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.
