HP-UX Installation Procedure

Operating System Installation

• Preparation Activities
• Identify swap needed - usually twice the amount of ram
• Identify local disks and their sizes (some file systems will be local, some file systems will be external, such as san)
• Export existing filesystem information for san
• sam - disks and filesystems
• actions --> export
• map file name for each volume group 
• create map file only
• may need to reboot to init level 3 so that the san device will not be busy
• Copy character special files (ie pass through scsi)
• tar cvf passthru.tar sct1
• ftp these files to another location
• Save important files
• /etc/passwd
• /etc/hosts
• /etc/profile
  
• environment files
• start kill scripts
• terminfo files
• patches being stored on this server
• Boot from the Installation CD
  
• Put CD in drive
• Power on or reboot the server
• shutdown -r 0
  
• Interrupt the boot process (Processor is booting from the first available device.  To discontinue, press any key with 10 seconds)
• <esc>  (boot terminated)
  
• sea   (search for boot devices)
• In the list of devices, identify the cd-rom
  
• bo p#  --> to boot from the cdrom
• interact with ipl: no
• If using a USB interface then select a language for the keyboard mapping ( ie 26 - USB_PS2_DIN_US_ENGLISH).
• Text menu "Welcome to the HP-UX Installation/Recovery Process
• Install HP-UX  <-- Select thie for installation
  
• Run a Recovery Shell
• Advanced Options

• lan2 -> ipaddress/subnetmask  (w.x.y.z/255.255.255.0)
• filesystem  (identify local disks - VG00 and additional storage, such as san)
• /stand    100 mb HFS   vg=VG00  /stand=mp
• add/remove disks  0/0/2/0.6.0  lvm vg00, 0/0/2/1.6.0 lvm vg00
• /swap-dump  fixed mb  16588 mb  (should be 2X physical ram)
• /  140 mb Vxfs
• /tmp   500 mb Vxfs
• /home  <-- remove (not going to be used in this example)
• /opt   1gb  Vxfs
• /var  2 gb  Vxfs
• /usr  1.5 gb  Vxfs
• Verify proper scsi id for hard disk (6 is the standard?)
  
• load support cd  (HP UX 11.0 Support Plus  Month - Year)

• PCI Lan Cards  (requires reboot)
• A5230A 100BT/9000 PCI
• use proper ethernet speeds (ie 10mbs or 100mbs)
• use the proper ip addresses for each lan - this can be done from sam
  
• OPK1100 -> Quality Pack  (should be performed AFTER Tachyon and PCI Lan)
• swinstall    local cd
• source depot  -->  /cdrom/QSK1100
• Actions --> Match what target has
• Diagnostic Tools
• Depot path --> /cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00
• Select all 3 packages
• Actions --> Match what target has
• CVSdm_11_00_v10400.depot
• depot path --> /cdrom/hpux/CVSdm_11_00_v10400.depot
• Actions --> Match what target has
• SDM   (requires reboot)
• ARM Discover  (serial #s internal disk, storage array)
• armdsp
• ioscan|more to verify tachyon hw addresses (1/12/0/0.1.23 and 0/4/0/0.1.2.23
• swinstall  b8861e_11_00.depot  for JFS3.3
• cp vmunix ../Kernel/vmunix.bak
• cp -rp * ../Kernel/
  
• swinstall -x autoreboot = true -s /tmp/jfs3.3/b8861e_11_00.depot B3929CA  <-- analysis phase only

• insf -eH 0/4/0/0.1.23.0.0.0
• insf -eH 0/4/0/0.1.23.0.0.1
• ftp map files from temporary server storage to this machine
• /tmp/vgmaps/XXXX  <-- path to map file on remote machine(exported pointers to data that is located on the san)
• Table of data the has the following headings:  <LUN><VG><Mapfile><Mount PT>
• Import Process - from sam
• importable vgs
• LUN
• Volume Group
• Mapfile name
• Create/Modify Physical Volume - from sam
