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

Table A-2 Known install and update problems
Description/actionProblem
Updates directly from media are not supported for DRD updates. In
order to update from media, you must copy the contents to a directory
depot either on a remote server (easiest method) or to a directory on the
active system. If it must be on the active system image you must first
copy the media’s contents to a directory depot and then create the clone.
If you already have a clone, you can copy the depot and then loopback
mount that depot to the clone. (See the preceding instructions for “drd
runcmd update-ux may fail when executed on the inactive DRD system
image.”)

What to do
To copy the software from the DVDs, make a directory on a remote
system or the active system image; mount the DVD media and swcopy
its contents into the newly created directory. Unmount the first disk and
insert the second DVD to copy its contents into the directory. (See the
instructions at “Creating a network depot (optional)” (page 35).)
If the depot resides on a remote server (a system other than the one to
be updated), proceed with the drd runcmd update-ux command and
specify the location as the argument of the -s parameter:
drd runcmd update-ux -s server_name:/ \
var/software_depot/DCOE-DVD OE
If the depot resides in the root group of the system to be cloned, and the
clone has not yet been created, create the clone and issue the drd
runcmd update-ux command, specifying the location of the depot as
it appears on the booted system:
drd runcmd update-ux –s /var/software_depot/DCOE-DVD
If the depot resides on the system to be updated, in a location other than
the root group, or if the clone has already been created, use the loopback
mount instructions in the preceding “drd runcmd update-ux may fail
when executed on the inactive DRD system image.”
