The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 contains
optional development tools and system management software.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 must be booted in order to install optional software
products. The following is the procedure for installing products from
the Applications DVD.
Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM
drive.
Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you
must mount the DVD as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 can access.
Determine the DVD-ROM
device name.
Use the ioscan funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD-ROM.
The following sample output shows a DVD-ROM on cabinet 0
whose device name is /dev/dsk/c1t0d0.
disk 4 4/2/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
Create a mount point for the Applications DVD,
if one does not yet exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access point
for the DVD. Often a /CDROM directory is used. If this directory does not exist,
create it using the mkdir /CDROM command.
Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD-ROM device name and
mount point. For example, the following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device
as the /CDROM directory.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /CDROM
See the mount(1M) manpage for details.
Use swinstall to install software from the Application DVD.
The following example command runs swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /CDROM.
swinstall -i -s /CDROM
See the swinstall(1M) manpage for details.
Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstall program presents an interface for selecting and installing
software from the DVD.
Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from
the DVD-ROM drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted
whenever the server reboots.
Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example, umount /CDROM will unmount the /CDROM filesystem. See the umount(1M) manpage for details.
