HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD
Before you begin, review Appendix A (page 117) for any installation issues that apply
to your system.
Required Media
Have the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software DVD ready from the HP-UX 11i v3 media
kit.
You must boot HP-UX 11i v3 to install HP-UX application software products. Use the
following procedure to install products from the Application Software DVD:
1. Insert the Application Software DVD in the DVD drive.
2. Mount the Application Software DVD.
To install software from the Application Software DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i v3 can access:
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the
DVD devices.
b. Create a mount point for the Application Software DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point for the
DVD. Often a /dvdrom directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create
it using the mkdir /dvdrom command.
c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount point.
For example, the following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device
as the /dvdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dvdrom
Refer to the mount(1M) manpage for details.
3. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the swlist
command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
4. To install software from the Application Software DVD, use the swinstall
command:
The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source
mounted at /dvdrom:
swinstall -i -s /dvdrom
Refer to the swinstall(1M) manpage for details. The swinstall program presents
an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.
