How to enable a DVD as a software depot
During the installation process, two DVDs will be required. Generic instructions for making a DVD
accessible as a software depot for installation onto the Management Server are provided here. Please ref
the steps that follow for the specific DVDs that are required.
The steps to mount a DVD for use as a software depot are:
z
Insert DVD into the drive
z
Mount the DVD drive locally on that system
z
Register the depot on the DVD using swreg
z
Check the contents of the DVD using swlist
These commands can only be executed as the super user (i.e. root).
A DVD drive installed in the Management Server can be used for software installations. If the Managem
Server does not include a DVD drive, use one of these two methods:
1. Connect a portable DVD drive to the Management Server
2. Use a HP-UX system with a DVD drive, which is network accessible from the
Management Server, as a source for installation.
For example, to mount the device /dev/dvdrom to the directory /mnt/dvdrom, execute the following
commands on the "source machine" with the DVD drive
%
/sbin/mount -r /dev/dsk/xxx /mnt/dvdrom
% /usr/sbin/swreg -l depot /mnt/dvdrom
% /usr/sbin/swlist @ /mnt/dvdrom
