Choosing a Migration Path
Deciding Which Method to Use
Chapter 238
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.
