, you may have  
to remove some installed software from your system.  
Obtaining Newer HP-UX patches  
To obtain newer patches, see the “HP-UX Patching Resources” on  
page 126.  
Getting HP-UX Patch Information  
For information on individual patches in a patch bundle, use swlist (1M)  
to list the readmeattribute at the product level.  
Start Task  
1. From the depot, log in as root and enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -s /temp/depot_name -l product -a readme  
patch_name

Removing HP-UX Patches  
To remove any patches from your system, you must first determine  
which patches are installed.  
1. To display installed patches, enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l patch \*.\*,c=patch  
2. To preview the removal analysis, enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swremove -p patch_name1 patch_name2 ...  
3. You must interpret patch dependencies manually from the patch  
documents, that is, the patch_name.txt files.  
CAUTION  
In rare cases, you may have to remove a patch from your system.  
Generally, a newer patch should just be installed over a superseded  
patch. You should take extreme caution before ever removing a patch  
from your system. Always check for patch dependencies before  
attempting to remove any patch. The swremovewill not do automatic  
patch dependency checking for you like the swinstallcommand does.  
Adding HP-UX Patches to a Software Depot or System

Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications  
Tips for Installing or Updating HP  
Applications  
In the previous chapters of this guide, you installed HP-UX 11i v2,  
installed additional patches if necessary, and verified the system. Now  
you should install and/or update other needed HP, non-OS applications.  
Here are some tips:  
To determine which products and versions are on your system use  
the swlistcommand:  
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product  
HP-UX Applications DVDs have an ASCII file on each DVD called  
TABLE_OF_CONTENTSthat lists all software products delivered with  
the Applications DVD. This ASCII file is viewable with vi,emacs, or  
any other text editor.  
To verify that all installed products are compatible with the new OS,  
run swverifyas explained in “Verifying the HP-UX Install or  
Update” on page 118.  
Use swinstallto install new software or update each application  
not included in the HP-UX 11i v2 OS and OE you just installed. The  
latest versions of many HP-UX software products are provided on the  
HP-UX Applications DVD. To find the contents of each DVD, mount  
any HP-UX Applications DVD and view the TABLE_OF_CONTENTSfile.  
For swinstallinstructions, see the next section.  
Installation of application patches and applications may occur in the  
same swinstallsession to save on the number of required reboots.  
For HP applications, there exists documentation that shows you how  
to install and use an application. The documents may include release  
notes, readme files, DVD and CD booklets, white papers, and guides.

Installing Patches and Applications  
Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications  
Installing Optional Software Products  
The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i v2 contains  
optional development tools and system management software.  
HP-UX 11i v2 must be booted in order to install optional software  
products. The following is the procedure for installing products from the  
Applications DVD.  
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.  
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.  
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the  
DVD as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i v2 can access.  
a. Determine the DVD device name.  
Use the ioscan -funC diskcommand to list disk devices, including  
the DVD devices.  
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet  
exist.  
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access  
point for the DVD. Often a /cdromdirectory is used. If this directory  
does not exist, create it using the mkdir /cdromcommand.  
c. Use the mountcommand to mount the DVD.  
Using the mountcommand, specify the DVD device name and mount  
point. For example, the following command mounts the  
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0device as the /cdromdirectory.  
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom  
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.  
Step 3. Use swinstallto install software from the Application DVD.  
The following example command runs swinstallto install software

The swinstallprogram presents an interface for selecting and  
installing software from the DVD.  
Step 5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.  
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM  
drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server  
reboots.  
Use the umountcommand to unmount the DVD. For example,  
umount /cdromwill unmount the /cdromfile system. See the umount  
(1M) manpage for details.  
Using Ignite-UX  
You can use the Ignite-UX utility to install HP-UX applications on  
systems using a local mount directory, or over a network using an  
Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX is an HP-UX product that facilitates  
installing and configuring HP-UX systems.  
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for detailed instructions on how  
to install HP-UX applications. It is on the Instant Information DVD and  
on the web:  
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11v2  
Ignite-UX can address your need to perform system installations and  
deployment, often on a large scale. With Ignite-UX, you can do the  
following:  
Create and reuse standard system configurations.  
Archive a standard system configuration and use that archive to  
replicate systems in far less time than with other methods.  
Create customized processes to allow interactive and unattended  
installs.  
Recover OS and applications more easily after crashes and hardware  
failures.  
For example, you can install the Ignite-UX utilities to install HP-UX and  
applications on other systems:  
1. Mount the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD containing Ignite-UX (mount point is  
assumed here to be /cdrom) and enter the command:  
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom B5725AA

Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications  
2. After installing the software, see the Ignite-UX release notes and  
Ignite-UX Administration Guide to complete any post-install steps  
and configuration.  
After running an Ignite-UX install session, you have a working HP-UX  
client system.

Backing Up the System  
Backing Up the System  
Now that you have a solid system configuration, you need to back it up.  
This provides you with a stable configuration that you can use to rebuild  
the system, if necessary.  
You can use the Ignite-UX product for making a system recovery backup.  
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide:  
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2  
Depending on your work environment, you can use the following  
commands:  
fbackupand frecoverto create a backup archive and frecoverto  
restore the system, if necessary

Uninstalling HP-UX 11i v2  
Uninstalling HP-UX 11i v2  
If you cannot resolve problems after installing HP-UX 11i v2, then you  
may want to un-install it. The process depends upon the install process  
you followed:  
Assuming that you have made a make_net_recoverytape using  
Ignite-UX, boot the system from that media to return the OS and any  
archived applications to the previous release. This is covered in  
Chapter 11 of the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, available on the  
Instant Information DVD and on the web:  
http://docs.hp.com  
If you do not use Ignite-UX or do not have a current  
make_net_recoverytape, read on....  
If your applications and data are on a separate disk from the OS,  
cold-install the previous OS. This ensures a clean OS installation,  
removing all previous upgrade and patch information.  
If applications and/or data are on the same volume with the OS, boot  
from the previously-saved system recovery tape to return to a  
previous OS. These “expert recovery” processes are in Chapter 11 of  
the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.  
To determine which applications are on the system and where they are  
located, use swlist. If you only need to remove applications or patches  
from the system, use swremove. See the Software Distributor  
Administration Guide for details.

