How to enable a DVD as a software depot

During the installation process, two DVDs will be required. Generic instructions for

making a DVD accessible as a software depot for installation onto the Management

Server are provided here. Please refer to the steps that follow for the specific DVDs

that are required.

The steps to mount a DVD for use as a software depot are:

• Insert the DVD into the drive.

• Mount the DVD drive locally on that system.

• Register the depot on the DVD using swreg.

• Check the contents of the DVD using swlist.

These commands can only be executed as the superuser (i.e. root).

A DVD drive installed in the Management Server can be used for software

installations. If the Management Server does not include a DVD drive, use one of

the following two methods.

1. Connect a portable DVD drive to the Management Server.

2. Use an HP-UX system with a DVD drive that is network accessible from the

Management Server, as a source for installation.

For example, to mount the device /dev/dvdrom to the directory /mnt/dvdrom,

execute the following commands on the “source machine” with the DVD drive.

% /sbin/mount -r /dev/dsk/xxx /mnt/dvdrom

% /usr/sbin/swreg -l depot /mnt/dvdrom

% /usr/sbin/swlist @ /mnt/dvdrom

• Using the ClusterPack DVD, mount and register the DVD as a software depot.

• Install the ClusterPack Manager software (CPACK-MGR) on the Management

Server using swinstall.
