HP-UX OS installation


I completed a HP-UX server installation yesterday for one of the customers. Really, this is probably the first time I did a OS installation of a HP-UX server, previously, I have only seen my Unix administrator do it.

For a start, I made a silly mistake, instead of loading the OS installation disk, I put in the documentation CD in the CD-ROM drive, of course, it couldn't start up the installation process, wasted at least an hour then found out the I got the wrong disc!

Eventually, managed to get the right installation going, plus OS patching, the whole process took about four hours to complete.