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2

Controlling Memory Utilization  
of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2  
This appendix discusses the effect of two VxFS tunables, vx_ninodeand  
vx_bc_bufhwm, on system memory consumption and provides guidelines  
on setting them for machines with relatively low RAM.

Appendix C

Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2  
Introduction  
Introduction  
VxFS 3.5 resorts to caching objects in memory as a way to improve  
performance. Most of the memory consumed by VxFS is used to cache  
inodes (in the inode cache) and metadata (in the buffer cache). The sizes  
of these caches and the behavior of VxFS are controlled by a set of  
tunables. You can tailor the performance of VxFS to meet a variety of  
usage scenarios while taking into account variations in machine  
configurations via the use of these tunables.  
The default settings of these tunables are meant to provide good  
performance for typical deployment configurations. However, these  
default values can result in the VxFS driver consuming more memory,  
especially when the file systems are stressed (under heavy file system  
load). For machines low on RAM, these tunables may need to be  
manually turned down depending on the expected use of the machine  
and the performance required of the file system.  
VxFS 3.5 exposes two global tunables, vx_ninodeand vx_bc_bufhwm,  
that control the size of the inode cache respectively and thereby affect  
system memory consumption by the file system driver.  
This appendix discusses when and why the sizes of the inode and buffer  
caches need to be tuned down from their default values in certain  
configurations. The following sections describe these tunables in detail  
as well as the effects of changing their default values.  
156  
Appendix C  
 
       
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2  
Controlling the inode Cache  
Controlling the inode Cache  
As a matter of course, VxFS file systems allocate and free up inodes as  
required by the load on the file system. VxFS caches these inodes for  
better performance (faster lookups). In general, larger inode caches help  
file systems perform better for file/web server loads. The global (static)  
tunable vx_ninoderepresents the maximum possible size of the VxFS  
inode cache.  
Normally, the size of the inode cache is decided (auto-tuned) at boot time  
by VxFS depending on the amount of physical memory in the machine,  
provided that the value of vx_ninodeis set to zero (default).  
However, systems low on RAM (typically less than or equal to 1GB/CPU)  
may not require a large inode cache if file systems are not exposed to  
file/web server loads, or file system performance is not critical. It is  
recommended that the value of vx_ninodebe set to more than that of  
nfile, an HP-UX tunable that represents the maximum number of file  
descriptors.  
Appendix C  
157  
 
     
Controlling Memory Utilization of VxFS 3.5 on HP-UX 11i v2  
Controlling the Buffer Cache  
Controlling the Buffer Cache  
VxFS 3.5 implements a private buffer cache used exclusively for  
metadata. The allocations made for this buffer cache are not static but  
grow and shrink during system usage, depending on the load on the file  
system. The global (static) tunable vx_bc_bufhwmrepresents the  
maximum possible size of the VxFS buffer cache.  
The maximum size of the metadata buffer cache is decided (auto-tuned)  
at boot time based on system memory size, provided that the value of  
vx_bc_bufhwmis set to zero (default).  
As with the tunable vx_ninode, a large metadata buffer cache can help  
improve file system performance especially during metadata-intensive  
loads (stat, create, remove, link, lookup operations).  
However, systems low on RAM (having typically 1GB/CPU or less) may  
not need a large metadata buffer cache if the file system load is not  
metadata-intensive or performance is not critical. In such circumstances,  
the value of vx_bc_bufhwmcan be manually tuned down, subject to a  
minimum of 6144 (6MB).

VxFS uses in-memory caches for objects that result in improved file  
system performance. The cache sizes are controlled by tunables that are  
auto-tuned at boot time by the driver. For situations where the  
auto-tuned values are not optimal, you are provided with the ability to  
set these tunables.

HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical OE (MTOE)  
The Minimal Technical Operating Environment (MTOE) is the smallest  
and most fundamental OE that is defined specifically for HP  
workstations. It exists to offer an HP-UX 11i v2 solution to the customer  
who is interested in a low-cost HP Workstation and a correspondingly  
basic Operating Environment. The Minimal Technical Operating  
Environment is directed to the Workstation OEM market and to those  
customers for whom the Technical Computing Operating Environment  
(TCOE) is not a suitable solution.  
The MTOE contains all the base functionality that is common to the  
other four OEs, including the base 64-bit HP-UX Operating System,  
network drivers, and some of the other always-installed features.  
However, compared to the Technical Computing Operating  
Environment, the set of additional features is greatly reduced.

HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments at a Glance  
The MTOE is positioned to deliver a lean set of high-demand  
applications that do not increase purchase cost, support cost, or license  
cost over the base operating system.  
The HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical Operating Environment includes  
the following features:

HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing Operating  
Environment (TCOE)  
Like the Minimal Technical Operating Environment, the Technical  
Computing Operating Environment (TCOE) contains all the base  
functionality that is common to the other four OEs, including the base  
32/64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network drivers, and other  
always-installed functionality. While it is not a superset of the  
Foundation 11i v2 OE, it is a superset of the Minimal Technical OE.  
Unlike the Minimal Technical OE, however, the Technical Computing  
OE is available on both technical servers and workstations.  
In addition to the features found in the HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical  
OE, the HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing Operating Environment  
includes the following features:
