Chapter 3: Tru64 UNIX Installation

The hardware installation should be complete along with the storage configuration containing member boot device before proceeding with the Tru64 UNIX installation.
The initial installation from CD-ROM creates an installation disk which will be used to create the cluster root disk. From the cluster root multiple member disks are created.

| Note | The Tru64 UNIX installation can be run using a graphical interface (X Windows) requiring a graphics adapter in the server. The Tru64 UNIX installation has a text-based installer for systems without graphics adapters. The text-based installation is universal to all AlphaServers and is documented in this chapter. The installation process is the same for either install method. |
