If you are planning to cold-install HP-UX 11i rather than update an
existing system, be sure to save the files that you will want to re-install.
These include a number of configuration files in /etc, the contents of
/usr/local, any local home directories (that is, those you do not import
from another system), and any /opt directories that contain installed
software.
If multiple users are preparing for the cold-install, you might consider
creating a directory (such as /backup) on another system. Do not create
this directory on your root disk. Mount it with sam. Then create a
subdirectory for each system or user (for example, /backup/your_sys).
As root, copy the files. For example:
On curly, enter:
mkdir /backup/moe/etc
rcp -p your_name @moe:/etc/* /backup/moe/etc/.
mkdir /backup/moe/home
rcp -pr your_name @moe:/home/ /backup/moe/home/
and so on...
If you want to preserve your colors and fonts in VUE or CDE, execute:
xrdb -q > xrdb.save
Then save the xrdb.save file in your backup directory. Be aware that
VUE is not supported beyond HP-UX 10.20.
