the operating system documentation.
Installing the OS from the DVD drive
1.
Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the external DVD drive.
2.
Power on the server and boot to UEFI. If the server is already powered on, then reboot to UEFI
using the
reset
command at the UEFI prompt.
3.
From the UEFI Front Page, press
S
or
s
to launch the UEFI Shell.
NOTE:
If the device is already selected or you already know the device name, then skip the
following step.
4.
Use the
map
command to list all device names from the UEFI Shell prompt. The
map
command
displays the following:
fs2:\> map
Device mapping table
fs6 :Removable CDRom - Alias cd66d0a blk6
PcieRoot(0x30304352)/Pci(0x1D,0x7)/USB(0x3,0x0)/CDROM(0x0)
From the list generated by the
map
command, locate the device name (in this example, fs6)
NOTE:
Your DVD drive might not be named fs6. Make sure you verify the ID appropriate
to your DVD device.
5.
At the UEFI shell prompt, specify the device name for the DVD-ROM and then enter the UEFI
install command, as in the following example:
Shell> fs0:
fs6:\> install

The OS now starts loading onto the server. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the OS
fully.
