Installation Notes

Once you have loaded HP DCE/9000 Version 1.6 software into a network distribution area, use the swinstall tool to install appropriate filesets on individual systems.

CAUTION: HP DCE 1.6 on HP-UX 10.30 does not support DFS. If you plan to upgrade a DFS Server system to HP-UX 10.30, unconfigure DFS from the node before installing HP-UX 10.30. Otherwise, the earlier DFS installation and configuration will cause confusion during the HP-UX install process.

The installation procedure invokes swinstall on each target system in a cell. When installation is complete, you can begin cell configuration, which is described in Chapter 5, "Configuring DCE Cells".

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following information.

  • You must know the root password for each system in your cell.

  • If the system is a functioning DCE server or client, stop the DCE software.

  • Know the name of your network source system, as well as the source depot path name.

  • You must install HP DCE/9000 Version 1.6 on a long-name file system. If you have a short-name file system, use the convertfs(1m) utility to convert it to long names.

  • If you plan to do remote installation, you must be able to log in to the remote system using a utility like telnet, rlogin, or remsh. You cannot do a "push" installation to a remote system over a network file system such as NFS or AFS.

Installation Procedure

Perform the following steps to install HP DCE 1.6 software from a network source area:

  1. Log in to the target system as root.

  2. Run swinstall.

    /usr/sbin/swinstall

    The swinstall tool has general and context sensitive help if you need assistance on making selections, or on entering appropriate values. Also, see the swinstall (1M) man page for more information.

  3. In the Specify Source window, specify the source host and depot.

  4. In the Software Selection window, select the products/bundles you want to install.

    If you are doing an upgrade, and you want to match the software currently on the target system, select "Match What Target Has" from the Actions Menu.

  5. Select "Install" from the Actions menu.

  6. Check the swinstall log file and resolve any problems.

    Press the "Logfile" button in the Install Analysis popup window. Look for messages that begin with ERROR, WARNING, or NOTE.

    Refer to Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX for information on resolving install problems.

  7. Install the software.

    Press the OK button in the Install Analysis popup window to proceed with installation.

    After you install the HP DCE/9000 Version 1.6 software on all the systems in your cell that are to be updated, you can begin to configure your cell. See Chapter 5, "Configuring DCE Cells", for information on cell configuration.
