Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

No DVD special files
Prior to the first time you run make_media_install, you must create DVD special files. If the
DVD special files are missing when you run make_media_install, you will receive an error
message similar to
:-( unable to open(“/dev/rscsi/c0t0l0”.O_RDONLY): No such file or directory
:-! consider 'mknod /dev/rscsi/c0t0l0 c 203 0x000002; chmod 0600 /dev/rscsi/cotol0'
+ Error 83 /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs failed.
/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_media_install: ERROR: /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs failed.
To add DVD special files:
• Run the command mkdir /dev/rscsi
• Then run the suggested mknod and chmod commands.
NOTE: If the system with the DVD writer is running HP-UX 11i v3, you must use a legacy device
special file to identify the DVD.
Missing -c argument on HP-UX 11i v2 USB DVD drive
On an HP-UX 11i v2 system with a USB DVD drive, you must use the -c argument to
make_media_install and install the patch PHKL_37814. For more information, see “Create
HP-UX 11i v2 bootable media on USB DVD drive for two-step media recovery” (page 183). If the
-c option was not used, an error message similar to the following will be displayed:
:-( unable to open ("/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0",O_RDONLY: No such device
Depot-Based DVDs
The procedure to create depot-based installation DVDs is dependent on the version of HP-UX you
will be installing; use “HP-UX 11i v2 Depot-Based Installation DVDs” (page 185) or “HP-UX 11i v3
Depot-Based Installation DVDs” (page 187).
HP-UX 11i v2 Depot-Based Installation DVDs
This process is largely documented in the make_medialif(1M) and instl_combine(1M) manpages.
The approach is to run make_config against each depot separately, then use make_medialif
to form a single config file for the depots, the default file system layout file, and any other config
files you wish.
Preparation
1. Copy the installation content to your Ignite-UX server.
You will need a great deal of disk space for this. Estimate 4.7 per DVD, which is the space
you have for the depot and the ISO image. Use multiple depots and make sure each depot
is small enough to fit on one DVD.
For example, to create two depots on the Ignite server from OE media, use the following
commands. Each DVD will have to be mounted before the swcopy and unmounted afterwards.
# swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s <mount point of OE_DVD1> \* \
@ <path_to_depot1>
# swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s <mount point of OE_DVD2> \* \
@ <path_to_depot2>
2. Create a configuration file for each depot using make_config.
For example, create a configuration file for the first depot with the following command:
# make_config -x no_sd_server -s <path_to_depot1> \
-c <path_to_cfg_file1>
The no_sd_server option instructs make_config to omit the network attributes for that
depot.
