HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

Unmounting the DVD
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD drive. For example:
umount /dvdrom
Note the DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server reboots. For more
information about mounting and unmounting, see the mount(1M) and umount(1M)
manpages.
Creating a network depot (optional)
You can create a network depot if you intend to cold-install or update HP-UX 11i v3
on other systems on the network. A network depot allows you to cold-install or update
all systems on the network without having to move media from system to system. You
can also create a network depot if you want to avoid manually swapping media in a
single system.
IMPORTANT: Also see the important information in “Standard HP-UX patch
bundles” [p. 79].
As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot and copy all products from
the HP-UX 11i v3 multiple DVD set to it:
1. Verify that you have at least 10 GB of free space to create the network depot on
another system in your network. If this space is not available, use smh either to
create a new volume group or to extend an existing volume group. For help, refer
to either SMH help or the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide (http://
www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#System%20Administration).
2. The HP-UX 11i v3 OE comes as a multiple DVD set. Mount the first (or next) DVD.
(For instructions, see “Mounting and unmounting the DVD” (page 34).)
3. Create the directory that will contain the network depot you want to create. For
example:
mkdir /var/11iv3
4. Copy all products on the mounted DVD to the target depot. For example, to copy
the products to the target depot called update-depot, enter the following
command:
swcopy -s /dvdrom \* @ /var/11iv3/update-depot
NOTE: Make sure you copy all products from every HP-UX 11i v3 DVD to your
target depot.
5. Unmount the DVD. (For instructions, see “Mounting and unmounting the DVD”
(page 34).)
