Software Installation
Note: About Open Source software. This product includes two CD-RW application programs -
cdrecord and X-CD-Roast - that provide additional capabilities and ease-of-use. These applications
will work only on HP-UX 11.0 or 11i. This software is not a Hewlett-Packard product and there is
no support offered for these applications. Hewlett-Packard has evaluated these applications to con-
firm some basic functionality but not all features or capability offered by the applications are func-
tional on HP-UX (please refer to the tutorial file USER_GUIDE.pdf located on the CD-RW software
media). These applications are provided at no cost under the terms of a General Public License (GPL).
Additional information and the source code for these applications is available at the following loca-
tions:
• cdrecord:

• X-CD-Roast:

There are other applications available that can perform similar tasks. These applications can be
found by searching the Web.
Installation Procedure
1. Make sure the PHKL_24282 (for HP-UX 11.0) or PHKL_24283 (for HP-UX 11i) patch is installed
on your system. If not, obtain and install the patch from the CD-RW software media or HP web
site (see above). This will allow your system to communicate with the CD-RW drive.
2. Install the software on your system. As root, execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /dev/dsk/<
cdrom id
> /depot/OpenSource
The software will be installed in /opt/OpenSource
3. Make sure your system is backed up and shutdown properly.
4. Install the CD-RW hardware. See the “Hardware Installation” section of this document.
5. Boot your system and run the MKNOD.hpux script that is provided with the X-CD-Roast soft-
ware:
/opt/OpenSource/bin/MKNOD.hpux
Quick Guide - How to Write a CD on an HP-UX System
The following instructions show you how to write an HP-UX file system (using ISO9660 conventions)
to a CD-RW disk and then take that disk to another HP-UX system and restore that file system.
Caution: CD writing is a real-time process which must run constantly at the selected
recording speed, without interruption. Consequently, running other applications while
writing to the CD-RW can cause the operation to fail. It is highly recommended that you
DO NOT start or run any applications until the recording process is complete.
