Before installation of HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 software on a network, the software typically is transferred from the media on which it was shipped to a network source area, or depot. This section tells how to perform this transfer using the swcopy tool.

Before loading HP DCE, you should be aware of the following:

  • If you are installing HP DCE/9000 on a single system, and your system has access to a media device, you can choose to install software directly from media. If you want to do this, proceed to "Installing Software" in this chapter.

  • If your software was shipped with a codeword certificate, you must obtain a codeword from Hewlett-Packard before you load the software into a depot. To obtain a codeword, follow the instructions on the codeword certificate that was shipped with the CD-ROM disk.

Software Loading Procedure

This section outlines the steps you must follow to load HP DCE 1.7 software into a network source area using the swcopy graphical or textual user interface.

See Managing HP-UX Software With SD-UX, as well as the swcopy (1M) man page, for detailed information on the general process of creating a net work source area, and on the swcopy command-line interface. Also, the swcopy graphical user interface has general and context sensitive help if you need assistance in making selections, or in entering appropriate values.

Perform the following steps to load HP DCE 1.7 software into a network source area:

  1. Load media into the drive.

  2. Log in as root.

  3. Start /usr/sbin/swcopy.

  4. Specify the target depot path in the "Select Target Depot Path" popup window.

    NOTE: If you are performing this install as a step in migrating a server system from a previous version of HP DCE, create a single depot containing the HP DCE 1.7 software and the DCE client software that is bundled with HP-UX 11.0. See Chapter 2 for information on migrating from a previous HP DCE version. The target depot path is the pathname to the directory where you want the HP DCE software to be loaded. As a general rule, you should accept the HP-UX default /var/spool/sw.

  5. Specify the source hostname and source depot path in the "Specify Source" popup window.

    The source hostname is the name of the machine on which the media device is mounted; the source depot path is the device pathname.

    When you have specified these fields, a list of the products and bundles available in that source depot (i.e., on the media) is displayed in the "Software Selection" window.

  6. Select the DCE products to load.

    After you select (double-click on) the DCE bundle, a list of the DCE products is displayed. Mark all the listed DCE products for loading.

  7. Load the software into the depot.

    Select "Copy" from the Actions menu.

    If your software media was shipped with a codeword certificate, follow the instructions on the certificate to obtain a codeword before you load the software into the depot. Before you load software that requires a codeword, you must enter a valid codeword and hardware ID. If a codeword is not required for your software, answer "no" to the question "Do you want to enter your authorized codeword to access the protected software?".
