Installing HP 9000 Software
This section shows you how to install the Graphical User Interface on
HP 9000 workstations. These instruction also tell you how not to install the
Graphical User Interface if you want to use just the conventional Softkey
Interface.
This section shows you how to:
•
Install the software from the media.
•
Verify the software installation.
•
Start the X server and the Motif Window Manager (mwm), or start
HP VUE.
•
Set the necessary environment variables.
Step 1. Install the software from the media
The tape that contains the Graphical User Interface software may contain
several products. Usually, you will want to install all of the products on the
tape. However, to save disk space, or for other reasons, you can choose to
install selected filesets.
If you plan on using the Softkey Interface instead of the Graphical User
Interface, you can save about 3.5 megabytes of disk space by not installing
the XUI suffixed filesets in the "64700 Operating Environment" and
"<processor-type> Emulation Tools" partitions. (Also, if you choose not to
install the Graphical User Interface, you will not have to use a special
command line option to start the Softkey Interface.)
Refer to the information on updating HP-UX in your HP-UX documentation
for instructions on viewing partitions and filesets and marking filesets that
should not be loaded.
The following sub-steps assume that you want to install all products on the
tape.
1
Become the root user on the system you want to update.
2
Make sure the tape’s write-protect screw points to SAFE.
3
Put the product media into the tape drive that will be the source
device for the update process.
