  1. Become the root user on the target (destination) system.

  2. If you are installing SoftBench from an HP-UX Application CD, a codeword is required to copy the software from the CD. This is not required if you are installing from a software depot.

    Refer to “Enter CD Installation Codeword ” for instructions.

  3. Mount the SoftBench CD. You can mount the disk with sam(1M) or mount(1M).

  4. Execute swinstall.

  5. Depending on the version of swinstall you are using, you may need to select a target system before you can view and mark the software bundles to be installed.

    If the Target Selection window appears, use the following steps to select a target:

    1. In the Target Selection window, select the line with your hostname.

    2. Use the menu "Actions:Mark for Install" to mark the target.

    3. Use the menu "Actions:Show Software for Selection..." to bring up the Software Selections window.

  6. From the Software Selection window in swinstall, select a bundle you want to install, and then use the menu "Actions:Mark For Install" to mark the bundle. Table 2-1 “SD Bundle Names of SoftBench Products ” lists the names of product bundles you may choose.

  9. Exit swinstall.

Selecting the SoftBench CM Server Without SoftBench

If Your System Has a Previous Version of SoftBench

If your system has a previous version of SoftBench, do not install the SoftBench CM server without SoftBench. If you have SoftBench 5.X installed on your system, you can do one of the following:

  • Install SoftBench 6.X rather than just the SoftBench CM server software. SoftBench includes the SoftBench CM server software.

or

  • Use swremove to remove SoftBench 5.X before installing the SoftBench CM server without SoftBench.

Selecting the SoftBench CM Server

To select the SoftBench CM server software without SoftBench:

  • Open the C SoftBench bundle listed in Table 2-1 “SD Bundle Names of SoftBench Products ”. You can open the bundle by double-clicking on the bundle or by selecting the bundle and using the "Actions:Open Item" menu. Do not mark the bundle for install.

  • Select the "SB-CM" product and use the "Actions:Mark For Install" menu to mark the fileset for install. You may need to use the scroll bar to see this product in the list.

You have marked the SoftBench CM server for installation. Continue with the swinstall process to load the software. For more detailed instructions, return to the section “Loading the SoftBench Software ” and proceed with the step where the bundles have been marked.
